      The best explanation of love I've ever heard (with translation)

      Why do I love you?

      I love you not only for what you are but for what I am when I am with you
      .
      I love you not only for what you made of yourself but for what you are making of me.
      I love you not only for how you see yourself but for how you see me.
      I love you for ignoring the possibilities of the fool in me, and for accepting the possibilities of the good in me
      . (You always think of me in the best of things)

      Why do I love you?

      I love you...

      dusty history

      The HBO TV movie "Behind the Candelabra" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 66th Cannes Film Festival. The film is adapted from celebrity biographies. The protagonist, Li Brazzi (played by Michael Douglas), was a well-known piano artist in Hollywood in the 1950s and 1970s. Won the stage title of "King of Shining". He never admitted that he was gay and fought many honorary lawsuits for it, but in his later years he had to go to court with his 22-year-old male assistant and...

      Bug-Eyed Movie "Behind the Candlestick"

      To be honest, I didn't really like Michael Douglas until I saw this movie. When I watched Instinct, I was still a uh. . . The relatively pure Gu Liang might not like the scenes like that all of a sudden, so I don't like the male protagonist very much, and I think he's a little ugly, old, and shriveled. How can she be worthy of the radiant and splendid Sister Stone? After seeing the introduction on Universal Screen, I came back and downloaded the movie. Seeing Liberace on the show with a smile...

      At the end of the day...

      At the end of the day, it all comes down to an end. - That's what landed in my mind, sadly, when I hit the pause button of the video player at around 15 minutes toward the end of the film, where Lee, the "superior" pianist, evicted Scott, his longtime companion, out of the mansion. It was a phone call that interrupted my session with this film at the moment, yet ironically as "meant-to-be" as it may seem, that epiphany has stayed, more or less unrevised, even after I finished the film later on....

      Speak slowly and affectionately

      This movie has been on my wife's computer for a long time. I just opened the "click" when I was really bored and watched it. I hate watching romance movies, and I hate watching biopics, so I never prepared to watch it completely. .

      There are always some movies that you don't want to watch that are always dangling in front of your eyes, but you don't want to delete them, "Maybe this is fate", finally, I watched the first shot of it, like it was slowly pulled away The curtain, the...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The filming plan was announced in 2008, but because of Michael Douglas ' treatment for throat cancer, filming was postponed until 2010.
    The film was rejected by Hollywood studios for being "too gay" and unable to surpass " Brokeback Mountain ".
    When he starred in this movie, Douglas was already older than Li Buras at the time of his death. When Tolson saw Librazzi, he was only a teenager. When the relationship between the two ended, he...

    Evaluation action

    This movie is almost a two-person play between Matt Damon and Li Bolas, and most of the indoor plays. It's hard to get a glimpse of the historical scene at the time, and you can only observe the evolution of the relationship between the two according to the director's focus, which is very different from "Brokeback Mountain" and "Milk". If you can see the political and social picture behind the films through these two films, but...

    Movie quotes

    • Scott Thorson: Being somebody's boyfriend, I didn't picture my life like this. I wanted to be a veterinarian.

      Liberace: You want to help animals? Pick up the dog shit.

    • Scott Thorson: I'm bisexual.

      Liberace: Well which half likes women? I haven't met that half yet.

    • [last lines]

      Liberace: [final love song] Why do I love you? I love you not only for what you are, But for what I am when I'm with you I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, But for what you are making of me. I love you for ignoring the possibilities of the fool in me, And for accepting the possibilities of the good in me. Why do I love you? I love you for closing your eyes to the discords in me, And for adding to the music in me by worshipful listening. I love you for helping me to construct of my life Not a tavern but a temple I love you because you have done so much to make me happy. You have done it without a word, without a touch, without a sign You have done it by just being yourself Perhaps after all, that is what love means And that is why I love you.
