The film tells a Western-style liberal romantic love story. From falling in love, getting married, and getting divorced, it embodies the charm of personality freedom. However, in terms of narration, it is mixed with Eastern implicitness, giving the film a poetic aesthetic, and creating an artistic atmosphere in the realistic plot.
There are many details in this film that are handled well:
1. The gentleman's understanding: When Monica was caught stealing the steak, she sliced ​​the steak for her to eat on the table, and called the police to deal with it. He neither gave her a steak to simply let her go, nor did he feed the steak to the dog, beat her severely, and handed it over to the police for this kind of polarizing treatment.
2. Human kindness: When their ship was maliciously damaged, Harry and Monica stunned the damage, and Harry dragged him out of the water to avoid drowning.
3. Harry's Aunt: There is such a role, guarding tradition and conservative in the free indulgence of young people in the film. She cared for Harry without complaint, and gave him the best transition to rush into life
. Harry’s efforts: Harry in the film is a very ordinary boy, when he learned that he had a child , He works hard and studies hard. It is not excluded that the director is also a young man who has educated the liberalism of the 1950s, but he has handled it so well that people cannot feel the slightest sense of being preached.
