The first half was a little dull, like a process of forming depression. People's unhappiness always accumulates. Sadness, disappointment and other unpleasant emotions accumulate silently in daily life, and then suddenly swept in like a storm that covers the sky at a certain moment. The collapse is always instantaneous.
The emotional expression in the second half is wonderful, and the slow-paced front part seems to be the foreshadowing of this.
What time are you over there, as if asking others, you are actually asking yourself. Xiaokang, Xiaokang's mother, and Xiangqi each have two hours.
After Xiaokang met Xiangqi, he had infinite reverie about Paris. He rented a video about Paris, adjusted the time of the watch to the time of Paris, and chased the time of Paris in his heart through these methods.
After her husband passed away, Xiaokang's mother changed to eat at midnight. She believed that there was a time when she could meet her husband again.
After Xiangqi came to Paris, she couldn't sleep every night. She wandered in this strange city alone and couldn't communicate with others because of the language barrier, so she always called Xiaokang's phone, looking forward to getting in touch with Taiwan time.
Everyone belongs to two times, one is the real time, and the other is the time that the heart wants to go.
All three tried to erase the loneliness and anguish caused by this gap between reality and heart. Xiaokang has sex with a strange woman in the car, her mother masturbates in her father's bedroom, and Xiangqi sleeps in bed with a woman she meets by chance. They thought that just through sex, companionship, and comfort, they could go to the time they longed for, but they all failed. Do they really know what time it is in the deepest part of their hearts?
No, they don't know. So they can only feel the unbearable loneliness, the unbearable loneliness that cannot be healed.
