When I finished watching this embarrassing and depressing film and wrote a review, I thought of my lost lover. I talked about marriage and love at that time, and now, still.
From the very beginning, I liked the slow rhythm and pace. The two elderly people knew each other and lived a life without competition in the countryside. No children, no grandchildren, just each other. The water coming directly from the tap, the sound of knives and forks colliding with plates, and the uninhabited field. I just think this is a warm and simple romance. It wasn't until that letter, when I started to change pace, that I started to realize that Kate seemed to be living alone, and Jeff was living in another world. They've lived with each other for 45 years, and with the anniversary coming up, kate is like a stranger to Jeff, to home, to this marriage. I even feel ironically that kate is a legitimate third party, and all her love is not comparable to another non-existent woman in the room. In the room, Jeff has her on his mind, and she's even part of a 45-year marriage.
What is love, it’s Jeff who loves to climb mountains, but he doesn’t go for a walk now; it’s Jeff who once had a baby and wanted to get married, but now he’s old but has no children; it’s Jeff who has a camera, and there are pictures of her in the attic, but he doesn’t Hardly a photo. And what about marriage, I thought I didn't understand when kate said to open my eyes, until Jeff went to the attic in the middle of the night. Can love travel through time? It turns out that it is. Can marriage stand up to time? No. Kate has not been able to win a 27-year-old girl who is frozen under the Alps in 45 years. It may be because of this that the marriage is getting old, but the girl's face and breath have been preserved until it was discovered by others. , you are an outsider.
I thought I didn't understand why there was such a long sarcasm in the middle, but it went smoothly at the back, with tears, kisses, and the first dance. Until I saw the lyrics of the first dance: Now my lover has left me, I have finally lost the person I love, I have suffered from the ridicule of my friends, the sad tears can no longer be hidden, I can only say with a smile , when the flame of love goes out, the smoke fills your eyes. Jeff lost his crush, played the marriage hypocritically in the mockery of his friends, and burst into tears when he said I LOVE U. These forty-five years have not been the sudden flash of ex-girlfriends today, but throughout, before, now, and in the future. This love is long, longer than marriage.
This is not a simple and unadorned movie. It makes people feel cold, and the seemingly calm and beautiful surface is so real. It's just that I don't understand, if the ex-girlfriend still exists forever, then why let kate experience a tragedy with her own eyes, the price for her is her life, when kate looks back, what is the marriage?
And this week was enough to erase the fog that had been on her eyes all these years.
