[5x2] Using flashbacks, it tells the five important moments in two people's lives - encounter, marriage, childbirth, friction and divorce. The layout of the plot is simple and neat. Instead of deliberately integrating the five themes and packaging them in a complete plot, they are clearly divided into five paragraphs, and the audience's focus is closely linked to the love and family issues of the male and female protagonists. The most intriguing thing about the film is that at the very beginning of the film is the divorce lawsuit between the two. When the audience gradually understands that this is a couple who are a good-looking couple, the story begins to review how they got along, how they got married, and how they met the
male and female protagonists. The first encounter in the book is not very romantic and unexpected, because some accidents cause Mary to change her journey and go to the beach alone for a holiday. Humanly speaking, the recognition scene is both surprising and embarrassing. For Gilles, Mary is attractive, and Gilles' girlfriend also feels the possibility of a crisis, but the two do not communicate or deal with this situation, as if they have declared their emotional death in advance. Therefore, when Gilles' girlfriend participated in the mountaineering activities alone, Gilles and Marie were basking in the sun on the golden seaside. The two did not talk much, but chose to walk into the seemingly beautiful but undercurrent swimming pool in front of them. Traveling is like two people who choose to walk into a love and marriage, even though they know that there may be dangers beneath the surface.
Do two people in love and marriage have to completely trust each other and keep no secrets? Mary has been hiding the big secret of the wedding night, and Gilles told Mary the details of his cheating for the first time in front of other guests. In marriage, one chooses to keep silent, and the other is completely open and honest. But from the results, it doesn't seem to be the best choice. Because cheating hurts a lot of feelings, it should be handled with care if it happens. For example, Gilles suddenly confessed on an inappropriate occasion, which was extremely embarrassing and shocking to the unsuspecting Mary; Mary kept a secret, although she did not People know the fact that she once betrayed, but this secret will create an invisible screen for herself, separate the husband and wife, and plant the seeds of future conflict between the two.
The director and screenwriter deliberately used the subtle actions of the protagonist to tell the audience that Gilles and Mary have different living habits. For example, Gilles used to read before going to bed, but Mary usually turns off the lights as soon as she climbs into bed; Mary cleans up the meal. When the plate was put on the plate, he was told by Gilles to wash it before putting it back in place and so on. Two people who originally came from different life backgrounds, after getting married and getting along day and night, will gradually discover the differences between the other party and themselves. This is an inevitable thing, or in other words, no one can be 100% compatible with the other.
As far as this film is concerned, women who face childbirth are stronger than men, and women often forget their pain and worry about their lovers; while men are learning that their wives must give birth prematurely and that they have no choice to become a father. At that time, he was afraid and cowardly, and he didn't even dare to see his wife's face. Men and women can be said to be two sides that complement each other physically and psychologically. When faced with certain things, there may be a situation where a "strong big woman" protects a "weak little man".
The theme of the film is very simple, that is, love that everyone will encounter, but there are countless movies about love, we can choose to sing the beautiful works of love, and give some positive encouragement to ourselves waiting for love to come, but I think instead of observing how a love story begins, it is better to think about how and why they end, and use reason to approach the essence and original appearance of love.
