What exactly is love? Is it love between these two people with big age gaps in identity and background? The label of this film is same-sex, and what I see is restrained love. When I first met the loss of staring at the department store, the shyness of dining at the restaurant, and the tacit understanding during the trip, Rooney, who played Thersea, really touched me many times.
The so-called love has now become a marketing gimmick and a raincoat of desire. The interdependence of life and death in Korean dramas, the fearless gap in Japanese dramas, the transcendence of taboos in American dramas, and the dramatic conflicts in Taiwanese movies have not only raised our aesthetic standards, but also made us disdain for ordinary and bland getting along. Secret love, open love, confession, jealousy, quarrel, reconciliation, marriage, breakup, all ritualistic commemorations, gifts and vows once exchanged are abstracted into necessary elements.
But in the movie, Thersea stares at her lover's obsessive eyes, sniffs her clothes with a satisfied smile, loves so deeply that she can't hold her cheeks, tells her stubborn tears that she can't refuse, and sees through the rain curtain of the car window. Looking back, these are heart-wrenching moments that I have truly experienced. "I can't say no," she said. Yes, this love, so simple and pure, I can't refuse.
