      The Last Station--Everything I Know is Because of Love

      Everything that I know, I know only because I love Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace. Put aside the division of marital property and the freedom and equality movement, in the classical background music of "The Last Station," I just want to talk about Tolstoy and Sophia. Because, as the black and white subtitles at the beginning of the film said, Tolstoy said in "War and Peace": All I know is...

      The Last Station: Lonely to Crave Hugs

      Sincere acting, intelligent dialogue and interspersed. From the protagonist's peep, I think of myself.

      Ascetic, am I? I'm sure not.

      "Loving and being loved is the only thing that is true." What is true and what is love?

      "I am the masterpiece of your life, and so are you." Is that so?

      The entanglement of love between two old people makes people understand love even more and makes people understand love even more.

      Love, but can not make people...

      Older women's dedication to love depicts the purity of love

      Followers are blind, and the idols that are shaped have more or less the shadow of the shaper. The people who understand Lev the most are those who understand and bring Lev happiness. The two scenes that touched me the most were: Sofia in bed asking Lev "do u love me? I want u to love me." and at the end Sofia on the train looking out the window at the sad and anguished followers saying "I don't understand. Their grief." Only after true love can you truly understand, and following is just like...

      come see a beauty

      At the beginning, the words that Valentine said when recruiting through the eldest disciple showed the various irregularities of this organization. This organization expanded Toon's few words into a doctrine-like concept, creating an idol to flaunt himself, elevate himself, and even degrade others, and this other person was Toon's wife. This is somewhat similar to the behavior of the Shiites in Islam who claimed that Ismail would be resurrected in a hundred years when there was no successor to...

      Human love is always troubled by the contradiction between love and selfishness

      Whether this film is a biography faithful to Tolstoy's life, I have not checked. But that's not important to the subject.

      Human love is too complicated to articulate.

      There are three characters entangled in the movie

      "Saints" living in ideals - Tolstoy

      A wife who tries her best to maintain a worldly life - Sophia

      Fanatical believer and disciple of the "Saint" - Vladimir Chekov

      Tolstoy loved his wife, no doubt about it. At the same time Tolstoy loved his...

      I have to think of a sentence: If your girlfriend can make you happy every day, without losing her temper, without snoring, without being nervous, then break up, she must not love you. . . They fight so hard, run away from each other, but love each other. Love is really...

    Movie quotes

    • Sofya Tolstaya: [to Leo] Look at me! This is who I am, *this* is what you married. We may be older, maybe we're old, but I'm still your little chicken. And you're still my big cock.

    • 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.
