The film was very rhythmic at the beginning. One character brought out another character. While jokes and big stars continued to appear, it showed the unclear relationship between the nine characters in the film. After that, the film mainly tells the following three stories.
------------------------------------------- Spoiler
Ginnifer Goodwin VS Justin
The story of Long should be considered the top priority in the film. The title He's Just Not That Into You refers specifically to this story. And Ginnifer can be said to be the real heroine of the movie. Her character is a woman who is struggling to find love and waiting for love, and who is constantly frustrated but never gives up. She is a little neurotic and too sensitive, and will analyze the other party's inadvertent words into multiple layers of meaning, just like we usually say "too much". I think most people have a deep understanding of this role. In the stage before each love affair, each other's words and deeds are recorded by us. If there is a slight possibility of ambiguity in it, then It will be remembered and revisited by myself countless times. This is probably the sensitivity of people who are only in pursuit of love. So it's not just limited to women.
In the end, Justin, who was already numb to the relationship between men and women, didn't even know that he fell in love with Ginnifer, and it was Ginnifer who discovered it first. And when he realized that love was coming, the sane "love master" was immediately beaten back to its original shape, and his IQ plummeted, just like what he said to Ginnifer at the end: "I became you."
And the most romantic and certainly the most disgusting line in the whole film is also from Justin, he said to Ginnifer, You're my exception.
Scarlett Johansson VS Bradley Cooper VS Jennifer Connelly
I'm one of countless people who have fallen in love with the alluring and sexy Scarlett since Lost in Translation. And more and more people hate her, because she has always played the role of a big-chested slut since "Lost in Translation". When I saw her being coquettish and sexy again in this movie, what I want to say is...if I really meet such a person, I have absolutely no confidence in myself.
Scarlett actually fell in love with Bradley before he knew he was married. She is also a woman who is too romantic and believes in love, and dives in, thinking that Bradley will divorce her for her. The sexy Scarlett also used all her powers to "seduce" in the film. I believe the producers want to use her to attract male audiences... Bradley, who looks good, has become the most "jerk" character in the show, cheating his wife At the same time, it is difficult to hook up with women outside. Although the movie defended him, it was caused by an impulsive and wrong marriage, but he was the one who made promises easily at first, and he was also the one who deceived people at the end.
Women like Jennifer Connelly are everywhere. Knowing that her husband is cheating, but because of weakness and the so-called "love", she would rather carry her mistakes and tears on herself, and work hard to remedy the relationship between the two. A friend of mine was too deep in a relationship and was still reluctant to cut the relationship after he found out that his boyfriend was sleeping with someone else, because he was "very honest" and "actively" told her, so he insisted on drinking and crying every night. Continue the relationship. But Jennifer Connelly's bottom line is not low, that is, she can't "deceive". So when she finally found Bradley's cigarette case, she couldn't take it anymore.
So women, there are many good men, why should you feel wronged for such a clumsy man? Not worth it! Just like Jennifer Connelly, calmly pack all Bradley's clothes at the end and leave a note saying "I'm getting a divorce." The story of
Jennifer Aniston VS Ben Affleck is
much weaker than the other two. This story, combined with Scarlett's story, roughly discusses the meaning of "marriage". Jennifer and Ben have been together for 7 years, but Ben is still reluctant to get married. So Jennifer left him. Then, after experiencing his sister's wedding and taking care of his seriously ill father, he found that the proof could not explain anything, as long as the two loved each other and were loyal to each other, it was enough. So they are together again... Seeing this, I can't help but think, is it possible that the screenwriter or the original author is someone who doesn't believe in marriage? Because the only marriage in the film fell apart, and then the story of Jennifer and Ben proves that marriage is optional. But at the end of the movie, it was very conventional with Ben's proposal, and the happy ending of the two got married.
But at the moment, marriage is no longer about commitment and shackles, and it is more like the cherry on top of the chocolate love cake that makes their love sweeter.
-------------------------------------------- Spoiler for the
director of this film I have to take care of the simultaneous progression of the three stories, so I keep switching between the three stories. Because the first two stories mentioned above are very dramatic, and the story of Jennifer and Ben is too weak, so every time Jennifer Aniston is mentioned, it feels very boring and unfocused, as if to increase her role Deliberately added plot. Drew Barrymore himself is one of the producers, so there are only a few scenes left for the grievances and the whole, but fortunately it plays a role in promoting the development of the plot and making jokes.
The film finally returns to the theme of the pursuit of love. Everyone must have enough confidence and hope to wait for the person who truly belongs to them. Even if they fail on the way, they must have the courage to start again, because there will always be such a person. waiting for you.
With such a positive theme, even if the storytelling is out of rhythm, there are some innocuous jokes, and the film is too long, this film is still a good romantic light comedy for female audiences. Enough jokes and so many big stars. Watching with a few companions can also gossip with each other. It would be a good choice to spend those two hours at the cinema with friends or lovers on Valentine's Day.
PS: The three songs that appear in the movie at the end are very good.
The first is Somewhere Only We Know by KEANE. I don't know the name of the latter one. The last one is the ending song, which is also the one in the trailer.
