How can you weep only for the death of a great man?
How can you cry if you don't know him so well and what happened to him?
If I hadn't seen this, how could I have known that he and her wife had such a love, those contradictions, those painful things. If a person can't even care about his own happiness, how can we talk about the happiness of the world? It's better to let those who sacrifice the ego to complete the big ego die. But they are so in love. . . Who can guess the whole sentence from just a few initials, if not that person?
Did you find it? are you lost? The one who can make you have the joy that scares you.

    Helen Mirren undoubtedly gave a peak performance! The story, the soundtrack, and the framing of the film are as refined and flawless as its overall effect.

The Last Station quotes

  • Leo Tolstoy: "Your youth and your desire for happiness reminds me cruelly of my age and the impossibility of happiness for me." When I was courting Sofya, she was so young and pure, it seemed impossible that I'd ever have her. I didn't want to tell her how I felt and I wanted to tell her nothing else. So I wrote down a string of letters and asked her if she could decipher them. She looked completely confused, thinking it was a game or... I gave her one clue. The firs two Y's, I said, stand for "your youth" and then the most miraculous thing happened. She simply spoke the phrase, my phrase as if she had read my mind. In that moment, we both knew we would always be together. For those first years, we were incredibly happy, terrifyingly happy.
