Bride of Li Bo Dream: Don't go to Tokyo if you have no money.

Director Shunji Iwai contributed a bizarre film, a female growth film, a lesbian film, and a suspense film. Weird, first of all, just like its name "Bride of Rip's Dream".

Rip Dream is a short story written by American writer washington irving, which tells the adventure story of Mr. Rip Dream. The film has nothing to do with it. Its name comes from the social network name "Li Bo Da Meng" of the movie character "True White", and this Wencker is not a gentleman, but an AV actress.

The bride of Li Bo's dream refers to the heroine in the movie Seven Seas. Qi Hai is a temporary teacher. She met her boyfriend Tie Ye through a dating website. He is a formal teacher. At the beginning of the film, the two contacted each other through social software and met on the streets of Tokyo cautiously. After meeting, go to bed naturally.

They got married in a hurry soon after they met. When preparing for the wedding, the woman had a problem. Qihai has no other relatives and friends except divorced parents. In desperation, she turned to the "security room" where the task was completed to hire someone as a guest. This is the first contract signed between Qihai and Anshi. Anshi is like an omnipotent god, but this god is clearly priced.

Shortly after marriage, Qi Hai found other women's jewelry at home. She suspected that the iron was derailed, so she found Anshi again and they signed a second contract. Seven seas pay, Anshi is responsible for investigating whether the iron is derailed.

During the investigation, a man came to the door and claimed to be the boyfriend of a female student who was also derailed by the iron. He invited Qihai to the hotel, hoping that Qihai would repay the damage caused by iron with his body. Qi Hai turned to Anshi for help again. According to Anshi's suggestion, he dragged the man to take a bath, but he was still photographed by a camera hidden in the room.

Soon, An Shi came to save the Seven Seas. The man who lied that Tie was cheating on her boyfriend met Anshi. It turned out that he was just an employee hired by Anshi. The whole thing was planned by Anshi, and the reason for the planning came from Tieye's mother who had a love story. She signed a contract with Anshi to let the Seven Seas leave Tieye.

The flustered Seven Seas met Anshi again, and Anshi offered her a temporary job: pretending to be relatives and friends for another wedding. In this camouflage game, the seven seas meet really white.

When Anshi found the Seven Seas again, she was faced with a formal job: looking after a mansion for a runaway owner.

To Qi Hai's surprise, she saw Bai Zhen again. Bai Zhen said that she is also a maid here.

They have a homosexual affair.

But let's look at the other side of the story.

As an actress, Bai Zhen found herself suffering from cancer and dying soon. She found a safe house with a "mission" and spent10 million to find someone to accompany her on the road. Seven oceans were chosen.

However, director Shunji Iwai still maintained his kindness. Out of love or other indescribable things, Bai Zhen committed suicide by taking poison alone after a period of affectionate confession, and Seven Seas just fell asleep in the arms of his lover.

Confessions say:

The heroine Seven Seas doesn't conform to the role in Syd Field's screenplay theory. She is passive. At the funeral of her lover Zhenbai, she sat on the edge of the stool and only cried; When sending Bai Zhen's ashes home, Bai Zhen's mother and Anshi collapsed to the ground, naked and drunk as a fiddler, while Qi Hai's clothes were almost complete.

The growth of women is not the focus of Li Bo's dream The Bride, because the Seven Seas did not wake up, but experienced a different life under the "control" of the security room; Lesbians are not the point. Although the scene between Bai Zhen and the Seven Seas is very attractive, this relationship is still under the control of men (An Shi), and the saying that "women can save women" is untenable.

Instead, there is a line running through the film: money.

Therefore, this film should be regarded as Shunji Iwai's new thinking on the role of money in urban life.

Shunji Iwai didn't criticize money as a cliche, which can be seen from his attitude towards An Shi. In the film, Anshi is undoubtedly the representative of money.

First of all, he is the representative of "money greed". Even at the end of the film, when the true white ashes are sent home, the security room has to calculate in detail how much it will cost to represent the grave. He counted carefully, "One, two, three ..."

At the same time, he is also the representative of "money talks". As long as he is paid, his mission is achieved, and it is not a problem to find someone to accompany him to death.

Shunji Iwai didn't treat it like a clown, and Anshi's calculation didn't make people feel hateful. Even at the end of the film, An Shi gave Qi Hai the last payment for his work, but he didn't have to do so, and the glory of the role appeared at a glance.

At the end of the film, Seven Seas sincerely said to Anshi, "Thank you! It can be seen that the relationship between the Seven Seas and An Shi is not antagonistic, but they get along well, which may be regarded as the recognition and understanding of the role of money by the Seven Seas.

After Qihai moved for the last time (maybe not for the last time), the students who taught remotely told Qihai that they wanted to visit Tokyo.

What kind of city is Tokyo? I couldn't help worrying about her from the beginning. Do you have enough money?

Tokyo may be the representative of all cities and business communities. Among them, without money, our life can't work; Without money, we may fall into the trap of others like the seven seas.

However, Shunji Iwai is not pessimistic or even optimistic about this. This money game has improved the lives of the seven oceans.

Then, once again, Anshi is not only the representative of money and commercial society, but also the representative of the spirit of "disciplined" money contract. The director may believe that this disciplined and warm money relationship can really lead the society to a better future, just like the story of the Seven Seas.

Movies are a game of capital. Perhaps, years of directorial experience have changed Shunji Iwai, who no longer hates money as he did when he was a teenager, but can live in harmony with him; Perhaps, the injury of a certain relationship made him have a new thinking about money, which is "it is easier to spend money to buy" as Bai Zhen said.
