On the banks of the Mekong full of desire

Just came back from Cambodia and found this dvd to review.
The noisy and dirty environment on the Mekong River and the humid and sultry climate in Southeast Asia are like experiencing it first-hand. A hopeless love, he would rather her for money, and she never admits her love to him. It was not until the voyage of the cruise ship left the dock, and no one whispered in the middle of the night, that the truth of love was revealed.
I love this movie, it reminds me of myself. Although I do not have the financial status of the rich party, I am just as weak in pursuit of fruitless pleasure. unable to self.
The disparity in each other's background and the humiliation brought by each other cannot offset each other's attraction. There is no hope other than love. In the face of the inevitable parting, I would rather never love, I would rather just be addicted for a while, not involving promises, and nothing to do with feelings.
When the last waltz sounded, I also cried in my heart. It turns out that love can really start after the end, but I will never see that person again.
