Others see ugliness, I see love in ugliness

Reviews of this film are cookie-cutter about the ugliness of human nature.

The movie is full of greed, betrayal, lies, promiscuity, ridiculous farce.
But that's what love is, it's all part of love. I love you, but I also love money, so to keep my money and make up lies will not make you sad. I love you, but I love him too, so making up lies won't make you sad. I love you, but ethics don't allow it, so making up lies won't make you sad. I love you, the director made a farce in order to let you see the reality clearly, so he made up a lie to not make you sad. A true person loves wholeheartedly, is passionate about love, and racks his brains for love. There's nothing wrong with that. If you like the perfect temperate rational intelligent lover, why not ask that scientist to make you a robot companion. At least I don't want to.
The world is full of love, is your love only on the good side?

    Augustine: Combs never sleep!
