Just like analyzing crime cases, every love case also has its own clues, which can be provided for others to make a cold report to state its essence.
For example, the four major players in the closer. Their love relationship seems to be tangled and complicated, and their practical and cold onlooker mentality is an inevitable result.
Dan, because he is a writer and an unwilling writer, as he himself said, he was born without talent, so he is a blind romanticist, his vision of the world is short and selective. He only seeks beauty, not truth, even if this beauty is pretentious and fake.
A romantic "Hello, Strager." was enough to capture his whole heart, so he began to consciously and spontaneously weave his own romantic story through Alice's beautiful body. He didn't even care if Alice in the story was true. Just as Alice said when watching the Anna film exhibition, art is just a moment when artists want to intercept life, they don’t care if it is the truth, and Alice in Dan’s new book is just a part of her, and the part that he deliberately missed That's exactly the truth.
Dan loves Alice, but what he loves is not the real Alice, but a beautiful heroine from his own lust. But the writer's romance always needs the nourishment of fresh blood, so he gradually fell in love with the next heroine-the hurt single photographer Anna.
In this film, the character Dan made me sympathize and despise me. Like a little boy with a man's body, innocent, romantic, kind and cowardly, he has no courage to accept any imperfections in love in life.
When faced with imperfections, the first reaction of the little boy in his body was always to refuse without hesitation, such as refusing to accept Anna’s last sex with her ex-husband, refusing to accept Alice’s sexual intercourse with Larry during the breakup, and waiting for the mature Dan to defeat afterwards. After this childishness, he would always come back to apologize, sadly, the situation is always irreversible.
Larry, because he is a doctor, he has the spirit of seeking truth from facts. He is not romantic, and even has some animalistic wildness and abusive tendencies. Of course, his charm index in front of women is not as high as that of romantic and handsome writers. But Larry's maturity, cunning and pragmatism make him bound to be the final winner. Of course, he is not bad. He calls himself a calm observer of the human carnival. It is not bad. He is just very sane. He knows what he wants and is capable of arranging strategies for it.
At the Anna Film Festival, Larry had two details that impressed me: 1. He said that Dan is not short. Before that, he had predicted his height based on Dan's profile picture, from the doctor's perspective of human science. So he said Dan's head was deceptive. But Dan is tall and thin, so if there is a fight, he is not his opponent. 2. He admits that the young and sexy Alice really fascinates him, but he prefers Anna, "You are a woman, she is a girl, she has the inferior beauty of a young girl, but she is cunning." When he said these words, Larry was very natural. It was just his instinctive quick analysis of the situation. The story had just begun, and the calm observer had already thoroughly grasped the essence of the insider.
Encountering the scene with Alice in Pub has strengthened Larry's spirit of seeking truth from facts. In that sensual place where no one cares about whether it is true or false, he still refuses to give up asking Alice to face him with his true face. The animal part of Larry's body loves Alice. He only wants to have sex with her, but the sex must be real. Larry's view of love cannot contain any imaginary components. If I were to be a writer Dan at this time, I am afraid I would have been drunk now, and actively cooperated to weave another moving story.
Anna, as the doctor Larry summed it up, is a mildly depressed patient. In this tangled four-person romance drama, no one seemed to care about the doctor's diagnosis. But it was precisely this medical term that gave Anna a thorough qualitative analysis of all the emotional experiences in her life. Her love is melancholic, and it must be melancholic.
"Patients with depression don't want to be happy, only then can they continue to be depressed."
Anna couldn't restrain her addiction to guilt, and love with a guilty feeling was her destiny model. Fall in love with the writer Dan who already has a wonderful love life, marry Larry while secretly in love with Dan, and continue to have an affair with Dan while he is a wife. Because he is forced to satisfy the sexual desire of Larry, who is about to become ex-husband, he consciously disappoints. Dan, because of Dan's first reaction to dislike and guilt to Larry, returned to Larry's side again. Then, she will continue to live a depressed life with hopeless love for Dan and guilt towards Larry.
All this is in Larry's arms. I believe that Larry loves Anna deeply, and has long understood Anna's weaknesses, but his prescription of the right medicine is somewhat unscrupulous.
I dare not say whether Larry and Anna will be happy in the future. Larry's jealousy and Anna's depression are probably not going to add any good colors to their lives, but who dares to say that other modes will definitely be happy?
Alice, although her real name is Jane, it is not true that Jane is acting in this exotic story. Alice is the only immaculate in this not-so-good four-person mashup love tangled drama.
Larry described her as beautiful and cunning. Her beauty is both a blessing and a curse. Her beauty makes it easy for her to get the one she loves, but it also causes men to take her and forget to understand her well. All beautiful girls are cunning, this is the survival skills they have to master in this world of good and bad.
All she saw in the eyes of all men was the sexy stunner Jane, but in Dan's eyes she saw an angel. She fell in love with the angelic Alice, so she fell in love with Dan.
Yes, she fell in love with Dan in the eyes of herself, and the romantic story that Dan weaved for herself, even though she knew that everything was against the truth. But the real world is full of sorrow, so what can I miss?
She had told Dan from the moment of meeting that she would not leave as long as she was still in love. So even if boredom and betrayal appeared in their fairy tales, she just disappeared sadly and did not leave. When her prince reappeared in a desperate manner, her love remained undiminished. This was an angel who was only for love, not for possession. The story she thought was perfect can finally be continued. Until Dan frantically sought the truth like Larry, and forced Alice to peel away her grief herself, her love suddenly disappeared. She could no longer see the pure and perfect Alice in Dan's eyes, only Jane was soaked in helplessness and sorrow, so she didn't love the man in front of her anymore.
There are thousands of patterns of love in the world. Sometimes love or dislove does not depend on whether the person in front of you is the best, but whether he or she fits your destined pattern.
