condition

Love has no conditions, but everything else requires conditions and reasons. Women's unconditional giving and men's endless demands have become the main factors for the imbalance of this society. This needs to change, and everyone (both male and female) needs to balance the energies of both sexes within, which is the key to change. This will manifest as more expressions of unconditional love.

The film tries to express the contradiction and unity between the inner world and the outer world in a plain way, without too much judgment, leaving a lot of space for the audience to understand. Few directors have such courage, because this can be said to be Box office "taboo". But it's also the beauty of this movie.

    It's more dramatic than 45 Years, especially the ending of the male lead is a bit deliberate. The female lead's performance in the male lead's speech deserves a Best Actress Award

    Men are prisoners of fame and sexuality, like children, dependent on women for protection and flattery. Women are the king maker, the uncrowned king. They see through everything, not only can protect their family and love, but also have a decent drink with others from time to time. In the play, Joan finally chooses to compromise, but this does not mean giving up, but just: as a woman, in the face of fame and love, she willfully chooses the latter; about right and wrong, in the face of family value, it is not worth one at all. Mention that as a mother, she only needs to be responsible for her children; as a female writer, her talents are inexhaustible, and it is never too late to start writing again. Interspersed between various roles, she is calm and at ease, not only in the first half of her life as her own master (from pursuing love to being a shadow writer, it is always her own decision), but in the second half of her life, she will probably become famous, and her husband is the only one A real poor man.
