The unexplored theme, the standard female film

When I saw the Chinese translation of the title, I couldn't help but think of Kijeslovsky's business card "Two Life Flowers". The difference is that this film tells about the subtle changes that a woman undergoes after the approximate time difference between catching and not catching the subway. The most obvious point is the obvious difference between luck and misfortune caused by getting along with different men. It seems to indicate some destiny: a woman's life is absolutely related to the man around him, and the latter is, to some extent, the most important factor in determining the fate of women.

The screenwriter is likely to have some Prince Charming complex, or that the film as a whole is a hypnotic work for women to make women believe that the power of love can become their own salvation and reverse their lives.

After being fired, Helen desperately wanted to go home, but when he was on the subway, two possibilities appeared:

Helen 1 caught the subway and found out about the bedclothes of his boyfriend and his ex-girlfriend when he returned home, so he broke up. Changed her hairstyle to change her mood, so she met James, who was humorous and attractive, who helped her pick up the earrings in the elevator as early as when she fell off, and started a new love story.

Helen 2 missed the subway and was robbed. When he got home, his cheating boyfriend had already wiped out all visible signs. Everything seems to be the same for the two of them, still working part-time to provide them with their daily needs, but their boyfriend is cheating between the two women without knowing it.

With the support of James, Helen 1 found a good new job and succeeded in his career. After resolving the misunderstanding about James’s marriage, he reaped a perfect love. It seemed beautiful, but he met with the joy of misunderstanding and ice release. The truck's life came to an abrupt end.

Helen 2 has her boyfriend's child, and at the same time her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend is pregnant and comes to the door. After being sad and desperate, Helen2 grabbed the door but rolled down the stairs and was admitted to the hospital. As a matter of course, the child can't keep it, and at the same time, the relationship with her boyfriend is slipped away. So Break Up, in the elevator, I met James and the classic dialogue that appeared many times in the film.

Just leave the audience with some beautiful imagination, and then Dido's "Thank You" (what is it to thank? Maybe it was Helen that finally met James).

Judging from the plot of the film, there is nothing unexpected. . But the performances of the protagonists can be regarded as remarkable, and the dialogue can be regarded as humorous.

It can be regarded as removing the highlight of the script.

I won’t repeat it here, because it can be seen on every movie introduction site. It is worth mentioning that the topic mining level. The two different experiences due to the slight time difference are more like the coexistence of parallel space exploration. There is always no similarity between the two Helen's personalities in the film. Helen1's self-confidence and beauty, Helen2's humble and lacklustre. Isn't love going well, a woman with full abilities can no longer find a social position that suits her? Are you going to simply break the jar and fall to the end?

This arrangement seems a bit nonsense.
