We're leaving, and Only other people's memories are left of us... This is what we do when choosing a movie. A beautiful cover of the disc, some cool title, delusional actors and directors, in the end, a genre. For example, say melodrama, it means that the film is about love, if a romantic comedy, it is the same melodrama, but without the prefix drama and so on. The script is probably the last thing we're interested in. I do the same thing. Often I don’t even read the summary of the film, and probably should. This film, for example, attracted me with its peculiar title, and I have not watched Chinese films for a long time. And of course, the presence in the film Jude Law. So I didn’t even pay attention to the script. Elizabeth, a young woman who has gone through many disappointments, is looking for herself and trying to heal her broken heart. As her heart wounds heal, fleeting encounters with strangers lead her to new and uncharted pages of life.
The topic seems to be touched upon in this, and in many other Eastern dramas, a serious one. Finding the man in himself. Well, or better yet, how to find Elizabeth. In general, a fairly common topic. And this film did not bring anything new to her.
At first I really liked it. Exactly until Jude Law dropped out of the movie, right up until the end. Then I got bored when I watched . He's not connected at all. All these micro-themes that help Elizabeth find her way into life are logically incompatible. And Jude Law’s clumsy phrase at the end of the film, “Did you change a little, or did I change?” seems so inappropriate. Or the place, but the rest of the movie looks out of place. I liked it less even than “Proximity”, with the same Jude Law in the title role. It looks more collected much, though the finale is kind of abnormal there, in contrast to this, although logical, but completely unattractive.
But I have to admit that the film looks very good aesthetically. Again, like all Eastern films. The color scheme is just fine. Everything is perfectly combined, so the picture greatly helps to distract from the abnormal plot.
In general, the film seems smart, and at the same time empty. There are mixed feelings after watching, not in the sense that I did not understand it, there is nothing to understand, just, it is unclear how it relates to him. It’s like a movie, or it’s completely empty. I’ll probably take a place in the middle, so the score is average. Original
