For me, I'd rather you leave

It should have been almost ten years. When I look back on this film, it is no longer the door handle that can't be pressed, but the old man said to his wife on his deathbed: I have always known.
The old man must have three mentalities at the same time: first, selfishness, he knew his wife could have a better life, but chose to continue to possess her; secondly, he thought he was great, and he thought he had tolerated his wife's success; lastly Weak, instead of subversive changes in life, it is better to pretend not to know and be ignorant.
This is the real human nature. It’s schizophrenia that doesn’t dare to choose and compromises in the moment.
So I'd rather you leave because I'd rather let go.

PS: In fact, I wrote it after reading "Wonderful Flowers" Cai Kangyong mentioned "Long Dreams of Covered Bridges". His rare point of view fell into a rut, which inspired me to write another answer.

    Finally understand why I want to take pictures. The meaning of photography to me is to make me more and more towards you. Such a clear thing, once in a lifetime.

    This retro style, this overflowing feeling, I thought the parting scene would be on the covered bridge, but on the streets of the town, the man who suddenly appeared in the rain and the handle of the car door that was gripped and put down, in the rearview mirror The necklace, waiting for the red light, those dozens of seconds were so heart-stopping and thrilling, how short four days, but the details of how the two met, knew each other, and fell in love always stayed in my mind, lingering, and the waves of emotion repeatedly impacted, Choosing between responsibility and passion, rebirth between fear and bravery, in this closed inland, a housewife still has a dream, the photographer is a family all over the world, thinking that she has already overcome loneliness, he let her see the vastness of the outside world And those memories of his hometown, she made him regain his longing for home and the warmth of the two people's emotions. The covered bridge has witnessed the history and the future. The love that can happen once in a lifetime is like a fairy tale that also insinuates reality, freedom. Dignity is the value that we must keep in our hearts. Even if we are trapped in a corner, we must be full of hope. As long as we believe in our hearts, happiness is in the distance.

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.
