What is love, dopamine exuberantly secreted, valid for 13 months. What about marriage? It can only be to burn the perfect youth for a wife. You see, we usually call the other half so sweet when we are in love, but when we are in a besieged city, we are just a companion.
In fact, this can not be blamed for the lack of long-term people's hearts. Ancestors living in nature can live a better life only if they have a sensitive response to stimuli, and for the same long-term stimulus, slowly tired and unresponsive can save energy to the greatest extent and lead to a better life. On another level, the whole point of biological existence is to reproduce as many offspring as possible, allowing tiny genetic variations to accumulate to form a better population. Therefore, if a male mates with a female animal from one end to another, the utilization and allocation of resources will be too low. Therefore, the eager heart lurking in the chests of both men and women is a legacy left by the long evolution. Whether you suppress it or not, you must admit its existence.
So Ludford said to his son-in-law at the very beginning, look at that woman's legs, perfect! I always keep these images in my head and call them out when I need to close my eyes. This is how he maintains the passion in his life with his wife, which we usually call spiritual infidelity.
Of course, the director is not satisfied to put the entire storyline on the spiritual level, so there is an amazing theory behind it, which is devoted to all kinds of reality, and develops a shocking but not unreasonable theory-perfect cheating can save a marriage . Timely putting aside the jaw-dropping mistress and the male protagonist who don't know why they got the blessings of Qi Ren, this alone is enough to make this film shine.
We often say that after living together for a long time, the ideas will gradually become similar. When looking at the back, when Rudford's wife died in a car accident, and Rudford regretted that he had cheated more than 100 times, the film inevitably fell into an old-fashioned pattern; especially when Rudford's daughter began to talk about her mother's various indiscretions to him. How to be tolerant, it really makes people wonder what else to watch in this film if it is not for the good figure of the heroine. However, at this moment, the director changed his style, and Lu Deford discovered his wife's lover who had been dating for 5 years! ! ! From magnanimous reverence to mutual understanding, the story becomes much more interesting in an instant. And when the male protagonist finally couldn't resist the temptation of the charming mistress and threw himself into his arms, the director had the opportunity to add a scene of his wife and his old lover cuddling. I have always felt that this film is very similar to the idea of our photography work. When you think that some people are victims, standing on a moral height, suddenly it shows you the truth - no one is a so-called good person, so The reversal is really smooth.
The whole film gives people a feeling of justifying the extramarital affair. Of course, we shouldn't criticize it a priori
. This is not good. At the end of the film, it just shows a happy ending. The male protagonist solved the imminent conflict between his wife and the mistress, and Lu Deford rescued his son-in-law and successfully pocketed the number one beauty in the film. The original mistress lived together harmoniously. At the same time, Xin enjoys the passion of being with a lover.
Vaguely, there is a story played by Zeng Zhiwei. Several brothers made an appointment to take the time of their wives to go out together to find some fun. The whole film is that they cheated several times and failed. In the end, they were about to be revealed by their own wife. It was Zeng Zhiwei's wife who informed several men in time to let them escape. Although such an ending is eye-catching, it is embarrassing. It just tells the audience that marriage requires management and moderate forbearance.
Look at Ye Nianchen's cruel love trilogy, each of which is a major reversal in the last 3 minutes, shattering all your expectations for a beautiful love. But in the end, what it conveys is nothing more than the pessimism and despair of "can't believe in love", and even the contempt and resentment for those hot men and women. However, this film is very different. It says that love is beautiful, but you can't follow the rules. Who said that those feelings that go against the secular morality are destined to be destroyers and cannot be beautiful?
A lie that can be solved to the end is a beautiful story. As long as life is happy and interesting, it should be viewed with a tolerant attitude. Why is monogamy reasonable and unique? Under the walking marriage tradition of the minority ethnic groups in Yunnan, the children don't even know who their father is, and they live happily ever after? Can you say that such a marriage system is bad, or that these people are low-level people without morality? We always have preconceived notions when it comes to moral judgment. In fact, when you carefully prove the rationality of these so-called morals, you can't find a strong reason, right?
Han Han publicly stated that as long as his spouse does not object, both men and women should have multiple partners. And the reason he married his wife was that she was generous enough to share her husband with other women. The master of aesthetics Zhu Guangqian also has the same idea, and the couple is tacit, and the marriage is very happy. However, the happy ending in the film is only a light and shadow record after all. In reality, it is always a dangerous thing to throw stones to ask for directions in the midst of a crusade. He was devastated to face the media that caught his extramarital affair.
At the end, Ludford takes his grandson (for the time being, it’s actually hard to determine whose child he is, but people think he is a grandson, right? It’s good not to have so many blood entanglements?) . Ludford cut the chains at the gate of the playground and slid onto the roller coaster. In the face of Sun Tzu's doubts, he finally said the finishing touch of the whole film: "If everything follows the rules, what's the point of life!"
