This is perhaps the film that caused me to think the most, because the film transforms the most intense contradictions in ordinary life into such a flat love story, which quietly throws the audience's ethical questions about what happiness is in a calm atmosphere.
The film's leading man, the father of two adorable children, hopes to love two women (or more) at the same time - his wife and lover Emily. While dealing with them, he felt no guilt, and he felt very happy, and later he confessed his thoughts to his wife, hoping that she would understand that he still loves her, and that if she loves him, he should make him more She was happy and expressed her respect for her thoughts and let her decide whether to continue such a relationship. At first, the wife was a little worried by calling the other person a "third party" like ordinary people, and then unexpectedly agreed to him after a few words from her husband, Say, "Okay, then I'll make you happier." Then go back into your husband's arms as usual. When he woke up, his wife drowned and the director consciously did not explain whether it was an accident or suicide. The husband held his wife's body with only a touch of sadness. Soon he and Emily took the children on an outing as usual, and the background music was still Mozart. Cheerful tunes, the scenery in the suburbs is still gorgeous, and the happy atmosphere seems to run through the film.
The actor makes an agreement with his wife for his own happiness. He speaks his mind because he loves her, and the wife fulfills his happiness because he loves him. The film portrays the actor as a very innocent person. He would rather believe that his wife died unexpectedly. In this way, he can maintain his previous mentality and continue to be with his lover, so that the story of the film can still conform to the logic of normal people. Such a story is in line with the fantasy of many people, and to love a wife or husband and lover at the same time, if such an ideal color If your assumption is successful, many people will feel very happy, but suddenly a wife who regards fulfilling your happiness as her own happiness, when you wake up and leave you forever, you can maintain such an innocent heart Can you live happily as usual? Can you believe that she died unexpectedly? One person's extravagant desire for happiness is at the expense of the other person's love, and if it is replaced by concealment, it will make the two go further and further and get the same The ending. The husband's self-interested love and the wife's altruistic love show two different views of happiness. In the film, the husband's frankness is important, but he does not know the necessity of equality between the two parties in happiness. For him, happiness is based on He is unaware of the suffering and sacrifice of others.
The death of his wife may be regarded as a symbol of sacrifice for love, but it is downplayed and inconspicuous in the peaceful and beautiful atmosphere of the whole film. Perhaps the director wants to use such a method to realize the fantasy in On the screen, it makes people feel the misfortune buried in happiness.
