The core of the story of the spirit's self-redemption in a lucid dream is: what exactly is the happiness you (David) want? David grew up in a family of strict fathers and mothers, he admired but feared his father who was not satisfied with him, and depended on his mother's soft and warm embrace. However, the growth line of his teenage years was broken due to the early death of his parents. David couldn't bear to understand Julie's feelings, but he found the true love in his heart after the blow. Sofia has become an image of a beautiful, vanilla sky. David is arrogant, pretending to be free and easy, inferior, cowardly, crazy, and finally admits "I lost you when I got in that car." to complete his growth. The broken storyboard in the early stage revealed the real plot. In the later stage, Sofia suddenly turns into Julie, which is amazing... The pain, fear, and depression of Tang's performance are also beautiful... The two heroines are also great. The way of the interlude looks really messy in the early stage. If the endings can't all be perfectly strung together, don't use it... I found that romance films can't really move me too much... You only love yourself, and her in your mind.

    A film about dreams and dream interpretation, tender and delicate, sad and romantic. A large number of flashbacks and dreams cut off the natural narrative, blur the truth of reality, and give the audience a variety of possibilities to interpret the story. But whether it is the love between men and women or the psychological changes of the protagonist, they are not depicted deeply enough, and they mainly rely on lighting and scenery to render the atmosphere. However, when Tom, Penelope, and Diaz appeared in this film, they were all at the peak of their appearance, which increased the viewing value of the film more than a little. PS Dai Jinhua's "Film Criticism" Chapter 4, the analysis of this film is very thorough, the angle is sharp, it is worth reading again and again.
