After reading it, it's really hard to make sense of it.
On the whole, this movie is more rational and grounded than the Revolutionary Road. What's interesting is that the heroine in the Revolutionary Road is a housewife. She can't change her husband's decision, so she has a miscarriage and died. In the marriage story, Si Jiali is a typical modern woman. The divorce is precisely because she feels that she has become a subsidiary of her husband and has no right to speak or decide. This also shows the improvement of women’s status. In addition, this film also reveals some changes in marriage views, such as, The heroine's father is a gay marriage, but there are many LGBT groups in the industry that the heroine is engaged in. People have changed their views on marriage and sexual minorities.
The most glorious moment in the film is "being alive" in the male lead singer Sang Uncle's musical "company". The male lead in the musical is in a similar situation to the male lead in the movie, experiencing the misfortune of marriage, but in the end he still has some expectations for love. The male protagonist in the movie is helpless. No one gets married for divorce, no one falls in love for breaking up. The relationship between people is sometimes really metaphysical. The last scene reminds me of stealing my heart, i don't love you anymore. Love is so capricious. I can finally be like you as a friend, a comrade in arms, and even tie your shoes, but I don’t love you anymore. ，The love is blown in the wind, in the time.
Does the marriage system protect love? Or is it the grave of love? Just like what the marriage counselor said at the beginning: I want you to know why you fell in love with each other in the first place. Unfortunately, the reason for falling in love with each other is also the reason for separation.
Anyway admires the courage of the heroine. This is based on the fact that she puts herself first in her life. In reality, she has seen too many general and cooperative marriages. It is great to find her own way.
Finally, as a musical fan, I was very happy to watch this show. I feel cross-border. Scarlett sings very well in that section, and the final being alive is even better! I suggest that friends who want to get married, take a look at the revolutionary road and marriage stories. Blue Valentine’s Day is not recommended. I feel that the story is not based on true love or marriage. Love is difficult, marriage is difficult, and you can start again. But don't give up on yourself.
