Juliet's smile

Prague, what a romantic name. The unbearable lightness of life has become synonymous with literature and art. The movie helped me and let me relive the timelessness of Kundera's writing. I didn’t really understand Milan Kundera, but I was very impressed with the descriptions in it, such as the plot of Tereza and Thomas on the bed, and I couldn’t tell the story of Thomas’ wandering and the prodigal son. So different, confused between the light and heavy of life.
I started to see Philip Kaufman and the French actress Juliet Binoche that I met in Kielovsky, and then I fell in love with this film deeply, and I thought I loved I went to Milan Kundera, but when I picked up "Living Elsewhere", I found that I was wrong. It turned out that it was this movie that attracted me so much. It can even be said that this woman, her unique charm, of course I I also like the Thomas-style personality, take everything lightly and live a chic life, and then come back and live a solemn life. But after careful analysis, it was Juliet, her smile that can purify me.
There is no mystery in her smile, and even a little stupid childishness, but it is this natural stupidity that made Thomas give up the way of life that he believed in in the past. I love her smile, and I often think if I were Thomas, I will fall in love with this woman without turning back. As for Sabina, everyone knows that she is a confidant, not a lover.
Those life and death, spirit and love, loyalty and betrayal, disappointment and expectation, can be put aside here, I am just fascinated by the image and music, the white goose by the river, the quiet land, the mysterious dusk, Tereza Smile... Love actually has an epic look.
