I must rant

The reason for this film review comes from a debate between me and my friends: whether the love between the hero and heroine is romantic or not.

Friends feel romantic, I feel disgusted.

First I thought of an analogy:

You entered a big company, signed a labor contract, high wages and good benefits, other people are busy with various jobs every day, and you only need to eat, drink, watch TV shows and play with your mobile phone, but after a long time you feel bored and lament that work is really boring , no one accompanies me on the waves, and no one understands my pursuit.

At this time, you found a small company that understands your ideals and pursuits, with low wages and benefits and free working hours, but you like it very much.

This small company clearly knows that you have a labor contract, and still asks you to go to a small company every day. So you take two wages and benefits, work in a small company, and sometimes hold back the big company.

Later, a colleague suspected that you had hooked up with other companies. You were afraid of the incident, so you immediately broke with the small company and prepared to return to the big company to work seriously.

But the big company has already discovered what you have done and forced you to go back to work, and then the small company urged you to report that the big company violated your right to free choice, and ran away with you, even without a resignation report... ...

If you think that the "you" in the metaphor, all actions are legitimate and reasonable, then you don't have to look down.

The first is a friend's point of view: Becky and Philip are not a loving couple, Fei does not understand Becky's real needs, a person whose original family is unhappy and is regarded as a mentally ill person needs more careful care and companionship, while Fei didn't do it.

He gave Becky a rich material life, but ignored her spiritual world. Becky was out of tune with the upper class, like a vase that Fei married home to decorate the facade.

When she was with Dylan, Becky was the real happiness, she didn't have to worry about doing anything, and their unique perceptions were in common, which was predestined by fate and could not be separated.

My rebuttal: First of all, Becky and Fei are really not in love, because Becky doesn't love Philip at all, she only married Fei because she needed someone to take care of herself and let her get rid of the shadow of the past (the role of marrying Philip is the movie The heroine's self-report).

But she has always been in a self-closed state. From meeting Dylan to the later period, she never thought about telling Fei about Dylan's existence.

Then she talked to herself from time to time, in Fei's opinion, it was a mental illness again.

The chat between Becky and Dylan probably started to deteriorate when Becky went to Fei for lunch and was rejected.

Becky only let down her guard during the exchange with Dylan, and then the intimacy deteriorated. The emotional balance in her heart has begun to tilt, so after she messed up the fundraising banquet, Fei asked her what happened, and she refused to do anything. Instead, she prevaricates with specious words (she told Fei that she was lost and was "shedding").

(Whispering, Faye had told Becky before this that the fundraising party was important, but Becky was still "on the phone" with Dylan at the party, causing Immersion to screw up the party and Faye afterwards. There was nothing wrong with her questioning, because Becky had a "conviction", so Fey wondered if something had happened.)

One of the things that went too far was that as soon as Becky and Fei finished exercising, she went to "call" Dylan, and she became ambiguous as she talked.

Hello, can you two still remember Becky's real husband lying in the bedroom?

After that, Becky and Dylan's daily chats became more and more explicit. Dylan, how often do you ask people about their sex life and whether her husband is violent or not? Are you really not ashamed? Of course, you can also say, These are small things in Europe and America.

Then there's the part of the godfather, isn't this a replica of "video sex"? Isn't this marital infidelity?

It's sweet, what is it?

It is said that Becky and Philip's marriage is not happy, then Becky can get a divorce, and divorce if she is not happy for so many years.

I feel that Philip doesn't have time to spend with Becky, but think about it carefully, if Philip is not busy with work, so that Becky has no worries, how can she have so much time to chat with Dylan.

One of the important factors for Becky and Dylan to warm up their relationship is that Philip provides Becky with sufficient material needs.

If Becky and Dylan are just as exhausted and need work, how can they get so much time to appreciate and share each other's lives, they will only be dismissed by the boss as a lunatic like Dylan.

This is like a lotus flower that blooms in a pond, always thinking that the pond is fine and that it can survive well. Then it fell in love with the Haloxylon syringae tree in the desert, and felt that the life of the desert and the blazing sun was what it wanted, and then turned around and complained that it was the pond that hindered it.

Besides, the marriage relationship between Becky and Fei is indeed unhappy, because they have almost no communication, because Becky is reluctant to talk, and Philip has no time to listen.

After discovering that Becky's behavior was abnormal, Fei contacted a psychiatrist to prepare for Becky's treatment. This is because Becky has been hospitalized before because of mental problems (at that time, she didn't know it was a common sense, and Fei doesn't know now), so in Philip's view, Becky has a mental problem.

Before she knew about Dylan's existence, Becky thought so too, so when she communicated with Dylan for the first time, she thought it was an illusion.

Then there is nothing to blame for Philip's behavior.

In the end, Becky planned to go back and live a good life with Fei, but was locked in a small dark room.

First of all, I declare that explaining the behavioral logic of this method does not mean that I agree with Philip's behavior.

Because Philip felt that Becky had a relapse of her old illness, she was talking to herself abnormally, but at this time someone told him that Becky's abnormal behavior was because she had cheated, and he didn't know that Becky was going to turn back.

So he put Becky in a mental hospital for treatment, one possibility is that he thinks Becky is cheating with the person he imagined (because the hospital is a regular mental hospital, and the doctor is his former partner), another possibility is It was he who thought that Becky was derailed because of mental problems.

ps: When I saw the end of this movie, my face was full of question marks. Philip didn't do it properly, so his wife and other men ran away.

But Becky cheated in marriage, Dylan seduced married women, robbed a car and other accidents, don't you need to be punished! ! !
