Taking the love of abnormal people as the theme, the idea is novel. There are also a few more exciting episodes, such as the male protagonist wandering in the garage, using the license plate number to relieve sadness, which is more flavorful. In addition, the section where the male protagonist brings his boss home for dinner is also quite exciting. Before the end, the male protagonist finds the female protagonist to talk to. The heartfelt scene is also good.
I remember reading a passage somewhere, saying that if a person says they are going to break up, but they have not been in contact for two days and can't help but want to find another person, it means that there is real love. In this regard, the film's portrayal of love is in place.
The ending is obviously superfluous and seems to underestimate the understanding of the audience. If it ends with the scene where the male protagonist finds the female protagonist and the two embrace each other before the end, I thought it would be just right and have an aftertaste.
The scene where the male protagonist and the female protagonist go to bed for the first time is also handled unimaginatively, which is a bit cliché.
Although the director has also put some effort into depicting emotions, and also has a finely crafted pen, but in general, I feel that there is still a lack of "power". It is also based on the love of abnormal people. This film seems to be inferior to Ge Minhui's director and Wong Kar Wai's "The World of Two People After the First Love", which is imaginative and infectious, but also lacks the latter's depth of thinking about love.
Of course, although I feel that there are shortcomings, compared to romantic films with a strong commercial atmosphere, such as "Walking in the Clouds", this film still has some characteristics, and the techniques are not too oily, so I rated it 4 stars.
