I read a book before that told us how to watch a movie - from the story structure, from the lead and supporting roles, from the cameraman's point of view, from the director's point of view, from the film's background point of view, from the music point of view, and so on. Some books also point out that to appreciate a film, it should be appreciated in terms of subject matter and theme, play structure analysis, performance style, photography, sound, editing, and creative background. I am a non-professional film critic writer, sometimes a little lazy, a thousand layers of waves are aroused in my heart, and I have never worked hard in my writing. What I want to write down is just some trivial understanding.
Like "BJ's Diary of a Single" and "Love Actually", the movie "Lovesickness" belongs to my favorite style. There are several details in this movie, which is my favorite. The psychologist made an analogy - using farting as a metaphor for the stage of a relationship, this episode almost didn't make me laugh to death, it seemed vulgar, but it was telling the truth. ——the stages of a relationship can be defined by farting. Stages 1 is the conspiracy of silence, this is a fantasy period where both parties pretend that they have no bodily waste. This illusion is very quickly shattered by that first shy 'ooh did you fart?' follower by the sheepish admission of truth. This heralds a period of deeper intimacy. A Period I like to call the fart honeymoon where both parties find each other's gas juts the cutest thing in the world. But of course no honeymoon can last forever. Either the fart loses its power to amuse and embarrass, thereby signifying true love or else, it begins to annoy and disgust. Thereby symbolizing all that is blocked and rancid in the formerly beloved.
The last paragraph of the movie, the sentence is very beautiful, what is true love, true love is - Maybe true love is a decision. A decision to take a chance with somebody, to give to somebody, without worrying whether they'll give anything back, or if they gonna hurt you, or if they really are the one, maybe love isn't something that happens to you, maybe it's something you have to choose.
True love is a process not an event. More than just results.
