I have seen this film many times, but I have never clicked it to watch it. Because of the title, and because of cholera, I don’t like watching too dignified, tragic, and dark films. I take it for granted that the horror and horror of cholera will be exaggerated in the film. destructive power. This is what I don't want to see.
However, in that era of cholera, no one in the film had cholera, and love was cholera. At the end, when the hero and heroine finally got together after 53 years of waiting, they hoisted the cholera flag on the boat so that they could never have to dock and spend the rest of their lives together.
BTW, I remember in the movie Serendipity in the Christmas season, the hero fell in love with the heroine at first sight, and asked the heroine for her contact information. The heroine already has a boyfriend and doesn't want to make extra troubles, and the heroine believes that if they really have Fate, we will meet again. The heroine asked the hero to write his address on a 5-dollar note, and then used the 5 yuan to buy some snacks, saying that when the 5 yuan is returned to her next time, she can Contact him again. The heroine takes the hero to the restaurant next to the street and asks the hero to take two elevators parallel to her, saying that if they press the same floor, they can meet again. The heroine also wrote her phone number and contact information on an old book she brought with her, and then donated it to the used book stand by the street, telling the hero that if you happen to buy this book at a used bookstore next time, you will know me contact information. From then on, the male protagonist had to go in every time he passed by the used bookstore to see if there was this book, so that his fiancée many years later thought he liked this version of the book very much. The wedding gift was given to the male protagonist. . . And the title of the book happens to be "Love in the Time of Cholera". . . Yeah, I praised one for my memory, which also shows how influential the original work of this movie based on the novel of the same name is.
Coming back to the movie, the lines of the film are very, very romantic. Love is like a plague. It spreads violently, frantically, and excitedly in the lines. If the 622 lover diaries of the hero are removed, this is a romantic love. A classic that will make your hair sparkle with a smile in your eyes.
However, the movie is not so simple, and the reality is not so simple.
The hero indulges his whole life and fills the void of inner love with lust. Innate love, it is probably this kind of person, the sensitivity, intensity and sincerity of love are more ferocious than anyone else. For them, what they love is not a figurative, but the feeling of in love. In life, every moment, they must live in love, and then they feel that life has meaning. In fact, many ordinary literary and artistic youths have had such emotional experience, but due to the constraints of values and morals, most people know how to control themselves after passing electricity in their minds at most, and they will not really produce divided love.
The heroine is married to Gao Shuaifu and everything looks fine. But marriage is such a destructive thing. Marriage means that two people must form a community of interests to fight against the mundane, predicament and ugliness together. And sharing weal and woe is just futile wishful thinking. I always think that it is good for two people to be happy together, and there is really no need to share hardships. The weakness, difficulty, stupidity and selfishness of each other are all seen in the eyes, and every minute is the killer of love. When I was working hard, I only wished that I could quickly become stronger in the dark, without anyone's sharing and sharing. love is illusion. That is true. Love is an illusion, and in love we play a radiant super body. And marriage makes this kind of play lose its soil.
At first, the doctor's husband said that the most important thing in marriage is stability. The heroine asked: What about love?
Dr. Juvenal Urbino: I love you above all else. More than anyone else in the world. The important thing in marriage is not happiness but stability.
Fermina Urbino: And love. Nothing is more difficult than love.
After more than 50 years of marriage, the heroine said with a full of holes: I don't know what love is, why there are so many quarrels and problems in 50 years. After learning that her husband was cheating on her, the jealous and angry wife once wanted to try to meet her old lover in revenge. After the doctor finally died, the male protagonist waited for more than 50 years, and the opportunity finally came. Ignoring the pain of the funeral, the male protagonist rushed out and made a loud confession:
Fermina I have waited for this opportunity for 51 years, nine months and four days. That is... how long I have loved you from the first moment I cast eyes on you un ... until now.
The heroine was furious. At the beginning of the film, let us see the end of the paragraph first, let us enter the flashback with doubts, what happened between them. When the stories are presented one by one, we can understand the rude, urgent and firm confession of the hero at the beginning.
After 53 years, they were in their 70s and finally got together. After half a century of waiting, is it worth it? Does it make sense? The hero looks at age and time in this way:
Age has no reality except in the physical world. The essence of a human being is resistant to the passage of time. Our inner lives are eternal, which is to say that our spirits remain as youthful and vigorous as when we were in full bloom.
The rest of the highlights

Fermina Urbino: Florentino Ariza is not a human. He is a shadow.
