The rules of the game are 5 o'clock to 7 o'clock. Within this rule, there is a pair of 33-year-old French women who seem to have no sense of CP and a 24-year-old unfamous American writer. This is probably the most relaxed type of film, based on the tolerance of French culture, 5:00 to 7:00 is extra-marital free time. Since the culture doesn't condemn it and doesn't hurt anyone, it seems like a "time-limited" relationship that can last for a long time. Of course not. As long as it is a relationship, there are always ups and downs. Either it tends to be flat, or it becomes intense. Like a parabola, it reaches a high value and then falls back. American culture believes that it is against morality. After several struggles, the writer "swipes with all his strength and goes crazy to the end", and even spends all his winning dollars to buy an engagement ring. French culture is open and tolerant, and many families maintain such a "limited time" relationship, as do the couples in the film, but the French woman finally returned the ring and stayed in the family. The story borrows the writer's mother for the screenwriter's position:
I think there are two forces on earth that you can never fight against, one is the power of motherhood, and the other is love, and it's a terrible situation, but she really loves our son. "5 To 7"
This story is not like some other films of the same theme, which are widely criticized for their three views, not only because of its beautiful narrative style and lighthearted and humorous cultural collision, but also because some audiences see the true feelings of the two in the story. . True love as a premise, without any conditions attached, is a powerful weapon against gossip. It is not easy for people to believe the emotional authenticity of the lace news they hear, but it is easy to believe the authenticity of the forbidden love seen in the movie, on the one hand because it does not touch their own interests, on the other hand, because the behavior of the characters they see is better than what they hear. to the language spread reliably. This is why many people like Liming and Maggie Cheung's "Sweet Honey", but forget that it is also about betrayal. Betrayal is no longer the melon with the highest flop rate in the entertainment industry, but also the melon of the everyday people. Some experts believe that this is an inevitable product of the development of social civilization to a certain extent. In order to make such a social phenomenon transition smoothly, some works of art are needed. Come to help, the movie is like this, the poetry is like this. Interestingly, in the prosperous Tang Dynasty when Chinese culture was at its peak, there was a well-known poem:
Festival woman singing
Tang Zhang Ji
You know that your concubine has a husband, and you give your concubine a pair of pearls.
Feeling the lingering meaning of you, it is tied to the red Luo Ru.
The concubine's high-rise building is connected to the garden, and the beloved holds the halberd in the bright light.
Zhijun's heart is like the sun and the moon, and his husband swears to live and die.
Huanjun Mingzhu is in tears, wishing to meet when she was not married.
An American film, a poem of the Tang Dynasty, but in the same way, shows the reasonable end of all such relationships.
