The Chinese translation of the movie analyzed today is called Love Three Choices One, but if the original English movie name is used literally, it is called Definitely Maybe, which is definitely possible. I still prefer the second name, he is more representative of the connotation revealed by the film.

The first is our male protagonist, Will Hayes, tall, handsome, positive, with the great goal of becoming the President of the United States, and the noble character of loyalty to love. Like all beginners in love, pure and persistent.

More importantly, he has a beautiful and charming girlfriend, Emily. The two love each other so much that they are like glue. The development of the story is that the main man goes to the big city of New York to develop for two months, leaving the beautiful girlfriend behind. My hometown and my roommate lived together. The roommate gave the male protagonist a vaccination in advance and told him that I would be rude to your girlfriend when you left. As a result, the male protagonist turned a deaf ear and went there resolutely, laying the groundwork for the betrayal in the future.

When I came to New York, the liveliness and hustle and bustle of a big city is naturally incomparable to a small city. Even cigarettes are expensive. A lot of male protagonists have gradually found their place through their own struggles. Two months will come soon, and he is ready to immediately To propose to his girlfriend Emily, everything went so smoothly, but suddenly her girlfriend raided New York and told the male protagonist that he had sex with his roommate. After speaking, he felt relieved. The boyfriend who was still reciting the marriage proposal lines was shocked and speechless.

At that moment, I could feel Emily's refreshment and relief after she revealed her derailment, and I could also feel the pain and helplessness of the male protagonist. Of course, this is love, blood is added to the tip of the knife, betrayal and failure are often sudden, there is no way to explain, and no explanation is needed.

This woman Emily has no way to say whether she is a scumbag or a green tea bitch. Such accusations are not objective, and frankly speaking, betrayals are all foreshadowed. When the male protagonist called his girlfriend Emily after drinking too much, the girlfriend expressed her emptiness and loneliness, but the male protagonist made a statement. Just be patient, it will be fine soon. Maybe the male protagonist didn't expect that your girlfriend can't bear it for two months, and after coming here, it's not an apology and forgiveness, but, I cheated, let's break up. directly dumped. People who did nothing wrong, ended up getting all the damage. I can only attribute it to the fact that men are being treated badly. Of course, this is from the perspective of the male protagonist. It may be a long time for a young and beautiful Emily. So this kind of thing can't be right or wrong, it can only be said that it is suitable or not. Obviously Emily is not suitable.

As for the male protagonist's injury this time, my comment is that it is unavoidable, this is a cost that must be paid on the road of love, the male protagonist has done nothing wrong, and there is no need to blame himself.

In this movie, all the people who appeared did not explain the family background, it can only be said that the family background was deliberately ignored. It's like the experiments of physics and the principles of economics. Establishing some models and ignoring some factors will not affect the correct conclusions. The family factor is ignored in this movie, so the model that appears in this movie can only go to the love stage, which is a love model. Not a marriage model. Because no matter in any country, at least in China, the family factor is one of the factors that cannot be ignored in marriage, but the proportion is different in different countries.

In view of the above factors, men only have two major relationships in this movie, love and career. Family relationships are not mentioned here because they are not mentioned in the movie. Therefore, the male protagonist who is frustrated in love and proud in the workplace does not lose too badly, five to five.

Emily came to an end first, of course, two women appeared in the process, Summer and April, the other two women in the three choices of love.

Let's talk about this Ai Bo first. Anyone who has watched the film knows that the two succeeded in holding hands at the end. When this Ai Bo first appeared, she was still a little girl from a printing company. She liked smoking and had no ideals. When she first met the male lead, she was in a period of emotional emptiness. When she saw the male lead who graduated from a famous university, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she seduced and struck up a conversation. However, at that time, the male protagonist had a heart, and through talking with the female protagonist, he found that the two were not on the same level at all, with different views and social status, and there was nothing to talk about. Really two people are not from the same world, there is really nothing to talk about.

Later, the only intersection between the two was the male protagonist's colleague gathering. The male protagonist drank too much. The male protagonist has been in New York for a long time. He is as lonely as his girlfriend. The two met by chance in the store, and then they got together in a strange way. In the end, something indescribable almost happened at the heroine's house, but fortunately, in the end, the hero had the determination to withdraw at the critical moment, but his then girlfriend Emily was in her hometown. But there is no such good concentration, in the end it is still indescribable. So, don't blame the environment, the final decision is personal cultivation.

In fact, at this stage, Ai Po and the male protagonist have no chance at all, because the male protagonist is flying in the sky, and Ai Po is crawling on the ground. The two are not at the same level at all, and they are destined to have no way of falling in love. The story of the two men came to an end.
The next woman to appear is Summer. During the empty window period when the male protagonist is proud of his love and disappointment in the workplace, he meets Summer who is frustrated in both the love and workplace. When the two met for the first time, the male protagonist was still stunned. Summer, who was a mistress to his mentor, took the initiative to kiss the male protagonist when he parted. To be honest, if Emily is a kitten who can't stand emptiness and loneliness, then Summer is an ambitious tiger. One is too weak and the other is too strong, taking two extremes, and it is not suitable for male protagonists.

Especially when the heroine said at the first meeting: You have never tried to sleep with a 60-year-old person, then you are not qualified to comment on me. This sentence seems reasonable, but it is actually bastard logic. If you have a woman talking to you like this in your relationship, trust me and leave her immediately because you two are not from the same world.

Summer was dumped by his mentor, but the mentor introduced Summer to the male protagonist's boss very interestingly, and Summer wrote an article that responded well. Since then, Summer began to use the male protagonist's career resources to rise step by step. The relationship between the two is also known to you, and it began to heat up, and the material was hot.

Our male protagonist once again felt that he had met true love, and prepared a ring to propose marriage. Unfortunately, it was reversed later. Under the instruction of Summer's mentor, Summer deeply excavated the black material of the male protagonist's boss, exposed the bottom of the male protagonist's boss in order to gain the upper hand, and directly caused the male protagonist's love career to collapse across the board. The poor male protagonist was betrayed again, but unlike the last time, this betrayal directly destroyed all the social relations of the male protagonist. The sequelae are also far-reaching, and have been making the male protagonist depressed for several years.

In fact, from the current point of view, Summer's behavior is also destined. In order to pass his thesis and give himself a better promotion channel, he can sleep with his 60-year-old tutor, and of course he can abandon the so-called for his future career. In the eyes of a type of woman like Summer, interests outweigh emotions. When two people's interests are compatible, they are naturally like glue, but once their interests contradict, she is the fastest to turn their face.

In fact, this matter is also a normal state of life, and it is also normal for a career to be betrayed and Waterloo, but what makes it difficult for the male protagonist to accept is that the one who betrays him is the woman he loves and wants to live his whole life. The loss of emotions and interests of colleagues and the loss of love and unemployment are unbearable for most people.

The male protagonist has been crawling for a few years in a low state. At this time, Ai Bo appeared in the male protagonist's life again. When Ai Bo fell in love with the male protagonist before, the male protagonist was about to propose to Shamo. Ai Bo was disappointed. People have been out of touch for a long time. The male protagonist who is now at a low point and Ai Po are relatively matched. The male protagonist also expressed his admiration to Ai Po after drinking too much, but Ai Po is still sober and pointed out directly: Why don’t you say love when you are good? I, you are in a mess right now. In fact, the subtext is that I am just a placebo for your downturn. The words are not rough, and that's what they say. When you can't do it, don't crave for love, because when you do, you won't look down on this love. And most people dislike the poor and love the rich. There are countless people around you when you can, and no one pays attention to you when you can't. It has been the norm since ancient times. Ai Bo can now find a bunch of men who are on the same level as you. Why do you want to find you, not to mention that you have deeply hurt others.

It hurts to say it. After being accused, the male protagonist also began to retort, spending Ai Bo: You don't seek to be motivated, you live all day long, what qualifications do you have to say about me. After finishing speaking, Ai Bo was angry and ignored her and left. You have no high value at all now, and you are suppressing others, and it is strange that they care about you.

The male protagonist regretted what he said, so he went to apologize all day long, and went to find Jane Eyre left by the female protagonist's father. Finally, he found it and returned it to his family. He found that he was living with his new boyfriend, and he was disheartened. Leaving is a strong setback. The girl I didn't like before actually didn't choose me to be bullied by another pig's head. The deep setback made the male protagonist run away without a fight.

When he was suspicious of life at a roadside barbecue stall, the male protagonist met his former love, Shamo. Shamo invited the male protagonist to her own queue for a get-together, and met Emily at the party. When I saw this episode, I deeply felt that this was an intentional arrangement, and the male protagonist was very excited to see Emily. The two went out for a walk. Emily said that she was very confused since she broke up with the male protagonist. Of course, if you are confused, can you not be confused? People who betray their feelings will eventually betray not others, but their own, so confusion will always be with him. The confusion mentioned by the male protagonist is confusion on another level. In fact, a large part of it has nothing to do with feelings, but confusion about the future of his career. These two confused people are together.

Seeing this, I can't help but complain. It's really good. I forgot the pain. Isn't it enough to be sentenced once? Of course, I'm not saying that this woman is unforgivable. Of course she can be forgiven. It's okay to be friends. . This also laid the groundwork for the male protagonist's later marriage change. Although the film did not specifically explain why the two people were in a mess, it was inseparable from the original betrayal and the woman's temperament.

Later, the matter expanded from memory to reality. The male protagonist signed the signature, divorced, and took out the Jane Eyre of Ai Bo’s father that he found at the beginning and sent it to Ai Bo, specifically because he might not know it himself, why did he have to I only gave it after the divorce. I guess I have my own thoughts. I want to continue the relationship. After all, my career is not good now, and I can't continue to fight for my Li Xiang. I work for an advertising company every day, and I am divorced. It is estimated that I will not know better women, but Ai Bo is a good choice.

As a result, when I arrived at the place, I found that he is now a well-known painter, and his career is booming. It is also because of the male protagonist who satirized others in the past. As a result, the male protagonist is still stupid and sweet, and he will not lie after he sends the book. Say one thing, and directly say that the book has been here for a long time and has not been given to her, Ai Bo must be angry and tell the male protagonist to get out.

Later, under the instigation of his daughter, the male protagonist directly found Ai Bo late at night and forced a wave of confession. In fact, I felt that there was no confession at all. Ai Bo still likes the male protagonist in his bones, because although he has a career now, the relationship is not related to career. It also needs to be managed, and as people grow up in society, they tend to find a familiar person to be with, and finally a happy end.
After telling the complex, I actually feel that this story is not as happy as we seem on the surface. On the surface, it is a comedy love story, but it cannot hide the dark nature of society.

From this, as a love mentor, I have summed up a few points for everyone.

1. The needs of love are constantly changing, and are based on win-win cooperation, emotional fetters, and bundling of interests. Problems in every link will lead to the breakdown of love.

2. Don't give others a second chance to hurt you, don't forget the pain when the scar is healed.

3. If a man has no strength, there will be no love. True feelings are evenly matched.

4. There can be problems in career, and problems in marriage, but don't let both problems go wrong at the same time, it will break you.

5. Finding a daughter-in-law is a deep knowledge that needs to be learned.
