People must live, and love has beauty

In fact, when I first started watching this movie, like many moviegoers, I had already imagined the result of the male and female protagonists together. But sometimes, compared with the picture of the tree full of flowers, the process of waiting for the blooming one by one is more beautiful.

Looking at this story from a worldly point of view, the possibility of this couple getting together is very small, and it is precisely this kind of love that is extremely difficult in real life that makes me unable to devote myself to this beautiful love story, not like the story Chinese people are equally sorry for their misses, but also happy for their encounters. Whenever I hear the heroine say: It's a sign. It's magic. I can't help but be interrupted by thoughts like "This can only happen in a movie", "It really is just a story", I can't help but wonder, what exactly What makes me reluctant to believe in the magic of this love? Why do I reject such miracles about love so much at a time when I should be dreaming? Could it be that a film as a work of art itself is more attractive only if it presents this one-in-ten-million probability? Could it be impossible for this kind of love, drawn by a miraculous force, to happen? Or is this my problem? The society I live in and the era I was born in have attached too many so-called important conditions in front of love, such as matchmaking, similar interests, non-long-distance relationships, economic strength... Maybe I haven't really experienced this kind of people watching. At first glance, I was convinced that the love of my life would be finished. Maybe when that person comes, I will be like the heroine. If you ask me, do I believe a story like this happens in real life? I will answer without hesitation: yes. But if you ask me, do I believe such a miracle could happen to me, or to the people around me? I will hesitate for a long time. Why? Real life can't hold too many surprises and surprises. I have accepted too many baptisms of "the plain is the truth". I believe that true love can be love at first sight, or it can be destined by God, but it is more accompanied by day and night, sharing weal and woe.

There is a line in the play that says it very well: You make millions of decisions that mean nothing and then one day your order takes out and it changes your life. Each of us will have one or many such decisions in our lives, maybe make We don't know its importance when we make a decision, but over time, as we change bits of our lives with this decision, we come to realize its importance. So sometimes, what matters is not whether we made the right decision, but whether we stand firm in our choice, follow our heart, and not give up until we can be sure that it was a stupid decision.

There is also a little plot that impressed me. When the actor was interviewed by a radio psychiatrist, the psychiatrist asked: People who truly loved once are far more likely to love again. Do you think there is someone out there you could love as much as your wife? He replied: It's hard to imagine. At this time, he must have felt that "the sea was in trouble". He couldn't get out of his pain for a year and a half, and he couldn't take the initiative to meet other women. It can be seen that , his relationship with his wife is very deep. So, which part of his relationship with his wife and his relationship with the heroine is true love? What is the correct measurement standard? Or, it's all true love, just different. So, how many unforgettable true loves can one experience in one's life? How many times can you grieve the loss of true love? How many times can you leave the past behind and start again?

The movie will end, but their stories are not finished, can the magic of love between the hero and heroine last forever? After they walked out of the Empire State Building hand in hand, when they could not afford the airfare between the two places when they met, when they got married and had to face the trivialities of life, when they met again one day When it comes to another person who makes them fall in love at first sight... I don't know whether the magic of this love can be transformed into the magic of life. After all, people must live, and only love can be beautiful.

    But...is this a love movie? Isn't this the journey of a movie fanatic youth...

    In order to wait for Tang Wei's "Beijing Meets Seattle", I revisited Sweet Sister and Silly Tang's "Night Sleep in Seattle", and was slightly touched by the clichéd fool's romance like a boyhood, as if compared to "Love Before Dawn" "Love at Twilight" is a kind of "boring movie", sometimes it is easier to be moved by stereotyped love, such as "True Love First", "Love Is Compromise", "Walk in the Clouds", "The King of Comedy" and more recently "The Happiness Behind the Dark Clouds" String"……

Sleepless in Seattle quotes

  • Jonah Baldwin: Thanks for dinner. I've never seen potatoes cooked like that before.

  • Jessica: I am telling them you're twelve so you can fly unaccompanied and the stewardess won't carry you around and stuff like that.

    Jonah Baldwin: Are you crazy! Who'd believe I'm twelve?

    Jessica: If it's in the computer, they believe anything.

    Jonah Baldwin: Are you sure?

    Jessica: Do you want me to say that you are really really short for your age and they shouldn't say anything because it would hurt your feelings.

    Jonah Baldwin: Yeah, that's a great idea!
