Love is a one-sided statement of the lover - episode 2

Brother Xu said, "Emotions should be confused, and don't be clear. Sometimes what others say, the parties are easy to associate, and the relationship is very fragile."

When I first watched this movie, I saw the emotional fragility, dodging, hiding, restraint, selfishness, and finally came to the conclusion that long-term intimacy will die out. However, such a simple sentence can't actually cover the whole process of "why come here", so I will revisit it recently.

Between the first two days and the second episode, Marianne fell into deep thought when she heard the client's statement "My husband and I erased each other's existence." Recalling the dodging and unnatural answers of Marianne during the interview, love may have disappeared at that time, and only habits and life are left. But habitual behavior doesn't let the person know what the deeper consciousness is. Self-understanding and awareness need opportunities to be opened.

After the client statement, Marianne suddenly realized that the person I love doesn't seem to exist in my life, love is just a unilateral statement of my state, and it doesn't matter whether the other person responds or not. But is this listening self-awakening or a sabotage of love?

When Marianne talked with reporters, she was talking about self-questioning. She recalled how the two people's love for ten years was just how they got to know each other. Marianne said, "It's enough to be friendly with your partner, reasonable expectations, love is unnecessary", after all, the two people can't even agree on having sex. Marianne's sideways stare lying on the bed, staring at ego, not John,

It wasn't until she encountered the client's statement that Marianne suddenly realized. In the past ten years, her understanding of love in marriage has become her own misreading of life itself. When she talks about love, what she is talking about has nothing to do with love, and love has nothing to do with partners in ten years. When Marianne made a friendly statement to reporters, their marriage had also ended.

Marriage is a hand that goes out and goes back, like the beer and sandwiches that Marianne picks up in the holiday cabin, and then hesitates and puts it in the fridge.

    It took about 3-4 times to finish reading the nearly 5-hour novel. Every time I read it, I would feel a slight suffocation and chest tightness. Marriage is really a curse. Trapped in this format, people who love each other cannot be themselves; once they get out of this relationship, the two become each other's soul mates like glue. Because marriage requires people to have a very comprehensive ability, and a very strong heart - to face the reality of life. Reality is difficult or even impossible to face head-on, and to face it head-on is the equivalent of acknowledging a marriage without love, a boring everyday life, and a future that looks into the grave at a glance. There is nothing wrong with both of them, or if one party is at fault and the other is not, the marriage is unlikely to be sustainable; on the contrary, both of them are at fault, and it seems that they can walk more magnanimously. The so-called marriage is like this, there is no reason to say. The drama between the two actors is really at the level of film history.

    Those who persist in marriage for a lifetime are admirable. In fact, I always suspect that love and marriage are contradictory, and it is impossible for one person to be in a perfect state with another person all the time. ps I like Bergman and Liv Uman better after watching this movie
