Diet Men and Women: Everyday Love

It should be said that the "diet" part of the film refers to family affection, while "men and women" are naturally marriage and love. In the film, the combination of Zhu Dad (Lang Xiong) and Jin Rong (Zhang Aijia), in addition to creating a lot of comedy in conjunction with Gui Yalei's Hunan dialect, really lacks sufficient foreshadowing and rationality. However, the marriage and love of the three daughters of the Zhu family vividly express the daily love, which is what I admire the most about the film.

Everyday love is worldly. It is about one's own selfishness, so it is not noble. The third daughter, Jia Ning (Wang Yuwen), is a shrewd little woman. come over. But this is not mean, it was that girlfriend's smart play-and-play that gave Jia Ning an opportunity, and there was no right or wrong in the competition of love.

The mundane daily state is not something that can be easily surpassed. Like air, it can be unperceived, but it must exist. The second daughter, Jia Qian (Wu Qianlian), is the most independent and modern among the three daughters. She has both beauty and intelligence, a career that calls for wind and rain, and a lover who has a harmonious relationship. However, when she was emotionally confused and at a loss, she hoped that the closest man could give her a strong support, but she was extremely disappointed. Seeing her stand up expressionlessly and leave that despicable man quickly, I can understand the profound self-subversion: Do you think that you have everything, now it is clearly out of humiliation; do you think that you can surpass the daily routine, at this moment , Has the original sense of superiority disappeared? — what a pain it was, and even more painful to have to swallow all the pain in order to preserve the last bit of self-respect. - Come back, go back to normal.

The love of the eldest daughter Jiazhen (Yang Guimei) is a tragicomedy that makes people laugh and cry. She lives in a lie she wove herself, using a love that never existed as a reason for her heartbreak. Like all old girls, she is stubborn, reserved, sensitive, and can't make jokes. The old love puts on the air of being in the sea, but when love comes, she is as excited as water, as helpless, as flustered and stupid as any woman in love. . All of this makes all the women who have been foolish and suffered in love look at them and feel like laughing, and when they look at them, they feel like crying.

Everyday love is not as pure and flawless as pearls, not meeting a pair of warm eyes in a crowded crowd, not keeping the person who is leaving just before the plane takes off, not shouting like no one else in the torrential rain. with "I love you".

Our love is more like a lively and clumsy soap opera, intertwined with the most mundane pleasures and pains, and it is staged by us who think we are smart.

No one can escape the curse of love's mental retardation, I am so sure of this.

    When he was young, he liked the eclectic Wong Kar-wai, who thought he was a genius; while Ang Lee was like a good student in the class, neat but boring. Looking at it again in a few years, I blush for my ignorance. Especially "Diet Men and Women", it made me fall into the ground, I wonder, can it be better?
