Possessive or love?

To be honest, the first reaction to watching the entire film is actually the director. Do you really think that you have seriously considered it when you are casting? ? ?

After all, no matter what, when I finally see a Ben who is more like a violent possessive Mike than my Uncle Colin appear, it's really impossible not to play. Maybe everyone is a playboy. Anyway, after watching it for a long time, there is no sense of disobedience, it may be numbness orz

In any case, Uncle Colin's performance in the whole film is still remarkable, and he really played a "beast in clothes". As for Nicole, when I wake up every morning, I always feel like I'm replaying a scene... It's obvious that the heroine should remember something a little bit. Why does it feel like those eyes are the same every day? Some go through the motions. But according to the setting of the heroine, the memory only exists for 24 hours, and the memory of retrograde amnesia will be reversed every day after waking up, and the part of the heroine who wakes up every day is a very important existence that connects the whole story. what. In particular, the heroine's disease is still getting better, shouldn't this scene be more important? But aside from waking up every morning, the two of them are in different positions on the bed, I... really don't know the difference. Nicole may need to practice eye expression.

Matthew played a doctor who also played a very important part. In terms of promoting the development of the plot, this role is in place, but it is obvious that the heroine directly acquiesces that the doctor is a good person almost every day. Now the problem is if the plot is changed. , the doctor is Mike? Is it possible to better hide the sky and cross the sea?

The plot of this drama can only be said that the gimmicks in the first half are too much, so that the follow-up plot can't set off, can't keep up, and it seems bland. It's very obvious that the story goes high and low. After reading the first half, I almost grasped the basic content. When I watched the second half, I felt that it was true. There was no tension in the first half, and even the hair stood on end when I was excited. Feel. But overall it's ok, the foreshadowing is in place, and the whole film has no logical problems, which is quite good.

The heroine, it can be said that it is very pitiful. I feel that no one really cares about her. Otherwise, could she be kidnapped by Mike so easily? In fact, Mike was right in the last paragraph. If they really care about her, How could he be able to take her away with just a few fake documents. In the end, the ending was designed to be very warm, but I really don't know if it was her husband's conscience discovery, or the beginning of another round of abandonment?

Mike's words have always felt that this person is very contradictory. He is deeply in love with the heroine, and at the same time is full of powerful possessiveness. He couldn't bear the heroine leaving him for a while, couldn't bear the slightest concealment from the heroine. He was willing to put so much effort into buying a house in the outskirts and falsify all kinds of evidence that they had lived together in order to get the heroine who could only remember him for one day and re-introduce and comfort him every day. It can't be said that he doesn't love him; but when the heroine wanted to leave him, he became very manic again, and committed domestic violence like a demon, trying to warn the heroine, restrain the heroine, and make me feel that he The heroine is just possessive. In fact, the most real character of the whole film should be this character. We all know that there are many such men in this world. Although I cannot know the psychology behind them, I think they must be complicated. Maybe just machismo? Perhaps fear of losing again? Maybe it's just that they don't know how to solve problems, how to love?

Either way, I hope they can understand that love is tenderness, not violence. Although there are many problems in the world, people often like to solve them in a twisted way. If one fails, they will try again until the other party is exhausted physically and mentally, and until they are completely lost. But love needs wings, not chains.
