another kind of love

In fact, it is a very desperate story, but against the backdrop of the blues, it looks very poignant.

The story does not focus too much on the past of the hero and heroine. It is quite an understatement to bring out the male wives and ions to disperse their sorrows by drinking alcohol, and the females are unkind and degenerate. Two desperate people met in Las Vegas, they cherished each other and depended on each other. She asked him why he was coming to Las Vegas, and he told her he was here to get drunk. Seeing this, this movie seems to have only two endings: either men and women find their sustenance in life because of their love for each other, change themselves from now on, and live together; .

As a watchman, I certainly hope it is the former, so when I see the hero continue to drink without remorse, I can't help but fight for it. But if it's not the end of the world that the separation of the wife and children is not the end of the world, and the hero should cheer up and live a good life, it will be pointless to discuss. In reality, human beings are so fragile. Seeing that their intact life has become tattered, every time they wake up, they can only think of everything they have lost, and they simply have no strength to go on. Drinking and drug use, like all other forms of addiction, is a spiral of a vicious circle.

The male protagonist's way of escaping reality is to drink, but the female protagonist's way of escaping reality is to love the male protagonist. She told him she just didn't want to feel alone anymore. Originally, I didn't understand that the heroine would be so good to the hero. As a prostitute, she should have been numb to men, but in her confession, she seemed to be in love with a young girl, but when she looked at it, she felt that the heroine's relationship with the hero was not like love, but more like kind of addiction. Her life is also in tatters, and only the appearance of the male protagonist has some reason to live. He is her wine, and she resolves loneliness with him. When her horse Pi died, she actually didn't have to be a prostitute anymore. But in the end she still went to work. The reality is that she can't go back at all, and she doesn't know how to live except to continue prostitution for a living. Just like the male protagonist, he doesn't know how to live other than drinking and dying.

The heroine sells herself so that the hero can continue to drink, and the hero drinks harder because she can't bear the heroine to sell herself. The only thing he can't do, he told her, is to tell him not to drink. She said she understood and gave him a wine bottle. She told him she was going to work and he said he respected her judgment and gave her a pair of earrings to wear at work. There is no hope at all in this relationship, because the two will not change themselves, or they have no ability to change themselves. But there's also a different kind of poignant beauty because both of them completely accept the other's unbearableness.

There is a love that changes each other, and there is a love that accepts each other. There is a kind of love out of pursuit, there is a kind of love out of need. The two lived the most drowning life, but showed a most sincere, pure, and inclusive love. Not for enjoyment, not for the future, beyond life and death. If love is like this, there is no regret in death.
