I watched this film on and off for two months. The first half was purely about the flesh and dirty jokes. Today I continued watching it and suddenly turned around, and suddenly felt why this film is called love and elixir.
It's a very good movie, it doesn't have the deep artificiality of serious literature, but it's not like the third-rate belly button literature, which is staged in turn. Like boiled water, sip a icy cold, and only taste a little sweet at the bottom of the throat.
If Cruel Fate is a Russian novel, then allow me to heal you with love - about your illness, my poverty, about unfulfilled childhood dreams, about unfulfilled visions - love is eternal spirit medicine. For Randall and Maggie, the love turned from a skin-to-skin relationship to a meal and a vegetable, until finally, to an immortal desire and a heroic dream in each other's tired lives. That's what struck me about this film.
【 Kids, if you're looking this, put it back in mommy's secret hiding spot right now, or you'll be sorry, there will be consequences! Just how happy I am. At this moment, right now. The way that light's hitting in that face of yours, there is little breeze coming in through the window. It doesn't matter if I have 10000 more moments like this, or just this one, because, that's all the same. Yes, right now, this moment , I have all the thing.】
I really like this part. The female protagonist suffering from Parkinson's left this video in order to keep the sweety sex moment with the male protagonist. At first, I thought it was ridiculous, and I didn't really understand the thoughts of your foreigners. Only later did I realize that if memory can last forever, why invent something that tries to freeze time. I read an article about photos and memories written by a wife before. She said that Kundera admits that the reason why we live is to prove that we exist. So Maggie kept putting together photo albums and recording videos, trying to turn moments into eternity. "Keep your side and draw it in my heart."
Fortunately, Randall remembered for her in the end.
