"The Object of My Affection": A New Form of Emotional Life for Men and Women

A GAY man was dumped by his beloved boyfriend. A straight daughter who has no plans to marry the boyfriend she is dating. The former was deeply hurt and moved to live with the straight daughter.



With constant contact, GAY men and straight women appreciate each other and make a commitment to treat each other as family. The straight daughter found out that she was pregnant, but was still determined not to marry the child's father. They are not the right couple. GAY man promises to stay with straight daughter forever and help her raise children.

The conflict started when a GAY man met his beloved and took him home for fun. The straight daughter felt emotionally betrayed, and after some deliberation, she let go of the GAY man with a heartache.

At the end of the film, the straight daughter has her own partner, but she is not a husband in the sense of marriage. The GAY man and his beloved live together, but they are still friends like family with the straight daughter. The father of the child has already understood the views of the straight daughter, and is happy to be the father of the child who is not in the same marriage as the child's mother.

The first part of the film is like a normal soap opera, except that the straight girl's boyfriend's character is humorous, and the plot is a bit dull, mainly focusing on the emotional development of the straight girl and the GAY man. In the latter part, when the GAY man meets his beloved, the conflict between the characters reaches a climax. The emotions between people, and the relationship between love and ways of getting along are deeply reflected. There is both genuine emotion and helpless contentment. "A man should not be too hard on himself if the person he loves responds with less enthusiasm than expected". At the end of the film, the relationship between people completely accepts the different degrees of love between them, and everyone gets the greatest joy and happiness in their relationship.

The emotional life between men and women has a new form, and is no longer restricted to the form of marriage, because love and freedom are the first.

Watching this film, I am very impressed with the growing environment of American teenagers, mainly the sexual troubles in the growth process, and they can freely talk and discuss with others. The second is to lament the tolerance and understanding of the Americans towards comrades in the film. The most touching thing is the song at the end of the credits, "trying to solve my own confusion".

Jennifer Anniston is very moving, I just didn't feel that way when looking at her photos before. In addition, I feel that the translation of the title is inappropriate, and I think "My Emotional Dream" is more appropriate.

    Aniston looks great in every outfit and every hairstyle.... 90s New York was awesome! The whole play has a heavy sense of drama, with the feeling of a French chatter.
