Eyes are the source of desire

This is not a movie review, just an afterthought


5 points is a little too small, this film should be fine with 6.5 points.

The development of the story is still relatively clear. The heroine suffered an eye injury when she was a child, and the eye is the most important organ in the sensory world. (Sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste, if you were only allowed to keep one, which would you keep?) In other words, the heroine doesn't know much about the world at all. She grew up in this situation and got married.

In the end, the couple worked together to heal the eyes. What does this represent? The values ​​representing the heroine need to be revised. Because she has to know more about the world through her eyes, these things will inevitably change the original values.

What is the result? Naturally, the original choices (including the male protagonist) may become more and more incompatible. She went on a trip once, and the two most obvious moves when she came back were moving and throwing away her old clothes. Thought she had thought that these things were no longer suitable for her.

This movie can be described in one sentence: the eyes are the source of desire.

Husband James, in order to keep his beloved wife, did not hesitate to change eye drops, because he found that the more things his wife saw, the less and less he would be able to keep him. The wife found out that the potion had been stolen halfway, and then continued to treat the eyes with the correct potion, but her husband James did not know.

And his wife, just as James thought, after seeing more of the world, she loves him less and less and loves herself more and more. Later, she also cheated and got pregnant in one hit. Because the couple's efforts to have children have been unsuccessful, she told her husband. It's just that the husband just found out that he is infertile.

The two of them live with their own little secrets. Until the end, both of them understood that there was absolutely no room for redemption in this relationship. One came up with crooked tricks to keep his wife, and the other fell in love with such a rich world even more and was unwilling to turn back.

In fact, the story is okay, but I personally feel that there are two problems. One suspense part is easier to guess (such as the husband changing the potion). On the other hand, the director deliberately made it feel psychedelic.

This is not as good as "Gone Lover", that film clearly and firmly lets you know the pain of marriage
