If only love were so simple

I just finished watching "Love, Simple 2014", I feel warm, this may be the type that my cousin likes. This is a natural and healing movie I've seen in a long time.
The reason why you fall in love with someone is because there is something in him that can make up for what you lack. As a blind man, Leo is also troubled by the fact that he can't see the world. Before he met Gabriel, there was only Gina in his daily life. Gina is the kind that is very considerate. Girl, so I never suggested doing anything beyond what a blind person can do in the past, and has always lived a peaceful life. Until Gabriel showed up, he belonged to the adventurous person, he took Leo to the movies, went to see the lunar eclipse, let him listen to songs other than classical music, took him to dance, and went to parties. And at the end of the film, Leo is riding a bicycle at a high speed, and Gabriel is standing on the back seat of the bicycle, smiling as he crosses the Avenue of the Sun. At this moment, I think of the song "You Are My Eyes". Gina has done Leo's eyes before, but it is different. It is too protective and considerate. This kind of routine brings restraint and boredom. After Gabriel became Leo's eyes, it really made him break through the routine and began to challenge, making him gradually become the kind of normal person Leo always wanted to be, doing visible things with everyone.
The love between Leo and Gabriel is very natural, and the acting skills of the two actors are not rough (maybe they are trapped by love after watching the exaggerated acting skills for a long time), there is no dramatic strong love at first sight, all the feelings The fusion of oneness is based on the establishment of mutual dependence and understanding between the two, as well as suspicion. Leo couldn't see Gabriel, and still fell in love with him, which overturned the need to look at the face. Many places in the movie are full of the brilliance of humanity. The parents' love for Leo and the supporting scenes are especially touching. When I think about how happy and beautiful it is to be the eyes of the person I love, because this is the realization of one's own value maximize. It is also wonderful to be taken care of by someone you love. The most beautiful but you love me.
There's one scene in the movie that really stuck with me, where Leo keeps sleeping with the smell of Gabriel's clothes. I've always called this a pheromone. When I liked Wu Lan, I felt that he smelled of Winnie the Pooh. When I went to take a bath at his house, I specially wrote down the scent of his shower gel, but I never found it. Later, he left a canvas belt with me, and it was stained with his faint tobacco scent. I used it to smell it every day, but I didn't dare to smoke it too hard, for fear that the smell would dissipate. Later, when I was in college, I was particularly greedy for the smell of Liu Chen's hands. He always wouldn't let me smell it, laughing at me and calling me a pervert. When I was in Hongcun, I saw him drying a plaid shirt on the wire. When it was dark at night, I ran to take a deep breath, trying to remember that smell and wanting that smell to stay on the tip of my nose forever.
Leo has been longing for the arrival of love and caring about the first kiss, and finally, happiness finally arrived.

The Way He Looks quotes

  • Giovana: [watching Karina meet Gabriel outside the boys' bathroom] She's such a slut, isn't she? There. She's made her move. She is all friendly, talking to him, playing with her hair. She touched his shoulder, Leo. And his hand! She doesn't even know if he's washed it.

  • Carlos: I was thinking about the exchange program you talked about.

    Leonardo: Really?

    Carlos: Really, but you can't talk while you're shaving.

    Leonardo: Sorry.

    Carlos: I'm trying to understand your desire to go so far away. I think it's natural, especially at your age, to want to see other places, meet new people, make other friends. I think it's normal, but I also think it's very natural to fight with your parents. I was like that, too, but it's too extreme to leave the country to run away from the fights. You know... I'm thinking about talking to your mother about the program, but first I need to understand if you want to go for the right reasons. Do you agree, Leo? Do you agree?

    Leonardo: Can I talk now?
