so close, so far

When closer was still a stage play, Taiwanese used this translation name, and after it became a movie, it was called Stealing the Heart.
This confirms my two impressions about the translation industry in Taiwan: the foundation of the Chinese language is very good, and the mainland literary youth may not be able to catch up with the horse for 20 years. Seeing the back; the ability to make gimmicks is extremely strong, and an extremely literary film should have a sensational name. Of course, they are still showing mercy: according to the plot, it can be named as going around in the wrong bed.
Let's discuss such a question: At the end of the 007 movie, james bond will always successfully seduce a Bond girl, and then what? The only thing that worked out was on her majesty's secret service in '69, where he ended up marrying the Bond girl in the episode, and then the bride was beaten to death by the villain's remnants on the float, leading to the famous line: we have all the time in the world
What I want to say is that at the end of every popular romance film, the hero and heroine will "live happily ever after", at least, that's what the cheerful ending song of the faded picture suggests. But are they really happy?
In this film, unfortunately, "everyone didn't have a good result". The reason is that we are accustomed to being selfish, suspicious, jealous, insidious, unprincipled and afraid of taking responsibility. When these are concentrated and shown to you in 80 minutes, it will be very cruel to be as simple as you and me. The most talked about in the play is love, but it seems that this is also the most lacking in the film. Both men are dominated by desire, and both women are passively swayed. Everyone has reservations, and no one can be happy. Thinking of this, it's not that I don't despair,
so the lie has become the real protagonist. The interesting thing is that every lie is so naturally spoken, a natural continuation, quietly hidden in a corner, waiting to break out at the right moment.
Let us pay tribute to the screenwriter patrick marber, to open up the darkness and fragility of love for everyone to see, it is not without courage, or even despicable, whether he has been stimulated by himself to write this story ruthlessly.
There is such a concept in the film, stranger. Every relationship starts with strangers. There are many ways to get to know each other, and the process in between is different, but there is only one reason for leaving: no longer in love. This is a very crowning reason, but where is the real standard of judgment? As a former engineering student, I deeply regret not being able to quantitatively analyze this kind of thing.
Near the end, natalie portman lay on the bed and calmly said to Jude Law, too late, i don't love you anymore, good bye
The film begins It was a very sunny picture, jude law and natalie portman were walking towards each other on both sides of the street, the singing started, i can't take my eyes off of you i can't take my mind off of you. she said to him , hi, stranger. At the end of the credits, the same scene and singing appear again, as if a tragedy is being staged again
