Love Story

Love story, too simple a name. So simple that you can see through its contents at a glance.
I have accumulated the desire to watch this movie for a long time, so in this time when it is already spring but it is still cold, I sat in a quiet room and watched it from beginning to end.

Not too much of a shock, really, it's an old-fashioned storyline. The two met, met, fell in love, and then parted ways. But it is such an old-fashioned story that makes people feel different.

Oliver and Jenny started arguing, fell in love in bickering, and even finally bickered in front of Jenny's bed. Their life is sweet in bickering, and love is getting deeper and deeper in bickering.

The most common scene in the film is the snow scene. Pure white snow, no other colors are mixed, I think this is used to imply this love, right? Pure, without the slightest impurity.
It's such a story, beyond the realities of money status, it's all about love. It's such a story that shames me for saying so many things like "There can be no lasting love in this world." It's not that it doesn't exist, it's just that it didn't happen.

Many people like to summarize "Love Story" as a modern-day Cinderella story. But I don't think so. In fact, the story of Cinderella does not completely transcend the limitation of matter, it is still influenced by matter, and Oliver and Jenny are really out of the category of matter. They can work hard and live happily in poverty. As long as there is love, they will not desire even millions of wealth. Such love is full and is only about love.
For Oliver, Jenny is everything to him. Oliver came to the rink again when Jenny was gone, and he sat there, just sitting there quietly, a dazed, empty feeling all around him. Jenny's departure seems to have taken away his soul, making him feel empty.
However, with the sound of the theme song of the same name, this love, like this theme song, has become eternal, but it will not end with Jenny's departure.

    The classic template of the rebellious son and the arrogant poor family girl, the sweet love and abuse of the early marriage and early death; the hostess is well set, independent and smart, and a scheming girl who is likeable; "You are like living in a glass cover. , to protect yourself from harm and keep others out of reach”, “Love means never having to say sorry”; the theme song is mournful and moving (there is a song of the same name), the zoom photography and tone are very 70’s style, and there is actually a sequel.
