This secretly translated name is straightforward enough without any messy hints, I like it. I like to use details to let you experience the theme of the film, I hate to pile up thoughtful details everywhere, but I don't know the so-called film.
When I just watched this film, I knew that I resonated strongly with it, but I didn't know what it wanted to tell me. I needed an explanation, clues to put all the scattered details into a solvable picture.
The way the four people love each other explains the direction of the whole story.
Dan is a naive romantic, a coward who lives in vain love.
This can be seen from everything, he fell in love with Alice at first sight; Alice said that what he wrote about her was only “partly true”; he couldn’t stand the sex before anna and her husband larry broke up; he tried to save it; he couldn’t accept Alice and Larry's night; he tried to redeem... From the first lover to the poor clown, we gave him lower and lower ratings, and that's why Alice realized that he didn't love him at that moment.
He is the main thread that strung the other three protagonists in the film. What he did has led to the lives of others. Unfortunately, he is just a childish idiot, making everyone follow him into a ugly drama. If he is, I think he is a twin.
The opposite of Dan is Larry. He is an adult, a sensible realist, the smartest, pursuing truth, and he can see through the other three protagonists at a glance. After learning that his wife had an affair, he said this sentence: "You left me because you don't think you deserve happiness." At that time, he felt that this line was very inexplicable, but he understood it after watching the second time, because he was at the end. Tell Dan that Anna has depression, and people with depression need to keep feeling guilty and unhappy; he knows Dan's weakness (too idealistic about love), so he can easily separate Dan from his wife and ex-girlfriend; he is in The strip club forced Alice to tell the truth, because he knew the two sides of Alice, even if it was just sex, he asked the other party to be truthful to him. Only this time, Jane, who he thought was a disguise, was the real Alice.
Others said that his reunion with Anna is barely a marriage is a reality, a trick is pitiful and shameful, I don't think that person understands. If he is, Larry must be Scorpio, only Scorpio can love this way, he knows his lover, he tolerates her, he takes care of her, and he owns her.
Anna can simply say. "She doesn't want to be happy, only in this way can they continue to be depressed." She likes Dan, but chooses Larry to make herself depressed; when she gets rid of her ex-husband, she cannot live "happy forever" because she can't bear it. Kind of happiness. Larry is so smart. Anna is indeed very beautiful and noble, but all I saw was a beautiful puppet.
Alice is the child who cannot be blamed in this scandal. She has the face of an angel, she just loves Dan from the beginning to the end, and leaves if she doesn't love it, so pure. But in fact she is just Jane, a stripper. She loves Dan because she is Alice with him. She and Dan are a natural pair, one who creates illusions and falls in love with illusions; one who enjoys the illusion and falls in love with the illusion for himself. But the self in the illusion is too thin after all. In Dan's eyes, she just loves him, just a little girl, just cute, so he is not satisfied, so he cheated. If it weren't for Dan, Larry could easily find the real Alice, and he couldn't stand his partner not opening up. But Dan was a fool and a child, he didn't even know, so this beautiful dream continued.
I remember when Alice and Larry talked at the film festival in a completely different manner, the real look, she said, "Art is a lie, this is a group of sad strangers, the photographer captures their beautiful moments, and those bastards who appreciate art Say it's beautiful because it's what they want to see. But the people in the photo are actually sad and lonely." She knew she was living in a lie, but it was beautiful. When Dan forced her to admit that she had sex with Larry, she said she didn't love Dan anymore. Because this lie had to be shattered. Dan saw her as a stripper. She couldn't lie in love, but she couldn't tell the truth in this lie. She can only see the collapse of the illusion sadly, saying, I don’t love you anymore... I have no choice...
Regarding the real name and false name, I don’t understand that he told Larry his real name but he couldn’t tell the beloved Dan. . That's because Larry's self is real, and Dan is just an illusion. She knows this well, so when the illusion is destroyed, it is so irretrievable.
The mood of the protagonist has been changing after the film, why sometimes you think he/she is a hero, sometimes a coward, sometimes full of charm, sometimes like a clown. I found that the person who has the initiative in love gets everything. He/she not only gets the love of the protagonist of the story, but also the love of the audience, and vice versa. Although I hate love conspiracy theories, and I believe that if you love you, you will be desperate, but in the game of love, it is always whoever moves first and loses first.
I thought that true love was each other, and we grew old with my son. But why is the lover's heart so easy to be stolen? After loving someone stubbornly for many years, I believe that love itself is a momentary thing, coming and going fast. If one only listens to the inner voice, it is tantamount to a savage, indulgent and blind. A person who advocates freedom and love can continue to chase his lover. He is a believer in love, but he is only a low-level player. A high-level player chooses to persist and makes desire become a more permanent thing. I don’t think that is family affection. That is probably a kind of love that knows and cherishes each other. Only Larry can do it, he is the love I am looking for.
