I'm not familiar with the director, but I can see that the film likes to use details to portray characters, such as the decoration of the male lead's room, when recruiting prostitutes, he asked to slowly undress and a gentleman sent the prostitute away, opened the door for the elderly, wiped the toilet with toilet paper,... …The meaning shown in the middle is not what I want to say, it has been interpreted enough by those who wrote film reviews. I mainly use my impression to talk about the details that attracted my special attention when the heroine and the heroine were together, in chronological order
1. The heroine appeared. The music played by the record player, repeating i want your love (this detail will not make sense until later, and there is also a pause when the male protagonist comes out of the bathroom) The
male protagonist takes his sister’s scarf and smells affectionately (that’s Here, I start to feel that the relationship between the brothers and sisters is a bit special) The
male lead showed sadness when he heard the sister next door begging for a man on the phone.
2. Go out in the morning. Breakfast for my sister, and the conversation between the two brothers and sisters about the hair on the clothes while waiting for the subway, this shows that the two people’s feelings are very warm (here is very interesting, because there is a very strong relationship with the male protagonist in front of the sister who never answered the phone. Conflict. In the back, there is a scene where the male protagonist took out simple food from the refrigerator for dinner, as a contrast, reflecting the warmth contained in the breakfast. If it is not for this reason, don’t you think this dinner is more than a prop. ?) Then there is the topic of retro hats, which will have important meanings later.
There is another place that caught my attention, that is, during breakfast, when the male lead avoids the female lead to go out first, the female lead's eye close-up that paused for several seconds. (But here can be understood as many meanings)
3. In the bar. I don't understand the meaning of that song. The detail I particularly care about here is the timing of the male mainstream tears. It happened to be the only time the heroine met him, and the heroine sang it's up to you. (While singing, this was the only time they looked at each other)
4. The hostess and her boss are affectionate. The uneasiness that the male lead showed at this time was not at all the kind of worry that his brother had for his sister. The most important scene is when the heroine climbs onto the hero's bed in the middle of the night, he gets angry. (Is it not obvious enough here?)
5. I bumped into the male lead in the bathroom. The male protagonist pressed on the sofa naked, yelling "what do you want?" (Don’t you think he kept asking this repeatedly? It’s a bit abrupt. I think this is a hint from the director. When the heroine first appeared, the background music played on the record player I want your love.)
6. The male lead and female colleagues opened the room. The atmosphere was good, but the male lead couldn't continue. (Seeing those who wrote film reviews in front of me, the interpretation made me laugh. What about the poor emotional lack of this man, the sense of security, BLABLABLA, etc., and that he can hire prostitutes but can’t do it with the black MM. It’s about Familiars and strangers or something, it’s so speechless. Because the female colleague’s retro clothes reminded him of the heroine. When he was in the subway, they had talked about her retro hat, so he couldn’t continue. Go down. As soon as the female colleague left, he immediately found a prostitute and did a lot of work. It was only because that female colleague reminded him of his sister, so he had to change to another woman. He is no stranger to strangers, familiar or not. Relationship. You know, he and his female colleague are just dating)
7. The male and female masters quarrel. This is the climax of the conflict, and the dialogue is also very interesting. Their questions and answers are not at the same point. The hostess asked, why are you so angry, and the hostess also said that it has nothing to do with his boss. The protagonist did not directly answer her "I always make you angry without knowing why", but always humiliated her with various questions from his boss. Looking at his own private life, he humiliated the hostess with moral concepts. (In my opinion, this is exactly how he repeatedly used moral concepts to suppress his true feelings for his sister.) In the dialogue, the hostess kept mentioning their sibling relationship, and the host always emphasized that she was persecuting him. You can run away. (The male protagonist is afraid to face her and his true feelings, and finally the female mainstream tears to ask him if he will never be able to contact him again, which leads to the destruction of the two people's choice)
8. The heroine committed suicide and was rescued. After the heroine woke up, the hero burst into tears in the rain. (Originally, after the death of the heroine, both of them could be freed. But now, they still have to face this tangled relationship, there is no way out, escape and depression)
The way of telling the story is wonderful, and the performance of the hero and heroine is impeccable. A very wonderful film, not much to say here.
Regarding the scar on the heroine’s wrist, and the heroine’s last phone message, we're not bad people, made me full of curiosity about their stories in the past. In the film, no clear clues are left to infer whether they have had any indecent experience in the past. And this is where the story is told brilliantly.
