At the end of the film, I suddenly lost my mind and remembered that I was lying alone on the reclining chair on the balcony of the room on the cruise ship and looked at the endless sea. I was saddened and realized that the two protagonists in the picture had disappeared, only the waves and the beach were left. I don’t know if they walked out. The picture still dissolves and disappears. I want to go back and watch it again. Think about it or forget it. Maybe there are many people and things in life who left without knowing it. Maybe they left some group photos. Maybe there was an elegy but what they really stayed. Maybe it's just the emotions we experienced at that time, we can't really have anything, we can only keep filling our memories with experiences, and one day I will look back and say to myself that they used to come and we cried and laughed together, if there are still people at this time It's so so so worth celebrating to be by my side

George O'Hearn: Beautiful women are invisible.
David Kepesh: Invisible? What the hell does that mean? Invisible? They jump out at you. A beautiful woman, she stands out. She stands apart. You can't miss her.
George O'Hearn: But we never actually see the person. We see the beautiful shell. We're blocked by the beauty barrier. Yeah, we're so dazzled by the outside that we never make it inside.

David Kepesh: I think it was Betty Davis who said old age is not for sissies. But it was Tolstoy who said the biggest surprise in a man's life is old age. Old age sneaks up on you, and the next thing you know you're asking yourself, I'm asking myself, why can't an old man act his real age? How is it possible for me to still be involved in the carnal aspects of the human comedy? Because, in my head, nothing has changed.
