I've seen many movies, but I still can't manage my own love

Watching the midnight curtain of the "Love Is" trilogy fall again before my eyes, I wonder, in a few decades, is there any chance of seeing two people make the last film of their lives at the age of 98?

Dawn, dusk, midnight, the cycle of a day, or the cycle of a lifetime?

Actors perform 20-year-old love, 30-year-old love, and 40-year-old love at their 20s, 30s, and 40s, respectively. Is there a more life-like and closer to the real way than this in filming?

Because of this truth, the viewers seem to follow the two for half their lives.

Real life is imperfect, and if you can't see, you're blind.

The freshness and passion will eventually be covered up by the trivial and inevitable trivialities: firewood, rice, oil and salt, children and the elderly, wages and housework...

Women's attributes in marriage are giving, devoting, suspicious, questioning, sensitive, and worrying about it while aging; men's attributes in marriage are responsibility, comfort, forbearance, silence, coaxing...

Even at the stage of 20 years of acquaintance, if Celine and Jesse are asked to write a book about their marriage, they can only finish the first one, because their future is still infinite...

And the next chapter of this book of marriage can probably be written by the other two old people at the table and the grandmother of the young man.

Some of them summed up the motto "make space for each other"

Some people warn young people not to indulge in love

Some remind these children who are experiencing "young" love, don't forget to cherish the people in front of them.

But can we really grasp the true meaning of marriage when we listen to the experience of the elders?

I think that the true meaning of marriage is only in the hands of those who have experienced it.

Of course, everyone's understanding and perception of the true meaning of marriage will inevitably have similarities, but different cultural education and different personalities make each experience about marriage different.

Heard a lot of great truths, but still had a bad life. I've watched countless romance movies, but I still can't figure out love.

All things can only have their own experience if they have really experienced it, otherwise it is just talk on paper.

Each of us, while watching the love and experiences of others, is writing our own story about love.

    The trilogy is more realistic one by one. Personally, I still love before sunset~ The script and performance are still wonderful. When the passion subsides and the desire is worn away, the ordinary and trivial mutual support is the norm. A letter from the future, the most tender confession. "We appear, we disappear, we are so important to some people, but in the end we all just pass by." This is life, this is love condensed in firewood, rice, oil and salt. (9.0/10)

    Oddly enough, looking at it two weeks later, the thirst of the brain-damaged fans and the enthusiasm for seeing Julie herself receded, and the problem became apparent. In fact, it's not a problem. The identity of the strangers in the first two films gave love a polite and beautiful distance. Now that we have lived together for nine years, pornographic jokes come casually, and torturing each other through old accounts has become a midlife crisis the exit, love has become very common, only with a long time to give confidence

Before Midnight quotes

  • Jesse: I love the way you sing. I fucked up my whole life because of the way you sing. Alright? And if you put one-eighth of the amount of time that you put into bitching into playing scales, you'd be like Django Reinhardt.

  • Celine: Still there. Still there. Still there. Gone.
