accept imperfection

I think it's great, even though I'm half-dazed after watching this movie. Just as discussed in the comments after reading it. The setting of who and what state can leave there in the end is not clear, so it is not clear what effect the fake male protagonist wants to achieve. I only know that it is also important to accept the imperfections of the other party, and blind idealism is not necessarily good. I always agree with how much happiness I have enjoyed, so how much sadness I have to bear afterwards. Vice versa, there is sadness because there is sweetness. The idea of wanting to be together even if it's not perfect. . . Well, in fact, there are still some things that don't make sense. I have to admit that this film is not too clear to understand. But that doesn't stop me from getting high marks.

[first lines]
Ethan: [retelling] So, we met at a party, and... it was magic. Within a half-hour we were driving up into this really nice neighborhood, and we were running down the stairs of some strangers back yard, and then we were swimming, and we were in love. What we didn't count on was that even though the lights were off, the owner of the home was there. And he came out screaming at us, and it was the greatest night of my life.
Ethan: Ready?
Ethan, Sophie: [they run and jump into the pool]
Ethan: [continuing his story] So me idea was, you know, let's try and re-create that moment.
