A fairy tale that freezes love with death

It seems that crazy and romantic love is the exclusive luxury of French cinema, and any imitation is ridiculous. "Two Little Guess" is like a fantasy story woven by a sly Sophie who makes fun of your dull real life. Love is shattered in the trivial reality, powerlessly loses its gorgeous coat, without the pleasure and presumptuousness of games in life, love also has no passion as nutrients, and can only slowly die. Therefore, this story is told both fantasy and true, because I am afraid that once the love is exposed in the logical reality, it will no longer be gorgeous. "Two Little No Guess" uses oil painting-like colors to describe the unrestrained and joyful childhood, and uses unbiased realistic colors to describe the cruel and boring separation of lovers. It's a pity that we can't live in a rosy childhood forever, and facing reality is the first step out of the game. Sophie and Julian in the movie can't get rid of the pure love in the age of innocence. I think they dare not escape the disguise of the game because they know that they will face the boring things in their future life when they walk into reality. So maybe, their love is destined to only be expressed in this kind of illusory. Maybe people in love will hurt each other, just hope each other will remember. For Julian's injury, Sophie spent ten years to forgive. But I still can't understand. Sophie is brave. After four years, she bravely ran to his wedding with a token to defend her love. She didn't have any important bargaining chips to bring the man she had always loved back to her. Some It's just the promised game, the simple game that keeps their delicate relationship together. Facing Sophie's enthusiasm and bravery, Julian turned into a coward. Please allow my thinking to go off the line. I think of Jin Yong's martial arts novel that eight poles can't fight. It seems to be called, "The Sword of Heaven and the Dragon-Slaughtering Knife". Forgive my vulgarity, I think of Zhao Min, who is as wild and unruly as Sophie, and Zhang Wuji, who is about to marry Zhou Hairuo at the wedding. Zhao Min saved him and saved his uninteresting marriage life, but Zhang Wuji in Jin Yong's writing was undoubtedly overjoyed. He is also a coward like Julian, but the difference is that he happily accepts the romantic love of Jianghu martial arts. It's a wonderful fusion of Chinese and Western cultures. My mind was trapped in the usual romantic love routine, and I didn't understand Julian's desire to grow into reality. This kind of mood made him cruelly watch the train gradually approaching Sophie. If growth is derived from worries, and worries are derived from cowardice, and mediocrity is derived from mediocrity. . . . So yes, growth means countless choices and giving up. And the love of "Two Little No Guess" is destined to die in reality and growth. So Sophie and Julian in the fairy tale can only freeze their kiss in concrete.
