Who is the heroine

The following text contains heavy spoilers, but only details.

The hero is called Ryan, and the two heroines are called Alex and Natalie.

Alex is ranked ahead of Natalie on the credits and imdb list.

In fact, the two have similar roles. If you want to set a standard to separate the lead, I think it is-
whoever changes Ryan is the heroine.

Ryan has many characteristics, the most prominent is paranoia (self-proclaimed stereotype), sometimes like a naughty kid trying to deny everything against him.
Near the beginning of the scene, in the cabin, he repeatedly heard "can sir" as "cancer", seemingly idle, but in fact he was talking about this feature.
He has a typical bachelor's view of marriage: it doesn't care about love, doesn't believe in the stability of marriage, doesn't worry that no one can talk, and doesn't worry about dying alone.

Alex subverted his view of marriage.
She is a chic, calm and open-minded grown-up (self-proclaimed).
So after he had a headache, she could still say "I thought we wanted the same thing."
If Natalie does not show up, this "thought" can always be correct.

Natalie is very immature, but never pretentious, and chooses to write all her reactions on her face.
So she moved forward actively, and also drove everything around her with passion (Ryan described it as zeal).
That's why she spoke her own opinions without hesitation, even if it was her misunderstanding of Alex.

For Natalie's words, Ryan was touched, but not deep into his soul.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew the template away, so he had to jump into the water.
So Natalie's words went deep into the soul (suspension bridge effect).

So who changed Ryan's question, the answer is that annoying wind.

If you take a step back from the result, you can only choose between Alex and Natalie-
Alex has never changed, so I thought Ryan would not change either.
Natalie is always changing and expects Ryan to change. Let me

illustrate this overall stable three-person system:
Ryan mature ⇒ immature
Alex mature ⇒ mature
Natalie immature ⇒ mature

so I think it is Natalie.

There is no meaning to encourage Natalie to guard against the sky, but when watching the film, you can raise the point of view of Natalie.

    I want to take this piece to warm it up in winter, but it seems that this cup of "tea" is a bit cold, and the more I look at it, the more it feels cold.

    Inspirational film for your lungs. . . How come so many people feel good. What problems are solved by self-imposed obsession, there is so much persuasiveness. Plus the inexplicable soundtrack. As a poor man in the celestial dynasty, there is still a long way to go to understand how this kind of education film of upper middle class sublimates life.
