The director shot three versions of him, her, and them ingeniously, interpreting the same story from different perspectives. The order I watch is he-she-them.
The story of "his" is relatively simple, and the tone is relatively dark. It can be basically summarized as: the first day my wife left, I missed her; the second day my wife left, I missed her; the third day my wife left, I missed her She misses her... On the nth day after my wife left, my family couldn't live anymore, and the small restaurant she opened was not doing well. I'd better go back to my rich dad to stay for a few days to heal my wound...N+1 when my wife left. God, I can't take it anymore, I'm going to follow her, oh, I'm disgusted... On the N+2 day my wife left, my wife took the initiative to chat with me, so happy, but I got mad at her again... My wife left N+N days, I seem to have dreamed that my wife secretly came to sleep with me. Is it true that you pinch me... Well, my wife has gone abroad and will never come back. My small restaurant has officially closed down, or Go home and inherit my dad's big restaurant, sorry.
The story of "her" is relatively delicate, and because the heroine El wants to start a new life, the tone is also brighter. It is completely different from the male protagonist Connor who frowns and thinks of his wife all day long. In order to forget the pain of losing her child as soon as possible, she returns to her rich father's house, goes back to a well-known university to start her studies again, and gets to know a very intellectual and individualistic person. A female professor, she tried her best to look forward, but she was always thinking of her husband and kept recalling the stories of the two of them. In the end, she chose to go abroad and say goodbye to her past memories.
"He" is a question, and "she" is an answer. After reading "he", many people must have a question mark on their forehead, and they think the heroine El is very creative, but after reading "her", all her actions are explained , although I still think that these two people are really capable...their lives are relatively shallow and lonely, but the common clips are very interesting, especially the director deliberately set up clever differences in different versions, It reflects the different personalities and moods of the two very well.
And "they" re-edited the clips shared by the two people, which I personally think is of little significance. And, isn't it really interesting to see from two different perspectives? There is no need to force "what actually happened".
Finally, let's talk about the ending of the movie. The ending of "he" and "she" is really wonderful. In "He", Connor still did not get out of the sadness of El leaving him. He was all gray, walking alone and frustrated on the street in the beginning of the lantern, but the camera gave him a vague shadow in the distance behind him. until he turned the corner.
In "She", El, who came back from school, became intellectual and refined again. He followed Connor, who was walking alone on the street, a hundred meters away. When he was about to turn the corner and disappear into the dim lights, he smiled:
" Hey!"
