The tone of the film is sombre, much like the world of Raymond Chandler, where everyone is abnormal and has untold secrets. Everyone lives in a daze, exhausted from life.
The film unfolds from the different perspectives of three women. I understand Emily Bronte's role as Rachel very much. Rachel was hit hard for some reason, so she got drunk, lost her job, and was alienated from other people. The more she struggled, the deeper she fell. , so she can only live in her own fantasy, imagining strangers as the perfect couple in her fantasy, but also to escape from reality, do not want the current life, want to live a completely different life, want to have the perfect lover, regret The thing is that reality is different from fantasy. Everyone has all kinds of problems. It’s just that we don’t understand the pain of others, so we can’t rely on others to get salvation. In the end, Rachel finally solved the problem to a certain extent by herself. Her question, I think the author may be trying to express, everyone's problem is useless to escape, and can't wait for the redemption of others. Only by facing it firmly can we finally get out of the predicament.
The men in the movie are basically scumbags, selfish, paranoid, indifferent, violent, jealous, conceited, etc. They seem to live only for their biological instincts, I don't know what the author has experienced...
Psychiatrist is the only warm color, not much ink, but impressive, maybe an idealized character. However, the description of his appearance is very interesting. He is tall, thin, handsome, and his movements are lazy. Is this the same kind of aesthetic in the West? Rare, hehe, the actor who plays the psychiatrist is also very handsome and gentle~
These psychological problems in the movie are a bit cliché, but the eternal Freudian themes of early family changes, infertility, the loss of a young child, teenage pregnancy, etc., are not new.
The reasoning is good-looking, the actors acted well, and it is a movie worth watching.
