In the scene where April knew Frank at the beginning, anyone would think of the Titanic back then. After watching the movie, I sighed with emotion. Fortunately, Jack died and sank into the sea with vigour. It would be happiness to let Rose live a peaceful life with his memories. Otherwise, Rose would have to endure the pain of mediocre life like April, and be great in the end. Love can also be ground into a journey of despair.
April's death reminds me of the death of the young woman in "The Hours". The movie was supposed to say the same thing. However, Wolf is so cold, intelligent and neurotic that he won't take the time to tell you so many stories. Those who should understand will understand, and those who don't understand will have to be detoured sooner or later.
It's just that I'm a little worried about myself, and I'm not as melancholy for as long as I did when I watched "All the time". I wonder if this can be attributed to a more healthy personality? Of course, I was actually shivering thinking, maybe I've become Frank, and I've bound myself firmly in this nihilistic reality.
Looking for security and getting tired of it, we are all selfish, but we still want to find someone else to spend our life with. Human beings are such a combination of contradictions, which is a sad fact that there is no way out. Face it, there is death waiting for you; ignore it, you become a slave of reality.
There are so many things to discuss in the film, from married life to mid-life crisis, from how to deal with inner emptiness to the helplessness of communication. However, what I want to choose to focus on is the title sentence:
the loneliness, emptiness and madness of one person cannot be redeemed by two people.
It may be a general summary of the movie, but it is a useful revelation for those of us who have entered or want to enter a long-term relationship. If both people know this is the case, the attachment can be less strained. In other words, don't hold out so much hope, and you'll be less disappointed.
