attitude of life.

There are too many movies on the hard drive that I don't have time to watch.

Not really in the mood to watch a movie. So I double-clicked the mouse at random and opened Midnight Barcelona.



I don't want to say how heart-wrenching this movie is.

But after watching it, I suddenly felt comfortable.



Christina is always on the lookout.

She didn't know what she wanted. Just know what you don't want.

Vicky lacks the courage to challenge life.

She almost broke free for a moment, but the accident made her realize that she could not accept life outside the shackles.



Each of us has our own way of life.

Some people are free and wanton like Christina, and some people are cautious and stable like Vicky.

But these two lives are too different. Too conflicted. attracted to each other again.

And no one is truly satisfied with their own life. Even if there is, only for a short time.



Christina has found the man who gives her passion, romance and inspiration.

Get to know the ex-wife of a talented and straightforward boyfriend.

Live the life of three people in love.

But could not hear the footsteps.



Vicky hid all expectations.

But still couldn't help speaking.

Finally got into the car of the person I really love, but kept shrinking.

She was shaken for a moment, but finally saw that such a shaky and restless life did not belong to her, and returned to her husband.



And we are all such contradictory individuals.

In the face of different fortunes, it seems to be moving forward.

But always stuck somewhere.

I don't believe in fate.

But this is doomed.

It is not a life controlled by an unknown force.

It's just a life that is limited by the real us and can't get out.



I thought I might be a little more like Vicky.

There are many unspeakable expectations in my heart. There are established values ​​for things, but can't help but creeping curiosity.

Sometimes I want to break the peace of life, but I'm not brave enough, I can't reach out, I'm afraid.

Sometimes make up your mind, sometimes take small steps.

But if you don't belong,

you don't belong, and all deviations will eventually be balanced to the right track.



I, like Christina, couldn't understand what I wanted.

Go forward without knowing where to go.

All I know is that I don't want anything.

has become too cautious. Carefully turn all "I want" into "If I get it, I will fight for it. If not,

forget it."

In fact, he was just too timid to even admit to himself what he wanted.

Living such a life has become habitual.

Really stop expecting things that you can't control, and only make up your mind about what you are sure you can strive for.



Suddenly I was afraid that I would lose too much of what I could have had, but dared not get.



I think maybe it's because I have a wish in my heart now.



Vicky said if not that weekend. She may be able to live in peace and stability with her husband for a long time.

I doubt this statement. If you are not satisfied with life, there will always be someone who will make you realize it.

But she is so ordinary, so real.

It's so real that I wonder if people can really live a so-called happy life.

Not everything is perfect, just content.

If there is no happy life, how many people live with masks.



I want to admit that I am an insatiable person. Although it's easy to just accept whatever happened to me.

But there is always hope. Strong curiosity and fantasies are to blame.

And I don't think I can kill both, just find ways to live with them.



Suddenly I feel like I'm making trouble for myself.

    While watching this movie, basically all my focus was on the relationship between men and women. Not much attention in other respects. The reason for paying special attention to this aspect is mainly due to some assumptions in the university. From the maternal line to the paternal line, from one male to one female to one male and one female, should there be more males and females next? ? What the film seems to be exploring.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona quotes

  • Maria Elena: You're still searching for me in every woman.

    Juan Antonio: That is not true, Maria Elena. I was in Oviedo some weeks ago with a woman who was the antithesis of you. An American, and something beautiful happened with her. So you're mistaken.

    Maria Elena: You'll always seek to duplicate what we had. You know it.

  • Cristina: [Looking at a sculpture of Jesus] Are you very religious?

    Juan Antonio: No, no, no, no, I'm not. The trick is to enjoy life, accepting it has no meaning whatsoever.

    Cristina: No meaning? You don't think that authentic love gives life meaning?

    Juan Antonio: Yes, but love is so transient. Isn't it? I was in love with a most incredible woman... and then in the end...

    Vicky: Yes?

    Juan Antonio: She put a knife into me.

    Cristina: My God, that's terrible!

    Vicky: Well, maybe you did something to deserve it.
