She didn't love him enough, which was indeed the most reasonable reason to explain the loss. And Maggie can't make the promise of marriage again and again, and lack of love can't be the fundamental reason. The question then becomes, why she can't love others deeply over and over again. In fact, this is not an esoteric film. When Maggie went to find the rugby coach, the coach thought he was romantically letting a bunch of golfers push Maggie to run. With the excitement on Maggie’s face, I had already seen the girl’s problem: she just accommodating others and showing her appearance. Harmony creates the illusion of love; this is a girl who ignores herself for love and to avoid conflict. All subsequent plots have also confirmed this. Her tastes and hobbies change with the changes of her boyfriend. When buying a wedding dress, she would listen to the advice of the clerk and grandma to give up the favorite and choose the cheaper one. Even in the family relationship, she gave up her studies and went home to take care of her widowed and alcoholic father. I was used to my father's habit of drunkenness and negligence without even noticing it. We don’t know what caused it, but Maggie has suppressed herself for too long, so long that she no longer knows what she wants, so that she can become anything. When asked why she likes climbing, she can only say "The Himalayas are so cool and tall."
On the other hand, her "easy-going" is precisely the reason why she has so many suitors or admirers. Her consistent attitude of accommodating others gives people the feeling that this girl is available and she is open. No one likes a person who is too individual, who is out of place, does not make the slightest change for others, and talks about rejection. Because no one likes to be rejected, or always reminded of the difference between two people. After all, the beginning of a relationship is a connection: a common concept of life, hobbies, and so on. However, if a person does not have his own shape at all and changes with you, what value is this forged connection. Without a valuable connection, or a simpler word, without genuine resonance, love would not exist.
Helpless, lonely we more or less have such a behavioral habit: in order to get love—especially those who lacked love in adolescence—we will apologize more or less and accommodate others, thinking that the sense of identity gained in this way will enable us Live a happier and fulfilling life. The dreams that I have woven will definitely wake up, and over time, love becomes a burden. Wearing a mask and even gritting his teeth to taste the sincere emotions that should have been, the taste is probably not much better. Maggie chose to escape at the wedding because that was the last chance before saying "I do". She is a good girl who is loyal to her heart. It's just that this kind of trick that was kind and forbearing for specious love still hurt so many people's hearts after all.
Fortunately, our Maggie is not exactly a shape shifter, her creative shop has revealed this. She has her own world, her own point of view, and her self is clearly insinuated in Kit Kat's hardware works. The previous hapless grooms were not completely innocent, at least it was not revealed in the film that any of them cared about Maggie's talent. Not paying attention to each other, but only focusing on one's own preferences, or even wishful thinking to "cultivate" common hobbies, is not what people in love should have. It cannot be denied that it is a very common thing for two people to be busy in their own way in the current love relationship, and many people are accustomed to it. But we should really ask ourselves what is the meaning of such a relationship. We cannot choose our parents or children. Our childhood playmates feel alienated. Adult friends are sometimes just business partners. The only person who can love freely is the unique person in the world. If you give up even this position easily, life is truly miserable and desperate. Lucky Maggie ran into a man who was willing to study her with great concentration, and this man just knew her. The blessing of luck lies in that Maggie pretends to be in conflict with Ike as soon as she comes up, the old man is exhausted by him, and there is no chance to pretend to be herself. Except for Maggie's girlfriend, Ike may be the only man who really knows the "bad" Maggie. He was dyed hair, sneaked in illegally, and hit hard. He forced her to reveal her prototype, but he also fell in love with this real and vivid girl.
That's it, to be honest, I really thought that Maggie would never run away again. But I was wrong, and I admit that in terms of plot arrangement and intention, the director is better here. Indeed, if Maggie marries this man who knows her in this way and completes a wedding that should have happened, it cannot be proved that this is the love promise she actively wants to make. Only when she tasted all kinds of cooking eggs and found out her own taste, bravely presented her perspective of the world (sold the work to New York), and took the initiative to find the man she loved, this time, Maggie truly became herself -Instead of Ike's reflection-appeared in this frank and precious love relationship. At the end of the film, Maggie finally had her own unique wedding.
Therefore, love can only exist between independent individuals. It should be able to accomplish self-improvement, rather than destroy and bury personality. Never forget who you are, that is the only starting point for love.
