Japanese goddess Masaaki Nagasawa just announced her marriage to film director Soushi Fukunaga, and she challenged the crazy view of marriage on the big screen! The 39-year-old not only loves her husband and another woman at the same time in her latest movie "What's Love Now?", she also boldly proposes the amazing proposal of "three people having children together", leaving traditional monogamy behind.
The film, directed by Hiroshi Kore-eda and his disciple Nanako Hirose, has recently been shown at the Busan Film Festival, Japanese previews and Taiwan's Golden Horse Film Festival. Even before the film was released, fans had divided opinions. Some people thought it was a new family imagination that broke the tradition, while others couldn't help but question, could the so-called "freedom of love" be a reason to hurt the other half?
"What Love Is Now" stars Masami Nagasawa, Yu Emoto and Shizuka Ishibashi. The story describes children's book writer Xiao Shi and her gentle and considerate husband Du Fu who have been married for 3 years. On the surface, they are very happy. However, in private, Masami Nagasawa has been dating "female editor" Shizuka Ishibashi for 6 years. After the affair came to light, Nagasawa whimsically proposed, "How about three people having a baby together?" The two people who were supposed to be love rivals were forced to rethink their relationship, and even started living together as three people. Until his girlfriend unexpectedly became pregnant, this chaotic relationship faced a greater test.
After the film was screened in Japan, some viewers praised Masami Nagasawa for her role as a willful, selfish but hard-to-hate woman, and affirmed that the film bravely challenges the issues of same-sex couples and diverse families. However, another group of viewers bluntly said that the heroine is too self-centered, especially the husband's ability to accept this triangle relationship so quickly, which is unconvincing. Others criticized the film for being too idealistic and divorced from reality.
