out of control

It's not a movie that you watch in a row, starting on Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday morning, and watching it three times. In the middle of the two time points, I was thinking, should I continue to watch it, the pursuit of completeness is better than the pursuit of perfection, and I finally received a surprise. This film has a lot of aftertaste for me, and the reason is very simple, many of which are in line with my personal experience and current questions. Simply use the male protagonist, female protagonist and male supporting cast to refer to the three in the convertible car.

Scene 1: The heroine and the mother cry, she feels that she is changing to hate. This kind of self-loathing moment, this kind of reflection after our actions, is so real; including the back, the heroine told the hero on the phone how stupid what she said on the road just now. I felt the same way. I overthrew myself countless times. Afterwards, I felt that what I said just now was too rude and hurt people. Maybe there is someone who understands you again and again. It is a blessing.

Scene 2: The male lead is telling about his growth experience. In the car, the female protagonist expresses great empathy, but the male protagonist throws out a sentence. I forgot the original words, to the effect that it may not be the fact that caused your pain. itself, but the sadness that comes from not accepting another fact in your heart, that is, there are people in this world who are happier than you at the same time, and they omit the pain you go through. Think about it this way, misfortune is the norm, and happy people are also normal. Who hasn't been happy yet.

Scene 3: The male protagonist finally went to the female protagonist, and the female protagonist screamed in the sky, why can't I have a normal boyfriend, at this time, the mother came out and said, sometimes I really can't. Who defines normal? Can the normal ones see the essence of your integrity and kindness through phenomena? Don't they stop when they see your waitress appearance?

Scene 4: This is not a single scene, it is a mix of scenes in my mind. The male protagonist must lock the door when he goes home, repeating 5 times; the male protagonist does not lock the door when he returns home; As if the imprint had been drawn; the male protagonist finally opened the door of the bakery, and the soles of his feet landed across the border, and also walked in.

The male protagonist may be a kind of extreme in our life, one who pursues perfection, acts strictly according to plan, looks at the world with his own prejudice and fixed eyes, and is looking for self-affirmation every moment, those people; female protagonist Maybe it's the people who, despite life's thinness to you, still have the greatest enthusiasm and joy and are determined to embrace it. We don't have to strive for perfection, but to be perfect.

    The female acting is so-so, and the award should be given to the dog.

    Too average mediocrity is as good as the "bucket list". It does not mean mediocrity, but this work is really worthy of mediocrity. The plot is smooth but not attractive. The actors are all good actors, but they are combined together. But it doesn’t look so good, and the lines are not so full of wisdom. At the beginning, there was a sentence "It’s just a bit more realistic for Friday night." I think it’s a bit interesting. It’s better to present this kind of story in the way of Jin Carrey’s works. I am a little more comfortable, not more exaggerated and happy. I always feel sleepy when I look at it. In addition, there are many things in this work that are really inexplicable. I don’t understand why the score is so high. I feel that if the starring role is changed to a Chinese face and the environment is replaced by a Chinese environment, the score may be drastically reduced. It is estimated that the freshness has caused such high scores, it is not recommended
