The narrative technique of the film is very characteristic. It adopts the technique of parallel montage, and the life scenes of the protagonist's past and present are constantly alternated. The two different life scenes are intertwined, which makes a sharp contrast between the beauty of the past and the pain of today. The director's sweet description of the previous part of the relationship is quite in place, such as the scene of the couple dancing on the street, showing the joyful and sweet love life, etc., such as the sudden surprise of the heroine when she meets her ex-boyfriend and the beginning of rejection in her heart Later, the reconciliation with his ex-boyfriend was inseparable. In fact, the director wanted to express the lack of the inner feelings of the protagonist and his wife through the externalized scene lens language, that is, the difference in life values.
The lines in the movie are simple and moving, as Dean said: I didn't want to be just anyone's husband, nor just the father of my children, that's not my life's goal, it's someone else's ideal, not mine, but Regardless, it turned out to be what I wanted and I didn't realize it. This is what I want. I don't want to do anything else, just do this. This passage summarizes the real inner world of a man and the fact that it has been changed by reality.

    What a good man, he accepts her who is pregnant with other people's children, and treats other people's children like his own, but it's a pity that he is too idealistic, has no career, and is a little chatty

    Love will blur the distance between two people, compromise and sacrifice are willing. But life will only enlarge the gap between the two and make a relationship out of control. I don't blame her for reality, she wants stability, she looks forward to the future of this man; I don't blame him for being impetuous, what he wants is passion, what he misses is the past of this woman. A successful marriage is to maintain a balance between love and life, so that two people are always at a reachable distance.
