What if you meet someone you love after you got married and have two kids?

That's a question I've been thinking over and over again, even before I watch this movie, and many other movies sharing the same theme, which involves a specious marriage and an untimely encounter.
As a wife and a mother, I deeply and faithfully love both my husband and my daughter, and I'm willing to sacrifice my everything, even my life, anytime, for their needs. Unfortunately, life isn't an epic short story, in which I can die heroically for my one and only love at my most young and innocent age. But instead, life is a long journey, during which we encounter various people and myriad problems. There's time I would rather throw a plate to my husband's face and tell him to shut the fuck up. Isn't it the same amicable face and the same sensual lips which are full of mellifluous words? A once frenzy lover and intimate soul mate slowly becomes merely someone you share the same food and the same bed with. And a once stranger across the street slowly becomes your inseparable other self. While who can bet the latter won't change again?
That's why we all like novels and movies. Because although true love may exist anywhere, unchangeable love can only survive within the length of 300 pages, or 90 minutes film.
Yesterday before we went to sleep, my husband asked me if I would cheat on him if our sex life won't satisfy me. I responded negatively and said "if everyone cheat on their partners whenever they have some unattended needs, then there will be no marriage on this planet". That epitomize my thoughts towards this movie.

    Alas, the last scene is really, the relative silence of the two is better than everything. Many times, behind those seemingly beautiful things, there are many holes and ruins, one is a 5 to 7 dark lover's time, and the other is a deformed family relationship. But perhaps it is because of this encounter that I can feel the unbearable burden of responsibility and family as life.

    It's not that I don't envy, but isn't this just an advanced YY novel, I'll go.

5 to 7 quotes

  • Brian: [in his book] Thousands of years ago, somebody came up with the idea of impermanence of the beauty and inevitability of change. I'm pretty sure they had just been dumped.

    Brian: I had a long time to consider the value of memory, and the idea that just because something doesn't last forever doesn't mean its worth is diminished. Maybe it was just a rationalization - easier on the soul than mourning what might have been - the life unlived. I honestly don't know, but I chose to believe in memory. I chose to believe in her. I chose to believe that the bond was never broken and that we carried each other in our hearts. As a secret singularity. She made me a writer. She made me a man.

    Brian: There would be other loves. Even great loves. But she was right, only one remained perfect.

  • [last lines]

    Brian: I don't know if I'll ever see her again. I don't know if that's a good thing, or a bad one. But I will promise you this. Your favorite story, whatever it might be, was written for one reader.
