This is a psychological film about the love between men and women in modern cities. I think a score of 6 is a bit too low for the value of the content reflected in the film. Personally, I think it can reach at least 8. In order to reconcile the score, my score is 5. Every scene, every line, and every piece of music in this movie is enough for people to study it carefully. I can't help but say that it is indeed a sincere work. Readers need to be reminded: First, this article may be very long, if you really want to read it, you also hope to read it when you have plenty of time. Second, my film review will reveal many details of the film. If you really want to enjoy the film well, I hope you don’t read this film review first, watch the film first, and then read the film review, so that you can not be influenced by any thinking. Appreciate it well and form your own understanding. Well, without further ado, let's start my journey of appreciation and taste of the film. 1. The painting at the beginning The movie is a blurry shot at the beginning, accompanied by some depressing and suspenseful music, the camera shakes slightly from side to side. The picture turns clear, and what I see is an isolated island: the gloomy sky is used as the background color; the center of the island is a low stone mountain, and there are several trees on both sides for decoration, and those trees seem to add to the feeling of loneliness; The water is quiet. The camera shakes slightly from left to right, as if a person's drowsy mood is the same as the male protagonist's awakening process: it starts to blur, then becomes clear, it turns out to be a new day, and it turns out to be a loneliness again. Then the sound of seagulls turned into an alarm. The male protagonist stretched, yawned, and got up. Only then did we realize that it was just a painting on the wall. If we taste it carefully, we will sigh: it is only a few seconds, and the film uses a series of techniques of good music contrast, image expression, and artistic suggestion to complete the construction of the tone of the film. There is a question here, since it is a painting, why close up and match the call of the sea bird? This is an artistic expression technique, in order to let the audience feel that although the male protagonist's heart is peaceful, he is also extremely lonely. Especially the left and right swing of the lens is amazing. 2. The background of the story The male protagonist got up, ate some oatmeal and foamed milk (more oatmeal, less milk) before starting to wash. The male protagonist wiped his hair and started brushing his teeth. Close up of coins on the table given on the way out. These coins may have been used by him to get on the bus. The male protagonist wears a crumpled shirt, a headset, sits on a bus, and wears an inconspicuous backpack to work. The music carries the rush of work. No one paid attention to him along the way, he didn't communicate with anyone, eyes There is God, but also dull. We also saw that the passengers on the bus did not communicate, and they all passed the time or waited alone in their own way. He came to work and began to change his work clothes. This is when the sound of the music begins to intensify, depressing, sad, or cold. Clearly this is a rendering that deliberately emphasizes what to do. When watching, it will make people concentrate all of a sudden, even the pores are erect, but do not know what will happen below. After changing it, the clothes are noticeably neater. He pushed the cart to start his day's work. One by one cages, the dogs in the cages are displayed in front of the audience. It turned out to be a center for raising dogs. These cages and dogs are close-ups so to speak. At the same time, the barking of the dog is in rhythm with the music. There are no colleagues, only him, only he warmly greets, greets, and feeds every dog. It is conceivable that he was the first person to come to work in this unit. This is how the film is. Through a series of detailed explanations, it makes people realize that this is the life of a diaosi. Please note that the film only took 2 minutes to explain the back of the story, the male protagonist's living condition and psychological needs. If we think beyond the prejudiced thinking of contempt, how many of the current urban office workers do not have such a work rhythm and life rhythm? In the expression of the whole film, the tones are basically melancholy dark tones, only the male protagonist thinks that there is a shot in the sun to get love; the music of the whole film, no matter what it is, there is always a background music. An accompanying soft melancholy sound. 3. The dog-loving male protagonist Lexie warmly greets and greets each dog, and diligently feeds and waters the dogs. He is not saying hello, greeting, and feeding and watering. Instead, feed and water after saying hello. It is obvious that he is a person who likes small animals. He enjoys caring for these small animals in cages. After filling out food and drinking water for a group of dogs outside, the male protagonist went inside to care for a dog named Lexie. The male protagonist unlocked the door of the cage, held it, stroked it, and played with it , it can be seen that it is the favorite of the male protagonist, and the male protagonist smiles brightly. It is not easy to be found inside, and the male protagonist can enjoy the happy time with Lexie. But then Lexie fell ill, and the center planned to euthanize her. Why is Lexie sick, what is the disease, and is the disease related to the male protagonist's physical contact? None of this was explained. Anyway, the male protagonist's dog was about to be killed. Before this incident, the male protagonist met the female protagonist and had a good conversation on the bus. arrive at night At home, the male protagonist began to search for information about the female protagonist on the Internet. The next day at work, he came a little late, and the male colleague was eating a hamburger, the equivalent of our pie. Why is he working later than when he started? Reminiscent of the fact that he searched the Internet for information about the heroine the night before. He asked his male colleague, the fat security guard, how to chase girls. Later, the female boss came to him and told him that the doctor needed his help to get rid of Lexie, let him euthanize, and if he didn't cooperate because of his feelings for the dog, he would be fired. He took the ropes and went to meet Lexie, muttering to himself all the way, thinking about the lines he said when he met Lexie: "Hi, Lexie, hi, gir, this is how it goes..." But when he did see Lexie In the West, he did not explain a word to it, but deceived it and comforted it. Before the euthanasia shot, he repeatedly said that it was a good dog and said goodbye. The doctor asked for his advice, and if you want to keep it, you can take it home. He said the building he lives in does not allow pets. The doctor said, let's live somewhere else. $9 an hour, he said? I'm glad there is running water where I live now. The doctor said, this is your problem, you don't have the initiative, that's why you are doing such a simple job at such an age. Whatever you want in life, go for it. Now how to do? I mean if you want to keep it, don't kill it. But the male protagonist looked at it, lowered his head, thought for a moment, and said: Let's do it. quick. He also comforted Lexie repeatedly during the euthanasia injection. The male protagonist sent Lexie's body into a furnace for cremation. He just watched his beloved dog die, cremated, and no more. Here, the story starts to get sticky. The male protagonist's life situation and the mentality of dealing with things are completely explained. The male protagonist is both warm and weak. He wants to fight for it, but it is easy to give up under pressure from the outside world. I have written so many words, but the film only lasted for 8 minutes, and it was explained clearly with only a story about the dog Lexie. Obviously, he is very depressed, and the fat colleagues and the doctor have told him that if he wants, he should go for it. Next, will he change? In the narrative, there are plots of interacting with the heroine, and the hero is interested in the heroine. Will he work hard to pursue the heroine? If the heroine gave him any hints, promises or the little sun in his heart during this period, would he still agree to kill Lexie? 4. Colleagues, bosses The fat colleague is a security guard. It stands to reason that he is a person with similar living conditions. However, when the male protagonist asked him how to chase girls, although he expressed his views, he also talked about the distance between them. The atmosphere of good communication with colleagues suddenly froze. The security guard is very fat. On the one hand, it may be due to the fact that his occupation is not very sports. On the other hand, it also paved the way for the killing of this person later. Why do you say that? Because when a person is dismembering a body, it may be easier to deal with a thin person, but if a fat person is dismembered, it will make the story especially tense. The security guard's tone seemed to be one level older than him. Why was the security guard so confident? Simply because the security has the power to manage access. Such little people who don't dare to offend easily are all too common in the workplace. They don't have much ability, but they are domineering simply because they are in a key place in the operation of the work. Such people often despise people who are similar to themselves because they have less knowledge, less reading, and more bullying. They will even deliberately bully others in order to gain psychological relaxation. Doctors are also colleagues, but why are they so thoughtful and kind? On the one hand, it is naturally because he has a lot of knowledge, sufficient ability, and good self-cultivation; on the other hand, it also reflects that his life is very stable, so he has a good mentality. The fat security guard spends the most time with the male lead. It stands to reason that they should have a good relationship with colleagues, but the fat colleagues still want to emphasize the sense of superiority psychologically, and deliberately emphasize the distance between them. The fat security guard said he didn't know him. On the one hand, people judged that the male protagonist was a new employee and the fat security guard was an old employee, which reminded people that the male protagonist's work was not stable. But on the other hand, the male protagonist has his own dog Lexie, which means that the male protagonist has been in for a while, and the security guard looks down on such a character and doesn't want to have a relationship or connection with him, so he ignores him. Bosses and doctors don't have many chances to show up. The face, demeanor, and dress of the boss are very plain. If someone who doesn't know the insider sees it, they will definitely think that this should be a woman who is easy to get along with. But every time the boss appeared, he made the request in a calm tone, as if he was intimidating the male protagonist, telling him to do his job well, accusing him of not doing well, and if he did not do well, he would be fired. I don't know how many companies have the same management thinking, but there is no doubt that the easier the job is, the more difficult the job is, the easier it is for the boss to be so harsh and ruthless, cold and silent. However, it is also understandable that in today's workplace, due to various factors and changes, everyone seems to be reluctant to be involved in any relationship other than work, and it is difficult to find true friends. Then, apart from the relationship, there is only the connection of work, and only the requirements and needs of the work. Work occupies a lot of time in one's life. It is conceivable that work has a great influence on human beings. The male protagonist is in such a social predicament, day after day. 5. The first time I met the heroine Holly, the embarrassed flirting girl took a bus one day, and the hero met the heroine Holly. According to the state of everyone in the film, I guess the time of the incident is either the off-duty time or the rest day. However, according to the work attributes of the male protagonist, the conjecture of the off-day was rejected, so it means that the male protagonist encounters one day after get off work. The heroine, the two destined enemies finally met in a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. The male protagonist took the initiative to say hello, saying that he and she were high school classmates, but only a year older than him. The hostess said, is it true? The male protagonist replied, of course, everyone knows you. The hostess said, I don't know about it. The hostess kept writing. The male protagonist asked, are you a writer now? The hostess replied: Yes, my waitress is dressed in disguise. The male protagonist said along the way, I almost ordered ice cream with chocolate at the end. The hostess said, you are not the first to think so. When the car arrived at the next stop, the hostess said it, getting off the bus and saying goodbye. The male protagonist also said goodbye, but at the last moment he said in a low voice hesitantly, if it's okay, can we have a cup of coffee together? Then the male protagonist showed regret and self-reproach, and it was obvious that the female protagonist had gone away without looking back. During the whole process, the male protagonist tried his best to make the conversation interesting and pleasant, and try his best to be graceful. The male protagonist compliments that everyone knows her. I personally understand that this is actually flirting, which means that the heroine is charming, so everyone knows her. But the heroine replied that she didn't know, and her face was a little cold. Obviously, the heroine did not catch a cold with this sentence. The male protagonist, following the female protagonist's words, almost ordered ice cream with chocolate at the end. It means that the heroine is so beautiful that anyone who sees her in this uniform will ask for ice cream with chocolate chips no matter where or what the situation is. Ice cream with chocolate chips is very interesting, on the one hand, chocolate is a symbol of love; on the other hand, ice cream with chocolate chips, imagine that white, sweet and icy feeling, like tasting a beauty? But the heroine replied indifferently: You are not the first to think so. It means, I see through you, don't talk about it, I've seen a lot of people chasing me like this. There is a problem here: the male protagonist is indeed flirting with girls, but he is really her superior High school classmates? The male protagonist is rather cowardly. If he is forced to strike up a conversation, when he is not prepared enough, he should not speak so fluently. However, if the male protagonist started paying attention to the female protagonist in high school, but the female protagonist didn't know it, it was also possible. The male protagonist searches the Internet for the female protagonist's information after returning home after dark, carefully reads the female protagonist's Twitter, and snorts in relief. It also cannot be judged whether the male protagonist first obtained the female protagonist's information, then struck up a conversation, and then came back to search for the female protagonist's information again, or whether he started to search for the female protagonist's information after encountering setbacks. Therefore, there is no basis for judgment as to what the past relationship between the male and female protagonists is here. Although it is a girl, but from the expression of the male protagonist, I did not see any psychological problems or deformities. However, we can also see that the male protagonist is very good at hiding himself, wrapping himself up, and dressing himself up. This corresponds to the many lies of the male protagonist in the back. When lying, he would act like the real thing, without a trace of trembling in tone, panic in attitude. Why is he like this? Some viewers will assume that the male protagonist is a scumbag or a pervert because of the movie posters beforehand, but from the expression of the movie when they first saw the plot, they cannot easily say that, because there is no basis. The heroine reacted as if she had experienced a lot, was a veteran in love, knew how to strike up a conversation and flirt well, knew everything, and no one could lie to her. Such a girl who looks pure and beautiful on the outside, what did she go through to become so indifferent and rational, and respond as if she was following a process and being familiar with it? The hostess kept writing. The male protagonist asked, are you a writer now? The hostess replied: Yes, my waitress is dressed in disguise. The male lead didn't mention anything about the waiter, but the female lead deliberately emphasized and explained it. Through the following episodes, we know that the heroine's Twitter is always showing the best side, like petty bourgeoisie life. The heroine always wears her hair every day, with a pure and intellectual look, she is more beautiful and more sophisticated than when she is a waiter. 6. The embarrassing second encounter One night, the male protagonist secretly opened a room in the dog center. The sound of the music deliberately hints at the difference in this room. Then, the film explained that the male protagonist used the Internet to search for the information of the female protagonist and recorded it. The film’s narrative doesn’t immediately reveal what’s different or weird about that room, it’s deliberately creating suspense. Then the male protagonist practiced his lines at home by himself, preparing to meet again. It is conceivable that the male protagonist must know a lot of information about the female protagonist through the Internet, so that he can confidently determine the encounter and prepare for it. But I didn't expect that when I met the hostess (restaurant waiter) in the restaurant again, the hostess's reaction was as if I had never seen him before. This makes the male protagonist very embarrassed, but, more importantly, it is the comparison between the two meetings before and after that makes the male protagonist curious, pay attention to her, and follow her to study her. Even if the male protagonist is curious about the female protagonist's reaction, should he follow her and study her? Obviously, the average person doesn't expend the time and effort to do that. So, is the male protagonist's mental state a little abnormal? Or is the male protagonist really a high school classmate of the female protagonist, who has missed each other for many years and finally has to get together, and already regards the female protagonist as a very important and close person in his life in his heart? There is no reliable clear answer to this question. The scene where the heroine was smoking outside the shop and spitting smoke when she got off work made people feel that she was living a very depressed life, spitting smoke, like a release of her soul. After getting home from get off work, he revealed the heroine's friend and the heroine's boyfriend for the first time. The girlfriend's friend was introduced with a few dialogues, and the heroine's boyfriend was introduced with a phone call. Like a little bit of water, I took it with a single stroke. What is worth recalling is that the heroine's friend and the heroine said the same lines before and after: Don't get to the bottom of things, it's boring to get to the bottom of things. But that doesn't seem to mean anything. Please note: In terms of narrative, the plot of the movie is coherent, and the scenes of the heroine getting off work and the family appearance of the heroine are connected through the trailing and tracking of the male protagonist. This kind of writing is very common in literary works. It is extended to one thing and one thing, and other contents are connected in series. Is the heroine regarded as a very important and close person in life? There is no reliable clear answer to this question.

7. The living status and emotional life of the heroine The hero bought a large bouquet of flowers for the heroine (maybe ordered at the flower shop, and then the florist sent it to the restaurant where the heroine worked), but did not sign it . After seeing it, the heroine was not surprised, but she was not completely indifferent, she sniffed, and that was it. The heroine then went to find her boyfriend who worked in the bar, and she thought he gave it to her. But this encounter did not let the heroine get what she wanted. His boyfriend still let her down. She came out, smoked, was left alone, and wanted to be quiet and quiet. At this time, the male protagonist appeared and told her the truth. The female protagonist began to get angry, and the male protagonist explained eagerly, and the two quarreled. (It is because of the quarrel that we know that what the male protagonist said is true, they are really high school classmates.) The female protagonist finally let the male protagonist be beaten. In fact, the heroine was not angry because of the pursuit and harassment of the hero, she just got angry when she learned that the truth was exactly the opposite of what she imagined. The man in her heart still treated her like that, but she had no way to vent, she did not The reason is to beat his boyfriend, so he makes the male protagonist a substitute.
8. The final ending (Because of my personal life, I am afraid I have to end this article in a hurry, and I apologize to the readers.) Because the experience of the heroine made her not believe in love and men, so she pursued the hero , the heroine is also a little scornful, she will be very contemptuous, very arrogant to look at it from the sky. "The male lead really loves me, so let's see how he behaves, just wait. Just experiment and see how he behaves. Just see how the show goes on." That's what the female lead thought. However, the male protagonist proves that he hurts himself, so that the female protagonist has the hope of trust in love, and has an ointment to ease the pain a little. In terms of psychological dependence and psychological comfort, the friend who stayed with her day and night, the good best friend she once killed, can finally leave and be replaced by the male protagonist. (Please note, according to my understanding, the heroine at this time is not a split personality, she just fantasizes that a friend has been with her all the time, how to accompany her, how to talk to her.) However, she still loves her deeply. The man who hurt him, she couldn't leave him, and hated him very much. Whenever the female protagonist wants to attack in her heart, she will think of the male protagonist. Go to see the male protagonist, to apply the ointment of the soul. However, it is clear that, whether for the male lead or the female lead, the psychological problem has not been resolved in the end.
