(I don't have fancy wording, because I don't read books and learn English, so I'm sorry...)


Most movies that celebrate love are perfect stories that revolve around handsome faces, Amour is a basically no soundtrack, quiet, A movie that realistically depicts how perfect love is slaughtered by time.

Love, everyone should think of sweetness, tacit understanding, passion, happiness...but the first thing is responsibility.

Since Anne had her first stroke, the old man gave up normal social activities, He is at home all day, and develops a life of 24-hour nursing. He has to endure the 180° transformation of his lover (negative attitude towards life, self-defeating, unable to take care of himself in life, increasingly haggard and distorted appearance, unconscious howling day and night... )

The old man took care of Anne without hesitation, because Anne hated the hospital, and he promised not to take her back.

Let me ask, when we are immersed in sweet and happy love, we promise each other and even each other's family that we will take care of her for the rest of my life, regardless of life, old age, sickness or death. When making a promise, do we really take into account the cruel reality and are ready to stay with each other regardless of everything?

Anne has been paralyzed after suffering a second stroke. Lao Qiang had no choice but to hire a carer, but no matter how persistent and hard he unilaterally worked, there was only more pain waiting for them, both physically and mentally. So Laodou followed Anne's last wish, endured the grief of losing his lover, and ended This lingering breath. He bought flowers and dressed up Anne's remains. In order to stay with her for a longer time and prevent the corpse odor, he sealed the bedroom with tape and wrote down what he wanted to say to Anne every day, after all, they It’s been a long time since I had a good conversation.

One day the old man woke up and saw Anne again taking care of the housework as usual. It might be a hallucination, or it might be Anne’s soul, he took care of everything in the house and left with her, maybe he came They are familiar with the riverside, quietly leaving this world...


Love is respect, love is commitment, love is responsibility.
