Novelty beginning, vulgar end

The first half is ok, it's quite creative, and it's like a small fresh movie supported by the idea. But since the heroine was caught in a mental hospital, the plot took a turn for the worse.

The first is the highly controversial "female protagonist cheating on marriage". This setting is too fucked up. Suppose the male and female protagonists are around 30 years old, and they have no synaesthesia for nearly twenty years. Even if you move the timeline forward by 5 years and make a conventional "runaway bride", it is much easier to accept than the current one. Isn't this still "love appears after marriage"? And really, don't say anything about "the values ​​of the East and the West are different", how can cheating be regarded as "love" no matter how different it is? I really can't see what the reviews on IMDB say about it: But what to do with this—that was a serious problem for me as I watched. One problem is that Rebecca IS married and the scene of the pair mutually masturbating because they other can see and feel this disturbed me. Call me old fashioned, but it seemed like adultery—and that's something that makes it very hard to care about the couple. If she was having marital problems, why not talk them out with your husband? This is what I want to say too.

Second, the turning point of the story is when the heroine's husband puts the heroine in a mental hospital. As viewers, from the "God's perspective", we may feel "Wow, this man is really fucking", as if everything the male protagonist does is reasonable. But after slowing down, you will find that the screenwriter is the most SB. Why put the heroine in a mental hospital? Because the heroine talks to herself, acts weird, and goes crazy for no reason, so outsiders look like a schizophrenic? So, is there any problem with the husband putting his wife in hospital for treatment? So everyone, we can ask ourselves, what would we do if we were faced with this situation? As a normal person, one would either get a divorce after a big fight, or talk frankly and honestly about how to resolve it. No one would put the other party in a mental hospital and play prison games if they disagreed. So what if the husband is a super perverted control freak? The problem is that this is not reflected in the plot at all! no! Before that, probably the worst thing the husband did was to stop the heroine from pouring wine into his glass, and to throw away the things the heroine liked (and what was the significance of this thing to the heroine) A word is not mentioned), other than that, the relationship between the two is really no different from a couple who have been married for many years and have a dull life. Besides, I have always wondered, are mental hospitals in the United States so easy to get into? Without any identification procedures, just one sentence to be detained? So in a word, I have every reason to believe that this is because the director and the screenwriter opened the golden finger, which is nothing more than providing a reasonable excuse for the hero and heroine to run away in the end.

In the end, the elopement of two people is also full of loopholes. Who is the male lead? A probationer, who just stole a car, is being chased by the police; who is the heroine, a suspected mental patient, being chased by a hospital nurse (they will definitely choose to call the police later). It was winter and they had no money on them. Where are they going? Ask Harry Potter to use magic to make them disappear? These things are not important to the screenwriter, are they, "Romantic" is over anyway.

In short, this movie is very new in conception, still very small and fresh, and very literary. But the script is really bad, full of loopholes and blunt. The male and female starring skills are still relatively good, but unfortunately they are tired of the script. This is regrettable.
