Long-lost, delicate, pure and fresh

In a state of boredom, I accidentally watched this movie. At the beginning, I didn't think the actors were good-looking, and I didn't feel too much nudity, but with the recommendation of the plot, I began to feel the skills of European directors. It is no wonder that the old-fashioned capitalist countries, with their profound historical accumulation and rich material life, have made their understanding of human nature, sex, love, and life surpass that of Asia and even the United States.
Sex is just one of way to present love. It is not easy to make a seemingly third-level film into a film with pure love.
It's impossible to remember the massive dialogue between the characters, but from the beginning step by step, until the end of the film is really complete and honest, it seems to be logical, but it takes a lot of courage. How many people who really live together dare to be so frank with each other. Maybe it's because it's just a one-night stand, and you don't have to think too much about the consequences. It's not that in life, facing the people we care about, we always choose to hide it. As a result, it gradually begins to be unable to express the stagnation in our hearts. In the end, true candor can only be found here. Seems like a perfect one night stand.
Both protagonists have inner pains and have faced unpredictable cruel torture from the outside world, but they chose to bear it alone for their lovers and family members around each other, which is why they fell in love with each other quickly after talking overnight.
In the end, our unhappiness is because of external harm, or because of our own lack of frankness? Everyone is like a tortoise with a huge shell on its back, although it is heavy, it thinks it can protect itself. Because if you take off that shell, you may be hit by an arrow at any time, and it will never end. Honesty or protection is always an unsolved problem.

Room in Rome quotes

  • [after having sex for the first time]

    Natasha: Alba? This stays here, okay? In this room.

    Alba: Within these four walls... in Rome.

    Natasha: Promise me... what we just did stays here between us.

    Alba: But since we are here, let's have some fun.

    Natasha: All I ask is that this doesn't affect my life.

    Alba: And how do you do that?

    Natasha: By agreeing... the two of us. I have a life outside of this room and I know you have a life you want to protect. Don't you?

    Alba: Very far from years. By tomorrow, Rome will send us to each opposite end of Europe.
