love game theory

Very playful sadomasochism movie. There is a deep portrayal of people's desire for control in love.

The male protagonist has a need for feelings, but he is also addicted to making clothes. The heroine appeared to fill his emotional needs, but the heroine couldn't love him in the way he was used to, so she poisoned him and deliberately created his need for her. Wanting to prove her worth in front of him, not just a model being called around. She succeeded. When the male protagonist woke up, he said that he wrongly felt that his days were infinite. Should enjoy the rest of the day with her. So married her. But the nature is hard to change, and he is still focused on work. But on the one hand, he felt that marrying her was a wrong decision, and on the other hand, he felt that it should not be the case (he went to find her on New Year's Eve). So, the heroine poisoned him again. But this time, the male protagonist already knew about it and was happy with it. Because on the one hand, poisoning can help him get rid of his work mentally, on the other hand, it can also find a step for him who is unwilling to accept the softness (acting strong), and enjoy and immerse himself in the care of the heroine. Then there is the final outcome. (Every strong man is reluctant to show his vulnerable side. But in his heart, he hopes to be a little boy who can be taken care of occasionally)

This movie is also very particular about clothing, hairstyles, and room layouts. Viewers can also lead a brochure to showcase and introduce costumes that have been featured in the film. The soundtrack and graphic design are also great! Shooting on film, the graininess of the picture, which is deliberately made old and deliberately created, also makes the film very retro. The acting skills of the two leading actors are even more impressive!

A rare good movie of 2017.
