Always, the love. Always, the hours.

Obscure literature and art always easily afflict the soul with unsolvable depression.

After the movie ended, I was still immersed in a very strong emotion that I could not escape for a long time. I spent a whole night thinking about the meaning of death and the value of life .
I don't think there will be another film for a long time to surpass its attack and invasion of me.

I like movies that revolve around emotions, like short and deep lines with lingering voices, and like the real heart beating in the breath and the layering that overflows from the eyes.
I like Nicole Kidman's performance, Virginia's breath and smell make me unable to extricate myself, and I don't even want to blink...
Every line in the play that is indifferent to itching touched me, and every character struggled in their own situation The sense of contradiction on the brink of death makes me sad. It is really rare to show such a complex and abstract mentality and values ​​in just 100 minutes.

Until the end, I indulged myself in the negative emotions of the characters in the play. The gastric juice kept rolling, as if it was slightly tilted, and there would be a strong corrosion like esophageal reflux. However, the film always has a certain sense of mission, or Social responsibility, so Virginia's monologue at the end becomes a ray of hope: "Dear Leonard, to look life in the faith, always to look life in the faith, and to know it, for what it is. At last, to know it, to love it, for what it is, and then, to put it away."
