Passive women, angry men, and a feast without love


1
The posters of the American film "Love Feast" adopt the same column design as "Love is Compromise" and "Love Holiday". Judging from the latter two movies, this kind of film is worthy of the name. It has the same lightness and brightness as the poster, which makes people relaxed and comfortable after watching it. As expected, "Love Feast" is also such a movie.
The old philosophy professor played by Morgan Freeman is the idea of ​​many people. The owner of the coffee shop is an honest man. One day he found his wife was flying away with a lesbian, so he went to Morgan to complain. It was a wet rainy night. He Discouragedly discussing countermeasures with the professor, a girl walked into the cafe and caught up with an honest man within a few days. Then, the two became newly married Luanfeng.
The owner of the coffee shop was supposed to spend a good night with the female guests he met by chance, but the good times did not last long. His wife soon flew with her old lover. The honest man said helplessly to the old professor: It seems that I can only be a passing guest in a woman's life. The old professor stared at him and sighed with him.

"Can you tell me why you did this?" The
honest man couldn't turn his head for a while, and cut his little finger with a knife. He didn't expect to meet a beautiful and gentle female doctor after entering the hospital.
"Because I want to make my body hurt as much as my heart." What
a real and sincere answer, and the female doctor cast her loving eyes on her, perhaps with some pity.
At this point, I feel more and more that the coffee shop owner I just saw has my own shadow on him, so I put a pen for a while and ate a few slices of watermelon in the kitchen. What kind of world is this? The guy Morgan even made fun of him: Fortunately, your second wife didn't run with the woman again. "But it's worse this time," the honest man replied immediately.
The beautiful doctor became the third wife of the coffee shop owner. It is really unimaginable. Is this the result of the development of the concept of equality between men and women and freedom of love? The honest man must be very depressed. The two ex-wives are just passing girls in his life, and he has become two angry men. Fortunately, the coffee shop owner has no temper. The tolerant and generous he obviously wants to embrace his third wife and live a smooth life. Forgetting the past is the best choice.

In fact, the main line of the film is not only the "tragic love experience" of the honest man, but also a young couple who eliminates all disadvantages and bravely loves each other. This is a pure love story, and the complicated love experience of the honest man is present. There is a sharp contrast, but often the purest feelings do not end in a satisfactory manner. The director is very unhumane and puts the life of the young man to an end before the end of the film, leaving the film with "complex love".
In this way, "The Feast of Love" is not so brisk and bright, but should be evaluated with pessimism and dullness. However, the other main thread of the film, that of young men and women, changed the "tragic nature" of the film. The young woman who lost her husband was not depressed and tired of the world, but firmly took on the responsibility of raising children. Although she is not a beauty or a sexy girl, she has a light and natural smile anytime and anywhere, with a faint and charming smile. As if to soothe all sorrows.
The old professor, who had never come up with any good ideas, finally did a "good thing" at the end of the movie, fulfilling his promise to recognize the girl as an adopted daughter, "under the bright night sky, warm and refreshing", the girl and the old professor hugged tightly, and instantly She gained the sense of security and dependence that she lost after losing her husband. A bright warm current quietly accompanies the appearance of the film's subtitles directly into the hearts of the audience. Although this is a feast without love, the feeling of happiness and warmth has long surpassed all love. Meaningful.
