The movie "Two Little Guesses" tells a game about "dare not to dare". As a child, Sophie is being bullied by her classmates, and Julian, who is passing by, gives Sophie her own carousel iron box, but Sophie proposes that the two play a game, the winner of the game will temporarily own the iron box, and the competitive Julian immediately accepts Sophie's challenge, starts the unguarded car, and the game begins.
As the two grow older, the game not stops, but goes to a higher and higher threshold, the rude English vocabulary of childhood to the strange dress worn outside the underwear of youth, and then to the crazy "crime scene" in middle age, the game cannot be stopped, the two are addicted to the game world that has not been constructed by each other, the eyes of secular society, public order, legal order and other laws of world operation have been forgotten, the illusion of the game world has gone to the irrational extreme, and finally the game is irreversible to the end of death.
1. Extreme crazy and romantic love story
Romance refers to a poetic, fantasy-filled experience of behavior, in the film, Sophie and Julian can be said to play romance to the extreme, the madness and romance of french love movies are the core of this movie. In their youth, the two are keenly aware of their feelings for each other, Sophie will rush out of the examination room breathlessly when Julian and other girls talk, and Julian will also find a way to get the earrings that Sophie is saying, the two use the game as an excuse to compete with each other, secretly game, lie that they have a relationship with others to attract each other's attention, so as to achieve the purpose of gaining the upper hand in love.
The love of youth is unscrupulous, they kiss on the side of the road, climb on the roof of the car under the insults of the taxi driver to continue kissing, stare at each other's eyes empty-eyed, automatically isolate the existence of others in the bustling street market, and the two people who leave the scene like escape become more and more determined for each other under the intervention of external factors, just as in many youth love movies, the bumpy and frustrated feelings can always get more support and gain more strength.
The unbridled behavior within the reasonable boundaries has a hint of romance under the background of youthful love, but when this romance begins to constantly cross the line, romance is no longer romantic, but transformed into an incomprehensible madness. Later in the film, the two are no longer satisfied with the small range of jokes and jokes, but constantly expand the sphere of influence of the game world, and even have a fierce collision with the conventional world, and the whimsical world of the two also constantly affects the regular life of others, bringing harm to others, while they are still satisfied with the pleasure of winning the constantly increasing bets.
Four years later, Julian invited Sophie to his wedding, and Sophie threw out the Demon Box at the wedding scene, "Do you dare to repent?" "Dare the game starts again, Sophie ruins Julian's wedding and hurts Julian's fiancée, Sophie imposes the rules of the game world on the real world, but Sophie doesn't realize that the real world is not all gamers. If Sophie ignores the wedding order, Julian ignores the laws of society.
Julian took Sophie to the train tracks, the roar of the whistle gradually approached Sophie, but the silent Julian never gave the order to let Sophie leave the track, Sophie took off the blindfolded gauze a second later and would be in danger of life, Julian's deliberate attempt to kill was an affront to the law, but also a disrespect for Sophie's right to life, the two's ten-year contract was a Jedi counterattack after Sophie's self-esteem was frustrated, and Sophie's revenge finally happened one night ten years later, However, all this is a long-lost game thrill and excitement for Julian, who sees the fake crime scene and the light in his eyes is something he has never seen in a decade. The absurdity of constantly running counter to the real world also indicates that the love of the two cannot be affirmed in the real world to survive, so the irreversible death is the end of the love between the two.
2. The background of love in the game world with tragedy as the core
As a child, Julian entered the game world built by Sophie, and under the temptation of his mother, Julian's naughty behavior can always be forgiven by his gentle mother, who carefully cares for Julian's beautiful heart and gives him the space to imagine in the small world. However, with the departure of Julian's mother, Julian lost his gentle guidance and advice, the grumpy father loved Julian's mother more than Julian, the father lost his beloved wife, and lost patience for the naughty Julian, Julian's world appeared a gap, the sadness of loss and helplessness was quickly replaced by the happy experience in the game world created by Sophie, Sophie's ten years of companionship made up for the missing part of Julian's growth process, but the attitude of the game also became Julian's attitude towards life.
Sophie is the same, the film has never appeared Sophie's parents, Sophie and her sister live in low-rent housing, the lack of family care Sophie's attitude to life is more dismissive than Julian's, there are also peers difficult to reach the tenacity, when she is bullied by her classmates, she shows adult-like composure, so Sophie is well versed in the real world of human indifference, with the truth of life like freedom and tenacity, so Sophie's game world is rooted in real life helplessness.
The absurdity of the game has a realistic contrast, Sophie's game world is also Sophie's real world, it is not difficult to understand that when Sophie learns that Julian's love may be because of the game and vigorously deny her feelings to save her dignity, at dinner four years later, Julian still continues her game, and Sophie believes it again. The experience of childhood made Julian too deep into the play and thought it always was so, and Sophie recognized the game nature of the world earlier than Julian, and the two immediately indulged in the game world.
The factor of the game is part of the love tragedy of the two people, the coexistence of strong and weak character is the root of their inability to harvest beautiful love in the end, and the emotional tragedy of the two people stems from the tragedy of personality. In the streets, libraries, coffee shops, restaurants, but anyone who can sincerely express my love for you will definitely have a different ending. Street jokes extinguished Sophie's passion, library indifference hurt Sophie's self-esteem, and the deception of the restaurant intensified Sophie's furious anger, and they missed four years and then another decade, but how many times in a person's life can be missed continuously? The two continue their lives in a parallel track, and when the eyes meet again, they will say their love, and between them is the regret of love and the hurt that is difficult to let go.
The movie "Two Little Guesses" presents bipolar word of mouth on the rating website, the extreme madness and romance of the film is the focus of criticism and appreciation by film critics, the lovers are touched by the love of the two people who are "unbearable in life", and the disgusters criticize the faith in the movie that has no reason to support. In fact, the game world of Sophie and Julian's childhood has accompanied them throughout their lives, they have been unable to return to normal life, in the game, there is no legal order and ethics, but when the game is related to the real individuals in the real society, the game is no longer a game, they take the absurdity of reality as the pleasure in the game, no doubt, this is a fatal mistake, and finally burying the eternal love under the reinforced concrete is the best way to end the game.
