The most touching thing is still single-minded

When I first watched this movie, I always felt deja vu. The familiarity and intimacy of the painting style and plot made me involuntarily think of "The Notebook". Then I searched the Internet and found that this is an adaptation of the former author Nicholas Sparks's work.

Spanning the pure love story intertwined between two generations, it looks like the love of birds and fishes, and finally lives together together. The nostalgic little iron box is filled with love letters written by the grandfather to the grandmother. In that old age, the love letters express the hot feelings. After many years, they are still taken care of by the grandfather as a lifeblood, and even car accidents have occurred. Once the fate system never forgets to tell you to remember to take it.

When the grandfather was young, he fell in love with Ruth, a young literary and artistic young woman who loved painting and art. After understanding each other, the two decided to enter the palace of marriage. Before getting married, Ruth confessed that she hoped to have a big family in the future, and then the grandfather went out to fight but lost her fertility due to injury. Just when he was discouraged and proposed to break up, Ruth decided to ignore the previous suspicions, uphold the principle that being with the person in love is the most important thing, or still be happy.

Until the years passed, Ruth packed up and ran away after an episode that she wanted to adopt but failed. The feeling here is the same as any point that needs to be re-examined when the bottleneck is reached after seven years of marriage. In short, it is a short separation. But in the end Ruth returned, and they kept buying and buying all kinds of art and painting works. I want to say that in order to please his sweetheart, the grandfather also paid a lot of money.

The camera switches to the present, where professional cowboy Luke and college student Sophia meet in a rodeo. Similar to other scenes that are destined to meet, Luke’s hat must fly to Sophia’s feet, and then she will definitely pick it up and want to return it to him, and then this cowboy must really want to and Together, she arranged a candlelit dinner by the seaside with excellent natural scenery. But Sophia said that he would go to New York for an internship in one month, and the two seemed to have no future. But the story between them is not finished. Because they saved the old grandfather mentioned earlier, that's right, Luke is an enthusiastic living Lei Feng, and he can find a burning car in a hidden place on a rainy night. So, because of the grandfather in the hospital, they met again. This time, they did not escape, and established a relationship after a happy date together.

Sophia is also a young literary girl, and Luke is on the farm thinking about how to win the competition and fulfill his father's unfinished dream. So the real contradiction coincides with the contradiction of the old grandfather when he was young. This contradiction is also fully reflected in "The Notebook", which is also the love between urban women and rural men. I feel that this model has become the author’s standard. The two must be worlds apart. You said I don’t. Understand, I don't know how to appreciate what you like, but I love you, so what you love is what I want to protect.

At the end of "The Notebook", the male protagonist set up a special studio for the female protagonist, in order to allow the female protagonist to paint as he pleases, and the male protagonist must be the last one left. The male protagonist in all the stories is The best representative of the warm man in the world, he has loved the heroine for a lifetime after falling in love at first sight, and whether the heroine left cruelly or forced to escape, the infatuation mode that the heroine will wait in place is the most attractive mode of the audience. The key factor.

Finally, at the auction, the lawyer read the letter written by the old man, and the letter said "The true work of art which we shared, this thing called life." It also matched the name of the movie perfectly. You will find that the plot is a little bit ragged, and some want to laugh and complain, but you will still be moved by it, because it is the truth that touches you, the only one that everyone expects in the heart, precisely because of its scarcity It is even more moved by the world, and it is also the truth that we know its exaggeration and illusion but still praise it. It is always good to have faith. And the phrase "Love requires sacrifices." said by the old man also seemed to point out the true meaning of feelings.
