1, Chico's character: Chico is actually a little naive man, not mature enough. However, naive men are more real and cute. If they are like the one who took Rita away, they are mature, scheming, and successful, but you don't love them anymore. I don't question Chico's love for Rita, it's just that his love, from a woman's point of view, doesn't seem to be enough. When his ex-girlfriend came to the door, when he was unable to resolve the conflicts and fights between the two women, the weak side of this man was undoubtedly revealed. He never mentioned it, didn't fight for it, didn't ask Rita to be with him. He is always passive. silently. Silence is sometimes quality, sometimes incompetence. When Rita insisted that Chico's name must be added to the contract to fight for a chance for him, Chico drank high and did not listen to the explanation, which caused Rita to misunderstand him. If it wasn't a misunderstanding, he wasn't wronged. After all, when Rita left Cuba sadly on the big boat, another woman slept in his bed.
2. The essence of love. Although Chico is deeply in love with Rita, he still has contacts with other girls. If his love for Rita is 99 points, then for the other girls, each is no less than 40 points. Such love is always inferior to the unreserved 90 points that the woman usually pays. If love is mutual, then this mutual should be in one-to-one correspondence between you and me, which seems to be equal enough. Of course, Rita's love for Chico was not perfect. Because she didn't understand at first, love is far more important than others. She still has dreams. Women, especially after being disappointed with men, are more inclined to put their future on more practical things, such as fame, fortune, and money, even if they are in love.
3. Features and themes of the film: The thick-line portraits, the detailed city outlines, and the outlines of lights are a unique viewing experience. Jazz and soft piano, the icing on the cake, even if there is no delicate picture, it is a feast for the ears. This story is not very big, but in the dimension of long life, it has not lost its tension. Although love is the main thing, it also involves the betrayal of friends, the turmoil in Cuba, and the ruthlessness of the years. In the first half of the film, it is mentioned that only if you join the party can you be allowed to do what, which is also a political observation, reflecting the director's political perspective.
