desperate love

If you watch this one after watching the Spanish apartment again, you will probably feel that it is not as funny and exciting as the Spanish apartment. But after thinking about it, I feel that the theme seems to be more profound. If the Spanish apartment is about a young couple's friendship worth remembering, then the Russian doll is about a person's bitter and hopeless love. I'm afraid this is not just what the protagonist encounters, but also has universal significance for modern people.
Which of the two girls do you want? One is like-minded and friendship comes first; the other is so beautiful, if you are with her, men all over the world will envy you. So the man is tossing between the two women, and we can't blame him for his morals, because it happens everywhere around us or in ourselves. Even if he chooses one in the end, the premise of his choice is that the other one gives up on him. In the end, it seems like a happy scene. I don't know, what shadow is hidden behind it. The world is changing so fast and there are so many choices. What can you believe in love? Perhaps if the director continues to shoot the sequel, it is likely to be the story of a divorced man.

    Maybe love itself is a desperate struggle against impermanent fate

Russian Dolls quotes

  • Xavier: Not to be too insistent... this really isn't for my girlfriend.

    Kassia: It's no biggie. Who cares?

    Xavier: I don't have a girlfriend. It's for my ex. It's her birthday. I'll give you my number.

    Kassia: For...?

    Xavier: I don't know. If the dress doesn't fit you can call me. No. I don't know. I've always dreamed of doing that but I never dared. With you, I thought I should dare. Take it, 'cause I feel like a jerk. I'll jot it down. But you have to call tonight or you never will. There.

    Kassia: I don't know.

    Xavier: Yes, yes! You've got nothing to lose. If I were you I'd call me.

  • Martine: Morning! Thank you. I'm happy I stayed with you.

    Xavier: Yeah, but you can't stay. I'm expecting a girl... friend.

    Martine: It's no big deal. Just tell her the truth. We're old friends and we didn't fuck.

    Xavier: Yeah, sure.

    Martine: She's your girlfriend?

    Xavier: Uh... yeah.

    Martine: You have a girlfriend?

    Xavier: No, not really.

    Martine: Is she your girlfriend or not?

    Xavier: I don't have a girlfriend, I have girlfriends.

    Martine: Do you have a girlfriend or not?

    Xavier: I don't have one. I have lots. Is that clear?

    Martine: Oh! I forgot how you were. Flip out on your own time. I'm outta here.

    Xavier: Well, yeah. She's on her way. It'll be a mess. I have a life. Last night you didn't give me a chance to explain that I had to juggle things this morning.

    Xavier: Bye. I'm sorry. I was afraid you'd run into her.

    Martine: I understand.

    Xavier: [opens the door so Martine can leave and Kassia is on the other side] Fuck!

    Kassia: Who is she?

    Xavier: No one.

    Martine: I'm no one. I'm no one? You have your life, I have mine. No problem! But you'll always be someone to me. Always! In anyone's presence.
