The covered bridge with rising love in the twilight stays
forever on the grasslands of her distant hometown,
like a hairpin that was accidentally lost when she was young, a small town where the spring light of
life is drizzling, and there is
a certain innocent and unforgettable love story hidden, which
he quietly parted and took away. The hope
turned into an
ancient covered bridge of lovesickness that did not want to go back after the film ended, a lonely tourist. She was trapped in the tedious housework, he was wandering around the world, and the loneliness of the soul made them experience feelings that they had never encountered in this life in just four days. Because of their preciousness, they are inseparable. However, she finally decided to stay before her husband who went out came back, and said goodbye to the man she loved deeply. She dedicated her life to her home, but spent the rest of her life thinking about him.
The plot of the film is very simple, but the emotional expression of the protagonist is very complex. With its discussion of extramarital love and the embodiment of middle-aged people's psychological emotions, it discusses the eternal topic in the world for hundreds of years - the collision of emotion and ethics, and raises such a question to people - when love and When traditional ethics and morality conflict, what should people choose? Is to choose free love, or choose responsibility for the family?
"We only have a relationship like this once in a lifetime."
How he wished she could go with him, but facing her husband, her son and daughter, he had no choice but to leave her this sentence.
"The magic of love is irresistible. But when you give up responsibility for love, the magic will disappear."
Although she could not control her thoughts of him, she couldn't give up her family responsibilities. She would rather bury her feelings deep in her heart, Perhaps only in this way, love will not disappear.
"I belonged to this family when I was born, and I hope I will belong to Robert when I die."
She wrote in the diary she wrote to her children, which is also the conclusion of the film. This is the regret of her life, so she hopes that after her death, her soul can be with him. This is also the best ending to the story.
Love is not wrong, but when love violates morality and betrays responsibility, love is wrong. Aiben did not come first, but because he arrived later, he must abandon his responsibility and be condemned. Maybe if the woman in the film chose to follow him and abandon the family, the plot would fall into the rut, and we wouldn't be so moved. We didn't have time to think about whether the woman's husband was fair, but when the woman's son decided to cherish his wife, we all wept, for the woman's true love for the man, and the right choice for the woman's love and responsibility.
The third party is innocent, because love does not come first. All people who fall in love are innocent. They have suffered the grievances of love, but they cannot enjoy the happiness brought by love. Everyone thinks that love can change everything. In fact, the power of the world is the most powerful. Love that is unacceptable to the world has no place in this world. If two people who love each other like this want to be together, they need to abandon everything except each other. What is even more cruel is that they will be charged with guilt forever and feel guilty. Just like her in the film, no matter what she chooses, she is unhappy, and it is unfair to her two men, her husband keeps her by his side, but fails to get her heart, and She loves that one person, but she can't be with her no matter what.
After watching the whole film, I couldn't calm down for a long time. This is a tragedy, a traditional film in which reason triumphs over emotion and ethics over freedom. Maybe sometimes, we really can only choose what suits us, not what we love the most. We can only do what we should do, not what we want to do. The power of love is huge, but love is actually not that important. If we don't want to fall into the quagmire of love and cannot extricate ourselves, if we don't want to see that there are so many people in the world who are trapped by love, we should learn to control and give up. It is precisely because of the rationality and maturity of human nature that this great and incomparable love story has been perfected. Such feelings are precious, and their light will always remain in my heart.
