Although it sounds like a family tragedy, there is not a trace of despair in the whole film. On the contrary, many details make people laugh. Maybe the director wants to tell us that the failure of a marriage does not have to be viewed in a tragic light, a normal heart is enough, and a bit of humor is fine.
In addition, I would like to make two points:
Marriage is a complicated issue, and how to maintain a sense of balance between husband and wife is an eternal topic discussed by marriage experts. The loss of this sense of balance is gradual. In the film, the husband's abuse of his wife gradually accumulates until the wife completely loses the ability to resist, just like the cooked frog, which can only be slaughtered. At this point, I suddenly discovered a big flaw in the film. I don’t know the characters thoroughly. Under normal circumstances, people who have lost their self-confidence for many years are basically useless. Few people can do the heroine-like "lifting weight with little weight". "In this sense, this film lacks realism. Going back to the discussion about balance, some studies have shown that 4/6 is the income ratio of most balanced families. There are many cases that teach women that women must have their own careers. In addition, some people warn that both spouses must communicate and understand each other... …, there are too many factors that need to be paid attention to, and there are too many factors that can help maintain balance. Since childhood, people have told us that "the prerequisite for changing the world is knowledge, and powerlessness comes from ignorance." But why are there so many people in this world who don't know these factors but can better balance them?
The film adopts the old-fashioned technique, so that the bad guys get retribution, and the retribution and the violence are placed at a similar time, so as to comfort the audience and educate the world. This reminds us of Buddhism. It tells us that bad people must get retribution. It is not that they are not repaid, but that the time has not come. If this is true, why does the Buddha often educate when the education is almost meaningless? As for such a long time for the bad guys to be punished, wouldn’t it be better? Wouldn’t the world become pure and beautiful because of this? Is it true that the contest between evil and good is the continual driving force of the universe?
