grass isn't always greener on the other side, or is it?

This movie is a classic example of how the grass isn't always greener on the other side; it showed us as the viewer how a dream/fantasy should sometimes stay just that, as the reality of it isn't always what you thought it would be.

Going into this movie I thought I knew how it would play out, but I was pleasantly surprised that even with a simple plot that I was able to be shocked as things throughout the movie that did throw me as the viewer. Although I did enjoy the movie, I wouldn't rush to watch it again.

This movie presents as light entertainment, but I challenge you to see it otherwise.

Suffocating Love, to me is a deliberate oxymoron.

Taiwan delivers again, with a thought provoking and challenging movie, dressed up as light-hearted entertainment.

You can choose to watch this movie in a light and uninvested way, and enjoy the pretty interactions. Or you can choose to invest, and challenge yourself.

This is a movie about Intimate Partner Abuse, and challenges your biases about victimhood and perpetrators.
Check your biases as you watch. Can you identify the victim? Can you identify the abuse and the perpetrators of it? Which characters do you naturally empathise the most with and why?

Yes movies, books, TV, can teach us. Yes they are cultural items that have meaning, and can definitely create social change. Sometimes those changes can occur with small steps, such as this movie offers.

(I have opened a spoiler filled discussion on the drama page, if anyone wants to comment)

Não assista

QUE FILME RUIM,minha nossa senhora,nada nesse filme tem sentido,as coisas acontecendo nada a ver,porque caralh*s aquela mulher tava colocando talismã na casa dele e o que era aquilo que ela colocava na água e na comida dele?A história além de ser ruim,deixou muitos furos.
Sem sombra de dúvidas,um dos piores filmes q já assisti,não assistiria dnv nem se me pagasse.
Pra mim o filme foi horrível, a história não fala nada com nada,os personagens sem química nenhuma,furos no roteiro.
Que merda,de verdade
