Some heavy movies, but meaningful.
At the beginning of the film, the story of Mona's father was used as an introduction, and it told the happiness of a family who sacrificed a part of themselves because of love, which seemed very touching. But the film does not follow this direction to tell a touching love story, but a more in-depth exploration of the relationship between love and sacrifice, which is very profound.
Mona was happy as a child, and shared math and running with her dad. However, when Dad fell ill, Dad closed himself up and sought some energy circles to cure his illness. Dad's actions cast a shadow over Mona's childhood. Mona's life began to be replaced by number symbols. When she was bored and afraid of being helpless, she always tapped on the table involuntarily, and unconsciously used number symbols to release her mood, even by observing Mr. Jones. number necklace to determine the mood of the day. So Mona is withdrawn, a person trapped in her own box. She even destroyed her hobby compulsively.
Moreover, the characters of the story have their own psychological circle, the energy circle of Mona's father, the number symbol circle of Mona, and Mr. Jones' number symbol circle, Lisa's circle, they are framed by this psychological circle, the box They live with what they have, so they are withdrawn, passive, and they don't feel happy.
Fortunately, they happened to help each other unconsciously and got out of this psychological cycle, except for Mona Dad. They began to look for the joy and meaning of life, as Mr. Jones said: "Besides numbers, there are many interesting things in life".
"Love doesn't mean sacrificing yourself, it's better to be whole than incomplete." Numbers are not everything, what matters is life.

    It's hard to get into it. Since this kind of drama in the inner world is not described in detail enough, how can you watch it!

    I feel that many problems have not been explained clearly. What is the connection between mathematics and the heroine's life? What happened to her father? What do the numbers you type out represent? and many more. It turned out to be based on a novel, maybe the novel explained it. The overall feeling is relatively warm, and Alba should really make more nutritious movies.
