If you don't know OCD, this movie may be a littte hard to understand.
From Wikipedia, Udal's main manifestation is obsessive-compulsive disorder of cleanliness, which can be seen from his reluctance to wear the suits in the store when he attends the dance. The film mainly shows his compulsive behavior, but also when the door is closed and when he walks. As a spectator, it is difficult to understand his obsessions. But that doesn't mean it doesn't. This inner conflict can be seen from his reaction after his first confession to Carol. At that time, only one sentence "I love you" was enough, but he just couldn't say it. Instead, he said something that screwed it all up. Maybe he is calculating various things other than the current love, such as what will happen in the future, etc., and will doubt whether he really loves the woman in front of him. In short, it must be a very complex psychological state mixed with something.
At the beginning of the film we see a eccentric old man who does everything for himself, but I would say it is definitely not that simple, this is not what an OCD person would look like, I guess he lived with him for six years. Over the past ten years, this kind of living habit has been developed. In essence, he must be very delicate, the kind of person who cares about the feelings of others. This should be a common trait of OCD, but sometimes, you can't get out of your own pain, so you can't reach other people at all, so how can you care about others?
After seeing the changes brought about by love, I will be surprised that the OCD old man will forget to lock the door, which is very surprising. Anyway, the old man's last love is very happy, I congratulate! The love progress shown in the film can be summed up in three stages. At first, the old man paid the doctor for Carol's son to pay the bill, because only this woman served him, and he didn't want her not to come to the restaurant; from Carol's point of view, The other party is a man who is willing to spend money for me, but I can't sleep with him. In the second stage , the old man said to carol, "you make me want to be a better man". The old man was already pursuing carol. The way he confessed was "you make me want to be a better man " . After that, carol still had many concerns . And then to the final stage , as a writer and OCD sufferer, he spoke out about what he knew about carol and what he liked about her.
There are also places to complain. I think the script is too strong for what happened in the film. There are no such coincidences in life. I am a gay neighbor who happens to be stolen, and I happen to have no money to see my parents. I also have a dog. , is the son of asthma. . .
In addition, 7 minutes were deleted from the Tencent video. I watched it without being deleted. I don't understand what could be deleted in this movie? Be careful when placing seeds, and pay attention to whether you download the Mandarin dubbing or the original English version!
