His films are just like his tone, especially in recent years, they are more gloomy and cold, like the kind of coldness that northern Europe gives people, even the air is cold. In his early "Seven Deadly Sins", the gloomy tone finally gave a majestic and invigorating climax. But in recent years, whether it is "The Social Network", "Dragon Tattoo", or "House of Cards", I feel that he likes dark waves more, the surface is calm, and the feeling of rolling waves below, although it will not make people feel The exhilaration at the intense climax of the plot, but you'll find it deeper and more intriguing.
There's a lot to talk about in this film. Pulling once is definitely not enough. The narrative method of the original novel itself already speaks wonderfully about marriage and the relationship between the sexes. From the acquaintance and love of two people, to marriage, affair, all kinds of conflicts. It almost talks about all kinds of psychology that will be encountered in love.
The two people who were together at the beginning pretended to be each other's likes. At the beginning of a relationship, everyone thinks that they will not become as disgusting and annoying as other couples. Later, they will control each other, bind each other, and endure each other according to some kind of inertia, which may also be the essence of human nature. Then I felt that I didn't understand each other more and more, and later I simply decided that the two people were different people, and I was wrong at first. But as AMY said, this is marriage. No two people in the world are the same. In love and marriage, the real test is not whether two people are suitable, but whether two people have high emotional intelligence. The burst of hormones and passion used to be only for a moment, but the cultivation of emotional intelligence seems to be a lifetime thing. Maybe some people don't know how to love someone when they get old, how to get along with someone who is going to live a lifetime, and how to be nice to someone, because they don't even know who they are. Too many people don't understand themselves, and it is difficult for a person who does not understand himself to truly understand others, and even more difficult to truly love others.
The film mentioned that love and marriage are full of lies. Promises are lies, and marriage vows are also lies. Who can guarantee that they will love the same person for the rest of their lives? Everyone makes a marriage vow before they can prove it, as if the sentence YES ,I DO works only at the moment that it is said, even if it is said. However, let alone love and marriage, in this complex society, there are lies everywhere, just like in the film, where satire is everywhere, the media is at the mercy of the wind, words have no authority and sense of responsibility, and they become used and abused by others. A tool at the mercy.
I feel like this movie has too much to say. Fortunately, Finch's film has smooth editing, no procrastination, and a strong sense of rhythm. It is difficult for other directors to tell such a complex story wonderfully.
David Fincher is what allows you to follow in his footsteps to explore little by little. What he is best at is to take you through the black hole of appearance, step by step to explore the black hole in the depths of human nature. We thought we were reading other people's stories, but we found out at the end that the black hole is also in ourselves.
