After watching the film once, I remembered it for a long time.
Then watch it again.
After reading it twice, I gave it two labels "love, suspense". I also think it is very strange for such labels, but it seems to be very suitable.
Can the film be "suspenseful"? I am also very skeptical, but there are many peculiarities that make people feel that they have made a unique film about marriage and love, which is very novel and worth thinking about.
After reading several film reviews, I have conducted various unique discussions on the plot and the ins and outs. I think they are very intentional and interesting. But I don't seem to agree with some of the views and ideas. Maybe there are a hundred Hamlets in the eyes of a hundred people, and everyone sees the world differently. I just want to share my thoughts.
I remember a question asked in a film review: If you were asked to choose regardless of gender, which person would you choose as your character? The answer to this question seemed to jump out of my heart without thinking. I would choose the heroine who stayed and didn't leave in the end (let's call it the real heroine).
In my opinion, the real male protagonist cheats in love, but fails to communicate properly with the other half of the marriage; he is impatient with the various demands of the female protagonist; it is difficult and far-fetched to make changes; In the process of change, but always stick to the old ways, stuck in the city, any novel attempt, or romantic in a different way (the male protagonist continued to use the way of sneaking into other people's swimming pools to help rebuild the feeling at that time after marriage) None of these... These are all important factors that prevent him from enjoying a high-quality marriage. Perhaps, this is the reason why he can't be that gorilla or aardvark. - These are the reasons why I don't like real male protagonists.
The Ethan who doesn't wear glasses, let's call it a fake male lead, I don't like it either. Overconfident, he appears conceited. Although he has a high emotional intelligence and speaks so pleasantly, he knows how to properly handle his emotions and freely retract it, but in the end he is a bird that has been trapped in a cage for too long, causing him to lose his wings. After knowing that it was impossible to leave together with Sophie, seeing the open door, he cursed the three of them desperately and made a last-ditch effort to escape the cage of this world. , but ended up with a sad and angry end.
And Sophie, who knows how to forbear, and is quite selective, scheming, and smart, let's call it a fake heroine, and it's not a role I'd like to choose. In fact, I can't seem to find any flaws in her. She must have been trapped here with the fake male lead for a long time, but she still loves the fake male lead. In the end, after she changed into the same clothes as the real female lead, Ben It is possible to use the identity of the real heroine and leave with the fake male protagonist, and it is only necessary to pretend to be emotional, but she is not, she loves him too much in her heart, and she clearly perceives that the fake male protagonist's kiss is not for her. When she was with her, she had no intention of disguising at all, because the other party's giving up on her had made her heart cold to the extreme, how could she choose to tie her love to such a person who didn't love her? So she was too rational. In the end, she chose someone who was willing to love her, although that love was also exchanged for a fake identity. After all, it helped her get out of that cold cage, because in that villa cage , she has no love... From the character's point of view, she is forbearing, loyal, steadfast, rational, intelligent, delicate and full of feelings, but it is perfect, I really can't find many shortcomings, but I It's her over-rational judgment and decision, the calm to almost cold transformation, and the unseen enough kindness... I'm worried about her. Therefore, do not like.
The only thing left is the real heroine, that Sophie, she always hopes that love and marriage can be kept fresh, and always believes that perfect love exists in her marriage, even in the face of the betrayal of the other half. He still left so many opportunities for him to take him to see a psychiatrist, just to restore the beautiful hope in her heart for love, although she knew that passion no longer existed in the other half, but she was still so Childish belief that everything can be "remodeled"...because her character is destined to be willing to change and accept change, she can accept different "versions" of her lover and be willing to try, and can accept her own heart and change, so in the end, she Make something like that gorilla or aardvark, don't ask why, just enjoy it. In her heart, she firmly believed that the fake male protagonist was Ethan from another time and space, and he was no different from Ethan by her side, but the coldness of reality and the remaining rationality told her that she was heading for betrayal. She didn't know what to do. She turned to the fake male lead for help and hoped to get answers and help, but she encountered the real male lead. In a misunderstanding, she caused her nominal betrayal of marriage and the fact that the real male lead never thought about her. The past deception... All of this made their marriage full of countless variables and tricks again. In this kind of deceit, how could Sophie once again use her undefended heart to face this unknown to her. What about a man who can't be respected or loved? Sophie is the kind of person who is full of desire for exploration and knowledge in life, willing to constantly create the surprise of life with passion, willing to believe that all good things can happen, and full of kind people, or a little too simple. When she saw the fake male protagonist lying at the intersection without knowing her life or death, she closed her eyes when she faced the questioning eyes of her former lover, and her heart was full of pain. At that moment, she was not making a choice or even thinking about it. , is just heartache for the road she has traveled and the people she has encountered. Now, she no longer has any extravagant desires and thoughts about the past... She just wants to stay here quietly and be the one she chooses. , A kind person, although she may not know what kind of cage-like life she will face next, I believe that she has the strength in her heart to face all setbacks and unknowns...
I have to say that the stalk of "Bacon" is so cleverly set up in the movie. At the end of the film, when the real male protagonist hears bacon for breakfast again, his stunned expression, maybe he needs to spend a lifetime to fix this stalk? In fact, the information provided by the film can clearly sort out the roles, relationships, and who of the four people, but I don't think it is necessary to be true to all of this, and keep the kindest and most powerful one in my heart. Just be yourself. You who watch the movie will definitely be able to see a "Hamlet" that is different from what I saw. After all, we don't need to discuss the length of the story.
At this moment, I think, if the fake male protagonist eventually either dies, or wakes up with a perfect fairy tale, or becomes a grief-stricken person who can't get out of the cage and is full of resentment against the world again... and What about our heroine, Sophie? Maybe time flies, although he is old and his face is gone, he is still so quiet and peaceful lying on the lounge chair by the pool, enjoying the warm sunshine in the afternoon.
