The end of love is hell

I watched this film in bits and pieces after a few boring afternoons.
Several impressive shots are always dangling in my head:
Mimi in a red dress and white sneakers is on the bus, and the wind blows the girl's slightly tousled blonde hair.
At breakfast mimi spreads milk on her breasts and oscar licks it.
Mimi's weird wig on the plane and the skinny moon outside the window.
The blurred atmosphere of the New Year's party and the dance of the two women as if they were no one else.

Love is a contradictory thing, just like cooking, the lack of heat or overheating can not achieve the effect of complete color, fragrance, love is even better than cooking, because there is no standard in love, you do not know what is the best effect. So people have their own explorations. Just like the British couple, they respected each other like a guest, and they have gone through a similar 7 years. Or choose to be vigorous and linger day and night in a warm room with a fireplace.
If love is really that simple, then we can reach the same destination by different paths. The love that gradually fades after the seven-year itch will become family affection or encounter a new spark and then enter the next cycle of the seven-year itch, and start to choose the one that burns to the fullest. Lovers can go their separate ways after returning to reality (as Oscar once tried to do)
But, however, love is a river with lust, jealousy, hatred and sadistic desires running through it. So we can't leave easily.
This is the first time I saw Mimi cut Oscar's clothes with a knife with a cold light, I thought the back line of the film would be Mimi's more and more cruel sm method, Polanski forgive me I'm so naive, when people are in love You are constantly looking for breakthroughs on the road, dreaming of bathing in the brilliance of heaven again, and getting a long-lost passion. The actual situation is likely to be that you are getting closer and closer to the gate of hell.
I don't understand why mimi, who is so beautiful, wants to hang himself on the tree of oscar. Maybe this is true love. It covers everything, even loves his abandonment, loves his abuse, and sticks to only being together. Even if he calls someone else's name during sex, even if he says her hair looks like a poodle.

Use hard love, use willingness, use loss of self, use neuroticism, use despair, use dying, and then what?
If you add too much salt when cooking, the dish will not be salty, but will be bitter.
mimi can finally take care of oscar forever, she injects him with dirty needles, watching him crawl naked across the floor from the cold tub, she cooks dinner, pours wine for oscar and then presents a hot dance show with black men and then sex Performance.
Is the thrill of revenge as enchanting as the night in Paris that our heroine never tires of, or maybe she just wants to stimulate her heart and find the feeling of still being in love and still alive? And has Oscar also found peace and home in the abuse, and gradually see himself in the fog?

Cruelty and serenity come together strangely in their lives.
Now that they can't leave each other, Oscar can even watch other men flirt with Mimi with a smile, encouraging men who are eager to try to be seduced.

I always felt that Oscar and Mimi should have acquiesced in their future destiny before they got on the boat. The rough sea brought a terrifying premonition, and the mess after the New Year's party indicated that everything should come to an end. It's a pity that I didn't see Mimi's face when the gunshots sounded. I don't know if that beautiful face was peaceful, just like she knew it would be like this for a long time.

Darling, we are all too greedy. . But who is in love who is not greedy. .
The days that are as calm as water are tiresome, and the passion is stillborn before it bursts out. How unwilling. .
If you're a brave person, then go ahead and love and experience those love-hate feelings with all your might.

Even if that feeling devours you, even if the end of love is hell.
