Can't love each other gracefully

LOVE IS STRANGE, this is a weird name, but it's amazing with this movie.

Compared to the various loves between people in the film, the year-end homosexuality of the two grandpas is really the most strange love. At the beginning of the film, the wedding party with an overwhelming happiness index makes people feel the illusion of the world. Wow, what a wonderful thing it is to have relatives and friends together! They said the most sincere blessings with the purest love, smiles filled their faces, and no one was immersed in the warmth of heaven. Until, returning to the cruel reality, the wedding was over, George was fired by the church, and the mortgage could not be repaid, and the two newly married couples had to sell their house and live in two places. One lives in a nephew’s house, another lives in a friend’s house, and spends day and night with relatives and friends, only to realize that “it’s not easy to say that I love you”. This kind of love is weird, it is the love full of distance that George and Ben unexpectedly. The longer you get along, the more you find that the love of relatives and friends fades and becomes less merciless, but they don't know where they are wrong.

What's wrong? The mistake is that they are trapped in the reality of New York and fantasize about platonic love. When you lose the material basis of love, you also lose the guarantee of obtaining love. The love of relatives and friends, in addition to parents and children, needs to be based on relatively equal affection and respect. If you become a burden on your relatives and friends in life-whether it is a material or spiritual burden, you will lose this equality. Love, and become the object of charity. The Chinese may be more affectionate than the Americans. Even if the independent Americans have high moral values, it is difficult for them to accept this external burden.

There is a beautiful concept called "Let us age gracefully". It sounds like a very simple vision, but it actually requires you to take precautions from a young age: first, the most basic premise of elegance is a healthy body and mind; secondly, elegance is not a course that is sold now. Elegance It is a long-term habit; in the end, elegance requires a strong and stable material foundation and safety guarantees in order to make people calm from the inside out. George and Ben have lost their homes, embarrassed physically and mentally, and wanting to stay together elegantly until they grow old can only become an extravagant hope.

    Ben: Oh. I don't know. I loved it. I kept thinking about him and his beloved Isabella.

    George: Oh yeah? But that's not true. You know that whole "he composed it to convince her parents to let him marry her," it's a myth.
