Cherish friends who speak to your shortcomings

This film deeply portrays human nature. What impressed me the most in the whole film was the scene where the painter Simon looked in the mirror after being beaten into the hospital. In fact, everyone is reluctant to look in the mirror. Especially when you are at your worst. The director described very delicately how Simon looked in the mirror after being injured. It's sympathetic and funny. And the writer Melvin speaks like a mirror. If other people have any shortcomings, they just point them out directly, poke at other people's sore spots, and make everyone hate him. Such people are the least welcome. Because no one wants to face their own shortcomings. This is so cute. But it made the people around him miserable.
Writer Melvin's inner purity and transparency made him completely unable to feel the reaction of others to his language, until he met the goddess Carol in his heart.
The so-called perfection, in fact, I think the director wants to say that no one is perfect. The reason why people feel that there is a perfect existence is because human beings can use love, sharing and care to find or build a perfect symbiotic relationship. When imperfect people come together, open their hearts, learn from each other's strengths, and love and cherish each other, they can have a perfect ending. as good as it gets is literally translated as good as he gets. He traded his love and kindness for the perfect woman and life he wanted. So be perfect.
There is no perfect person in the world, but respecting your inner feelings and wishes, starting from your heart, and pursuing the life you want will surely get the best answer.
I think I will watch this movie again and again.

    "As an actor, for example, outside of Hong Kong movies, do you want to play this role, is there such a movie?" "The role played by Jack Nicholson in "The Love Novelist". That is very fascinating. A disgusting character, but a very kind heart. If I were to play a character like that, it might be interesting too."-Leslie Cheung

    The standard healing style is thoughtful and natural, and makes people feel a warm current. The collision of the three protagonists adds a spicy flavor. Aunt Helen's character is too lovable, full of intoxicating charm.
