Although repetitive titles will get boring after watching too many, but at first glance they feel that they are very close to the current advertising format. Maybe fashion is always reincarnated, and now it is gradually returning to the most original appearance; while a large narration in the opening Although it was a little silly to go up, it was cute and silly. At least when I heard that "it's still like this, it's never changed", people around me and I couldn't help but smile.
The story is easier to tell than any current movie: a man deeply influenced by traditional education, of good character and full of moral sense, sends his wife and children to the summer vacation as usual, and stays and continues to work. He has despised his side After all the bad behaviors of the man, he actually saw the girl who made him crazy in the stairwell of the apartment.
This girl is young, open, she looks a little scheming, and sometimes she is a little silly. The most important thing is that she has a good figure and looks like a big doll!
She is a match that was accidentally ignited and dropped on the firewood stack, instantly warming up all the long-sleep nerves of the hero. The hero who works as the editor-in-chief of cheap book publishing has an extraordinary heart in his heart. Imagination, perhaps because of this, he is completely competent for his work, but because he has received a good moral education, after marriage, he forcibly suppressed his imagination in life and put it all into his work, so his career has At the same time, he also strives to become a "steady and mature" person.
Although he just watched the girl leave, he had almost no body language, but lying on the rocking chair, he could no longer read the manuscript, and all he thought about was educating his wife not to test his own words. But in fact, is the wife calling at ten o'clock really for the purpose of testing? The wife he imagined in his mind, sitting on the reclining chair on the other side, with a disdainful smile on his face, said it all: you are a good person, you are just too imaginative.
This looks like a conversation between the male protagonist and his wife. They may have such conversations every day, or they have once, but after being teased once or twice, the male protagonist begins to refuse to talk about these things, or, in other words, this It's basically a dialogue between the hero's sober consciousness and inner desires: he understands what he is like, but this is too far from what he wants to be in his imagination.
At this time, the beautiful girl and the flower pot she accidentally pushed down shattered all peace and awakened the restless nerves in the hero's heart. After a brief conversation with her, he once again used his superhuman imagination to deduce himself and his What happened to the girl, how other people reacted to it, and even extended it to his wife on vacation and another man: if it happened to me, why didn't it happen to them again Woolen cloth?
This is a method of shirk responsibility that a person often has when he does bad things, but generally people who really want to do bad things should be relieved after thinking about it, but the male protagonist called in angrily to ask questions, which shows that he really cares. His marriage is far better than his upcoming affair.
Therefore, in the words of the girl, "you are a good person", everyone would think so, and there is not even a good person in this film who is not such a good person: the man who talks about talking nonsense with the woman walking the dog on the street, in fact, in the end Just helping the woman walk the dog, the publisher is very excited about the wife's vacation, the reason is just "these days can be free without sleep"...
The film borrows the book written by the doctor to explain "the seven-year itch" , saying that this is a common mental illness, but in fact when we watch a movie, we feel that it is just a dream of people longing for freedom and becoming another "me", a life that will hardly destroy life and others. Some dreams that violate morality but are always full of human brilliance.
However, to paraphrase Monroe's sentence "I understand, we all live in reality", this dream has the constraints of reality, and people have social roles, so the dream will always be just a dream, so that the sky in our hearts. People are fighting, but the surface is very calm.
In this way, the beauty of this movie lies in the truth of its topic: true, so moving; frank, so kind. Based on this truth and the ingenious ideas derived from it (including how to set the life and work relationship of the male protagonist, and how to make his character more reasonable), the whole story looks short, concise and full of interest.
Maybe what we need is never something that is too exaggerated or fantastic. We can imagine such a scene in our minds. What we long for is truth and true feelings, even if the set is of poor quality and the story is simple, but that " "True" can still make people moving and moving.
