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.

Russian Dolls quotes

  • William: This is known as the street of "ideal proportions." It's 25 meters high, 25 meters wide, and 250 meters long. Personally, I don't see what's so ideal about it. The Russians are obsessed with the - they're obsessed with things being ideal, you know?

    Natacha: It's not true.

    William: Yes, it is darling. Well, it's not a bad thing. I mean, you know, English people, we've got some bad habits as well. I mean do you remember - Wendy, do you remember your boyfriend, the American one? What was his name? Bruce.

    Wendy: Yes.

    William: Right, well, I was talking to him one day, and he said to me, "Problem with you English guys is, you're always saying 'I'm sorry.' All the time, you're saying 'I'm sorry about this, I'm sorry about that.'" And you know what? It's actually true. We do say "I'm sorry" too much. What can I say? We're sorry. I said to him, "I'm sorry about that. I apologize. But that's it, you know? Nobody's perfect."

  • Wendy: I know you're not always perfect. I know you have tons of problems, defects, imperfections... but who doesn't? It's just that I prefer your problems. I'm in love with your imperfections. Your imperfections are just great!

    Wendy: I know most girls they get weak on their knees for what's beautiful, you know, that's all they see, that's all they want. But I'm not like that. I don't just see what's beautiful. I fall for the other stuff. I love what's not perfect. It's just how I am.
