| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Too real, too good, not what you think it is |
| I played the personals a lot in in my own life, but I did find a woman that I have happily shared my life that way. I expected this film to be the usual light comedy about the personals with a happy romantic ending.
However, this movie is about so much more than that. This movie is about loneliness, separation, the lack of love and the fear it brings into our personal life. This movie is about how in the modern alienated society we are separated in little cubicles blind to each other, screaming for love inside, mute, proper, and cold on the outside. What comes through best in the many inappropriate people our heroine meets is not their silliness or inappropriateness, but the pain in their wanting. What comes through is how in observing their complete unconcern for our heroine, who she is, what she wants, what she enjoys, our heroine feels numbed, frozen deserted in a desert of boredom. They are cut off from real love, real affection, and real inimacy, just as we believe our heroine is also desperately cut off from her feelings and needs, having left her job, spending her time meeting countless men from the ads in a tea house. Even the one man who is a friend of hers, not a lover, a married doctor with a child, opens up to her that he is not really who she thinks he is in the most intimate of ways. All along we know our heroine has a sickness in the heart that we don't exactly know about that she reveals in telephone messages she leaves every morning, for whom we don't know, and why she gets no returns we learn at the end. In a way, the process here is like mourning, getting the hubris of loneliness, the sadness of so many useless men out of her system to highlight the pain and separation our heroine and the rest of us face hen we seek love. There is more that unfolds that I can tell. We must leave you to see this movie. The acting here is super, especially if you like good character acting. I found one of the most touching of her suitors to be the school teacher in his 50s maybe because I am a college teacher in my fifties. He doesn't know what to say, is so unused to a social occaision that he brings his own soda to the tea house, and proposes marriage without asking a word from our heroine. Even after she tells him how inappropriate this is, without even mentioning he is 20 years older than she is, he wants he to make arrangements to meet his parents in th South of China. The pain on his face, the insistent sincerity, the way you feel all of him is engaged, even though he is completely lost, really hit me. He says all of that, but you can tell by his face how desperately he wants that, how crazily he wants her love, how empty his life has been of affection. After writing this review, I think I better see this movie again tonight. |
