This indie film is not good. The plot is very protracted, and the director's ability to tell the story really needs to be strengthened. But the end of the story, the last ten minutes, gave me a big surprise.
Marriage is like a waltz, a dance for two people. You come and I come, I enter and you retreat. The heroine's marriage, but jumped out of the rhythm, became a person's tango. Life involved her in an emotional whirlpool, which was an opportunity for her to face up to the total inadequacies of marriage. But she didn't have a clear mind to make a correct choice for herself.
She went farther and farther, and she couldn't extricate herself psychologically. The husband looked at everything, but buried his head in the sand like an ostrich: pretending to know nothing, imagining that everything would solve itself.
The heroine struggles between the new and the old, and chooses a new love, thinking that she has conformed to her inner choice. The long shot of running away from home is heartwarming. If you thought this was the kind of educational film that encourages people to "follow your heart", you'd be wrong. In the second half of the story, it took a sharp turn, and a few scenes showed the process of a relationship from passion to burnout vividly. The new will eventually grow old. If you can't learn to manage your own feelings, the warm waltz will eventually become a lonely tango.
The wisdom of life lies not in discovering new things, but in cherishing existing people, things and things. It is the most precious thing that lasts for a long time.
