lie or reality

Came to worship this film after various recommendations:

Slightly disappointed after reading it. The whole film feels dull, but the contrast of various light and shadows is very clever. When it comes to the plot, maybe because I haven't experienced love and marriage, I don't quite agree with the main point conveyed in the film. The wife grows suspicious as her husband begins to recall his long-dead ex, and sees himself as a replacement for the husband's dead ex. I don't think there are alternatives. Some people love the same kind of person all their lives, with the same hair color, the same face shape, and a similar personality. Are you saying this can be called a substitute? It should not be, it should only be counted as the consistency of preferences for the other half's choice. Back to the point where the heroine was tangled. Do you think people can really forget their ex and don't care about anything? It's impossible. The past feelings have existed, the memories have also existed, and the past experiences will not change. When people get old, they can't help but start to like to recall the past. Yes, you are indeed inferior to a dead person, but the past is the past, people are no longer there, why should you compete with the people around you because of a dead person. Maybe because I'm not a psychiatrist, I take my husband's 45 years of company more seriously. The warmth of 45 years of real life cannot be deceived. I believe that companionship is the longest confession of love, and the warmth of reality is even more touching.

    ...the emptiness of old age for the middle-class Dink couple...

    45 years is not just about marriage, but life. The truth of marriage and love is approaching, that is, a fable approaching the truth of life. All this is due to the smoke filling your eyes. The processing of the film is very delicate and precise, and the shots, pictures, and performances of the actors are all clues. Especially the sound design of the title is really shocking when it is revealed in the latter part.
