Waiting has no end

The Chinese title is quite misleading. Before I watched it, I always thought it was a romantic and warm love comedy. After watching it, I realized that there is nothing happy about it. The film is about the waiting life. Life has an end, but waiting has no end.

The passengers waited for their flight, Emilia waited for a man's promise, and Victor waited to step into New York. The flight may be delayed, and promises to be delayed, but New York finally went. The film gave Victor a very sensational reason to go to New York, moved Emilia, but still couldn't keep her people. Regarding this relationship, the director behaved a little hastily and perfunctorily. The first time I met each other left a little impression, the second time I met Emilia suddenly offered an invitation to eat together, the third time I met for dinner, and a certain degree of tacit understanding was reached. The fourth time I met Emily Ya was moved by Victor, and the two people embraced each other sincerely. The fifth meeting Emilia told Victor that it was his destiny to wait for the man. The last meeting was a bit embarrassing, but the two sides calmly and restrained their goodbyes. From the inexplicable occurrence to the end without disease, they always feel that they are walking in a hurry. The director seemed to be trying to complete a task. After finally separating the two people, he said with a sigh of relief: finally he can enter the climax of the film.

The orgasm looks very enjoyable, but it feels fake. At this time, Victor was comparable to a big star. He was embraced by everyone, and the stars held the moon. It was in contrast with the betrayal of the airport security director Dixon. Dixon played the role of the villain in the film very aggrievedly. Although the film gave him a reason for opposing Victor, it was only out of brains and selfishness, and it was too simple and rude. For the confrontation between Victor and Dixon, especially the scene in which the Russians gave his father medicine and was detained, in Zhu Zhu's words, it was too the main theme. It is indeed the main theme. In order to let Victor go to New York with peace of mind, the Indian uncle did not hesitate to block the flight taking off at the risk of being sent home. It was very touching, but this was also the main theme of Hollywood.

The small clips in the film showing Victor being trapped in the airport are lively and interesting, but the others are a bit simple and clichéd. Although the main theme is not good-looking.
