The beginning is amazing and the ending is wonderful, but the lack of content in the middle as a strong support makes the film a bit empty. Good idea, but the screenwriter didn't handle the rhythm of the drama well, making the film abrupt and even a little superficial.
The film's shooting skills and the use of lens language are commendable, making up for the screenwriter's lack of story and complex. However, several subjective shots are too obvious, and the imposed directorial thinking makes the audience uncomfortable and oppressive. A good theatrical idea was ruined in the hands of the screenwriter, and the film lacked the classic Gideon element. It is a pity that the peculiar ideas that appeared vaguely at the beginning were not used skillfully in the development of the story. Greek obituaries, people only ask "Did he have a passion" after death, this feeling is not caught by the screenwriter, the beginning and the end are so subtle, but not enough to make up for the lack of plot. The characters are slightly thin, not full and three-dimensional enough, the writing strength is not strong, and the plot setting is too obvious, which weakens the sense of romance and destiny.
It's a pity that such a loving foothold has been changed beyond recognition by the screenwriter and director. It's not that bad, just a little disappointed.

    The female protagonist on HBO has a heavy forehead tattoo, but the plot is good. It's a touch of sweetness.

    A good romantic comedy. A romantic story must be supported by a logical structure that can be justified in order to be romantic. This film is like that.
