The film is divided into two parts, Part1 "Right then, Wrong then" and Part2 "Right then, Wrong then".
Looking back on all kinds of things in life, we often feel regret afterwards. Whether we are faced with "choose one from two" or "multiple choice questions", we always feel that if we had made another decision, the result would definitely be different. There is really a return button, changing the original choice, will the result really be different?
Faced with this almost unanswerable question, director Hong Sangxiu made this rather experimental film, and he formulated a very interesting hypothesis: the people, events, times, places, and things in these two parts are all the same. There are only very small differences, but it is a completely different story.
And I will like this film very much, not only because the director has made the relationship between men and women very delicate, but also because the director tells the story from a third-person perspective without any criticism, and combines all the details of the relationship with the The choice is left to the audience to think freely.
The ending of Part 1 brought the audience a very regretful feeling, while the sincerity of Part 2 can be memorable. Although there is always a wrong decision in this relationship, making mistakes at different points in time makes people feel The aftertaste is completely different.
The very slightest difference is in the "sincere".
In Part 1, men and women have too many scruples. Although the frequency is similar and attracts each other, they are trying to hide something, so they both lose in such a relationship that can't be candid, and in the end they can only miss it with regret each other.
The men and women in Part 2 choose to be sincere, and both of them honestly express their appreciation. Although this relationship can only be a misunderstanding after all, we will go our separate ways as soon as tomorrow arrives, but we can cherish this short time even more because of our honesty. Even if I feel regret, I can say "It's good to know you" with warmth in my heart. After turning around, all I have left are pink memories.
I think in this story, the married director and the unmarried female artist have no ending is the best ending, this relationship can only be regarded as a mistake; but in the second story, I don’t know why I hope this A wrong love can be achieved. Although compared to the hasty ending of the first story, the second story has a relatively complete ending, but it is even more disappointing.
In the second story, the two shook hands and said goodbye in the cold winter. There was no more physical contact, but from the smiles on their faces, it was known that the throbbing in their hearts would last for a long time. For a long time; when the female artist walked out of the museum after reading the works of the male director, there was a thick layer of white snow on the ground, and she walked lightly on the snow and seemed very satisfied; this short-lived relationship may not meet again in this life, but The emotions that the two have collected in their hearts must be like the bottle of banana milk held by the female artist when they first met, which is warm and memorable.
Sometimes, when we feel sorry, we blame the past self for the decision, but the so-called fate is that all the results have already been decided, so what we should do is not just blame the past self, but in the next time. When you meet or reunite, choose the "better choice", even if the result is regret, let your future self savor those emotions; just like this man and woman, although they are in a wrong love after all, they are still in love with each other. It's not the same regret.
If it's wrong anyway, make it at the right time.
