Don't give up on marriage, don't ignore communication

Watching this film by chance, I don't know the storyline or the award status. The nearly three-hour dialogue reminds me of the "Love Trilogy" in Paris.

In the process of watching, anger, pain, escape... With the tearing of the perfect marriage, the emotions reach the extreme, and every cell is screaming. However, the older I get, the more I realize that many things have become the norm. The attraction to each other decays, the inevitable demise of love, the habit of left-handed and right-handed...

The more sad I feel, the more sober I become. Look at other people's stories and look at yourself. If you step into the siege of marriage one day in the future, how will you face it? After four years of cover up by the male protagonist, the wife mistakenly thought that the relationship was intact. The communication between husband and wife is lost, trivial words are flooded all over the body...

Perhaps this blocks communication, but a ritualistic and solemn in-depth dialogue is an indispensable existence in an intimate relationship. There is no such thing as a perfect soul-mate, even if each other is broken, if both parties have worked hard for the relationship, it is not all scars.

The state in the film is a bit complicated, and they cannot get along with each other but cannot be separated from each other. When deception and derailment become common occurrences, the absurdity of the male and female protagonists seems to have an explanation. There is no need to be responsible anymore, there is no bondage that belongs to the other party, and the attraction reappears.

How ridiculous and true. The modern institution of monogamy in marriage is, to some extent, counterinstinctive. In the present and future of the highly developed civilization, the demand is not only to satisfy the instinct, but how broad the boundaries of the spiritual universe are. It may be much more beautiful to choose the person who is in your heart, stay together for a lifetime, and refuse the temptation than to succumb to biological instincts. Even if 99% of the data becomes "normal", try to create a mode of getting along that makes each other comfortable. Normality may not be suitable for both parties, do not give up marriage, do not ignore communication, you are yourself in marriage.
