This well-known film critic in the industry wrote in his post-watching review:

"At the beginning of "Farewell to Dream", director Zhang used a lot of warm colors to set off the romantic atmosphere of the actor Jin Chuan proposing to his girlfriend Dongdong. The use of pink in many places makes the film begin, at least before 58 minutes and [-] seconds, All in a sweet and cozy environment.

After 3 minutes, the first turning point of the film came.

The heroine Xiang Dongdong, who was standing on the rooftop looking down, saw her boyfriend Jin Chuan below, and made Jin Chuan look up logically.As a result, in such a short time, the bus that was approaching not far away suddenly lost control and rushed to the sidewalk, smashing Jin Chuan, who couldn't dodge, into the hardware store.

Jin Chuan's life and death are unknown, and at the same time, the overall tone of the movie has quietly changed.

There is a very small plot here, the design is flawless, and it is completely an instinctive action between lovers.However, when the film is finally over and I think about it, I will find that the beginning of the film has already given enough hints in this small plot.

——The reason why Jin Chuan was hit by a car was because Xiang Dongdong made him look up.If it wasn't for Xiang Dongdong's request, Jin Chuan wouldn't have stood still, wouldn't have missed the out-of-control bus, and wouldn't have been hit by a car into the hardware store.

In the final analysis, the accident was actually caused by Xiang Dongdong.

In Xiang Dongdong's subsequent reaction, whether it was her instantly ashamed face when she saw Jin Chuan being carried out, or her faint cry after the doctor outside the operating room shook her head, all of them showed that she was very concerned about the accident. pain of.So far, in the eyes of the audience, Xiang Dongdong and Jin Chuan are still a pair of deeply affectionate and enviable couples.

Then something very incomprehensible happened.

After Xiang Dongdong played with the ring box outside Jin Chuan's ward for a long time, the final decision he made was to pull out Jin Chuan's breathing tube.

Murdered her boyfriend on the spot, and after watching him die, Xiang Dongdong took the ring Jin Chuan bought and jumped off the eighteenth floor.

Although the behavior is puzzling, but think about it, isn't this the best proof of the deep relationship between the two?As the promotional poster said, Xiang Dongdong met Jin Chuan again in another world and started a romantic love journey again.

Xiang Dongdong didn't die, she traveled to Xiao Country.

Xiang Dongdong, who was worn on the body of Queen Xiangshi, was a princess of Chen Guo who was sent to be married, and the young emperor who happened to be named Jin Chuan, snuggled up to each other in the deep palace to keep warm and fell in love at last.I won't go into details, and everyone can go to the cinema to watch it.

Meeting a lover in another world, even though it is not original, it can be regarded as a small perfection.It's a pity that something unexpected happened. On the night before Xiang Dongdong was about to express his feelings with the emperor, Chen Guoxi, who had been hiding in Xiao Guo for a long time, made a mess of Xiao Guo, and started a war with Chen Guoli Yingwai.

Chen Guo is about to come to the capital, but the garrison refuses to listen to the dispatch, the state treasury and private treasury are emptied, and the ministers "work together" to stage the drama of moving the capital out of greed for life and fear of death, and the emperor is disheartened.

After sending Xiang Dongdong away, the emperor led the imperial palace guards and the 80-year-old general to guard the gate of the country.

Originally, the reason why the emperor sent him to Dongdong was because the Xiao Kingdom was already certain to be destroyed.The emperor wanted Xiang Dongdong to live, but it was a pity that Xiang Dongdong thought it would take too long. Not only did she run back, but she even opened the gate of the east city, which was filled with gunpowder smoke.At that time, my ears were filled with the voice of calling Jin Chuan to Dongdong, and the emperor was not dead yet, so of course I heard it.

As for the emperor, he asked Xiang Dongdong to go, but Xiang Dongdong wanted to play the game of "I will die with you even if I die", so he refused to leave.

As a result, during the short time when the emperor turned his head and told Xiang Dongdong to run quickly, the few remaining imperial guards around the emperor were killed by the people of Chen Guo, and the emperor himself was beheaded.When the head was cut off, the ejaculated blood spurted so high.

Up to this point, I feel that the heroine Xiang Dongdong is really a bit pretentious.The first time he accidentally killed the modern Jin Chuan.The second time he was stubborn and refused to listen to persuasion, which killed the ancient Jin Chuan.

Does Xiang Dongdong have some indescribable obsession with killing Jin Chuan?

The emperor's head was cut off with a knife, so of course Xiang Dongdong was thrown into the street.But it was a little surprising that it was a female soldier who killed Xiang Dongdong.But in history.During the Xiao Kingdom period, women could not go to the battlefield at all.

Here we call everything that happened before as dream scene one. At this time, as soon as the dream scene ends, two-thirds of the movie has passed.Xiang Dongdong woke up from the nightmare and found that he just fell asleep on the table.The place where I was was still the rooftop restaurant that I had made an appointment with Jin Chuan, and the time had just passed.

Xiang Dongdong heard the voice of the waiter, she looked up and saw the lady in the white dress at the next table on the left.When Xiang Dongdong communicated briefly and silently with the lady, the camera paused for two seconds on the lady's finger with a deep ring imprint, which was a foreshadowing.

After the interaction, Xiang Dongdong turned his attention back to the comic book on the table.The comics serialized in the book happened to stop at the place where the emperor was beheaded with a knife.According to the comics and Xiang Dongdong's lines, it can be inferred that what happened before, Jin Chuan's car accident and his experience in Xiaoguo, is a serial dream of Xiang Dongdong.

At this time, Xiang Dongdong, who was reading the comic book, found that there was a new message on the phone.She clicked on WeChat and opened the dialog box where the note was 'dear'.Judging from the content of the chat, this 'dear' is obviously not Jin Chuan. She betrayed Jin Chuan and fell in love with a man who just divorced now.

That is to say, Xiang Dongdong cheated, and the cheating partner had a wife, and she became someone else's mistress.

Speaking of which, remember the fingers of the lady at the next table?Only those who have worn the ring for many years will leave a deep ring mark.But now there is a ring mark on the lady's finger, but there is no ring, which means that she has taken off the ring.

What would make a lady who never leaves her ring take the initiative to take it off?

Very simple, divorce.

Combined with the chat content of 'Dear' and Xiang Dongdong, the lady at the next table is very likely to be 'Dear' ex-wife.

When Jin Chuan called, Xiang Dongdong had just edited the good news and hadn't had time to send it out.

The content of the message that Xiang Dongdong wanted to send was very shocking. She said to 'dear': Sometimes when I think about it, I really wish that he died.

Who is this 'he', the answer is self-evident.And Xiang Dongdong's words also expressed two meanings.One is that she hates Jin Chuan very much. She thinks that Jin Chuan is in the way of her happy life, so she can't wait for Jin Chuan to die.The other is to overturn the information in the first two-thirds of the film-Xiang Dongdong and Jin Chuan are not a couple with deep and deep feelings at all.

At least from Xiangdongdong's point of view, absolutely not.

And Xiang Dongdong's diametrically opposite attitude from the beginning of the film proves this point even more.After receiving a call from Jin Chuan, Xiang Dongdong reflected on the gentle and sweet appearance at the beginning of the movie, and the disgust on his face was very obvious.

However, Jin Chuan's reaction was also a bit strange. When he told Dongdong that he saw him, his instinctive reaction was to hide Qiangwei behind his back.

During the call, both Jin Chuan and Xiang Dongdong said they wanted to tell each other something.Xiang Dongdong undoubtedly wanted to have a showdown with Jin Chuan, but what about Jin Chuan?Is he really going to propose to Dongdong?

Then, the plot in Xiang Dongdong's dream was repeated.Xiang Dongdong saw the bus approaching not far away, but unlike Dream [-], at this moment, Xiang Dongdong remembered the news that he couldn't get out: I really wish he died.

Xiang Dongdong hesitated.So no surprise, when she was hesitating, the bus hit Jin Chuan.When she realized what happened and ran downstairs, the camera suddenly shifted to the lady at the next table.The lady was clearly alone, but ordered two glasses of juice, and now the lady is gone, leaving only the juice shaking violently.

Jin Chuan was carried out by the medical staff. Director Zhang seemed to take a group portrait strangely. The camera swept across a woman in a white dress with disheveled hair.I can't see her face clearly, but the skirt on her body is very familiar.

The doctor pushed Jin Chuan out of the emergency room, Xiang Dongdong grabbed the doctor's sleeve and began to question him.The doctor said that Jin Chuan's condition was not very good and he might become a vegetable, and then asked Xiang Dongdong a question.The doctor said that he looked at Jin Chuan's emergency contact and asked if Xiang Dongdong was "Dong'er".Pay attention to the subtitles, it's winter's winter.

But obviously, Xiang Dongdong, who was in a dazed state, didn't pay attention to what the doctor said.

Then Xiang Dongdong was playing with the ring box outside Jin Chuan's ward. She took out the ring and saw a letter d engraved inside.However, this didn't move Xiang Dongdong. She took advantage of the shift of nurses to pull out Jin Chuan's breathing tube and watched him die.

Unlike Dream [-], Xiang Dongdong didn't put on a ring, nor did he kiss Jin Chuan.The sound of the ECG monitor covered the sound of the ward door being pushed open again, and then all sounds disappeared for two seconds.Then with a crash, Xiang Dongdong smashed the glass of the window and jumped off the building.

The camera did not follow Xiang Dongdong, but suddenly turned to the face of the dead Jin Chuan.After about half a minute, a tear fell.

This is a bit scary.Xiang Dongdong jumped off the building, Jin Chuan died, is there anyone else in the ward crying for Jin Chuan?Xiang Dongdong's jumping posture is weird, does it mean that Xiang Dongdong didn't jump off by himself, but was pushed down by someone?

So who is this person?

The ring box dropped in the ward was picked up, and the hand that appeared in the camera had a deep ring mark on the ring finger.

No doubt, it was the lady at the next table.

We call the story of Xiang Dongdong sleeping on the table and waking up as the second dream.In the second dream, Xiang Dongdong killed Jin Chuan, and the lady at the next table killed Xiang Dongdong.

Combining the two dreams, in addition to cheating on Dongdong, we also discovered that she wanted to kill Jin Chuan subconsciously.

In dream one, Xiang Dongdong chooses to save Jin Chuan, but she has a vague idea of ​​killing Jin Chuan in her heart.So in the dream, Xiang Dongdong pulled out Jin Chuan's breathing tube.When she was in the Xiao Kingdom, Xiang Dongdong intentionally or unintentionally caused the emperor to die right in front of her.

In the second dream, Xiang Dongdong chose to let Jin Chuan die, so he didn't ask Jin Chuan to escape.Jin Chuan had a big life, so he came back with his life.He was about to become a vegetable, but Xiang Dongdong still refused to let him go. Just like the dream, she pulled out Jin Chuan's breathing tube again.Although the window was pushed down by the lady at the next table who rushed over.

After that, Xiang Dongdong woke up again, which opened the prelude to the third dream.The waiter wakes her up as the camera zooms in on the table, which is empty on a white surface, with no comic books and nothing but lemonade that has just been put down.It is precisely because of this that many people think that Dreamland Three is real.

Because he knew that the lady at the next table pushed him down in the second dream, Xiang Dongdong's first reaction when he woke up was to look at the next table to the left.When she found that the lady was not there, she breathed a sigh of relief and was moving her neck. The next second, she froze.The camera didn't follow the past, and we couldn't know what she saw, but it definitely wouldn't be a good thing.

I guess ten times out of ten it's the lady at the next table.

The phone started to vibrate, and Xiang Dongdong answered the phone in a panic without even looking at it.There was no sound from the other side, and two seconds later there was a loud crash, and the film ended.

Director Zhang used blank space here, but to be honest, I just want to call it cheating!After the two dreams ended, I was still curious about how Xiang Dongdong would choose in the third dream, but the car accident happened directly, so there was no need to choose!And how the plot develops afterwards depends entirely on the imagination of the judges.

There is no doubt that Xiang Dongdong cheated. As for the relationship between Jin Chuan and the lady at the next table...

When Jin Chuan wrapped the bouquet in person, he told the florist that "she likes roses"; he shot Xiang Dongdong's female soldier; Jin Chuan hid the roses behind his back; two glasses of fruit juice shaking violently; the doctor said "Dong'er"; The diamond ring engraved with the subtitle d; the ring marks that appeared several times...

All this shows one thing, that is, the film Jin Chuan is not going to propose to Dongdong at all, but to the lady at the next table.

In other words, Jin Chuan and Dongdong both cheated on each other, and by coincidence, they cheated on a former couple.As for whether the lady at the next table took revenge on Xiang Dongdong after her marriage broke up, it's hard to say.

The authenticity of the three dreams depends on one's understanding, and each of them may be true.I am more inclined to dream [-], after all, it completely narrates a cause and effect, and clarifies the whole movie context.

Compared with director Zhang Weicheng's previous films, "Farewell to Dreams" may be a bit lacking in connotation, but it has taken the show to a new level. (Told a simple cheating story so complicated!) Goddess Chaoge's performance was brilliant, and Mrs. Su was no exception.However, "Farewell to Dreams" still failed to break out of the limitations of Chinese movies-the male and female protagonists had an uneven role, and in the last third of the film, Husband Su's roles were pitifully small.

Overall, it's still worth watching, and I recommend it to everyone.

Finally, a friendly reminder, don't view "Farewell to Dreams" as a love movie, but as a brain-burning thriller and suspense film! "
