Everyone wants to live forever, but time is very fair to the elderly, the annual ring of time can basically break everyone's inner defense line, even if people's expectations for age are still there, but still can't stop the pace of time. Physical differences can be smoothed out chemically, but mental growth is irreversible. Forever young, perhaps only in our expectations.
The movies recommended to you today are related to time, but not all about time. "Who Do You Think I Am" is a story that belongs to a middle-aged woman who longs to return to her youth. Claire lives alone with her two sons, single although she has a small boyfriend, but she can not find a sense of youth in the little boyfriend, this is not about the boyfriend, but Claire's own mentality is fully in line with her age.
After a certain passion, the little boyfriend seems to have disappeared, claire, who is eager to get spiritual comfort, has to work hard to find the clues of the little boyfriend, and Claire, who desperately wants to know the traces of the little boyfriend, can only pretend to be a young woman, in a vain attempt to get closer to the real life of the little boyfriend. Who knew that the little boyfriend was not willing to accept a stranger intruding into her life, Claire failed, and after the failure, she focused on the little boyfriend's good friend, the photographer Chris. Claire used all her means to successfully capture Chris.
Chris gradually fell in love with this online friend who had never met, Claire borrowed a photo of her niece to dress herself up fiercely, and then, the two gradually fell in love, at this moment Claire completely forgot her previous purpose, but Chris constantly invited to meet, making Claire in a trance and reality. Gradually, the emotional journey began to twist and turn, claire panicked and wanted to end the relationship, who knew that at this moment, accidents arose. Claire is confronted with a fact she does not want to accept, and the uncertain attitude of Chris on the other side, and Claire falls into deep thought.
As a contradiction, Claire deeply interprets a certain melancholy of women's age. In reality, Claire is an independent woman in everyone's eyes, she looks intellectual, and has a good social status, although divorced, but Claire living with two sons is still glamorous. But her accomplishments and exterior give her an edge over people her age. However, time is merciless, and even if Claire can beat everyone in his age group, she can't beat time. For young and beautiful women, Claire does not have a physical advantage. As a result, such a reality has become a "high wall" that she cannot overcome. However, the real-life Claire quickly finds a ladder.
The virtualization of social networks allows Claire to dress up her identity without being noticed. From her lack of interest in social networking sites to her complete obsession, Claire doesn't feel that blurring the boundaries between virtual and real is not a harm to her. As a new type of independent woman, Claire is admired in reality and doesn't care about getting older, but as a virtual character on social networking sites, Clara. Claire has transformed herself into the perfect lover in Chris's eyes.
The blurring of the boundaries of identity is not a good thing for Claire. Although it gives Claire an excitement, playing a young woman makes Claire's life rejuvenate for a second spring, but this second spring is an illusory existence. Clara's brilliance on social networking sites doesn't mask Claire's real loneliness. In the process of becoming Clara and deeply associating with Chris, Claire gains a young heart and a different kind of self-confidence, as if she is Clara herself, and is rejuvenated in life. But what is false is false.
When Chris was desperate to meet Claire, when Claire was really standing in front of Chris in reality, even though Claire looked at Chris affectionately, he didn't look at her more. Claire runs to meet Chris several times, but Chris uses the same attitude to completely defeat Claire, which happens in reality, even if Clara can help Claire find face in the virtual world, but the real Claire can not get into Chris's eyes. This is the source of her tragedy.
No matter how wonderful the disguise is, the day when Claire hurriedly ended on social media, she herself felt that she had completely hit Chris, and blamed herself for it, but when the truth broke, Claire not only broke the defense in reality, but also could not find the direction in the virtual. Claire, who wants a happy ending, even conjures herself up with a novel-like ending, but in reality she is still a person who will not interest Chris. Life still doesn't give claire a chance in reality because of the social network.
This film does not reflect Claire's problems as a woman, but a wake-up call to all those who want to find soul comfort through the virtual world. Age does not bring people the pressure of age itself, we can only accept the beauty of any age, life will be perfect. Everyone wants to rejuvenate, but the world doesn't need too many children, and people of every age have their own style. Only by accepting imperfection can we usher in perfection.
Claire lives freely in the illusion, but in reality it seems to be very defeated, in fact, it does not have to be so, life is like a journey, each scenery is unique, enjoy the whole process, contradictions will not arise naturally.
