Love also respects human nature

It is rare to selectively watch pure love films. After watching too many episodes where the protagonists end up together after twists and turns, they will feel boring. I can accept all the happy endings in fairy tales in cartoons, but watching adults together like princes and princesses in fairy tales, thinking about who has never lived, no matter how fragile they are, they don't need fake perfection.
David, a 23-year-old boy, fell in love with a 37-year-old divorced woman named Lafite. This is just the shell of this story. People are nervous but accept it, because we are willing to embrace any surreal imagination about love. Beautiful feelings are beautiful because they are separated from the atmosphere, but they are changed because life must finally land on the ground.
Love is free, not bound by age or religion. People are also free, even in the name of love, they cannot be bound. There are so many things to experience in life, Uma Thurman's choice tells us that love is not a bondage, but a fulfillment. Love is human nature, and individual self-seeking is also human nature.
In the film, although the people who care about them are extremely worried about the ending of the two, they still respect their love. Mother Lisa, as Lafite's psychotherapist, tried her best to suppress her worries about the relationship and gave her advice, but she never intervened. That unstoppable repression is precisely the greatest respect for love itself. Love is never disassembled by external force. Two people have different perceptions of their relationship with each other, and their plans for the future are not in the same direction. Although the other person fascinates you, it also makes you faint. Human nature is so real. Only when you respect your own feelings and make choices, and let each other be yourself, can life go down calmly.
