This is the story of five years ago, this is me five years later

I forgot the first time I watched "The Years of Love" when I was a senior, maybe it was my sophomore year, and Nan Nan was in the second teaching 401, a movie viewing event held every week by the club. I still remember that at the end of the film, I was reluctant to leave for a long time, and the soundtrack echoed in the second teaching, which made my heart surging. Although it has been five years, every time I think of this movie, I always think of Brad Pitt's long hair fluttering and coming on a horse. It is a classic image that cannot be forgotten and erased. Five years later, when I watched the film again, it was a different feeling. I was still moved by that classic scene, but at this time, I was different from five years ago, and I had a different feeling about this movie in my heart.
When he was young and frivolous, he admired Tristin's wildness and uninhibitedness. It was a free soul with a unique temperament. He made all the people in the story fall in love with him. Everyone gave him a unique love, his father. , his brother, his lover, the people he loves, all love him so deeply, love him, that's a different feeling from Summul and Afred. At the beginning of the film, he said with a single knife that his father loved Tristin the most, what kind of deep father-son relationship, a kind of favor and unique value, he was convinced that it was an extension of him, with his own The soul can continue his dream for him, so he believes in him and loves him deeply, even when Tristin's life and death are unknown, and even when Susan is deeply hurt, he still believes that that is his son, unique, Even though his deep love hurts his eldest son Afred...
I think that such an unruly man should be the dream of most women. Freedom, faith and affection are reflected in him most vividly. Therefore, Susan fell in love with that kind of Tristin, so her life is because of Tristin. and change. Susan was deeply in love, happy and deeply hurt because of Tristin. Five years ago, I thought that only Tristin could make Susan happy, he loved her, but when I revisited it again, I hesitated, I don't know if Tristin really loved, maybe yes, but How could someone who truly loves her have the heart to break her heart, and make her wait patiently and hopelessly. Everyone has their own beliefs in their hearts that need to be guarded. That freedom may be the deepest belief in Tristin's heart. I'm not sure if it's because of Tristin's desire for freedom or because of cowardice, afraid to face the fact that he didn't protect Summul well, maybe he's afraid the same thing will happen to Susan, afraid that he can't give her happiness, so he runs away . When he met Elizabeth, everything changed, I would think, maybe Susan, like most women, hopes to change the other person because of herself, I believe she must have believed that she could make him give up his free nature , Guilt to Summul. But she was wrong, and maybe her very existence was a kind of scar for Tristin, a reminder that he didn't have a scar that protected Summul well. And little Elizabeth is a different existence to Tristin, although I still wonder if Tristin will still get bored and leave if these dull days continue? Maybe not, because I remember him looking back at his homeland after a long absence, I know, he understands, that is his home, he wants to protect and give him warmth, where so many people who love him are waiting for him. ...
Different from five years ago, this time it was Afred who touched me the most. I kept thinking, what kind of mind does such a man, who loves that woman so much, tolerate his wife who loves others more than him. . Five years ago, I always felt that he was the weakest, the one I hated, and a villain, but now I am most distressed by this man, his fragility, his deep love, his sadness, It's all so real and so touching. His father didn't like him the most from the beginning. He knew his father's favor for Tristin, and he understood his father's favor for Summul, but he had never been special to him. Later, he left home and his father because of Susan. For so many years, his father was unwilling to see him again. How much grievance did he feel in his heart? His lover, I know, that might be called "once met for a lifetime", maybe that's the same sentence for all three of them and Susan. He fell in love with Susan from the first sight, but he was his brother's fiancée, his favorite brother, he couldn't. After Summul died, he thought he could finally get Susan's love, but Tristin came back Now, Susan's choice made his heart hurt. He knew that Tristin couldn't give her happiness, but he couldn't stop her, let alone change her decision. When Tristin left again, he saw Susan waiting hard, and finally could not bear Susan's sinking alone, he wanted to take her away, he said "you deserve better happiness". I know that that is the yearning of every woman, better happiness, a certain love, a lover who guards her side. Susan gave up because the wait was too hopeless, forever too far, and life too long. Even though Afred knew it, he was still willing to guard him silently until Tristin came back again. I was thinking, if Tristin doesn't show up again, then maybe they will just walk on in a normal way, maybe that is also a kind of happiness. Afred took good care of Susan. When Tristin saw Susan again, that woman in white with a calm expression, he knew that Afred loved him deeply. For himself, Afred gave Susan what she always wanted. In the end, Susan still couldn't face her heart. When she saw little Elizabeth and Tristing's family of four walking happily together, perhaps the saddest thing for her was not that Tristin got married again, but that after little Elizabeth died, She finally realized that she might not be Tristin's favorite person anymore, she finally gave up, and she was more sad than that. I have been thinking, in prison, did Tristin say the three sorry words to her, whether they had their own meanings - sorry for his rudeness, because she is already his brother's wife, sorry for his leaving, sorry for the hurt he did to her, Those three sorry sentences pushed her to the Jedi,
I think, if little Elizabeth hadn't died, then the two brothers might have lived their own dull lives like this, each with their own happiness and benevolence. But in the end, it's a movie, and the ups and downs of the plot are what keeps it going. Little Elizabeth died, and her death awakened the beast in Tristin's heart again. It was also the death of two women, which made the two brothers, father and son reunite again, forgive each other, and cherish each other.
This is a movie about brotherhood, father-son relationship than love. I feel sorry for Afred, dote on the simple Summul, and envy the freedom of Tristin's soul. If you choose a husband, maybe Afred is the best choice. In fact, Susan can Afred is very happy, but women are always stupid, and always feel that the best life is to live with the person they love forever. No matter how happy life is and the material is abundant, it can't match the person in her heart, so she finally chose such an extreme way to end it life. I think I get it, thinking that this kind of thinking, whether five years ago or five years later, has not changed in my mind.
