Happy together

I once thought about such a problem. People often refer to the love entanglement in the movie that A likes B and B likes C as a triangle relationship, but it seems that it should be added that C likes A to be called a perfect equilateral triangle, but this is the case. Inside the triangle, there must be a line that is homosexual love. There will be no same-sex love in a more complex four-cornered relationship, but if such a single-line emotional flow does appear, some creatures will make people fool.

The British film, translated as "Four Corners", although there are two pairs of men and women in the poster, does not tell the emotional entanglement of the four people. In the poster, a girl clasps her fingers with another girl while kissing a couple. We can see the homosexual elements of the movie, but the movie does not describe the "bitterness and hatred" of same-sex love. It tells a story of discovering love, knowing love and how to love.

Rachel and Heck are an enviable couple who are finally married after years of love. At their wedding, Rachel fell in love with a florist girl Ruth at first sight. After a happy marriage, Rachael couldn't make Rachel fall in love with that girl deeply. Her inner love and the responsibility of marriage tormented her. Rachel became preoccupied, and Heck blamed himself inwardly. It makes Rachel even more painful...

The movie has a happy ending because everyone in the movie knows how to deal with love. Love is selfish, but love can also be selfless. Heck resolutely gave up after knowing that his wife was deeply in love with someone else but suffered because of the marriage. He said to his wife, "I just want to make you happy, that's more than anything else. I want to be your source of happiness. But if I can't, I can't stay like this." He can completely ignore his wife's feelings. , to continue the marriage. But love is not to imprison the other person by your side, but to make the other person happy. It is precisely because of Love Heck that Rachel would rather suppress her feelings to continue the marriage, and Ruth also decided to leave Rachel. These actions are all out of love. Their ultimate happiness is the courage to face their true emotions, but also because of another person who loves them by their side.

The film's English name "Imagine me & you" is taken from the first lyric of the film's ending song "Happy together", which is also the ending of Wong Kar-wai's famous gay movie "Happy Together" song. In fact, neither of these two films discusses the meaning of homosexuality, but tells us not to lose our love instinct, to be a person who dares to love and hate, and the essence of love is Happy together.
