Marriage? Marriage?

The Chinese translation of the name is sometimes very weird, and the name that cannot be played together is actually two translations of the same movie, such as this "Marriage First, Friends Second".
I have been paying attention to the share of marriage in love, and thinking about the sequence of "being love" and "being a husband and wife". At the same time, it also involves "getting a family first, then a business" or "creating a career first and then a family". This title is obviously enough to attract me.
In fact, it is not. In a sense, I am disappointed. The film just put marriage on the agenda as a goal from the beginning. In fact, it is no different from the usual situation, and it has nothing to do with the lightning marriage. In the end, the man and the woman only stepped into the situation when they knew each other. The marriage palace, the film also ends.
Except for the Cupid-style marriage proposal of the god of love at the beginning and the sudden death of the ex-girlfriend, which is a bit unexpected, the biggest gimmick can only be regarded as a straightforward proposal to a strange woman after a man scans the surroundings in the restaurant. The woman even agreed to him. If I were a director, let them go to the church to hold the ceremony immediately, and then go to meet in the name of the husband and wife, at least this would be more in line with the logic of the Chinese name, so that we can experience the marriage and love mode different from the general process through the screen . But the real plot is clichéd, at least popular. A female ghost with a special identity was sandwiched between the man and woman, who shook the man who was not sufficiently mentally prepared at the critical moment. The surly tempers held by the parents of both parents were used as additives, which made the formal union of the two twists and turns to the end. "Friends" is not reflected either, it just continues the old routine of "the prince and princess live a happy life" in the fairy tale. Of course, as I said at the beginning, this translation is not appropriate. The Pleasure of Your Company may not talk about marriage in the original story. At best, it is just a funny incident between partners.
It seems that the Chinese are more likely to associate, because a man's unreasonable purely unexpected or perfunctory proposal of his friend found these four incisive words to summarize the film and use it as the title. What is the success rate of lightning marriage? Is marriage based on love out of date? How does the modern view of marriage treat it?
There is a saying that has become popular recently, thanks to "Lust Caution". Zhang Ailing said that a man reaches her heart through a woman's vagina. Men like to get the most precious treasure, citing classics to "coerce" a woman to satisfy his sexual fantasies as Shangfang's sword, thinking that the person who gets her will naturally get her heart, and regard sex as the medicine or even the foundation for stabilizing love. In his gender perspective, men have been given "animals that think in the lower body", and they are very sad and helpless. They can have no feeling for a woman, but they can still accept to marry her. Loveless marriage is no longer a rarity. It's the end of the year again, and there are many more information about renting temporary girlfriends everywhere. Love is insignificant in this fast food age, just like the man and woman in the film, who have never met, let alone understood, can promise each other marriage. Surprised? If the consciousness reaches that when the definition of marriage has deviated from "forever", it would be less embarrassing to make such a frivolous decision. If a lightning marriage can last, it mostly depends on fate, if love at first sight still exists.
In this issue of "Shanghai Week", Uncle Lian Yue said that women should respect their own happiness, and the real health should be "a man reaches the vagina through a woman's heart". A little further, whether it is "marriage first and then friends" or "friend first and then marry", feelings are always the foundation. I sometimes think, if this is the case, then what is marriage and what is it? A certificate? But do people who really have feelings still need a thin piece of paper to prove it? Therefore, many artists in Hong Kong and Taiwan have been together for a long time but have not seen marriage. For them, marriage is just a form, and true love should not be symbolized.
On the other hand, more traditional Chinese still regard marriage as a must and a guarantee. Marriage is the prerequisite of a family, and often with a family, the heart of the people can be stable, and only when starting a career can there be strong backing support. There are also many young people around me who are beginning to understand this. They get married as soon as they graduate from college. This seems incomprehensible to many people, but it is justified to them.
Inadvertently, I directed and acted in a movie called Inviting the Lord into the Urn-I am also Chinese, and I am used to Lenovo. A light-hearted comedy film is broken up and broken up, and it's still sturdy, destroying the original drama's supposed comedy color, and letting the director want. It’s a shame to be cute and happy.
