When she walked out of the movie theater, many people around her were still reading Shanghainese lines, and Lisa knew that the movie "Love Myth" was out of the circle.
The most appropriate evaluation of this movie, I think, is: comfortable.
"Love Myth" is a work that tells love and life in a relaxed, exquisite and unique tone in Shanghai, and outlines the new screen image of women with a trickle of shots.

In the movie, many scenes are very interesting.
The design of the three women, with a bit of gender inversion, jumps out of the conventional frame and barriers.
Miss Li, who lived a single life with her daughter, quietly ran away after a one-night stand, leaving the man alone to struggle and think.
Gloria, a rich woman living in reality, shouted "rich and idle, husband is missing", admired Lao Bai, but after knowing the other party's intentions, dashing away.
Bei Bei is Lao Bai's ex-wife, and the reason for the divorce between the two is very simple: "I just made the mistake that men all over the world will make, why can't they forgive me, but want to divorce me." 」 ”
If viewed with a harsh eye, the three of them can even be called "scumbags", but how can this not be a real mature, vivid and flexible character? As Shao Yihui, director of "Love Myth", said, she wants to create some mature women who are outside of everyone's conventional thinking.
The audience did not stand on the moral height, but followed the plot and fell in love with the three women.
In addition to the character image, the portrayal of love in this film is also a little different.
The women in the movie completely subvert our stereotype of middle-aged people falling in love, and women can not be trapped by "whether he loves me or not", but can leave the scene at any time, and "love enemies" feel sorry for each other and understand each other.
Middle-aged love can also not be bound by children, no longer bind love and family, and blindly seek perfection. They are well-founded, deal with emotions with ease, and all decisions are calm and self-sufficient.

In conventional film and television works, the attitude of middle-aged people to love is either to compromise or to laugh contemptuously.
In life, middle-aged people seem to be insulated from love, and if they are still pursuing love at this age, it seems to be incompatible with age.
There are also a large number of middle-aged people who tie up love and family, and sacrifice for their children in the name of beauty.
Every year, after the college entrance examination season, the news of the divorce of middle-aged couples will be on the hot search, in fact, their feelings have long been broken, but hidden for the sake of their children.
One of Lisa's aunts likes to pour bitter water every time they meet, telling how hateful her alcoholic and violent husband is.
Asked her why she did not divorce for so many years, she said that everything is for the children, in the early years was afraid that divorce would affect the children's studies, and then she was afraid that divorce would affect the children's marriage and children.
In this way, she not only likes to talk to people, but also often to her 30-something son. However, the others were tired of hearing it, and her son was also annoyed, and did not thank this "self-moving sacrifice" in the slightest.
Whether it is a man or a woman, after the age of thirty or forty, and then pursue love, in the eyes of many people and even in their own eyes, it is a kind of pragmatism, which will be ridiculed.
With the increase of age, the outside world gives more and more shackles, 30-year-old single shameful, 30-year-old not married should be on the line, 30-year-old not married is very humiliating... This sound, one after another.
Wrapped in prejudice and living in the eyes of others, can such a life not be tired?

Middle-aged people are trapped in family relationships and become individuals who have lost their self-awareness, and at present, film and television dramas focus more on the love of young people's idol dramas, and do not give middle-aged people the opportunity to show.
Middle-aged people are either hidden by the outside world or hidden by themselves, and gradually think that 30 + 40 + talk about love is shameful and ridiculous.
But such a prejudice is extremely funny.
After all, even in middle age, even in old age, people also need love, which has nothing to do with age.
In "I Love You", the white-haired old man still has the heart of a child, and their love, in the helplessness of age, guards each other and says goodbye to each other, can you say that such a warm existence is not romantic?
For example, in "Penultimate Love", 50+ uncles and aunts are in love, with the wisdom and romance endowed by age, they are no longer eager to ask for an answer, but more frank and smooth pursuit of feelings.
Love in the Time of Cholera mentions: "Age means nothing but in the material world. The essence of human existence is to resist the passage of time, and love is like a holy land of grace. ”
Adult love is never related to age.
Falling in love at any age and pursuing self-emotion is a beautiful thing.
