Love is just that you retreat and I enter--I watch "enough said"

Huang Yaoming once sang in the lyrics, "The more beautiful things are, the less I can touch them". However, in the love stories of middle-aged men and women, there is really no beauty at all, only the deep wrinkles at the corners of the eyes and the layers of swimming rings between the belly. However, for a long time, the common concept of Chinese people does not seem to allow beauty and love to exist after middle age. But the opposite example is in foreign countries, middle-aged men and women who have experienced ups and downs seem to be more able to radiate their own charm. These charms have nothing to do with body, appearance, but more about temperament, temperament and mind, so they can pursue and enjoy love more sober, calmly and calmly.

"Enough said" is such a middle-aged movie about the love story of middle-aged men and women. At a party, the divorced masseuse Eva met the fat Albert and the poetess Marianne. After that, Eva began dating Albert, despite his appearance being so mediocre, plus a physique and a stubborn beard; even though his bedroom didn't have a bedside table, his hobby was to buy mouthwash. But Eva was no longer picky. She fell in love with this man, perhaps because of his cooking skills, perhaps because of the tacit understanding on the bed, or more perhaps because the two people could chat happily. At the same time, Marianne has also become her client. During the massages, she was delighted to find that everything about the poetess was what she yearned for and admired. No matter the exquisite appearance, home furnishings, or thoughts and tastes, the strange but comfortable feeling surrounds her and makes her fall in love. So she seems to have become a girlfriend of the poetess, and will listen carefully to all the happy and unhappy things that the poetess talks about, including the details of the poetess's ex-husband who once married blindly. She enjoyed it all, until one day suddenly, she knew that the unbearable ex-husband in the female poetry population was her lover now.

Perhaps the calmer the woman is, the more her heart is hidden. Suspicion is the seed of crazy growth, always in your heart, inadvertently, thriving. So she began to hesitate, after all, the man she liked was abandoned by the woman she admired. So she chose to hide and silence. She may want to use time to let herself see her heart clearly. But the secret will be broken one day, so when the three people looked at each other, he was distressed and she was embarrassed. But luckily in the end, she went to his door, sat on the steps and chatted as before, and the warmth reappeared. The ending of Happy Ending gave me a sigh of relief.

There are too many divorce cases on behalf of me, and sometimes I wonder why the little bit of tenderness that I used to be in love with me and me will eventually become strangers and weary in the end. A person who once loved so deeply turned out to be hated in the end. So what is it that makes us let go of each other's hands? But perhaps there is no point in exploring the past. However, I have read such a passage once, saying that the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. Because if there is hatred, it is because of deep love. Whether you admit it or not, only when you see that person, you will be deeply relieved and smile lightly, that is not love.

But this film also tells us a fact, "Sometimes happiness is invisible but shocking. It gurgles in the bottom of my heart." So, just love it, no need to hesitate, no need to mind. Just like the secrets told to us in "The Little Prince", a person can only see the truth by looking carefully, and the truth of the matter is invisible only with the eyes. Love is self-knowledge, love is not about birth. Love is a mischievous hormone, love is true acceptance in the heart. Then it's good to accept it, why care about the eyes of others and his past?

Therefore, I am very happy to see that Eva's final behavior is just like the one-meter distance in "You From the Star", love is nothing but you retreat and I enter. So, who takes that step first, and what is the relationship? After all, the tiny, warm and beautiful trivial daily life based on love constitutes the whole meaning of life.
