There is no such thing as one of the best films of his self-deconstruction.

read it. . Made me cry once. Weeping for a kind of sympathy, feeling lonely and helpless for a kind of self. How much this character wants to create an elegant life and emotional love movie atmosphere, but unfortunately he can't make that feeling, only the person he likes the most, that person in his heart is also the person who knows him best, but that person is What is difficult for him to reach is that because of his indecision and false compassion (actually selfish, he cares about the evaluation of him by the outside world), that person finally told him that in fact, you lack the ability to love, and only then did you express his regret. And his wife doesn't understand him, and he even thinks his wife would understand how wonderful the life he's created if she were more patient. How naive he is, hehe, his wife can't stand his unrestrained, deliberate lies, this is his greatest sorrow, he is very angry, but he can't change, he is very cowardly, he is very compromising. He is not radical, he is good at grasping the heart of the opposite sex, he is very delusional, he wants everything and does not want to lose everything around him, but he is powerless, only in dreams can he obsess about the laws of all things. He longs for love, but what he really longs for is to be loved by others, and then to control other people's resistance, so that others can't leave even if they want to leave. Instead, he is very attached to his bondage. This is what he wants like a child. Life. He has a deep Oedipus complex, and because his mature cognition does not allow his behavior, he endures it. I'm not married yet this year, but like him, I live a life that lacks love but longs for love. This text has nothing to do with the plot, just the kind of last transparent happiness. Hope you can be as happy as him.

Luisa Anselmi: Don't explain. I didn't ask you anything. Just spare me the shame of hearing you swear to a mess of lies.

Guido: What is this sudden happiness that makes me tremble, giving me strength, life? Forgive me, sweet creatures. I hadn't understood, I didn't know. It's so natural accepting you, loving you. And so simple. Luisa, I feel I've been freed. Everything seems so good, so meaningful. Everything is true. I wish I could explain. But I didn't know how to. So. Everything is confused again, as it was before. But this confusion is... me. Not as I'd like to be, but as I am. I'm not afraid anymore of telling the truth, of the things I don't know, what I'm looking for and haven't found. This is the only way I can feel alive and I can look into your faithful eyes without shame. Life is a celebration. Let's live it together! This is all I can say Luisa, to you or the others. Accept me for what I am, if you want me. It's the only way we might be able to find each other.
Luisa Anselmi: I don't know if what you said to me is right. But I can try if you help me.
