pursue those so-called loves

The narrative style of the eight beautiful pictures is very similar to that of Rashomon and the Twelve Citizens, but it is still very different from them. The uniqueness of this film's narrative is that it allows the audience to construct their own narrative through the stories told by the eight women. Piece together, tell the story clearly. What this movie shows is that, in most cases, we are living in "lies", many of which are interspersed with good intentions and bad intentions. The power of this lie brings us an invisible pressure to build the world by ourselves. We want to break free, but find we are powerless, and want to tear it apart, but find that the end after tearing it will only be worse, then we What should we do? The film does not give an answer. I think we all understand the answer, but if we don’t want to admit it, we can only continue to live in this so-called lie. After all, life still has to go on, maybe this is the reality. Finally, the sentence that reality is cruel has a deeper meaning. On the surface, the film is to compete for his own equity, but in fact, a more direct statement is to get what he thinks is true love. No one defines true love, what form of existence it is, everyone is fighting reality in the way they think is right, and pursuing the ideal form of love in their hearts, but in the end, they find that even if they get it in form, it is also a kind of love. Unbreakable pain. After thinking about this clearly, I suddenly found that the concept of right and wrong in our lives has always been cultivated, and the moral concept is no longer so adaptable when facing the right and wrong in this matter. Jumping out of the crude oil values, you will feel that there is no clear right and wrong in life, just that everyone can give their own inner reason in the world constructed by themselves.
