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.

Before Midnight quotes

  • Nina: Like sunlight, sunset, we appear, we disappear. We are so important to some, but we are just passing through.

  • Celine: You know what? The only time I get to think now is when I take a shit at the office. I'm starting to associate thoughts with the smell of shit.

    Jesse: Ha ha. That is a good line. I gonna use that in a book some day.

    Celine: I'm sure you will. And that'll be the best line in the book.
