What Verlaine saw through Rimbaud should be his ideal self, so he tried his best to please and compromise. And Verlaine is ultimately inferior to Rimbaud, not only in talent, but also in the heart of a genius. Rimbaud said, either don't hurt people, or be cold to the end, and an apology is an insult to the victim. So decisive, where did Verlaine learn from?
Rimbaud did not love Verlaine. He loves no one, his heart is somewhere above these things, or his heart is not anywhere at all. A man who is always gazing at the sun, a man who wants to be all, his heart is always free.
The film made ten percent of Rimbaud's willfulness of genius, but the description of genius itself is still weak, and Verlaine is a great poet after all, why is he just a lover in the world. Characters don't really stand up, that's a problem.
Total eclipse, the word is a misnomer, and the two ultimately kept themselves.
