If you haven't read the novel, watch the movie first

Fortunately, I didn't finish reading the novel "Love in the Time of Cholera" (I don't know why, I like Garcia Marquez so much), so I don't think the movie version is bad.

Just suspect that because Javier Barden made the character too wretched this time, destroying the beauty.

A spiritual woman and more than 600 physical women, is it paranoia or a love myth? A woman who only observes festivals for her husband physically, and a man who observes festivals only for her lover in spirit, finally broke the happiness in reality and the happiness in dreams after more than 50 years of indulging in each other, so that they can grow old. gesture back to each other's world. .

I am still moved by the classic aesthetic mood that pervades the works. After some entanglement and disgust, I seem to have returned to the era of no longer fallacy :)

    The so-called "there is a golden house in the book, there is a female face like jade in the book" is naturally justified. From ancient times to the present, the Chinese people's concept of class and love are almost all written in these two myths and legends. Unfortunately, Chinese poetry is not in this situation when it arrives in Latin America. Interestingly, in his works, Marquez highly praised Chinese poets, to be precise, Chinese philosophers. But obviously Western readers are not proud of the beauty of the East, they probably think that only God and the devil hide in the primitive forest of words. "Love" that begins with (ideal) letters ends with (real) cholera. From the perspective of Western modern medicine (historical science), the Chinese have no history. As long as we have a little experience of modern people's essays on dating and making friends, we will know that people's psychology of pursuing classical romantic love has never become a thing of the past. Most of the young men and women are still in "Love in the Time of Cholera", and have never gained cognitive freedom and liberation. Presumably, the original book contains both a clear understanding of phantom ghosts (history) and a critique of people's obsession with pursuing spiritual love or physical pleasure (spiritual split).

    If a man loves a woman with all his heart, it is not by how many fragrant flowers he has wiped, but by whether he retains his sincere virginity only for the Iraqi. If love can give way to marriage, does the fifty-four-year wait prove its greatness and profligacy? (There is no imaginary emotional majesty, but the confusion of cholera and the times makes love lonely).
