The perception of "Bitter Moon"

I haven't cried at a movie in a long time. (At this time, I think of my boyfriend's voice "You will cry when you look at a dog"). Well, I'm Mimi's type of person. Extreme, sensitive, stubborn, and vulnerable. After seeing Oscar's enthusiasm disappearing, Mimi first blamed herself for her appearance, and after that, Oscar proposed to break up, and Mimi went to keep it without dignity. In fact, most of it stems from Mimi's victim mentality. This is a very dangerous state of mind. People in this state often put themselves at a disadvantage. For example, when Oscar hits Mimi, Mimi wakes up and says I love you. She has defined herself in this relationship as a role of endless giving. It can be said that it is too naive. In domestic movies, generally such girls are silly and sweet. But in Polish films, this kind of unrealistic character setting should not exist. Because endless giving equals endless desire. Conflicts often coexist. "I love you, I am willing to dedicate everything to you, just please don't abandon me." However, such love is often despised. Anything that is too easy to get becomes cheap. So the ending is inevitable, and Mimi's victim psychology has reached its peak. The previous "forbearance for love" broke out because of Oscar's departure. Mimi has become an understatement when she talks about her nearly dying on the island. Because "I paid so much for you, but you abandoned me" is the most important thing. The motivation for her to survive may be to make Oscar's second half of his life difficult. However, she loves him so much, and her possessiveness is also an expression of extreme love. Oscar asks why he didn't just kill him, which in my opinion is also because Mimi loves him too much. Yes, she still loves him even if the roles are changed. Mimi never broke her fantasies about Oscar. Oscar, in her opinion, should still be the tiger she admires. The abuser is the same as the abused. The same is true for us in love, whoever loves more is humble. The balance of the scales is the most important, after the dull married life, the children are also the buttons to maintain the balance. For most of us, it is still very rare to develop to the point of Mimi and Oscar, and it is more that after Oscar gets off the plane, it is completely desperate. If you have a good attitude, you may accept a new love in a few months. If you are in a bad mood, you may be afraid of falling in love. However, most people are the former. Vigorous love, it is good to experience it when you are young. After several experiences, no matter what it is, it will become indifferent. Find someone who is a good match and marry, just like the English couple.
I still like the concept of love in this movie and the heroine of "Wild Rose of Paris". "Bitter Moon" is more reasonable, because Oscar and Mimi's different ideas about love lead to the ending. Poland's anatomy of love may make people lose confidence in love. While watching, I also thought about it many times, ah, love is so painful, it's better to die. But what is not painful. Isn't that phantom happiness that keeps us going? Since I have to live in pain like this, and don't let me live for love and die for love, and do what I love to do, then it's really better to die. It can be said that Oscar and Mimi are both extremes. The pursuit of novelty and the pursuit of eternity are generally swallowed up by desire. If the person around him is the kind of person he likes very much when Oscar first met Mimi, you should pay more attention to him around him, stop pursuing the future and nothingness, and don't destroy the balance of the balance, and the quarrel and passion will fade away. I think love is more important.
