Reality and dream love and loneliness

Here, only talk about movies, not history

First of all, Tolstoy mentioned in the chat in the film that in the first three years of his encounter and marriage with his wife, he and his wife could be said to have a good understanding of each other. That's why Tolstoy fell in love with his wife. And they have been together for so many years, and the long flow of water makes this kind of love enduring.

One of the contradictions emphasized in the film is that Toweng wants to realize his doctrine, which is actually to distribute family property and copyrights to the poor. However, Mrs. Towon was thinking about real issues, how to maintain a normal life for the family without these family properties, and the quiet work that Tolstoy liked and so on. So there is a contradiction between ideal and reality.

Let's look at love again. It can be said that the Tolstoy couple loved each other deeply at all times. Tolstoy's running away from home was actually to escape, to escape the huge contradiction between reality and ideal. And the lady who gradually changed under this contradiction (she became crazy and irritable). Just imagine, after high mountains and flowing water meet bosom friend, after Zhong Qi met, Zhong Ziqi finally no longer understand Boya due to various reasons, what kind of loneliness it is. This kind of loneliness is not because of Zhong Ziqi's death, Boya's death, and his death. Instead, he watched helplessly as his former confidant turned into a stranger. You are by my side but you turn a blind eye, this kind of loneliness is even more sad. But Tolstoy loved his wife from beginning to end, so he could only choose to escape this loneliness. This kind of loneliness that grows day by day under his wife's madness and irritability. This also explains why he ran away from home and did not get a divorce, and when he was dying of a serious illness, what he still wanted to see most was her wife. It is a profound proof that love and loneliness coexist.

    After her Levcheka left, she sat in the train, through the glass, carefully staring at the crying people outside, but she couldn't understand the sadness under those people's faces.

The Last Station quotes

  • Valentin: Love and be loved. That's the only reality there is in the world.

    Masha: He said that?

    Valentin: Yes, Tolstoy said it, but l'm saying it.

  • Leo Tolstoy: "Your youth and your desire for happiness reminds me cruelly of my age and the impossibility of happiness for me." When I was courting Sofya, she was so young and pure, it seemed impossible that I'd ever have her. I didn't want to tell her how I felt and I wanted to tell her nothing else. So I wrote down a string of letters and asked her if she could decipher them. She looked completely confused, thinking it was a game or... I gave her one clue. The firs two Y's, I said, stand for "your youth" and then the most miraculous thing happened. She simply spoke the phrase, my phrase as if she had read my mind. In that moment, we both knew we would always be together. For those first years, we were incredibly happy, terrifyingly happy.
