Indeed, constantly looking for and encountering love is the clearest clue in the film. The image positioning of the heroine Nora is easily reminiscent of the four chirping women in "Sex and the City", all middle-aged single career women in Manhattan. However, I don't know if the director intentionally left the thread, or had to shed some feathers in order to set off the plot. In short, under the main line, I still saw too many unspoken subtexts.
From the moment Nora was at home dressing up for a friend’s wedding anniversary, her neurotic face made the corners of my mouth twitch when I was sitting in front of the computer. Nora opened the door of the bathroom mirror, picked up the medicine bottle and put it down; Nora fell asleep tired after an animation attack, only to find Julian was missing, and the corners of her mouth slumped up and down when she wandered the street and saw the toy penguin. Yes, she is anxious to find true love, but it is not only that what makes her anxious. Emotional frustration is only the most concentrated manifestation of all problems, it is the result, not the cause.
See how the director tells the story. After being cheated by the actor and failing the "blind date", God finally sent a handsome exotic man when Nora was exhausted and traumatized. He fell in love with her at first sight or had already fallen in love with her. However, lunch is not free. After indulging in gluttony, if you want to stay together, you have to pass your own test first. So Nora, under the torment of remorse, sadness and longing, made the decision to resign, and met a witch to give her advice, and finally made up his mind and decided to fly to Paris. But this is not enough, and the renunciation and regret are not thorough enough. So Nora was arranged to lose her phone number and encounter N different foreign good-hearted people. She listened to her and encouraged her. When she finally knew how to enjoy the peace and beauty of being alone, Mr. Right was willing to appear.
Not to mention how terrible the ending is-an American sweet lady with a fairly well-off income in a country where she was born unfamiliar and spoken, she actually took a public bus instead of Taxi when she rushed to the airport at the last minute. It is incredible. I just want to know that after the sentence "I know", after the miss out flight, all the problems are really solved?
Even if the harbor of love is stable, but the cover of the truth of life has been lifted, love is not enough to block the eyes. She persisted in a position she didn't like for many years, but she was full of food and clothing, but her heart was empty; her anxiety may be temporarily recovered by the handsome romance of Prince Charming, but who knows when a new fuse will appear and detonate it. In fact, looking at the life of Nora’s friend Audrey is enough to make another Broken English II-when Audrey puts on the wedding ring again in the bathroom and can’t hold back her tears, it’s not her husband who compromised. Or marriage and love, but bow your head to recognize another general law that is outdated. After all, no matter what stage you go to, you are likely to be attacked by anxiety; no matter how you choose at the beginning, you will inevitably face a situation where things are backfired, expectations are frustrated, dreams evaporate, and your heart is tormented, but you have to forbear and defend yourself. After all, there are few people who can say no boldly, and even the few who succeeded after making the case. What I saw when I climbed over this mountain was not the sea, but another mountain. I only hope that this is not the only path in life, although it does occupy most of the possibilities.
One last digression. Affected by the globalization of the financial crisis, it is inevitable to be provocative to see any film or video about the middle class in the United States recently. Specifically for this film, Audrey said "at least it has a bathroom" after entering the hotel room, Nora and Audrey said "I can't believe it's raining in Paris" when they were shopping on the street, and so on. Let me, a citizen of a developing country, raise my eyebrows. The arrogance and arrogance of Americans and the greed and strength of American consumers really make people love and hate them.
