Facing the sealed jar, she picked up the sharps

First of all, I have to admit that after watching this film, I immediately turned off the lights, opened an pornographic film, closed my eyes and listened, so that my spirit was gradually relieved. Compared with the love story of more than two hours, the A-movie is really too simple, no wonder there is something to say that sex is the ultimate skill of God to interrupt human thinking.

A love movie that made me physically uncomfortable just by kissing a little mushroom in a dress, a pure Oscar that made me have to use porn to purify my soul, what's the problem?

Let’s start with the male protagonist. He's had a modest career, and despite his graying hair, the studio is still besieged by bloated, unhinged, alcoholic rich women. It took him most of his life to polish the gears of his life perfectly, but he still felt that he was not satisfied enough, so he was more harsh on life: the food that must be eaten, even accurate to the ingredients; no surprises; his time and work are extremely precious ;Rely on talent and pride, and even use body as the standard to measure women...

He does lack maternal love, but he can retain so much trickery, which means that he is always in the doting of his sister without knowing it. This unawareness makes him think that he is absolutely in control of life and does not need tenderness and care, forming a tyrant style. Before the heroine appeared, of course he was not a "person" tailored for her, but after falling in love, the worldview that had not been shaken for most of his life trembled. Facing huge changes in size, even if he wanted to change, it would be difficult for him to achieve it quickly. .

This is the precondition for the male protagonist, well, no wonder he.

The heroine is a waiter who is extremely delicate, but is not good at expressing herself and comes from a humble background. In the years when the male protagonist was polishing the gears of life, she swallowed inferiority in her chaotic life. She didn't think she was good-looking - but he thought everything was fine. At least that's what he said!

Even if you only get a lottery ticket that is untrue or false, the instinct of the poor is firmly grasped in your hands first.

The preconditions for the heroine are also finished, no wonder she. Speaking of which, is it possible to blame love?

It's these few details that bother me the most.

1. Restaurants

Under the circumstance of completely ignorant, but fell in love with the body at first sight, the male protagonist fulfilled his obligation: in order to have a few more words with her, he ordered all the greasy food blurted out in the restaurant, and put the sentence I'm hungry. in front of this plate of food. You know, at this time, the heroine is just a clothes hanger to him, but the heroine is approaching him attentively. The food on his plate, his hunger, she saw with her own eyes. At the back, he hated and criticized these foods countless times, but the heroine insisted on doing so. Rather than "love someone the way I like", it's more of a destructive stubborn questioning -- was the first expression a lie? From being hungry to deciding not to touch it, to a complete denial of food, is it also for me?

Second, the relationship status

This rude but apt word must be offered: diarrhoea.

They were simply diasing each other.

Without the continuous destruction and influence of the heroine, he could hardly notice her. He seems to have incorporated her into his life as a cog, and then quietly walks around him, walks the catwalk for his designs (this is the supreme honor of his rules), and accepts the silence at the dinner table. Tough rules, accept every day the gloom that he has absolutely nothing to do with her, and then grow old like that.

In business, perhaps knowing the rules is enough. But intimacy, especially for people who have a long-term career, wants to have intimacy, then they must first have enough intimacy and understanding.

They lack understanding, they don't take the time to understand. Understanding is considered a sacrifice.

Sitting under the snowy mountains, he felt like a waste of time.

He saw that she looked too ugly, not only did he not correct it, but he also listened to other people's doubts about her.

Too much self-protection can be contagious. He insists that he doesn't want to change the days when he is the absolute center, for which he defends his "rules" vigorously, and she wears away the days when she is not sure that she is loved. After being reprimanded or rejected again and again, she started a methodical plan, from cooking greasy food, to deliberately making noise, to being hostile to every guest's unsatisfactory words...because she knew that she might not be like a princess. Excellent (despite the fact that he is indifferent to the princess, her inferiority is in plain sight in front of the princess), she chooses to use destructive means to get his attention, and to poison the extreme way to get his time.

She will not stop until she is sure that she is loved.

To put it nicely, it is about saving yourself within the relationship and finding new ways to get along.

To put it harshly, it means they are at odds with each other.

3. Confession

At first, she confessed twice in a row, but failed to get a response from him. The "i love you" that the two of them said face to face before marriage was too good-natured. Although trying to make the other person feel himself, the other person can only understand love based on his own cognition. This is simply the loneliest love I have ever seen. Of course, when he solemnly said i love you, his attitude was very trustworthy: it was just that he didn't intend to open the jar at first. What he thought was probably: the jar is rusted, it is too difficult to open, and it is enough for you.

Why?

When she met his "sealed jar", she was desperate to open it, and the sharp object in her hand would only get sharper and harder.

Fortunately, he finally understood it when she broke the secret.

In reality, people leave after leaving a sentence "We are not suitable". In the film, vomiting is already a poetic ending. As long as the female protagonist does not appear, the male protagonist can forever ignore his desire for maternal tenderness, but she did. Because love is greater than pain, he chooses pain. The pain comes from the contradiction of the prerequisites, but when he faces it, maybe it can be resolved, right?

Sick love relationships, airtight jars, women with sharps... make life as decent as it seems. Maybe like the male lead's porridge with whipped cream, there's nothing absolutely wrong with their relationship, but it's not in the category I'm willing to accept. So the people in this film, and the "similar to revolutionary struggle" that is naturally based on people, it really makes me feel too uncomfortable.

    As long as there is love, it can be abnormal. But the problem is that I don’t see much love. Men don’t have a heart here. In the end, they are so tired of women. The way women keep him is to turn him into a vulnerable child and then play the role of a mother. After all, it is a story that is essentially Oedipus... The man has always missed his mother, so when she poisoned him, he saw the phantom of his mother.

    If this is in China, if Reynolds no longer pretends to be strong, but shows a gentle, vulnerable, and honest side, so as to get the opportunity to take care of him, there is no need to risk poisoning, just find a restaurant or supermarket to buy some Sudan Red Eggs, waste oil hot pot, clenbuterol pork, melamine milk, methanol wine, stinky tofu, rat and mutton skewers, gelatin vermicelli, poisonous steamed buns, waxed apples, paper stuffed buns, and corpse oil Mala Tang will do.
