We are all invisible

In the MV of "King of Songs", Eason Chan was squeezed around while singing, and finally had to squat in the corner, and the feeling of loneliness only increased. In fact, the loneliness of a person is not terrible, it can even be enjoyed. At the beginning, Harvey played the piano alone in a room with no lights on, and he also had an indifferent expression. But the loneliness in the hustle and bustle is not the same. The surrounding people are full of voices and cups are intertwined, and you are out of place and out of the way. At this time, Gu Ying's self-pity is somewhat sad. However, what happened to Harvey and Kate is even more tragic, because the noise around them is not someone else's daughter's wedding or someone else's blind date party, but mine.
Harvey Airport bluntly rejected Kate's questionnaire, and at the wedding, he was indifferent and aggressive, and on the plane and in restaurants, he used the method of chatting up to express his anger. I don't agree with the stalker character when you want it, and it does raise my questions about how someone whose verbal charisma can be charismatic loses his wife and daughter, and then drifts away.
In contrast, the character of Kate is much more real. She represents the status quo of most leftover women. They are conservative and autistic, have a serious sense of self-protection, and are wary of unknown people. When broken, the backlog of feelings is a torrent. This kind of emotional struggle to want to care, but to be afraid of hurt, to be afraid, but still to want, is too broad.
The love behind is a bit vulgar. It's just that the love we usually see is the last-minute passive party who discovered the preciousness of love and finally took the initiative to save the lover who was about to leave. But this love has always been Harvey's initiative, and when he finally received a call from the boss, Harvey looked like he was suddenly enlightened. Both the probationer and the comprehension were made to him, which made it a little difficult to understand.
It's a decent romance movie, but every time Dustin Hoffman watches Emma Thompson, he has to look up desperately, which is really awkward.

  • Kate Walker: I had a lovely time, Harvey, and I like you - I really do. But you know, I don't really do fountains at noon either. I mean, I live in - Well, I live in Wilton Greens, and you live wherever you...

    Harvey Shine: I live in White Plains.

    Kate Walker: Exactly. And Monday morning, life kicks in, and we're not teenagers. Got a life and our jobs and our family and everything, and I had a lovely time. I won't forget it. Thank you. But...

    Harvey Shine: What?

    Kate Walker: Well, it's not, you know, real life.

    Harvey Shine: It is.

    Kate Walker: No, it isn't, Harvey.

    Harvey Shine: It is.

    Kate Walker: No, it's not, Harvey.

    Harvey Shine: No, it is real life. It's real life for me.

    Kate Walker: No, no. I know. I know. But it's not just about you, is it? It's about me, as well. You don't know anything about me. Look at me. I mean, it's pathetic. I actually expected you not to show. In fact, I think I actually almost wanted you not to show because it's just sort of easier that way. You know, you just dive in there. You just whoosh anywhere. It's the deep end and I'm not a bloody swimming pool, Harvey, and I'm not - I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it because it'll hurt. Sometime or other there'll be, you know, it's not working, or I need my space, or whatever it is and it will end, and it will hurt, and I won't do it. I won't do it, and I won't...
