The original name of the movie is Labor Day, which is generally called Love Holiday in China, but I prefer the translated name of the Taiwan version. From the main line of the story, it seems that we can call it a typical example of "Stockholm Syndrome", but when you are involved in the process, you don't just think it's a simple thing, it should be two people to be precise About the resonance of love. Kate no longer needs to rely on anything to prove her acting skills. The film also maintains the level of the reader in terms of performance, but the depth of the story is much worse than that of the reader. The director made good use of the interlude. Two people who have been abandoned by love tell the story, on a comfortable night, choose this movie, accompanied by soothing music, to feel the true meaning of love

    Is it a pity for people who say that this film talks about Stockholm Syndrome to learn a word without dragging it? The director has repeatedly used various shots to imply that the motivation for the relationship between the characters comes from lust, but aside the jibber jabber such as physical hunger and thirst, this is basically the warmth and healing of two people with scars, and there is a richer emotional undercurrent behind them. Love and kindness are planted when a man repairs the car, wipes the floor and waxes, cleans the sink, and irons the pie.

    This may be the most bizarre film about Stockholm Syndrome I've ever seen. From the beginning of the scene where the male protagonist appeared, there were all kinds of blunt lines and the actors were not in harmony; the whole story was warm, with various rhythms. Want to learn "The Reader" to express the eternity of love but made into an American thriller, this story tells us: women should never expect to find security in others!

Labor Day quotes

  • Henry: I don't think losing my father broke my mother's heart, but rather losing love itself.

  • [first lines]

    Adult Henry: It was just the two of us after my father left. She said I should count the baby he had with his new wife Marjorie as part of my family too. Plus Richard, Marjorie's son. For the most part my mother never mentioned my father, or the woman he was married to now.
