go through

He disappears, he appears, disappears, like the sun rises, the sunset, or whatever is fleeting, like our lives, we appear, and we disappear, we are so important to some people, but we are just… …go through.
——Natalia
, everyone is not as normal as we think.
As Jesse imagined the character:

an older lady, she always feels that everything feels familiar, everything she goes through, she feels like she has experienced it, she may be sitting here, it seems that nothing It was unusual, but in her mind she was actually thinking, "Didn't he say that?" "Didn't we say the same thing here yesterday?" She always had a feeling of deja vu.

First, there was such a person. He couldn't recognize his wife of 20 years. He looked in the mirror and felt that he had nothing to do with the person he saw.

Another role is completely opposite. A middle-aged housewife, as long as she has seen the face, she will never forget it. She lives in a big city, but to her, it is a small town. A taxi drives by. , she was thinking, "I took a taxi to (where) three years ago before Christmas, this is the driver", when she saw a grandma on the street, she would think, "Last year I took the subway with her, and I It's two seats away", so everyone she meets, she feels very kind.

A young man, he can only see the fleeting moment of things. For example, when he looks at the sea, he will think, one day this place will dry up and will be filled with a pile of fossils. For example, if he picks up a book, he will immediately think, "Who will be the last to read this book?".

There's also the character of an old man who can't remember what he had for breakfast, but he can still hear the song playing when he was 14 years old when he saw a naked dancer in a tourist bar.

I watched "Love Before Midnight" last night, and I encountered something again today, and I have a lot of feelings.
The characters are artistic and exaggerated, and who can deny that they haven't had a moment like this?

I often have the feeling that the third above "if you have seen a face, you will never forget it". I miss everyone who has passed through my life, whether they admit it or not, whether they want to miss it or not. The reality has passed, and the dream will supplement it; the people have passed away, and we will meet in the dream. My dreams are as vivid and colorful as reality (some people are said to be not), and are sometimes so impressive that dreams are occasionally confused with reality.

The reason why this series of chatter films is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is not that the actors are contrived and the viewers are pretending to be forceful. Especially this one. In the process of the characters discussing and communicating, we heard many details of life. We don't need actors to devote themselves to acting. We can get a glimpse of it from the words. Originally romantic and beautiful love, how should we deal with it?

"That's what's messing us up, right, this, the idea that there's going to be a spiritual mate that makes us whole so we don't have to take care of ourselves anymore." Spiritual mates are few and far between.
In reality, some people are like this, living and living, losing themselves, no hobbies, no enjoyment, only trivial housework, chattering... their life is completely for others, It is difficult to be satisfied when one’s own joy and pain are completely placed on others, so how can one blame others? They love each other and care about each other, but they are suffering... I have to admit their own shortcomings and mistakes, so be tolerant and control their own lives. That kind of bond is a high temperature calcination that neither side can bear, burning others and hurting themselves. After all, we have to live, after all, there has been and will be laughter.

During the dinner table conversation, several states of life were shown:

Anna's great-grandmother was one, and before she died, she wrote a 26-page letter to the family, and she spent three pages writing her design for a play clothing, and only one paragraph about her husband, who has a lot of great friends, about whom she mentions three things: "He went to war, we moved because of his work, and he died." She Her advice is not to spend too much on romance, friendship and work, she says, brings her the most joy. is quite independent.

The Stefanos, to use their flirtatious words, colonize each other, and the two are not in tune with each other in spirit, but they live sweetly with each other.

Patrick and his wife are in a very ideal and equal situation. "She knows how to take care of herself and asks me to do the same. There is enough space between us to reach an agreement through compromise." They were never alone. , they are two separate individuals, and they like that. Really moving.

Natalia misses her dead husband very much. Whenever she does something, she wonders what he will say, but she gradually starts to forget some little things, she starts to forget him, it's like losing him again. She would try to remember every detail of him, and it was all gone with his passing. So Natalia said: "He appears and disappears, like the sun rises, the sunset, or whatever is fleeting, like our lives, we appear, and we disappear, we are so important to some people, but we It's just... through." And only after the passage, we began to miss it unprecedentedly, and because it was unobtainable and untouchable, we became extremely cherished.

And our protagonists, Jesse and Celine, begin their endless quarrels, debates, games, reconciliation...but we as viewers know that they are still in love, hugging both physically and mentally. . .

I have wiped the shoulders of countless heaven and earth.
You have passed through my life for the longest and longest time.
How many words have been seriously hurt ,
how many worries have been wandering
, and the past of the Lord
is not so bright and magnanimous

. You said that you are going to leave my side
, please don't remind me Direction
dawn, sunset, the sun
is where you are,

how do you let me be good , I
can only stay by your side ,
midnight is coming
, you say
it

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.
