of this film is worth pondering. The process of two strange men and women from acquaintance to love is enough to make people excited, not to mention some unfortunate factors? The theme does not stop at narrow sex and love. The inner collision between people makes the film look vivid and atmospheric, but at the same time, the choice of narrative method makes me a little puzzled.
2. About the narrative method: When I first saw this film, I was going to watch a feature film with a solid heart, but with the sudden intervention of Stephanie and the "fighting agent", I began to doubt the director's narrative method. What the audience brought to the audience at the beginning is the breath of life, so why can't life be consistent in the subsequent narrative? The important narrative clues are presented abruptly and in isolation, which really makes me feel that I can see the traces of the screenwriter's existence... This is what I think What you don't want to see, isn't it better to sprinkle a layer of dust called "life" on top of the plot? The straight-to-the-point plays are relatively unsuccessful in my opinion.
3. Can the plot of Stephanie's accident at the beginning of the film be hidden? Wouldn't it be nice to give the audience a little wiggle room? What's more, from the narrative of the whole film, it can be seen that the director has left a lot of blanks. For example, the first time Stephanie called Ali after the accident, the director did not show all the dialogue between the two, like There are several such blanks in the film (interestingly, these blanks were chosen on the important plot points of the film), Ali ran away after his sister learned about the installation of hidden cameras in the supermarket. After that, there is a big blank space. It can be seen that the director deliberately chose blank space as one of the narrative methods, but the puzzling problem is that the director's narrative in many plot paragraphs in the film is surprisingly "full". The first meeting with the "fighting agent", the conversation between the agent and Ali was completely preserved! And there are repeated narrations about the "character resume" in the dialogue, "I played boxing before and then Muay Thai", the background of this part of the characters has been explained in detail in the previous application paragraphs! The repetition here, in my opinion, is pointless and should be omitted to make the plot more compact. Based on this, it is speculated that the director did not polish the script of the film, but the omitted plot was retained, which is suspected of inappropriate choice. As for the tragic experience of Stephanie Aquarium, I personally think that deleting it will not affect the audience's understanding of the plot. Freeing up space for the audience to think may greatly improve the artistry of the film.
