love this thing

From the very beginning, David's strong affection for Consuela, who was 30 years younger than him, transitioned to mutual attraction between the two. When David was afraid of the outside world's opinions, he was reluctant to participate in Consuela's graduation party, but neither of them could forget each other. Has love embraced them? How much love is there and how long?
The movie wants to tell us that love exists. Maybe the impulsive pursuit of love when we are young will be hurt. It cannot be denied that love exists in this world. She can also transcend age, no matter what she was attracted to at the beginning, in the lubrication of emotions, attraction can bring love.
I insist on the existence of love, but cannot avoid another question, how long can love be? No one knows, just like modern people use very good words to describe love and business. Some love to die fast, and some manage to run smoothly, it depends on the ability of each team of lovers. Everyone is a semi-circle. When they meet another semi-circle with the same radius, they can live a full life. When they encounter a semi-circle with a different radius, one day they will be connected.

    "The future with you terrifies me, and the relationship of my life has passed in a hurry, because this way I can convince myself that I am not alone..." Except for the slightly clichéd cancer news at the end, the truth of the film It really hit me. The exhausted and decaying body has never compromised in the face of desire, but it is inevitable that it will gradually lose self-confidence. Aging is indeed a helpless and delicate thing, just like the beginning of the film

    If there is more courage and affirmation, it will be happy. The blank space at the end is limitless to imagination.

Elegy quotes

  • David Kepesh: You know for a Pulitzer prize winning poet, sometimes you display a remarkable lack of imagination.

    George O'Hearn: That's why they gave me the fucking prize.

  • Carolyn: You're fucking other women. I had two husbands who fucked other women. I didn't like it then, I don't like it now, least of all with you. *You have everything with me, David. Pure fucking. No hidden agendas, no icky entanglements.* How could you do this? There aren't many like me.

    [David shakes head]

    Carolyn: I actually understand you. I'm one in a million.
