An unfinished love 50 years ago, when both men and women are married and have children, and the grandchildren are all adults, I am afraid that it can only happen in movies! Sophie is a truth investigator for "The New Yorker" magazine. The film opens with her holding a photo of the famous kiss during World War II, looking for the male protagonist, trying to confirm that such a kissing scene was deliberately arranged. It's sincere, and it happens naturally. Then it is to find the male protagonist himself and complete this truth confirmation.
Sophie got permission from her superiors to go to Italy for their honeymoon with her fiancé Victor in advance. Victor is a chef and his dream is to have his own restaurant, so he indulges in food, wine and suppliers' cocktail parties when he arrives in Italy, while Sophie is bored to visit the address where Romeo and Juliet had a love affair, which is Juliet's Balcony, every day under Juliet's balcony, countless people who have lost their love or have a bad relationship write letters and paste them on this wall. They write their troubles about their relationship to Juliet, and hope to get Juliet's help to get rid of the pain. Sophie accidentally saw that these letters were taken away by an organization, and then obliged to write back letters to these emotionally troubled people around the world to help them get out of the low point of life. So Sophie also joined it. While helping to write a reply, she found a letter from fifty years ago. The person who wrote the letter was a fifteen-year-old girl, Claire, who is now sixty-five years old. Because of the opposition of her parents and her cowardice, Claire gave up her lover Lorenz, so Sophie wrote a reply to Claire according to the address on the envelope. The content of the reply was:
Dear Claire,
"what" and "if" are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together, side by side, and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life. What if...I don' t know how your story ended, but if what you felt then was true love, then it's never too late. If it was true then, why wouldn't it be ture now? You need only the courage to follow your heart. I don 't know what a love like Juliet's feels like, a love to leave loved ones for, a love to cross oceans for, but I'd like to believe, if I ever were to feel it, that I'd have the courage to seize it. And Claire, if you didn't, I hope one day that you will.
All my love,
Juliet.
Unexpectedly, Claire received this letter from Juliet, Sophie met the elderly Claire, and of course Claire's grandson Charlie who accompanied her grandmother. In this way, the three of them started a journey to find true love. This journey was full of joy. Sophie and Charlie had many conflicts at first. They didn't like each other until they fell in love with each other and fell in love with each other. The movie is a comedy, so of course the final outcome is that Claire finds her teenage love, Lorenz. Although the two have not seen each other for fifty years, it is never too late to meet the lovers. So they got married, and Sophie broke up with her fiancé Victor after finding out that she was in love with Charlie, and at Claire's wedding, the two young men were also successfully together. The camera feels like traveling back to the moment when Romeo and Juliet fell in love. The heroine is on the balcony and the hero is watching from the balcony.
I was moved when Claire read Sophie's reply to her at the wedding, What if? What an inconspicuous two phrases, what if... how? If so, what will happen? It's a pity that there is no such a happy ending in real life. I don't dare to pursue my true love bravely like Sophie, and there is no way to go back to the previous state. There will be regrets, but regret is also a life experience, isn't it? ? I also dare not break off the engagement with my fiancé to seek the true love I want. If I do this in this country, I will be called "Zuo". The "greedy" girl. The movie also gives people a good longing, so I will let it go slowly! When we are speaking about love , it's never too late. I really like this line and add it at the end.
