love in hindsight

Tess 2022-04-24 07:01:18

I read the novel yesterday, and I heard that the movie is also well done, so I came to watch it. After reading it, I seem to have experienced a subtle contest unique to love. This kind of comparison was not noticed at the time of the comparison, and only gradually became aware of it when there was a time and space distance from love. The daze at that time, many years later, I only feel regretful.

In the face of love, I have always been a slow person. I can't be surprised if I don't write well.

What kind of love is this? Rebellious, sensitive, weak, and somewhat regretful.

When love is about to arrive, both parties show the temptation and conquest of each other. Tony said to Jane after the two of them had sex for the first time, you're not a virgin anymore, so I'm not going to marry you. He said it with a smile, with a smug look in his eyes. This triumph may have come from his possession of a young white woman with his money. He has always disliked himself, and only found heroism in front of her. So when he was about to part, when he heard her say that she was with him for the sake of money, that heroic spirit was also wiped out. He knew that his money was not his, but his father's. He couldn't take her, he was as poor as a coward. He has no self-supporting capital, he is a coward, he knows that.

When she heard that he would not marry her, her expression seemed to be in a hurry and embarrassment for a moment, but then she smiled, I would not like a Chinese. That is the pride of a white man in front of a yellow man. It was a matter of righteous pride, and it was a no-brainer to cover up the gaffe at that time. At the beginning of a relationship, we all seem to be looking for a sense of security that is built on a sense of superiority to each other.

I always want to believe that she has always had some slight feelings for him, but because of the family relationship and the gap between her and his identity, this kind of relationship is doomed to be fruitless. So her feelings for him can only be hidden in the bottom of her heart, and on the surface she only shows that she is with him because of money.

Yeah, she got the money, he got the sense of conquest, isn't it?

But is it just that? That dark tide must be pity for the other party. Otherwise, he wouldn't do so much for her, help her brother pay off his debts, send their family back to China, and arrange a good life for her. He knew that his weak self could only do this.

She played the evil side of love and hid all her feelings, but that was her deepest love for him. When she followed him and said word by word - the words he wanted her to say, he could turn around to be sad, but she wanted to pull herself away, she should be sad but couldn't be sad.

Disappointment and separation may be the best ending for this unacceptable love. Yes, no matter how strong the love is, what is the meaning of this love that is destined to be separated? The deeper the love, the harder it will be, the more painful it will be. Her greatest kindness to him is to let him go. But this kind of letting him go, doesn't she want to leave the last dignity in front of him?

If we will be separated, I hope I can calmly see you happy. When he married his long-established wife, she looked at him not far away, like a crowd of onlookers, neither sad nor happy. He looked at her several times, was he expecting her to give him the courage to rebel, and was he trying to capture the real feeling he had when he was with her? But she kept looking at him so calmly, not swaying his decision. You know you're too weak to refuse this marriage, so be it.

Finally, she and her family left by boat to go back to France, and when she saw the black car in the corner, she could finally see him with all her might. At that time, I felt that it was such a blessing to be able to express my love freely. The music on the boat sounded and brought her back to her body, so that she could finally feel sadness and regret for that rebellious and helpless love.
