"What can you say about a 25-year-old girl who died? That she was beautiful and brilliant? That she loves Mozart and Bach? The Beatles? And me?"
A story with a tragic ending from the very beginning. In the process of watching the movie, I cherish every shot of "her" and perceive "her"'s love and every emotion of "her".
She likes music, she prides herself on being smart, she thinks she is aloof, and in the eyes of Harvard boys, she is the kind of person who is difficult to handle. On the first day of meeting, she treated him badly and even seemed rude. But he fell in love with her, maybe, they fell in love with each other for the first time, who knows!
One night, when he went back to the dormitory, he was laughed at by his roommates and fell in love with the difficult woman. He replies with "up yours". Turning around and entering the room, he dialed her number, he cautiously said, "Hello, Jen. What would you say if i told you i think i'm in love with you?"
She told her that if it wasn't serious, don't say it. "How do you know I'm not serious?" Barret stared at her.
One day they were walking side by side on the street and Barret confessed to Jen again, "I'm tired of playing your game, you are a supreme Radcliffe smart-ass. The best, you put down anything in pants. But verbal volleyball is not my idea of a relationship. If that's what you think it's all about, go back to your music waltz. I think you are scared, you put up a wall to keep from getting hurt, but it also keeps you from getting touched. It's a risk, isn't it, Jenny? At least i had the guts to admit what i felt. Some day you'll have to come up with the courage to admit that you care."
"I care." Jenny replied. This is how a beautiful relationship begins.
After getting along, they found that they were so suitable for each other: they cuddled with each other and read books, played with each other's face or hair, and did not disturb each other, the passage of time suddenly seemed insignificant; they played together on a snowy day, only a three-year-old child would know Playing games, let yourself fall into the snow one after another, bury your head in the snow with your feet upside down, run farther than anyone in the swirling university, and deliberately trip over the other during the run. Jen is holding the snow in his hands. , eating like a child, Barret stared at her motionless, giggling like a 200-pound fat man... As a baseball player, Barret was teaching Jen to play baseball in the heavy snow, looking at her silly appearance, he couldn't help but sigh She fell; he went to listen to her playing, and never took his eyes off her the whole time, as if he had met her for the first time; she went to see him play baseball and always laughed at him on purpose.
Seeing her musical talent, he told her, "you should keep at it, always." She told him she would, and she was going to study music in Paris next year because she had a scholarship. He asked her if she knew it long ago. She said, don't be silly, we will inevitably break up anyway. Next year you go to Harvard Law School, and I'm going to Paris to study music.
"What about our marriage?" Barret asked in an almost hoarse voice.
"Who said anything about marriage?"
"I'm saying it, now."
"you want to marry me?"
"yeah."
"why?"
"...Because."
She smiled, "that's a good reason."
After meeting the parents of both parties, because Barret had a bad relationship with his father and was not religious, they held a self-help wedding with the support of Jen's father.
Their married life was unsatisfactory because Barret cut ties with his father. He went on to study at Harvard Law School, where she taught music to children at a school. She lived a poor life, but when she recalled it a long time later, she said that the days when she raised him were her happiest days.
When she said these words, she was already seriously ill. The doctor told him, "she is dying." It was so sudden that he couldn't take it, and trying to calm himself, he asked the doctor what he could do for her. The doctor told him, "as normal."
So he pretended nothing happened and kissed her as usual, but he was no longer happy. He took her to eat delicious food, took her to see her skiing, and wanted to take her to Paris, but she refused. She knew what he thought, she knew that he always thought that marrying him would delay her music studies, but in fact only she knew that loving him was in the same position as music, Mozart, and Bach!
Just like the judgment made by the doctor, she passed away soon after. Before dying, she asked him to hold her tightly. Tell him, don't blame yourself, thinking that marrying him has delayed her dream, and if he thinks so, she doesn't want him to send her away. He cried and promised...
The movie lives up to its name, Love Story! A very old and very old love story that happened before our parents were born, but it is much purer than the current love. What moves people in the film is not necessarily the persistence from the beginning to the end, but they are lucky to find the only suitable person in the world!
Loving you is my life. This kind of love, this kind of person, it is really difficult to meet, so we will have more memories and emotions!
On this cloudy day, opening the online disk and choosing to watch this movie is the most accidental but comfortable thing to do this May.
