The husband and wife in the play are like this. The captain's parents both play the guitar well, the hotel administrators both have good voices, and they both have nosebleeds or cold-blooded pairings. As long as you are not cold-blooded, there is no need to be together. The two protagonists are both short-sighted until the other person is blind and suddenly finds that they have nothing in common, so the male protagonist starts to find common ground and asks her if she can speak German, she says no. Ask her if she likes to eat berries, no. Ask her if she can play the piano, and she doesn't either. Well, can't find the common ground... what to do. Yes, blind yourself. Both are blind and have something in common. Is this a satire on the current view of love? Is the current concept of love is to find someone who is similar to you?
But there are two exceptions here. one. A couple of hotel administrators, one of them shot their lover who was 1 point short of a perfect score in order to survive. two. The family on the boat already knew that the husband no longer had nosebleeds, but their family was surprisingly unanimous, and decided not to break this balance, and they would continue to live as a family. What does the director want to illustrate with these two examples? It is said that love is false, and it is broken in the face of difficulties. Or can long-term relationships no longer need common ground? I don't understand...
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
This film should really be made by the Chinese. China's current Internet culture is full of words like "single dog". The real society in China is also full of words such as "leftover women" and "forced marriage".
All people have an anxiety about being single. They are all afraid of being single, and they are still unmarried at the age of 27 or 28. Both men and women start to feel anxious. The society is anxious for them, the family is anxious, and they are anxious too.
In the 45 days in the film, if you can't find an object, you will become an animal. In today's life, it seems that a woman in her 30s and a man in her 40s still can't find a match. After the time for matching is exceeded, they will become excluded from society and treated as an alien.
Now Chinese society cannot tolerate single people, and it is not normal to not get married.
In fact, what this film shows is really in line with the current Chinese national conditions.
