Another clue in the film is David's emotional ups and downs. He is over sixty years old, but he is quite academically cultivated, tasteful, knowledgeable, and famous. He is familiar with outstanding paintings, plays beautiful tunes, is proficient in photography, and maintains sports habits. He has had many women, but he has lost ground to young Consula. In front of such flawless beauty, he had low self-esteem, dared not face her friends, her family, dare not take responsibility, and dare not face public opinion. Like a child, escape, contradiction, and self-torture brought her pain and regret. After her graduation ceremony, he dared not contact her for several years. Until, until she gradually cut off her long hair and took the initiative to find him with short hair. She has breast cancer. She said that she would not feel distressed if she cut her hair slowly. She said that over the years, only you have been so obsessed with my body. He told her that he would always be by her side. He took the final image of her perfect body and slowly developed it. There was a silent tear from the corner of her eye. However, why didn't he say it earlier, why couldn't he be with her magnanimously at the beginning of love? Have to wait for her to be incomplete, have to wait for her illness to be equal to his old age, before he dares to love each other magnanimously? Only when there are defects in each other can you have the confidence to love each other, is that so?
Love with a big age gap can be real, as long as you are magnanimous enough, as long as you are willing to fight the world. I saw Consula looking at him with hopeful eyes in the restaurant, and I saw Consula smiling like a child when he finally agreed to attend her graduation. Her love for him is real, without a trace of trouble, without thinking too much. But David was too timid. At that time, he was too cowardly.
But the romance and innocent smile on the beach are real, the flowing tune he played for her is real, the passion and warmth between the beds are real, and love really existed. I think that's enough.
