I have a very good friend who lives a little different from mine. He has a girlfriend, but his life is always messy and full of women. I believe he loves his girlfriend so much that when his girlfriend broke up with him, he gave up his job in that city and left melancholy, but why he can't treat one person exclusively, I don't understand, Can't even try to understand, I'm convinced there is a reason, but it's elusive. His kind of love couldn't be more sincere, but no one could understand it, and if he couldn't prove it himself, terror would be the same as falsehood. Most of the things in life are fleeting, without grasping them, as if they never existed.
Thomas, a surgeon, whose best lover is Sabina, a painter, is not his way to marry and have children. By chance, he met Theresa, and they separated after a brief encounter. Later, the woman came to Prague from the country with luggage and knocked on his door. He lived his life to be his wife, and of course, their lives had one more dog, Karenin. After marriage, Teresa became more and more unbearable for her husband's wandering life, and finally ran away from home one night, and that night, the Soviet tanks drove into Prague.
At this moment, I think of what Mr. Xiao Qian said about "Bai Hua", which means those Chinese who lost their motherland and went into exile. War is the culprit. Sabina, Thomas, and Theresa all left their country for Switzerland. Whether they are foreign guests, but just fleeing abroad, there is no sense of belonging at all. Thomas meets his old lover Sabina again, and Teresa can't stand it anymore, the world is too foreign to be as she thought, and the only person she can rely on is so ethereal, she would rather choose to go back to suffering. Devastated Prague, and the one she loved did not let her down, followed suit. The price is confiscation of passports, no better jobs, and restraint by invaders. However, the so-called love is like this, you can do anything. The best brain surgeon can be a construction worker, a painter, and a farmer. He wants to be with this woman and always be her support.
Sex and love are separated here. It is difficult for everyone to understand, accept, and believe that he has done so much, why he has to have sex with other women for the sake of his lover. It is this kind of unreasonable that creates love, and no one can explain it clearly. Maybe the definition of love has nothing to do with single-mindedness and loyalty, it just depends on whether you are willing to do everything for your other half.
Finally, I saw Thomas' old-fashioned attitude. When Theresa said he wanted to leave Prague, he became helpless. For him, it was only when he was helpless that he looked cute. They finally left Prague and went to the country. Say goodbye to your life completely and never go back. This movie is based on Kundera's novel The unbearable lightness of life. What is the lightness of life? All the things we encounter are all out of chance, things that only happen once, or things that never happened at all. So what is the meaning of our life, as if it never existed. All of this is what we have seen and heard with our own eyes, and we can confirm that it is true and credible. If we insist on saying that none of these things happened, why not, who can prove it. Throughout her life, Theresa asked to prove whether this man always loved her, and she got the answer, as if she didn't get it.
