Love is an immortal disease

Opening nonsense: Code novels have used up a lot of stalks and felt that they needed to be recharged, so I looked for this 2001 romance film to watch. I don't know who is used to it. I can't watch it if it's not in high-definition. I had to pay five yuan for Sohu Video, but I was more and more aggrieved because my own internet speed couldn't keep up.

Romance films don't have any complicated backgrounds. The male protagonist and the female protagonist fell in love at first sight, and then they were reluctant to separate by accident, and then they finally met after many years of hard work. The original English name of this film is serendipity. My senior Longman told me it was "the natrural ability to make interesting or valuable diascoveries by accident", and my Oxford English-Chinese dual commentary was "the ability to discover by accident". And the translation team of that year roughly translated it into "Romantic Fate". But I believe that the screenwriter used this word to emphasize the so-called subjective initiative.

The heroine is a natural incapable of being a dead star, and of course we can also regard it as a kind of self-protection instinct. In the case of each other's boyfriend and girlfriend, it was a bit difficult for this girl to leave everything together because of a chance encounter, so she tossed n ways to "test" the fate of the two people. As a result, after a toss and a toss, they parted ways.

Then the movie takes us directly to a few years later. The male and female protagonists are about to get married (with others, of course), but they have not forgotten the stranger they have only been with for a few hours, and each launched a crazy Because one did not know the full name and the other did not know the phone number, the search was very difficult. It was so difficult that both of them spent countless efforts and suffered all kinds of pain, so that in the end they were unwilling to talk to the existing That person is married.

As a very serious moral beep and vindicator, I've always hated this way of sacrificing the happiness and joy of others in order to fulfill myself. But how many love stories from the past to the present did not step on a group of cannon fodders, waving the flag and shouting: "Leave the wrong person, go to the right person", running towards the embrace of true love with self-indulgent tears and smiles. Probably the writers and screenwriters of these love stories are all emotional experts who understand the human instinct to sin. Toss is simply the best catalyst for love. Without pain or waiting, people just don't know whether they love or not.

In this somewhat templated story, there are two very symmetrical scenes, that is, the heroine and the hero's good friend Ji (Ji) both complained: "I really should develop a medicine for this disease." Yes, extreme romance is a disease that needs to be cured. Both male and female protagonists madly believe in the so-called fate and omens. For this reason, they either run around or give up suddenly. So in my opinion, the so-called fate is just a kind of catalysis to one's own heart with the help of various externalized representations. Romance did not come to you inexplicably, but you found it yourself. Therefore, the hero and heroine finally found each other after countless misses. This is the destiny they believe in and choose.

And I, who had been complaining all the time, finally got into the movie at the last minute, and accidentally thought of someone who told me about the movie.

Is it a destiny? Or it's just what I believe.
