how to say? It can be regarded as a qualified movie adaptation. After all, as a movie adapted from a best-selling novel, as long as there are not too many discrepancies, it will be considered a pass. I’ve never been too fond of movies adapted from best-selling novels. Others think it’s okay if the novel is well-written, but if it’s not well-corrected, others will think that the director is not good, or it’s because the novel was originally written well. .
The male protagonist of the novel is a reporter himself. It is better to say that he is a reporter than an author (a person who makes a living by writing). He has his own column and writes other people's stories, just like his wife's evaluation of him in the movie, He is an "old-fashioned person" who stubbornly maintains his family's life in his own way, and insists on writing columns in paper newspapers, although he has a clear understanding of the work he does ( The confession at the beginning of the movie), but when others try to pierce him, he will still try his best to maintain his position.
The male protagonist has a rule of his own - never bring his work back to his life, just like where he lives, open a small door on a busy street and walk through a narrow street. There is a separate house with a small courtyard behind the passage between the two houses. When he opens that small door, he will forget all his life outside, and he will leave all his stories before returning home. Clean up, this is the life the male protagonist has been living. If he continues to live like this, there will be no problems, and there will be no novels and movies.
Everything changed until the male protagonist violated his own rules and strayed into the story. Just like Alice strayed into Wonderland, he could no longer be independent from the story, even when he first saw the girl. When he was with the Lord, his life changed radically, and he became a part of the story. This change is complete, from a model husband to a cheating person, even involving his own family, even his independent and out-of-the-world hut is not immune. In the end, even the When I walked out of the story, I had to completely leave my original life.
But the male protagonist is still the male protagonist. Although he is in the story, he still cannot change his own nature. He is still the one who observes, and he still observes everyone in the story. This nature is the driving force for the film to continue to develop. But what the male protagonist hopes is to live his own life from other people's stories, and finally he comes out and has a new beginning. But another person, the heroine's ex-husband, went into the abyss. What he said was really the truth of others, and this truth was his own illusion, which eventually led him to destruction. The heroine, as the only observed person, is a tragedy.
Living in a world of beings will eventually be destroyed.
