In the process of searching for her fiance, Mathilde received a lot of good news, bad news, true news and false news. These news make the storyline of the film confusing and exciting. Mathilde never gave up, because she was optimistic and insisted on her faith. Optimism and conviction are not desires, but the motivation to keep moving forward. In order to show that Mathilde is an optimistic ordinary person, the film designed the scene of Mathilde playing the trumpet in a unique way. Mathilde sat by the sea alone, blowing his tuba. This is the catharsis of the protagonist's negative emotions, because Mathilde is not a god or a hero, but a weak woman. When her fiancé's life or death was uncertain, her trumpet wailed like a whistle, expressing Mathilde's full of sadness. When Mathilde found out that the fiancé was not dead, but the news had not been confirmed, Mathilde's trumpet changed from a low voice to a simple tune, expressing her feelings one after another. How much she hopes that the news that Manet is not dead is true, but the whereabouts of her fiance is still sinking into the ocean. What kind of suffering and waiting is this. Faced with the "long road and long way to go" to find a fiancé, one can only blow the trumpet and vent his emotions. Also in order to protect love, Ding Na and Mathilde formed a sharp contrast. Ding Na is pessimistic, fierce and even paranoid. "Whoever destroys my hope, I will let him pay the price." After her hope turned into despair, she began to lose reason and retaliate. She killed Lahuye and Duvone who hurt her Angel Baby, and eventually destroyed it. Lost myself. Through the contrast between Ding Na and Mathilde and Mathilde's own optimism and pessimism, the film allows the audience to see the struggle between the two emotions. The result of the struggle is that optimism prevails over pessimism: Mathilde looked forward to the alive Manet, and the warm picture of "lovers finally get married" also met the audience's expectations.
