Two lovers, one is a captivating but fragile mirror that makes people greedy and lustful; the other is the source of oxygen and strength that life depends on. We are often torn between loving and being loved, like a greedy child, desperately chasing after our beloved toy, and choosing to be parasitic in a safe and warm arm to suck the wounds we left while chasing the toy. In the face of love, we often choose to stay by the side of those who love us, rationality eventually becomes a safe exit, and the joy of chasing toys is only left in sleepy dreams.
Elegant Italian restaurant, lonely brandy, Michelle turned away and her already married lover. Lover said, in the opera voice, Michelle is special. So this family is in the middle of the road, and the angel with broken wings can't help but feel pity for a frown and a smile. It is precisely Michele's fragility that gives Leona a sense of existence. He couldn't help agreeing to Michelle's request again and again. In front of the messed up Michelle, he seemed to see his vulnerable self. Michelle is the dwelling place of his soul, where Leona can breathe freely, and the passion after the love at first sight and free indulgence triggered by similar opinions makes Leona unable to stop. On the rooftop of the apartment, he yells, "It's not some damn obsession...but I know the real you, and I love you even more. I know you, Michelle, because I'm a mess, too." , Leona and Michel are like outcasts. On the roof where the wind blew, they hugged and kissed. He enters her and she owns him. When Leona blinked his eyes to bid farewell to his murky life, broke away from his parents' arms, and the pills that made him feel inferior, Michelle became a ray of sunshine in his life, a new passion life.
And Sandra is too perfect, as if he has become the cradle of warmth and comfort after his injury. Every time Leona was injured, Sandra would appear to heal his pain. How could he not be greedy for this feeling? In life, if you were Leona, how would you choose? After the first love in bed, beauty and uninhibited confrontation with gentle and well-behaved. I couldn't help comparing the comfort that Sandra brought to Leona and the ecstasy that Michelle brought him. I couldn't help but ask, "What is love?"
Yes, he knows what love is, love. It is freedom, sacrifice, fearlessness, the ability to give up family at any time, and an irresponsible elopement. This kind of extraordinary stimulation makes you and I feel alive. Love is inexplicable affection and attraction, love is passion and fanaticism, but love may be the eternal warmth and tolerance after the carnival.
The failed elopement took him like the sea again, and love was defeated in the face of death. And the sheepskin gloves Sandra gave him brought him back to reality. Nora left, but Nora finally came back. He suddenly realized that his own was needed. The group of lights under the blurry focus accompanied Leona's identification steps away. When Liona once again stayed away from the god of death and took the ring that was originally intended for Michelle to go back to find Sandra, I don't think it was love that lost to the so-called reason, it was just a kind of self-salvation after the Great Escape , back to the origin, that should belong to their own love. Some people think that Leona's return is a failure, and I think that going away with Michelle is the Hollywood-style ending. This seems to be a kind of helpless compromise and concession, perhaps more of a choice to take revenge in a comfortable way. It seems like a round dance to the edge, and another round dance back to the center. We all need chance and compromise.
The director handled the ending very cleverly, putting a ring on Sandra, and his shocking eyes flashing towards the camera with tears are unforgettable. Did he lose to Michelle, or Sandra to him, or did he lose to himself? Maybe what I want is not so important anymore. What matters is what I have at this moment. We have worked hard to reshuffle the cards of love, but we are still in our own place.
