This is a very delicate movie. The acting skills of the heroine and the hero are very powerful. The two parts of the story have the same structure, but the ending is completely different. Just because the attitudes of the protagonists towards each other have changed, life has changed its appearance accordingly.
The preceding paragraph symbolizes a world of pretentiousness. The director wanted to show his best self in front of the girls, so his mouth was full of sweet words, but it was empty and tasteless. The painter wanted the director to fall in love with him, so he pretended to be gentle and virtuous and worshipped him infinitely. But the disguise of the two kept them far apart, just like the countless hormonal flirtations that took place around the world, their "attraction" also came to an end because of the director's married status.
The latter paragraph symbolizes the real waking world. The outbreak of the painter in the studio made the director realize that the girl was treating him with heart, so he also began to give up the same rhetoric and search for the shining point of this beautiful girl again. The two finally realized that they understood and appreciated each other spiritually, rather than a simple dewy relationship, so the director cried bitterly while drinking, and the painter braved the cold wind to come to see his film screening.
The two different endings are thought provoking. This is not just a simple love movie, nor just a literary film. There is a sentence in the movie that may express its meaning: "Give up fear and find the truth hidden in the surface of life." In today's increasingly indifferent society, we often doubt whether there is still a sincere relationship between people, We often disguise ourselves, hoping to win company when we both feel safe. But choosing to create a false self means that we can't really get love from another person, and we can't release love ourselves. Like the first ending of the story, the director wraps himself up officially without getting the respect of the people. On the contrary, if we can show our true side, even if we are drunk and cry in front of the woman we like, and take off all our clothes because we are depressed, we can always understand in the end, because you are a living man, not a model of a good man. Out of the fear of being abandoned and ignored, choosing to cater to other people's eyes, saying the best things, and doing the most gentlemanly things, may be admirable for a while, but it will make us forget who we are, and we will be frank by those who are honest. People who face life debunked. If we want a soul mate, but close our hearts, what else can we get besides satisfying the most straightforward sensuality?
The whole movie is done with great detail. I was impressed by the different endings of the director's two screenings in the story. The previous director's shouting at the screening, the complete gaffe, symbolized his unease and panic when he was seen through his false face. In the second half, the director treats the host and the audience with courtesy and humility and charmingness, which symbolizes his confidence and frankness in being his true self. In fact, the same is true for each of us. Whether it is with friends, relatives, or lovers, we are often insincere because of our stupid self-esteem and vanity. But in fact, we have long been lost in the wrinkles of life, because losing self means aging. I think the director's intention in making this movie is also here. What kind of person each of us meets may be fate, but whether we can keep her or not and what kind of life we start is determined by our attitude towards ourselves. Less routine and more sincerity may not only apply to others, but also to ourselves.
