Simple, just love

Every year, there are always one or two French love movies that penetrate into my heart. I did not expect this one to appear so early this year, "My King", which tells a pure story between a man and a woman.
Gu Cheng said that love is the only truth, and when it comes, everything is in vain. A man and a woman do not fall in love at first sight, but meet again after a brief meeting. At this time, the woman is divorced and the man is unmarried. The flowers of love bloom immediately, and the romance, hypocrisy, and whispers that follow all satisfy all the settings between couples. For them, love means looking at you and doing nothing, love means wanting to have a child with you, love It is holding hands to accompany you through various street corners. But, as usual, a man always has a depressed and suicidal ex-girlfriend, so the movie shows us doubts, suspicions, and fights. At this point, the four words "love and kill each other" can perfectly interpret the relationship between men and women.
After the two divorced, they suddenly realized that they had been married before. At this time, the film began to become exciting. The woman said, I want a dull life, I don't want too much ups and downs and fluctuations. The man said, life is like an electrocardiogram. The ups and downs are the proof of life, and the dullness is death. Look, I'm speechless.
What I like is that after the divorce, the woman with short hair returned to the appearance before the man, confident, hearty, and energetic. When the two started dating and cheating again, the movie reached its climax and reminded me of Berg. Mann’s "Marriage Life." Who can say that they don't love each other? Even if they keep hurting each other. That's right, they also have a son. Every year, a man celebrates his birthday, and then disappears and reappears. The woman is always by the side, waiting quietly for something, or maybe waiting for nothing.
The state between men and women is always a topic that female directors are willing to discuss. The film is narrated from a female perspective throughout the film, self-pity and self-pity, always regretting, and always forgiving, men are the kings of women’s imaginary world, women are just Falling in love with the man in the fantasy is like the deep irony at the end of the film. After a long period of loving eyes, only the word "goodbye" is exchanged, but what does the man think? Who knows.
Infatuated, fantasy, and beautiful everything loses its color and replaces it with reality and cruelty, which we collectively call love-hate.
As for what is so good about the film, I think it might just be because it made me realize the four words: the one who holds it and loses it.
