A test of true and false self and love relationships

As time goes by, do you still remember the young, unruly, brave and reckless self, whether after experiencing all kinds of things, will you be willing to subtly make some unwilling changes... ..Looking back, those who have faced each other in a love relationship and were evenly matched will also evolve different appearances due to the washing of the years.
The real Ethan sits silently on the bed at the end of the film, holding the myopia glasses he has worn for years. After a short pause, he replies to Sophie who is making bacon for him with a sigh and compromise and says, "Okay, I'll come right away. "At this time, the true and false Sophie has become confusing. I believe that most people will think that this Sophie is false at first when they see it. I did too. The male protagonist's pause, his doubts are fully revealed, the real Sophie is not. Will let him eat bacon because she doesn't like it. But what we ignore is whether Ethan, after returning from the guess house, playing and laughing in bed, is also a little different from the old-fashioned, serious, middle-aged man who never played cards, maybe we It can be understood that it is precisely because of the magical experiences in the guess house that they have learned to change themselves. Ethan has become the perfect husband in Sophie's mind, and Sophie has also become able to make her husband be late and like bacon. A good wife who knows tolerance and further dedication.
There are those bugs in the plot and everyone's discussion of the true and false Sophie at the end. I don't want to discuss any more. Just as every reader has a Hamlet in his heart, I think every movie viewer has his own opinion about this movie. The only thing I want me to repeat is the four completely different personalities and lives reflected in this short film of less than 2 hours.
As for the former Sophie, the real Sophie, I would say that this woman is extremely immature, which can be seen in many places. Although she forgave her husband's infidelity on the surface, she still resents in her heart, more because she is the most naive type of person who pursues perfection and has no tainted feelings. Such a person can be called a mental cleanliness. But in some respects, this type of person is also the most selfish type of person. They only care about whether the life outside of themselves is as clean as before, but they don't check whether they are clean or not. When she was exposed, I wondered why she hated men in the first place. In the Lord's trial, but not examining it is because you have cheated on yourself first. Her proposal to go back to that place and her constant pursuit of excitement in her own marriage shows that she is an immature marriage bearer.
In my opinion, not only marriage, but also family, friendship, and love cannot be perfect. The perfection in the eyes of others is only superficial perfection. Under this kind of perfection, there are many atonements after betrayal, forgiveness after injury, and disappointment. Perseverance and a trace of confidence in despair are not understandable to those who are vulnerable in marriage. It is not that they cannot have a perfect and complete marriage, but they are incapable and have no blessings.
As for the fake heroine who stayed in the house at the end, it can be said that she is really smart, mature, and rational. She knows how to behave properly, be generous, and how to make two people feel comfortable in a relationship. She also knows how to find out that the real Sophie is fast Make an appropriate response when falling in love with fake Ethan, but unfortunately, love is always a woman's biggest weakness, as she said, "I'd rather stay here with him forever than watch him go out with other women." She also had to stay in that house with the fake Ethan she loved until the next couple arrived.
Two Ethans, one mature, prudent, and meticulous, the other witty, humorous and energetic, know how to please women just like when they were young. Perhaps, the latter is the former's past, which is why the innocent and immature wife, the real Sophie, will be caught by this fake. The reason why Ethan was attracted was the same as when the two fell in love when they first met. Two people who can be together for a long time must be the right person, determined by the fit of the soul and the maturity of the character.
Only when we truly become mature and responsible, when we learn to love, learn to be tolerant, and learn to protect each other with our kindness, will we get out of this guess house and go to a real world of our own.
