Hopeless love without calamity

I played a movie on my laptop in the dorm, a group of girls chatted about what to put on, and finally decided to put something taboo, and I picked this movie.

Begins in the dark, ends in the dark, watching the sighs in the air by the moonlight, pauses, and finally a voice says: Let's watch a comedy next time.

These emotions have become the unbearable lightness of life.

She's not delicate, dark, thick lips, bulging nose, tacky plastic sequined shoes, men's hat, slender calves on the side of the boat, then see him, then walk with him, then make love, And then left, she pretended to be so calm, facing the unpredictable disaster brought by a hopeless love.

He is cowardly, weak, pessimistic, and powerless, but he dares, dares to admit that he loves her, admitting that it is not only the greed of the body but also the entanglement of the soul, however, she turned her back on her thin shoulders and waved her goodbye in a determined gesture. Not loving him, she was able to leave him, she never shed tears...

Until the boat left the alley, the waltz played again, she burst into tears, the ice melted into the scorching sun, and her emotions burst out, she was, deeply, Deeply, love him.

    I'm already old. One day, a man came up to me and introduced himself, it was in the lobby of a public place. He said to me: "I know you and I will never forget you. You were very young then, and everyone said you were beautiful. Now I'm here to tell you that, in my opinion, you are more beautiful now than when you were young. , I love the tormented face of yours now more than the delicate face of your youth."

The Lover quotes

  • [last lines]

    Narrator: Years after the war, after the marriages, the children, the divorces, the books, he had come to Paris with his wife. He had phoned her. He was intimidated; his voice trembled, and with the trembling it had found the accent of China again. He knew she'd begun writing books. He had also heard about the younger brother's death. He had been sad for her. And then he had no more to tell her. And then he told her - he had told her that it was as before, that he still loved her, that he would never stop loving her, that he would love her until his death.

  • Narrator: "Now and then I go back to the house in Sadek. To the horror of the house in Sadek. It's an unbearable place. It's close to death. A place of violence of pain of despair, of dishonour... But it's in this family's dryness in it's incredible harshness that I am the most deeply assured in myself. In the deepest of my essential certainties, all common history of ruin and shame, of love and hate is in my flesh."
