In the first part, Celine mentioned that he hated the passive aggression of his parents the most - seemingly democratic and enlightened, but in fact never delegated the right to choose. In the third installment, Celine accused her lover at the hotel of becoming her parents.
Rather than saying that Jessi became the passive aggression mentioned in Celine's first part, it's better that they gradually entered each other's hearts. From the first to the third, two people are romanticists from the inside out: one is a romanticist of life-in 1994, he invited a girl he had never met to get off the train, and returned six months later as scheduled. Vienna platform, looking out of the window on Broadway in the wedding car, what I miss in my heart is the girl I never knew, who fantasizes about the peaceful life of my ex-wife, son and the current one after the divorce; the other is a cultural romantic - I hate the patriarchal society in my heart, Disgusted with media control, joined a non-governmental non-profit organization.
For Celine, all Jessi did was a gentle resistance to reality - trying to see her son once a week was seen as unable to resolve the entanglement of her previous marriage, and writing herself into a novel was seen as satisfying male readers A French woman’s wishful romantic imagination, accepting an invitation from a Greek writer is seen as maintaining a sour society among literati and poker—a seemingly aggressive sacrifice of empathy, but a false sacrifice for more control. Celine lives within her own romantic framework, rejecting Jessi's entry—whether it's intimacy, family life, or personal work—the seemingly passive and pitiful cooperative, but in fact holds the initiative in the relationship. One to cover, one to shred. If there is some kind of push and pull between two people, it is probably a fig leaf to tear apart life crazily, and one to cover up and make up for it afterward.
Romantics probably live in their own world all their lives, some tearing reality all their lives, some writing fiction all their lives.
During the dinner, the old lady talked about her lover, and with the passage of time and the blurring of her memory, she lost him again. Celine told the same story on the beach, and a good friend who was suffering from leukemia lamented the world's mediocrity.
Romantics are slowly awakened by reality, what is gone does not come back, what is gone does not come back, and although it is not beautiful, this is life.
At the end of the film, the camera is zoomed out, and it is unknown what will happen to the lives of the two people - moving the family to Chicago, or not living in a different country? We only know that the protagonist of the movie has become a member of the river drinking and chatting and disturbing all beings.
The entropy of the universe is increasing, and whether you are a romantic or a realist will eventually disappoint.
