Do it when you die

When I read the book, I felt that the emotions were not rich and rich compared to "One Hundred Years", but the movie made people relive those plots, the reality that Marquez observed, grasped or imagined: the male protagonist was ugly and was injured after his first love failed, and the male protagonist was raped , Sexual enlightenment old telegraph operator, Tu Zi pigeon children killed due to carelessness, 14-year-old niece's suicide, Chinese who won a poetry award, who made a couple through love letters and became a godfather, a mother who wears makeup after she went mad, and loves her brother because of this The uncle who loves his nephew, the soap incident, the bald head trying to prevent the cream, etc., have to be loved and admired. Character determines fate, fate intertwines fate, life (emotion, soul) obeys reality, and reality is too magical. The foundation of everything is the old horse's love, love for life and land.
The disgusting thing is too Wong Kar Wai, "I've been waiting for you for fifty-one years, nine months and four days", and the useless "many years later...". Years later, in fact, the fate of every life - including all the supporting characters and even parrots - must be fulfilled immediately.
The movie went astray from the point of casting. It’s okay if Neville couldn’t make the feeling he had when he was studying, but the performance basically didn’t reach the passing line. It was like finding a few people to temporarily set up a team and started singing without rehearsing. . I love Baden, his performance may not be accurate, but he is like a complete person, not a person who is pretending and performing. In addition, since there are Baden, how can there be no my goddess Penelope! ! !
Finally, Kusturica, if you don't cherish your life and act in time, I can only do my part in the adaptation of "One Hundred Years of Solitude"!

And
read the old life of the heroine and her husband in the first part of the novel, and thought of "Love". Marriage provides only stability, not happiness, and it is always disgust that must be fought. Both marriages can basically be called marriage paradigms. They got used to each other, experienced great ups and downs and extreme disgust.
If one sentence summarizes the story, then the story is like a fairy tale. A man loves a woman all his life, and finally achieves fruition in his 80s. The heroine finally recognizes true love, and Marquez commends loyalty and perseverance. It's unbelievable to say that, and you almost doubt the author's honesty. Look through the fog to see the truth, and the ambiguity and richness of the novel supports your interpretation.
Let's assume that what can defeat love is either disgust or oblivion. Human love can expand infinitely, and the unrealized unique love for a specific object will not be replaced by another kind of love. So the ending is possible. At first, the woman was completely disappointed and rejected him because he was ugly, thin, timid, and weak that day; later they lived in a city, and they met or heard about each other from time to time; the doctor was the most prestigious in the city, and the wife also followed suit. Coming to be more noble has consolidated the male desire; the male protagonist has become richer and richer, and then his sense of mystery has been restored - the longing for love is just an attempt to enter a mysterious life for the parties involved; the male love is well written , the lines are full of wisdom. So, this is done!
"Zeno's Consciousness" also wrote a love life story. However, although he didn't get love, the one who got satisfaction in marriage was the male lead who was rejected at the beginning. Then, in a similar scene, the male protagonist sighed when he met his true love many years later: Years make people grow old, how can she be so ugly now. There is nothing more loyal than a man, and in his eyes, it is not all love.

    This heroine was chosen. When she was young, she had big bags under her eyes, and when she was old, her skin looked like a baby!

    It looks ugly and can't blame the director. The original is so keen on a self-talking narrative, the plot is less important. Changing it into a movie has to abandon the original mode, which increases the difficulty.

Love in the Time of Cholera quotes

  • Florentino Ariza: Shoot me. There is no greater glory than to die for love.

  • Florentino Ariza: Please allow me to wipe the slate clean. Age has no reality except in the physical world. The essence of a human being is resistant to the passage of time. Our inner lives are eternal, which is to say that our spirits remain as youthful and vigorous as when we were in full bloom. Think of love as a state of grace, not the means to anything, but the alpha and omega. An end in itself.
