It's easier to get emotionally frustrated people to have fun, because it's a way of venting their emotions; but it's more difficult to get playboys to calm down, talk about feelings, and have a relationship, because long-term The game of life has already made them not believe in love. Just as the protagonist of the story did not dare to speak to the girl who was his childhood sweetheart and was snatched away, he chose to give up the idea of love and enjoy the fun. For him, women are playthings. After using tricks to trick him into bed, he turns around and leaves, leaving the woman who is truly moved to cry alone.
On the other hand, he is also afraid of investing in his feelings, for fear that the other party will hurt him, leave him, or even die of illness, and he doesn't know how to live. Excessive self-protection has made him far away from the emotional world. He only sees pure physical relationships in his eyes. After the one-night stand, he continues to hunt for the next day.
In fact, the reason why this playboy changed his temperament in one night, and even changed his attitude towards life, in the final analysis, is that the dusty love in his heart is still there. 20 years of game life, but it has not touched the depths of the heart, and it has continued to be the scenery on the surface. Until the younger brother is about to get married and the beloved woman appears, these emotions are mixed together, and there will naturally be some chemical reaction. Of course, the appearance of the ghosts as the subject of the film shows the past, present and future of his life, which makes him fully realize what he wants.
Therefore, although the ghosts are absurd, they are only catalysts. The important thing is that the playboy listens to his heart and makes his own choice, which can be regarded as a lesson for the audience. It's just that I really don't like McConaughey's virtue. He is too far from the two Affleck who were originally expected to play. I really don't see any sparks in using McConaughey to match Garner.
