Some things can never be borrowed

In fact, I really want to get two stars. For the sake of the beautiful scenery, I will give one more. The first time I watched this movie was when I was in college. After watching it all, I felt a sense of awkwardness lingering. The screenwriter probably wanted to portray the hero's courage to take responsibility and the road to see injustice. But there is a problem with the premise of what he did. Pretending to be someone else’s husband is a deception. Besides, he has a fiancee. But the screenwriter told the audience at the beginning of the story that the woman had cheated. This removed all moral obstacles for the male protagonist's subsequent empathy. What if his fiancee didn't betray him? What if she has been waiting for the hero to return from the battlefield? If this is the case, what about what the male protagonist did—pretending to be someone else’s husband falling in love with the woman who meets peacefully—what should be considered? How will he face his fiancee? How can we convince the audience that this is not betrayal but true love? The screenwriter was obviously unable to face this problem, so he adopted a very weak solution. Therefore, this seemingly beautiful but not very glorious relationship is built on the basis of the fiancée's image being smeared and cannon fodder, making the male protagonist's so-called "sense of responsibility" very funny. The unmarried female protagonist not only had no intention of taking responsibility, but also found a fake husband to deceive her father. The theme of this movie is responsibility and love, but I feel that the director has not figured out what responsibility is and what love is. Just told a seemingly beautiful story of dog blood. It’s okay if you don’t plan for yourself or your children. God will airborne a handsome pick-up man to you. I remember Zhou Muyun said to Bai Ling in "2046": "There are some things I will never borrow." If you love someone deeply, you will not use your feelings for charity. This is the most basic responsibility.
