Discuss some questions about the plot setting.

As for the reason for choosing this French film, it is undeniable that it was initially attracted by its scenery at international film festivals. After watching it, I always felt that the film was a little awkward, and I fell into contemplation. Here are a few humble opinions. 1. The story premise
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.

    The taste of Cannes was shot with the Korean drama terrier twenty years ago. The male protagonist of the boxer with his son who is almost desperate, and the star of the whale training who lost his legs in a performance accident, these two characters can easily go in the direction of a thrilling person, but this backhand plunges into people's livelihood, and the characters are extremely inward. Emotional restraint and fragmented life: the heroine insists on making him a cup of Nescafe instant coffee in person, the hero opens her curtains and opens the window for the first time, she realizes that she makes the room smell bad, the hero goes out for a walk with her On the way to the beach, the shadows of the two fell on the ground, she squinted to see him diving into the sea to swim and decided to go into the sea... and later he rescued his son by smashing the ice with his bare hands on the ice, only to find out later that he had destroyed his life. The metacarpal bones of survival... Everything is broken enough to get into the bones of life. People who are not so ordinary meet and still live ordinary days with many difficulties but sunshine.

    That scene of sex without legs made me stupid... (It's not discriminating against disabled people, but is it really okay for a female superior?
