About Claire

I saw a very interesting sentence today:

You can manage a relationship, but you cannot manage a relationship.

Well, this sentence illuminates the movie drama. This film mainly talks about one thing: Sophie finds that her close relationship cannot be maintained. And she inadvertently fell into the love woven by another person.
We also believe that Sophie's previous feelings are true, but such feelings cannot continue. In the face of time, it could only become dehydrated and become a dry relationship. In the end, Sophie lost the mood to run it.


After introspection, I personally pay more attention to the wording. I often use the term intimate relationship instead of affection.
——The legacy of undergraduate thesis? Although I wrote attachment at that time.

For me, the core problem of this movie is not Sophie's sister, but the female partner: Why can Claire come back so calmly to find her old lover?

Because Claire's previous marriage was an intimate relationship that existed through management and maintenance, and it was tied to both parties' intentions and efforts for preservation.
And Claire and her old lover are unmanageable relationships.

not only that.

I also know that some people (of course, not ordinary people) do not agree with the argument of fall in love. They think that the idea of ​​falling in love is immature, and it is an idea of ​​reducing people to children. ——People think that they are omnipotent in love (actually the honeymoon stage). This is the same as their arrogance in childhood. Think of yourself when you were two years old. In fact, time will pierce this self-righteous lie, defeating them with trivial, dull, stuffy and dismal.
Such love is an escape and withdrawal.

Therefore, there should be no so-called what if.
Mature intimacy is built on the basis of mature individuals. They do not deliberately pursue it, nor are they enchanted by a feeling of returning to childhood.

However, what we have seen in this film are really mature individuals.
Otherwise, why do you think Claire has to.
When I saw Claire knocking bravely on the door of every Lorenzo, what I saw was not a young girl who was confused by love and felt that she would travel all over the Apennines and go through Siena for love-or else, Why didn't she think about coming early in the morning? What I saw was a mature woman who had the courage to pursue individual happiness, the courage to take on the past, and the courage to face her heart frankly. ——In fact, the meaning of the letter from Juliet far beyond.

And this makes the female partner simply shine.

So this film is worth 5 points.



A few more words: In fact, I have always wanted to watch this kind of film. There are beauties, but not too beautiful, but not too beautiful, but not too born, there is love, but not too much fire or sparks hit the earth. A good line must be just right.

Years later, when we can still quote the phrase "what" and "If" in this movie in front of our girlfriends are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together, side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life. Just as we can quote shall i compare thee to a summer day in Sonnets, we can quote You had me at hello in Jerry Maguire. What else can I ask for a film.

Give it 4.5 points and deduct half of it because it's so perfect.
