"I'm not smart and not good-looking, why do you like me?"

This is the first time I saw stop-motion animations that are not suitable for children, and the topics discussed are also not suitable for children.

Lisa said that he hadn't been in love for 8 years, and the only time he fell in love was a 60-year-old married boss. She is at the bottom of society, with scars on her face, and she can't even find the job of a waiter. Michael is a successful person and a well-known writer. Everyone can call his name wherever he goes. He suddenly left his ex-girlfriend, and 10 years later, he still misses her. It can be seen that he is not abusive. He said that he had a mental illness before leaving her, which is not a sincere reason for his ex-girlfriend to leave.

When he heard a female voice, Lisa was different from everyone's voice, and he lost control. Ten years later, he once again found that unique person who could "cure" his illness, that unique existence for him. He was so afraid of losing her and he had nightmares again and again. And he still lost her, because the perfect and unique she he wanted didn't actually exist.

There is no perfect and unique partner in the world.

For Lisa, she likes Michael because she has not been treated tenderly for a long time, like a long-hungry person who meets a table of big meals. She thought that she had met someone who knew her, and allowed him to walk into her heart. However, they are not equal. Even if Lisa's voice makes him feel special, when he gets used to her voice and her other behavior makes him unhappy, Lisa no longer has any attraction to him. On the side of the weak relationship between the two, she can do nothing except apologize for the behavior that she did not do wrong.

She asked him, "I'm not smart and not good-looking, why do you like me?" She has no experience and regards meeting Michael as the most important thing in her life. She will never forget him for the rest of her life. And he remembers all the important people in life, loves him, and the people he loves as a face.

Although I really want to say that if you don’t study and work well, you can only stay at the bottom of the society and be deceived by "scumbags". You still think people will be good for a lifetime. The threshold of satisfaction with men is raised like an index, and you will never find a good target for a lifetime. . However, everyone has their own way of living. The bottom of society does not work hard, and becoming the top of society may not always be happy and happy.

    The movie as a whole gives people a weird sense of discomfort, perhaps due to the lag and stiffness of the stop motion animation, perhaps due to the high simulation of the character's facial details, or perhaps due to the unified sound setting. Reminiscent of "Lost in Tokyo" and "In the Clouds", the topic of discussion is still the eternal loneliness of mankind and the futile attempt to resist vulgarity. The process of Lisa becoming an ordinary person is desperate, and it seems to symbolize that all good things are fleeting.

    Saw it at the cinema. There were only two people in the cinema. That person is a woman. that's all.
