Two puzzled

The plot is great except for two questions. 1. What does Kirby like about Carrie? 2. Has Kirby grown up? Before Carrie finished talking, Kirby seemed to be a god, calm and confident. His annoying movements after Carrie left may be the most obvious scene of his emotional fluctuations in the entire movie. Of course you can see that the film admires his natural way of life, but criticizes his treatment of others. For example, he always allows others to decide his own life, but he doesn't know that sometimes women don't want to make their own decisions. But he didn't take any action on this. Perhaps the director just felt that this was a side effect of Kirby's obedience to his heart, and there was no need to criticize it. In the end, Kirby was injured. When Carrie came to his home to take care of him, he met K's female friend, but Carrie talked about Kirby as he did when he was a guest at her home for the first time, completely repeating or even emphasizing the views at that time. And this is in conflict with Kirby, what happened in the plot. So, I am very puzzled

    Just so you know I rarely give out one stars...it's not that the film itself is so unbelivable and horribly made in any sense--the melodramatic fashion was actually intended so. But to me I simply hate clichés too much to have any appreciation for anything else in the film.

    Serk's light is too cowardly! ; Fassbender's version retains the core conflict, reduces a lot of drama (the last few scenes of this film are really vulgar now), and the tone is more severe; you have to have courage, it is very, very critical, and finally , pray for luck
