About Soul-Mate

The concept of soulmate in the film is very good, but the handling method is not satisfactory. Although it is a success as a love commercial film, it is full of loopholes when carefully studied.

First, if two people can experience each other’s impact and pain, and when they touch themselves, they can transmit it to another person’s experience, then they should also be able to control each other’s bodies. The sense of touch itself is inseparable from physical actions. In this way, why do you need to overlap with vision to observe the car parts or door lock structure, and then use auditory communication to tell you how to repair or unlock the car, and direct the soul to control the body of the other party.

Second, the conversation between the two is entirely about holding a phone or adding a skype video chat at most. If it is a soul-mate, there is no need to make a sound for spiritual perception, right? Vocalization itself is an act of expressive communication to face the world around you. This telephonic telepathy is all about adding drama, depicting the two as lunatics in the eyes of outsiders, and also to eliminate the loneliness of the individual, it seems that the two can coexist with each other and form a small world , resist external hostility and pressure.

Third, the mutual influence of emotions is also unreasonable. If emotions are related to personal experience, environment, and physical feelings, how can emotions be transmitted to each other only by the intercommunication of souls? This concept completely ignores the existence of the body and the influence of the surrounding environment on the person. It assumes a soul that is detached from physical existence and physical perception while maintaining its integrity, but does not explain clearly why this is so. One soul can synchronize with the body and communicate with another soul.

Finally, I complained that the heroine is an enlarged version of Barbie. She looks sweet, her eyes are docile and dull, and her voice is childish and lacking in strength. The whole film basically treats her as an ornament that attracts the audience's sexual interest. Only at the end she punches her. The husband is more energetic; the male protagonist is also better in appearance than acting. The fairness of this film is that not only the female protagonist is portrayed as a little girl, but the male protagonist is also a young boy who is in love, completely immature.
