I lost you the minute I got on that car didn't I.
Haven't read the original, just watched the movie alone. The look and feel is still good. The plot is well connected between dreams and reality. In the end, I don't think there is any problem with David's own courage to face life and love.
As far as this movie is concerned, David is portrayed as an irresponsible playboy, escaping the expectations, demands and attempts of those around him (parents, subordinates, board of directors, etc.) in reality. He chose a high-rise rooftop when he was about to wake up at the end. What he chose to overcome was not only his fear of heights, because his father had always disliked his fear of heights, so this choice was his fear of the gazes of those around him. . He knew at the last minute that he was loved by true friends.
At the same time, he also understands his feelings for Sophia.
Many people suffer from fruitless love, and this pain often consists of nostalgia and fantasies about the future that are fed by nostalgia. When David got on that train, he was going to go with Julie. That is to say, no matter how simple and beautiful David thinks Sophia is, at that moment, the moment he decides to get in the car, David decides to leave Sophia behind and continue to live his life of debauchery and escape. But soon after getting in the car, the accident happened. It's tragic and a huge shock to David. He has lost a lot, the most fundamental is the eternal youth he is obsessed with (more specifically, the appearance and posture of youth). So he is looking for sustenance. He thought that a simple and beautiful woman like Sophia would definitely accept him now.
At the last moment, he said "I lost you the moment i got in that car didn't i" was actually a kind of realization. The decision I made at that time was to leave Sophia behind, and all the love and affection after that were nothing but the sustenance I was looking for.
What's wrong with a psychoanalytic film that focuses on personal spiritual redemption? Even the film itself said, "this is a revolution of the mind", not of the principles of psychology or ethics!!!!
