①A copy of the Italian classic "Perfect Stranger", what's the difference between this version and the original? Is it the same as painting a scoop? Or find another way?
②In recent years, Spain has produced a lot of excellent works, I hope this time will continue to make great progress.
③The focus of attention is on the group play. In short, it is to see whether the performance of the actors can make the audience instantly enter the play.

①High imitation
Almost all the settings are exactly the same as the original version, without the slightest deviation. Friends who have seen the Italian version, skip this one, it is really "insufficient in novelty" (fast forward it).
②Perfect fusion
Perfect script + perfect actors + perfect soundtrack
Perfect dialogue + perfect drama + perfect comedy
It all comes together to create this remake of this classic.
③The actors are dazzling
In this type of work, the actors are the key.
Living in a confined space, relying on character dialogue and body language to advance the plot, the actors sit around together, hurricane acting, which is enjoyable and pleasing to the eye.
After watching
①Humanity considerations
Never test human nature, this is advice and even more of an exhortation. Because human nature can never stand the test, if someone tries to take this step, then the result must be failure! Why so sure? There are three reasons.
First, as recorded in the Bible (Romans): there is no one righteous, not even one. (In other words: all people sin, all human beings are filthy, and there is not a single innocent person)
Second, people often go their own way, covet the world, be perplexed by the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of this life, and eventually find it difficult to self-examine.
Third, it is difficult for people to escape the disturbance of "human weakness" from beginning to end, such as arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, lust and gluttony. In the face of these seven deadly sins, who can get away with it?
②The secret of the mobile phone
As the functions of mobile phones become more and more advanced,
When the storage function of mobile phones becomes more and more powerful,
When people today can't live without mobile phones,
Have we ever thought about a question, what does mobile phone bring to people?
a, alienation and indifference between people (the bow-headed people)
b, the decline of privacy (like a transparent person)
c, information explosion (orthodox, trail)
From the author's point of view, the mobile phone has given us a lot, but it has made us lose more. dont you agree?
③ "Love you" and "You love"
Qiu Haizheng once sang a song, "The One Who Loves Me and the One I Love", there is a phrase in it, which I still remember fresh, "The person who loves me is infatuated with me and does not regret it, but I am willing to live my life for the person I love. Sadness...the one who loves me gives everything for me, but I cry, frenzy and heartbreak for the one I love..."
The mood of this song is quite similar to the film! The person you love is not necessarily the only one who loves you; the person who loves you is not necessarily your favorite. It is from this logic that there are two situations in the film.
a, both husband and wife cheated on their own
b. One of the couples cheated on the man's (/woman's) best friend
This collocation is not rare in reality, and there are many marriages that exist in name only. In this impetuous world, it is not an easy task to find the one you love (the one and only) and let the one and only he/she love you!
End of review.
