Then I started to wonder how the story would be told? Will it be as exciting as The Time Traveler's Wife? "The Time Traveler's Wife" is about a woman who faces her husband's inexplicable disappearance through time and space every day, and then inexplicably returns. Li Xiu is facing a lover who becomes a different person every day, and has to start over every day. The plot design is the same, how will the story be told?
I thought about five or six options, but I couldn't push it. Because it requires too strong logic. For example, the mother may have a way to solve it, because their family is cursed. Or, like "The Time Traveler's Wife," there will be some dialogue with the father, and the real secret will be revealed. Or the heroine finally helped her find a way to break it. etc. Anyway I want to find the real answer.
However, when I got home and read it, I realized that I was thinking too much. He was just telling a love story, a beautiful fairy tale love story. Impressed, not surprised. Or this is an idea that cannot be explained with logic, so it is simply not necessary to speak logic.
This woman is happy, she sleeps with a different man every day, but is essentially the same man. This is the dream of many scumbags. This man is happier, he can become a different person every day, and he can do anything with a woman robbing a bank, because he will change, and he doesn't have to be responsible. This is the dream of many men. But the director just suppressed these desires and came up with a story of pure love, which is really a waste of subject matter.
But I think this is also the core expression of the director - true love is only one. But it is also because of this that at the same time, the overall force of the film is lowered. This topic, put it in the United States, will definitely talk about love to perfection, and at the same time burn the brain hole to the end. This subject matter, put it in China, er...
In short, this is a creative film. I admire the imagination of Korean filmmakers.
I hope Chinese filmmakers don't fuck around with money, and do a good job of imagination first.
