An unexamined life is not worth living

"Bridge Bridges" has won the recognition of many audiences for its delicate portrayal of middle-aged family and emotional problems, and its traditional morality also makes it easy for people to accept. The film resonated with many middle-aged audiences with its excellent artistic expression, and also prompted audiences to take their feelings seriously.

In the choice of love and responsibility, Francesca chose the latter - responsibility. Robert James Waller has carefully opened up the secret emotional world of extramarital affairs, revealing the fidelity, eternity, sanity, and emotional depth of the accusatively deviant and shameful relationship.

Each of us should fully examine our own life. Human nature has always been complicated. There is no absolute right and wrong in this world, and no one’s life path is straight and there are no fork in the road. When, how to choose, how to choose, it all depends on the self.

    I don't think I can do "stop when you encounter beautiful scenery." Old Mr. Clint can always hold your heart tightly at the end of the movie, so that you can't say anything but tears. In fact, it was not this rare relationship that moved me, but the simple words her husband said to her. "I know you had dreams, and I'm sorry I didn't help you realize it. I love you very much."

The Bridges of Madison County quotes

  • Robert: If you want me to stop, tell me now.

    Francesca: No one's asking you to.

  • Francesca: Robert, please. You don't understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you're expected move again only you don't remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you.

    Robert Kincaid: But now that you have it...

    Francesca: I want to keep it forever. I want to love you the way I do now the rest of my life. Don't you understand... we'll lose it if we leave. I can't make an entire life disappear to start a new one. All I can do is try to hold onto to both. Help me. Help me not lose loving you.
