It's beautiful as things change

—How did not everyone know we were crushing on each other ?

—We knew for sure.

Over the years, there have always been many rumors that David and Jen are privately at odds. But when I opened the final oprah show many years ago, when two people who hardly interacted had to evaluate each other, the eyes of the two always revealed an intimate and polite atmosphere, looking at David's dozens of There were several subtle changes in expressions in seconds, and I always believed that there was a story between them.

However, they never thought that on the only and last reunion, they would speak frankly to the audience.

People are really funny sometimes, and there are things we never seem to want to mention, but we're afraid no one will ever remember.

So it's better to tell people who understand after many years.

David said that in those ten years, the two of them were like two boats running staggered, so they never crossed the line, and they respected that. This is in line with the tortuous ten-year relationship between Rachel and Ross in the play, but unlike the play, when reality came to an end, no one painted them a happy ending in the mundane sense.

Curiously, I checked the relationship history of the two. Jennifer and Joshua in the show started dating before the first season until they broke up in early 1998, and started dating Pitt later in the same year. They were married from 2000 to 2005. And David started dating a rock singer from 1997 to 2001. Looking back now, it was a perfect miss.

In 1995 or 1996, David said in an interview with a magazine: The reality is we can do our job because we are truly friends. But when the day's over, she goes home to her boy friend and I go home to a magazine .

It's sad to think about.

I love how David quietly recounts the images of the two people snuggling up on the couch during rehearsal for the first two seasons of Friends, and it sounds like he's carefully picking up a regrettable but heartwarming time in his memory.

—There's a situation we cannot do anything about this.

The greatest helplessness in the world is this.

—How did not everyone know we were crushing on each other ?

—We knew. We knew for sure.

And the tacit understanding between the six old friends has fulfilled this relationship in the best way it can, and it has remained in the years almost brilliantly.

What touched me the most about reunion was the replay of the last scene of Rachel and Ross. After the director called cut, the two still hugged each other for a long time and did not let go. When the two let go, Jennifer was already in tears. At that time, Friends had come to the tenth year with a little tiredness, and Jennifer had already had Pete by his side. The initial embarrassing relationship has long since passed, but the too precious past seems to remain forever. A corner of life, when unintentionally stirred by time, arouses the most gentle resonance.
