Pretend that time won't change anything

On the first date, Anna read her article to Jacob. She said, "Completion is just a luxury. It is these halves that divide me into two halves...bloody you, bloody me."

This passage foreshadows the end of the two.

I want you, I need you, I love you, I miss you, LIKE CRAZY.

"Looking for the missing corner" is the beginning of many love stories. There is always a moment when we produce her/he is the person who makes me complete. It is difficult to tell each other whether it is the hormone or the essence of the soul.

The story always leads to the same destination by different routes. The difference lies in the process. Jacob and Anna’s alien relationship (long-distance relationship) is undoubtedly wiped out bit by bit under the gap of space, but compared to the separation of the two places, cultural differences, and family backgrounds. Wait, the movie "Like Crazy" makes me even more concerned about the fact that if a person can contact you with mucous membranes and exchange liquids, then whether this person can be 100% connected with you, it seems that it is not so. Importantly, in those days when they could not stay together, both Jacob and Anna had a physical derailment--maybe they could not speak of derailment, after all, the two of them tacitly agreed to this behavior.

The irony is that the two seem to be confident that their love for each other exceeds the physical temptation, but it is actually a fallacy. As early as when they walked on different paths in life, the so-called love has long lost its original appearance. Jacob has his own studio, Anna is working hard to become the chief writer of the magazine column. After leaving her student status, the people they see and the things they encounter have changed and grown in each of them. If the two of them cannot adapt to this It is only natural to change, accept the growth of the other party, and drift away.

But Jacob and Anna have been disconnected for so many years, let alone a sense of responsibility. When they start and end their relationship with a third person without authorization, they have no responsibility at all. In my opinion, they are more reluctant to admit that they don’t love. His cowardice is unwilling to admit that selfishness that cannot bear loneliness is at work.

Even though the long-running immigration problem was resolved in the end, Anna set foot on Jacob's land again, and resolved the jet lag and distance. The gap between the two was already a gulf that was impossible to bridge from her original intention.
