Love is a one-sided statement of the lover - episode 2

Brother Xu said, "Emotions should be confused, and don't be clear. Sometimes what others say, the parties are easy to associate, and the relationship is very fragile."

When I first watched this movie, I saw the emotional fragility, dodging, hiding, restraint, selfishness, and finally came to the conclusion that long-term intimacy will die out. However, such a simple sentence can't actually cover the whole process of "why come here", so I will revisit it recently.

Between the first two days and the second episode, Marianne fell into deep thought when she heard the client's statement "My husband and I erased each other's existence." Recalling the dodging and unnatural answers of Marianne during the interview, love may have disappeared at that time, and only habits and life are left. But habitual behavior doesn't let the person know what the deeper consciousness is. Self-understanding and awareness need opportunities to be opened.

After the client statement, Marianne suddenly realized that the person I love doesn't seem to exist in my life, love is just a unilateral statement of my state, and it doesn't matter whether the other person responds or not. But is this listening self-awakening or a sabotage of love?

When Marianne talked with reporters, she was talking about self-questioning. She recalled how the two people's love for ten years was just how they got to know each other. Marianne said, "It's enough to be friendly with your partner, reasonable expectations, love is unnecessary", after all, the two people can't even agree on having sex. Marianne's sideways stare lying on the bed, staring at ego, not John,

It wasn't until she encountered the client's statement that Marianne suddenly realized. In the past ten years, her understanding of love in marriage has become her own misreading of life itself. When she talks about love, what she is talking about has nothing to do with love, and love has nothing to do with partners in ten years. When Marianne made a friendly statement to reporters, their marriage had also ended.

Marriage is a hand that goes out and goes back, like the beer and sandwiches that Marianne picks up in the holiday cabin, and then hesitates and puts it in the fridge.

    The originator of ramble films? Anyway, I can see that at least Woody Allen's line style is stealing from Bergman. The 167-minute film has no music, almost no location, and is all supported by the dialogue and the actors' body language, and the filming is so good, skill! I don't think of Bergman anymore as one of those mountains I don't want to climb.

    The husband is indifferent and only interested in himself. As for the wives, they showed their desires in their respective identities like a duck to water, and then united to share the thrill of betrayal. Looking around, almost all families are like this. The pain of marriage is so lasting and deep, and we can't wait to turn to it.

Scenes from a Marriage quotes

  • Marianne: I felt inadequate at work and at home, and I was a washout in bed too. I was hedged in by all the griping and endless demands! Goddamn you! Was it so strange that I used sex for leverage? I was outnumbered, having to fight you, both sets of parents and society! When I think about what I endured, I could scream! I tell you this: never again! You sit there whining about conspiracies. Well, it serves you right! I hope you'll have it rammed down your throat that you're a useless parasite.

    Johan: You're being utterly grotesque!

    Marianne: So what? That's what I've become!

  • Marianne: Sometimes you ask such goddamn silly questions.

    Johan: Sorry. Are you angry with me?

    Marianne: I'm not angry, but I'm on the verge of tears. The trouble with me is that I can't get angry. I wish that for once in my life I could really lose my temper, as I sometimes feel I have every right to. I think it would change my life. But that's not the point. You spoke earlier about loneliness. That bit about being strong on your own. I don't believe in your gospel of isolation.I think it's a sign of weakness.

    Johan: What's wrong, Marianne?

    Marianne: It's so... humbling.

    Johan: What's humbling?

    Marianne: I think about you... and I think about myself and about the future. I can't see how you're going to cope without me. Sometimes I think in desperation, "I must look after Johan. He's my responsibility. It's up to me to make sure he's all right. That's the only our lives will be worthwhile."

    Marianne: I don't believe people are strong all on their own. You have to have someone's hand to hold.
