Nobody Knows What True Love Is

Rating: 6/10 (26 April 2009)

The movie is a direct reflection of the real society in which we are living, a society full of people with spiritual void. They are all seeking for love, or seeking for being loved rather, because they don't know what true love is, neither do the four characters in the movie. Their love is always combined with betrayals, lust, lies, etc.
Dan, the character I dislike most in this movie, has no conception of what love is. To him, love is occupation. He can't accept Anna and Alice's having sex with Larry because he considers them as his own possessions, which can't be shared with someone else. So that means he doesn't allow betrayal in love? No, absolutely no. When he seduces Anna when being taken photos, it disgusts me. How can a man be in love with a woman, and kiss another? He's just a selfish child in the kingdom of love, always wants to get, but never wants to give.
Larry, I think most people view him as a mean guy. His world is filled with lust and sex. To him, Love is sex. At the beginning when he chats online with fake Anna, he wants sex; after he goes to sees Alice at the exhibition, he wants sex; at last before he signs the divorce agreement, he still wants sex. He seems to be always expecting someone to have sex with, rather than someone to love.
Alice, or Jane, it is a big surprise when her real name is shown at last. I don't know why she uses a fake name and why she insists that she can't tell the truth. I tend to like her and have pity on her because she devotes herself to Dan. However, at the ending she disappoints me a lot. Welcome back Miss Jones, and goodbye Alice. She lies to everyone. She loses the fundamental in love, that is, honesty.
Anna, seems to be a rational woman, so rational that she can separate love with sex. Maybe she just wants a quiet life, but things go out of her control. She tries to get Dan out of mind by marrying Larry, tries to have Larry sign the agreement by having sex with him, and tries to have Dan stayed by telling him the truth. Unfortunately, she fails in everything.
At last, nobody gets love, neither the separated nor the couple, because nobody knows what true love is.
