There's someone for everyone

This is a movie that discusses what love is. The topic of love is a cliché that has been discussed and should not be discussed again, but there are still many movies willing to show people its omnipotence and earth-shattering from different story settings, as well as the torture and hesitation of the protagonist’s body and mind, and finally arrive. Theme: Love makes you brave, love makes you omnipotent.

The reason for liking romantic comedies can hardly escape the projection of so-called true love. The sadness and incompleteness in real life can seem to be made up for by the beauty of the movie, just like when you are thirsty, there is no favorite orange juice to drink a sip of white water. Suppose you ask your friends around you that you love your significant other? I'm not sure about the ratio of affirmative answers. You may hear: Ah, we are all old and old, so we won't discuss this topic; or that there are no other candidates, I think we have a very thorough understanding; I I want to stabilize. I am not too young. This person can give me a stable life, so why not?

But few people say yes, I love this person, he satisfies all my illusions about love. (This sentence Zhou Xun once used it to describe the love between her and Li Yapeng, but the result of Lao Yan's separation is still embarrassing.) Therefore, countless seniors and the bloody experiences around them tell us that love is actually very unreliable.

So at the beginning of this movie, the director used a most vivid metaphor to explain what love is. He said that love means that when you meet someone, your pupils will be enlarged by 20%, which is equivalent to drugs. The final conclusion is: Love=Durg. Therefore, falling in love makes one lose oneself.

Michelle was in the situation described above when Chris met Michelle. There is a stable boyfriend who has been in love for many years. It is hard to say how much love there is, but the other party is stable and knows the bottom line. He is not interested in yoga that she likes, and he never accompanies her to attend art exhibitions that she likes, but what about that? Life is just like that. Love is finally consumed as a trivial topic and replaced by other more practical things, such as the form of the wedding, the number of carats of the ring, and decent social status. So Michelle walked on this road confidently, as pious as a determined Christian.

Because she has experienced many emotional frustrations and encounters, she has already seen through love, and believes that all temporary passions will last. The so-called hormonal secretion is just an impulsive devil, and the sense of security that can be truly depended on is the most important thing to hold in her hand. On the bargaining chip. The shadow of her father's suicide and death has always lurked in a corner of her heart since she was a child, constantly reminding that love is a heavy and lifeless yellow beam dream. But God still made a joke with her and let Chris break into a peaceful life.

Chris grew up with his grandfather and was a screenwriter, so what he is best at is nonsense. From one female partner to another female partner, but never said or believed in love. In order to meet the needs of the screenwriter's plot, I listened to other people's stories everywhere, and then imagined myself as the protagonist in the story to experience their sweetness and bitterness. But in fact, the lack of love in his heart is closely related to his childhood. One night when he was a child, his mother just said that she loved him, but the next morning she left a leave note on the custard star, so that he was full of rejection of the custard star.

However, at a charity party, Michelle and Michelle briefly ridiculed and cooperated with each other in a game among decent upper-class people. When his fingers crossed, the surge of electric current made him start looking for Cinderella. He frantically searched for all charity-related activities and looked forward to encountering her in these activities, but time and time again, the high fees for charity activities and the hard-working charity marathon ran and ran, and he never got his wish. Just when he was about to give up, the plot turned sharply and they met. The stroll on the beach allowed him to pluck up the courage to propose "friend-style dating", specially selected art galleries in public places, everything did not cross the line, talk about art, talk about life, and then politely separate.

Therefore, a woman who lost faith in love and only wanted to stabilize her life and a man who had never been in a serious relationship nor believed in long-term relationships began their adventurous second and third dates, until they kissed and went to bed, all that should happen between lovers. After doing it again, the hostess regretted it. The hostess immediately became sober in the morning of the next day and said that it was not possible, and convinced herself that what she really wanted was stability, not something like this. Chris was very sad that day. He thought that he had proved his fit with her with practical actions, and the relationship with each other went a step further, but he did not expect to be rejected. When he was alone at home, he held out what he had deposited. Note, a person looked at the past in the box blankly and lonely, as if returning to the empathy of being abandoned by his mother when he was a child.

This love game like hide-and-seek finally declares the independence and liberation of love through the old bridge section of grabbing relatives. This is involved in many movies. In Hong Kong’s "Single Man and Woman 2", Gu Tianle, in order to embrace the beauty at the wedding, must interpret Spider-Man, climbing from the bottom of the skyscraper to the top of the wedding scene, the risk factor can be called As a result, the acrobat moved the bride-to-be Gao Yuanyuan; of course there were also failures, such as "You at the same table" in the mainland. Lin Gengxin conceived countless scenes of stealing Zhou Dongyu from the wedding in his mind. In the end, it was just an imaginary in his mind. So much so that we recognize that the success of grabbing relatives at a wedding is the ironclad standard for testing true love. Chris recalled the marriage scene that the heroine once said, so he ran through all the heart-shaped sculptures in the city, and found the heroine sitting alone on the grass at the last moment.

He said: "Love is chaotic, confusing, scary, and painful. Love is terrible, but I look at you now and I want to take a risk. I know it may be a mistake, I know We may make each other miserable, but if we have the possibility of being together a little bit, I have not tried it. I will regret it for the rest of my life. "

Love is beautiful, reality is cruel, people are contradictory individuals, good men and women. Struggling in the camp with the desire for love. On the one hand, there is still the dream of finding the so-called love. On the other hand, it is persuading oneself to compromise with reality, and not to disturb the normal rhythm of life because of temporary feelings. The pace was dazzled by love. However, if there is only the slightest chance, please firmly grasp the hands of your loved ones, and then move forward together. Please don't just give up so easily.
