Why comment on their love, because the whole movie talks about their relationship, and everything else is just a functional plot that promotes the development of the relationship.
Then it is necessary to put this relationship into the perspective of feminism. I think it's popular is the conclusion I got after observation: even in the vast universe as the background, the love based on the lonely heart of fragile human beings, it still can't escape the love of patriarchal imagination.
Criticism first, the movie romanticizes the male lead's control over the female lead, and finally makes the female lead forgive a man who killed her life and stay with him forever. (This is also the reason why many people say that there is a feeling of Stockholm syndrome. In fact, Stockholm syndrome is that the weak fall in love with the strong who control it. It is also the perfect imagination of love in the patriarchal culture.)
This is in line with the mate selection criteria of a man under the patriarchal culture. Choosing an obedient woman and choosing a woman who can control it is also in line with the image of a man and the concept of love in the patriarchal culture: no matter how unbearable a man is, he can always find someone who obeys him. Women; as long as there is a little ability, there will always be someone to love.
I think the drama is actually to show the unspeakable influence of love on people, but the film is only slightly more delicate in dealing with the influence of love on men. The influence on women only follows the routine of all heroes saving beauties in romance films. And improper climax setting:
As I said at the beginning, this movie is only for telling a love story. The plots except for the relationship between the two are all functional plots, and they all serve to promote the development of the relationship between the two. Therefore, I think that the action to save the spaceship is to whitewash the man, paving the way for the final heroine to accept him and return to his embrace.
However, this episode was set as the climax of the whole film. In addition, the heroine's mentality for forgiving the hero is just because the hero saved the spaceship, which can be said to be a one-off, too lazy. In fact, the heroine forgives a person who murdered her original life (even if the hero saves the spaceship, this result cannot be changed), and forgets the original betrayal, willing to soothe his soul, instead of staying with her forever, is the complexity of human nature. Where is the manifestation of love changing destiny, such a pale treatment makes the displayed effect immediately thinner.
In retrospect, this movie lasted two hours, so it was a waste of casts to shoot such a thing. The play has a pot. (The rubbish of the drama is also reflected in the communication between the two people, which still exudes a strong smell of "women are passive, men are active".)
However, this movie has an advantage in characterizing, that is, after the heroine finds that the hero has deceived herself, her perspective shifts to the heroine, and she begins to pay attention to the psychology of the female characters in the movie. The film level is richer. It just so happens that the heroine’s personality is an independent and strong type (but it must also be designed in this way, otherwise the heroine’s return to love will not be shocking (the movie is really nothing new)), then I don’t care why you woke me up It can be regarded as a resistance to the hegemony of the male lead, not a complete compromise, and there is no selflessness like the female lead in the classic romance film.
The movie did not show the patriarch’s imagination of love as naked as other movies. In some scenes (except for sex scenes) the body movements of the two are very simple and the distance is guaranteed. It reduces the sweetness and weakens the relationship between men and women. Because of the influence of gender norms, it shows the established sense of the role image of strong men and weak women, which makes the heroine more independent and gives me a moment of respite while watching the movie, so that I will not be completely disappointed.
