炼爱 love test - 2016

What a terrible movie, really awful. It’s badly written, badly acted, badly shot, it’s really hard to find something good about it, if forced I can only think of the roses and the red dress. The scenes go all over the place, the man is despicable to her most of the time, the woman is either sobbing uncontrollably or sleeping, only after an hour of movie the plot is explained, but it’s still awful. 

We see a man and a woman after their wedding. She’s all happy but he immediately starts treating her badly, insulting her and humiliating her while she sticks to him with adoring attitude repeating that he loves her...  when they finally explains what happened in his past to make him act like that, we learn that:

his older brother was in love with her and asked her to go to his house or he’ll kill himself. She doesn’t love him and has already tried to reject him before, but after hearing that she says she’ll go to talk face to face, but while she’s running there, a car has an accident trying to avoid her who crossed the street running. They don't know each other, but the man is her now-husband. She takes him to the hospital. She tries calling to explain why she’ll be late, but nobody answers. He's already jumped off the roof, so now both his brother and her best friend, in love with the guy, blame her entirely. 

Her husband hates her but also loves her after all, so he keeps a picture of his brother in their bedroom to remind himself, and then asks for a divorce. She wants to explain, but doesn’t tell him because she thinks that knowing he indirectly caused his brother’s death would be too much to bear. 

So she signs the divorce papers and then cuts her wrist. He comes home to get the document, and sees for the first time the gift she had been trying to give him for some time: his watch, the one that got broken when he had that accident, and he was told by the doctor that the girl that was with him had taken it to be repaired (so why did she wait so long before giving it to him? who knows).

He finally understands and goes to her and rushes to the hospital. His brother had been in a coma for like three years, I think, and now wakes up and explains that he had depression, that it wasn’t her fault if he jumped off a building to kill himself... 

... I mean, it's not like it would have been her fault anyway, is it??!?

And just like that, everything’s behind them and they get married again...  

Terrible, really awful. 

Also:

Why is it that the picture of his brother is that of a baby? He didn’t want her to recognise him? Why? 

Most importantly, why in this kind of stories people always revenge without knowing a thing of what happened? I know that when the pain is too much one would do anything rather than face it, and to put blame on someone else is a way as good as any other, but as time passes, they should at least try to find out if they are hating the right person, for the right reason... to dedicate one’s own life to revenge simply because you ‘think’ that things went in a certain way is simply stupid. And evil. A simple ‘sorry, I misunderstood’ can’t be enough.
