Eat, eat.
Liz enjoyed food in Rome, learned the hard to pronounce but very romantic Italian, where she found the joy of living again, how happy it is to enjoy food, and she is here now, re-burning her enthusiasm for life .
An Italian companion in the film said very well: "You Americans only know how to entertain, but don't know how to be happy!" I think this may be the casual Italian, the biggest difference from the busy Americans. Bar!
This drama is derived from our lives, do we feel that we are living in a muddle-headed manner?
No enthusiasm for life, I live the same life every day... It's really not happy at all.
But happiness is so simple, there is no need for cheap beer ads to remind you: "Hey! Now is happy beer time!"
As long as you want, you can relax and enjoy all the ordinary things at any time.
And just enjoying the food, of course, can't solve Liz's problem. She needs an answer and a direction, so she bid farewell to the romantic Rome and moved on to India.
She found a spiritual teacher there, but in the process of spiritual practice, she did not feel calm, the guilt of divorce, the guilt of her ex-husband... She obviously loved him so much before, why did she no longer have enthusiasm and passion? Thinking of her ex-husband’s almost out of control reaction, thinking of her and her past...everything was "once" so beautiful, but she only felt empty, why?
With such chaotic thoughts, she couldn't calm down and pray.
Even feel painful, feel meaningless.
At this moment, she met a Texas man, Richard, who was very talkative but very pertinent.
There is also a very thoughtful Indian girl who is only seventeen years old but must be married and cannot learn the psychology she expects.
Honestly speaking, even though Richard was awkward in speaking, his appearance is undoubtedly a very important turning point in his heart. It can also be said that it has greatly changed Liz's mentality.
She can't forgive herself. The forgiveness of her ex-husband and the expectations of everyone is not the most important thing. If she can't let herself go, then others will never let her go.
After Richard finished talking about her heart, Liz stayed alone on the roof. She remembered her wedding with her ex-husband Stephen. Her memories that seemed to be vivid, after she learned to calm down and pray, they no longer hurt her, no longer Pain...
This is Pray. She is in India and has learned to pray.
Meditation is no longer a painful and difficult thing. She has got peace of mind here, not necessarily praying for God, but for anyone, even for herself.
Finally she returned to Bali. She went to find the pharmacist who had explained her future life a year ago, a cute, toothless old man, Ketut.
She has rekindled the enthusiasm for life and got peace of mind... and now, what she needs is to love again.
This is also the last word Richard said to her before leaving India.
What she needs is the courage to love again.
This is what she, Richard, Stephen, and even everyone in the world who is broken for love needs.
That is the last item, she must be in Bali, this splendid and relaxed island, to experience...Love, love.
The whole play can be said to be an incredibly relaxed pace. The length of the film is nearly two and a half hours. It is conceivable that everything about this play is so beautiful that the director is reluctant to cut any picture.
From the beauty of Rome, the customs of India...all the way to the leisure of Bali, what other place is more suitable than the resort of Bali for an affair?
Here, Liz met Felipe, who was also broken for love and also no longer believed in love. She gradually opened her heart and accepted the coming of love.
But what balance does she want? Do you have to lose your personality because of love again? No longer have their own pace, all live for each other, what is the difference between this kind of love and the failed marriage before?
In the end Ketut broke through her doubts again.
In short, in Bali, she found true love, which is also the most romantic ending of the whole drama.
There is no passion in this play, it is very simple and ordinary. The music is used just right, which makes it really comfortable to listen to. Several scenes are so easy that one almost thinks that he is also in the movie.
Treat it as a travel documentary! Don't treat it as a love movie, let alone imagine how special it is. It is very ordinary. Because of such an ordinary story, it is closer to life and closer to our hearts.
Looking back on the plot carefully, many places are really interesting, and it also talked about the doubts about people's lives nowadays.
what is love? And what is dedication? The enthusiasm of life...what is it?
