The synopsis is not worthy of this movie

Maybe some audiences were tricked in by the introduction of the plot, and found that the development of the real plot did not match the introduction, or that it was not the kind of drama they wanted to watch, so I was a little disappointed. And, what the hell is the "lovely suave" in the introduction? In fact, I am not very satisfied with the Chinese translation of the film, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing else suitable. I just thought of Chen Kaige's "Kill Me Gentlely".
This is a work that suits my taste very well, but I probably won't watch it a second time, it's too painful.
Some people think that the plot is loose, but the love and hatred between men and women, if they are separated, how can the emotion of kill me heal me be expressed by a concrete story? If it were really written as a standard three-part story, would everyone feel that it was too routine and simple? This is not destined to be a movie that can be watched with popcorn. What's more cruel is that it won't even make you cry like a Hollywood movie.
In the case of a relatively stream of consciousness in the plot, the editing is a perfect "story teller" role in this film. I have to say that the editing of this film is wonderful. There are three narrative lines: 1. Milena was rescued in the emergency room 2. The detective asked Alex about the process of investigating the case 3. Milena and Alex's love experience. (In fact, the fourth line is interspersed, that is, the emotional experience of Milena and her husband in the legal sense, but there are fewer fragments and I won’t discuss it here.) The
three lines intersect. Some of the transitions are very delicate. Up to now, various perfect and seamless transitions in this year’s popular American drama "Thirteen Reasons" have used the same technique, but today, 37 years later, this technique has been used even more. Natural, skilled and added tonal changes to clarify the transformation of time and space.
The more amazing thing in this film should be the intersection of line 1 and line 3. During the love process, every time Milena was disappointed with Alex, the "deep pain" in her heart would be switched to the straightforward, blood-red, and physiological "externalized" pain in the emergency room. The audience can only clearly see Milena's dilated pupils and see a hole pierced in her throat, so that they can deeply feel how violent Alex has caused her in this relationship.
Milena seemed to be a woman who knew exactly what she wanted. "I eat when I want to eat, drink when I want to drink, fuck when I want to fuck!" she said, after she temporarily rejected Alex's plan to have sex. But after saying this, she still chased Alex to the stairs, took off her clothes humblely, and had sex with Alex crazily with tears.
These two people love each other so strongly in their relationship, but they don't know what the other party wants, and don't know how to give it, so they are constantly quarreling and suspicion, constantly moving closer and farther away.
In this film, the transformation of the character of the detective is also very interesting. He went from ordinary investigations to the dark side and curiosity of his heart to ask Alex to tell him whether the truth was what he had guessed. Each of us will not be as simple as it seems. Just as Alex was a decent and knowledgeable doctor and professor, but he "killed" Milena and vilely molested her who was dying. Milena looks sloppy, beautiful, and cares about nothing, but she feels so insecure in her heart. How much she hopes a man loves her, Milena herself, not just her beautiful body.
In the end, just as Alex and Milena met again, the lives of the two people seemed to go on familiarly, but the scar on his throat when Milena looked back could never be erased.
It's too hard to love and be loved.
