We have to think a movie called ‘materialists’. Materialists, a pleasant film, especially for people who are not wounded, say that beautiful women want to marry rich and tall men, and rich men want to marry beautiful young women. And people who are not so sought after choose others like them. Thus, the marriage of the sub -related is also of two equals of their two equal disabled. “Marriage is a business agreement, and it has always been since the first time two people have done it,” says Lucy, the protagonist who considers herself too good for most men, but is not a multi-millionaire worthy that is in good shape and six feet long. Can people who do not have a business do a business agreement? Could it be that marriage also comes from the rich, such as morals, beliefs, literature and reunions in college? And others mimicked it in a senseless way, as usual not the origin of what they do. Also read: Marriage changes the lives of women – men, not so much. The data shows it. The marriage as a business agreement forms at the heart of world history. Indian emperors have married more than once as a way to form alliances. If they were married to love at all, it was because they could also marry for business. The marriage of Marie Antoinette to French Dauphin Louis was arranged to strengthen an alliance between Austria and France against Prussia and Britain. Catherine was married to Arthur, Prince of Wales, to unite England and Spain. Even today, the rich tend to marry the rich. The idea that marriage unites two social equals to make them more formidable, which means that this is the moment in classes. Because, is it worth the torture of a loveless marriage that leads to a mechanic with a nurse just because there is a vague commonality between their families? In many regions, formal marriages have been a thing of the rich through the ages, while the poor, if they did a ‘faithful’, had informal arrangements. Everything is considered, I cannot help but feel that the marriage comes from the rich and that the love comes from the Mad. This is why not marriage or love for most people is meaningful. Also read: Why the nutritions of friendships outside of marriage are important in my love theory, I see it as an original mental illness. Love’s feverish excess in some people is the disease; And its moderation to most people gives it the power to convey himself as a great human virtue, such as dedication, which everyone can achieve if they are so lucky to meet a magical being. Those who were plagued by too much love sang about it, melted hearts and sent another quality of the crazy to the world that those who are not angry try to obtain in vain. All our turmoil is about it – the healthy trying to imitate the insane. But the madness is so powerful that it has endured centuries, which corresponds to the long life of the cold practical practice of regular marriage. Of course, there is a kind of love that can happen to healthy people. Love is someone you want to keep looking at, and for this reason, kidnapped this person for so long that you can no longer look like. Materialists, written and directed by Celine Song, argue that love, if it happens at all, is brief. On the other hand, an alliance with a reasonable person who does not necessarily change your heartbeat, but whose material possessions can make you feel valuable for a long time. This is not what many people have made uncomfortable with the film, no matter what they say and their claims to be romantics. The film is very much upset because it clearly defines the unwanted in the highest circles of the American wedding market – short and poor men, and any woman older than 29.

But some films, mostly comedies, which upset some of people, receive very angry one-stars. The rating for materialists therefore does not reflect its quality, but the irritation of people reminded of how unattractive they are through their own measures of what makes a person attractive. The film is cruel about physical and economic characteristics. Even men who are 9 feet 9 inches are reminded that they can be shorter than they think. And men who are not millionaires are reminded that they would not have a chance to be with the women they want. And unacceptable women are reminded that they should seek beauty, because there is too much competition for men with high net worth. Given all this, the film had to be very well received by the confident to earn a 6.5 IMDB rating. Also read: Money and marriage: How couples can still manage expenses and investments, the film has a quality that all mainstream films own: it is cowardly by the end. All his exciting discomfort is at the beginning. In the end, it admits that most of his viewers are ordinary people who need to be comforted by the myth of love. It reminded me of a line of Game of Thrones: ‘… all before the word’ but ‘is horseshit.’ In ‘Bold’ mainstream theater it is the reverse. It starts with what it really wants to say; Then it loses his intellectual courage and makes it a compromise. So do materialists. After showing the brutality of the marriage market, it changes the magical realism of love. So, a girl who wants to exchange her beauty for money and status gives a wonderful catch that doesn’t excite her at all. This part is credible. I’ve seen it in real life before. Women and even men find their theoretically perfect partner, but they are not excited enough; They try hard to find reasons to be with the person, but get bored by them. Maybe it’s the evolutionary purpose of boredom. This is the only way a billionaire can be rejected. But then Lucy chooses a loser for reasons she and the film admit that they cannot fully explain.
