In the film, he went back to his girlfriend's home - Paris to get the cat back. Jack has been in a bad mood since he left the airport. He is afraid of terrorist attacks and never takes public transportation. He is nervous... those Parisian streets, taxi drivers who love to chat, music festivals, weird subway men, hateful Fast food, robbery, gatherings of friends, Parisian street market... Only Parisians can photograph this kind of feeling of looking back at Paris after taking a break from it.
I believe that people who like and dislike this film should be polarized. If you love it, you will slap the palm of your hand on its dialogue; if you don't love it, after reading it, you will only feel that you are farting.
I happen to be the group of people I love, and I love the dialogue of the police; the feeling of couples walking on the street; Marion's OS text is also very good! Especially the part, "We were supposed to be kissing lovers in Venice, but Jack took 42 photos on Gondola..." I laughed! Don't forget, Marion is a photographer himself .
And Jack seems to have seen a different side of Marion; scolding the taxi driver, scolding his ex-boyfriend in the restaurant... Paris, who speaks French, is more and more attacked by Jack's migraine. He was equally incomprehensible about the bold subject of Parisians' sexuality, including Marion's friends and her parents. Because of such a girlfriend, he suddenly felt very strange.
Jack's character, in this play, is funny, funny, super funny. But behind the fun, I know that people are uneasy and hesitant in unfamiliar environments; in those two days, he could only rely on his girlfriend – Marion. However, he also saw something different, or he hadn't noticed, that Marion had this side too.
There is a passage about whether they can be friends after a breakup: Jack is determined not to be a lover, let alone a friend, but Marion is that as long as the breakup scene is done well, he can be a friend after the breakup. The views and perspectives of men and women have never been the same. In my opinion, since it was good enough to be together in the first place, it would be considered a breakup. Of course, what you admire will not change, and those attractive advantages still remain. It's just that you're no longer a couple.
Of all the scenes in the movie, I just love him trying to look up the dictionary to find out how Matheiu sent Marion an sms. Looking at his increasingly uneasy expression, have you actually been like it: doubt, and then prove it? I know it's wrong, but I can't suppress this thought. I just want to know what their relationship is...
But deeper, I see a couple with cultural differences; other people and things, and the difference suddenly became apparent. Even though Jack & Marion are both Westerners, there is already such a big difference; what's more, the combination of our Eastern and Westerners? When it comes to falling in love with a foreigner, even if the first one is attracted by appearance or temperament, but after getting along, all the details of life, attitude, and way of doing things may reveal differences. Even in the play, Marion and Jack are deeply together in Marion's house, they are not simply together, it will definitely affect the families of both parties. I always thought that foreigners actually have a different relationship with family. There is no Chinese "marriage is related to two families". It turns out that the world is originally a great harmony.
Just like what Marion said at the end of the play: Whether the result is a breakup or a reunion, it is a difficult run-in. And who doesn't want to be in love all the time, sweet until old.
