It's true, in ten years, if Jack hadn't died, the perfect couple back then would have been married, living together, ten years in the play, ten years in the play, and just received a point.
However, no matter how perfect the lovers are, marriage is marriage after all.
What's more, the perfect couple is often more lost and the conflict is more painful.
Throughout the film, there is a background that is constantly emphasized, that is, the Willer couple is a perfect couple in the eyes of others, and they are outstanding and outstanding in the revolutionary road, even in their own identity. Inside, they are also a perfect natural couple, so they think they have the privilege and responsibility to make dreams that others dare not face into reality.
For the dream of "living in Paris", after the couple had endured enough empty and meaningless lives and quarreled all day, they were finally brought into their reality by the emotional and tortured wife, and then the rational husband also He accepted the proposal to make this dream a reality because of the recognition in his heart that they were a perfect couple. From that moment on, they embarked on the revolutionary road of their married life.
And the reason for the revolution is that their marriage, like countless other ordinary and trivial marriages, is killing each other's joy of love. On the other hand, the idea of "We should be a perfect couple, how can we feel the difficulty of love more and more?" It also magnifies their mutual pain. They can't be as helpless but calm as the neighbor couple. The idea of accepting a bland marriage, in addition, is full of the power to push them on the revolutionary road to marriage, and finally, "Live in Paris! Live in Paris! Live in Paris!"
This revolution, like any other, is a It began to show gratifying signs. In the process of preparing for "living in Paris", they regained their passion for the past. Mr. Madman, can become their excellent friend.
It's just that something called "screenwriter" appeared. - I am kind and optimistic that if the revolutionary road of their marriage can be fully completed, they can truly become the perfect couple. However, due to the unexpected turn of events in his husband's career and his wife's pregnancy, the husband was first shaken. At this point, the memory of his father was actually the key. This shaking also gave birth to a crack in the revolutionary road. But for the wife—a woman who is sensual and passionate—he is still unswervingly attached to the dream of "living in Paris", and she is so looking forward to this revolutionary road to allow her husband to regain his The vitality of life and the heat of those who once loved. When the road of revolution started to be smooth sailing, I believe that every night she fell asleep with a smile. This is the difference between men and women. Men are to love, while women are more waiting to be loved and waiting. In the process, they waited for too much sensibility and expectation. They seemed to be weak, but in fact they also tempered their persistence and strength while waiting, but when such persistence and strength appeared in the road of revolution, they showed terrible. Negative effects - she had sex with a neighbor's man, she said "I don't feel it, I'm not in love" when her husband confessed to her an affair, she knocked it out at home alone after preparing a warm breakfast for her husband The "sad" fetus, as the maniac called it, died.
They were a seemingly perfect couple, and the pursuit of perfection led them to revolution—and the road to destruction at the same time.
In the end, the two neighbors were still ordinary, but they hugged each other.
Finally, the husband of the landlord with a mad son turned off his hearing aids while his wife kept talking, but they were already graying out.
These are what the director wants to tell us: marriage is never perfect.
———————————————————— After
watching the film, the biggest feeling is that there are no extra things in the play. No matter the characters, plots or dialogues, they are all in their own place and are very full. .
And the color of the movie background in 1955 is very intoxicating, especially when I see a large group of office workers wearing old-fashioned suits and round hats walking by the old-fashioned train when Mr. Wheeler got off the train on his way to work. Elegant, I was particularly impressed.
Finally, there are the quarrel pieces. Although "Talk" is always useless, as said in another film review, it is the explosive power of these episodes that turns the ten-year reunion of the two leading actors into a "eyes and brows, all leaks". 's acting feast.
