Compared with the intricate so-called love in the film, the friendship between Zu and Zhan or the friendship between the three of them together with Catherine moved me more. Those are the good times in life.
A woman like Catherine who lives her life with a straightforward self and madness is destined to be a disaster for the men around her. Therefore, she is the happiness of Zu and Zhan's life and the source of their misfortune. As Catherine drove the car to the end of the broken bridge, I was reminded of Kurt Cobain's words: It's better to burn with ease than to survive.
Zu said: Catherine, you always remind me of a Chinese stage play I once watched. At the opening, the emperor said to the audience, you are seeing the most unhappy people in the world, because I have two wives, a big one and a little one.
We are unhappy people because we have too many desires and greed, and the world gives us too many choices.
