What is light and what is heavy?

Is life light or heavy? Is life light or heavy? Is love light or heavy? Is desire light or heavy?

For Thomas, life, life, and desire are all light, love is not so heavy. He is uninhibited in real life and enjoys the fun in the twists and turns. For him, sex is not love, but he lives freely. a part of. Teresa, the only woman he would feel distressed and want to protect, but took Thomas so seriously. Thomas is everything to her, and she doesn't understand why there is loveless sex. Different people have completely different understandings of the severity of different things. If two completely different people walk together, the lightness of one person will definitely increase the weight of the other, and the lightness of one will become unbearable for the other.

My favorite is Sabina, and she is also the one that makes me feel bad. She is a symbol of freedom in the film. She gives freedom to others and pursues freedom by herself (leaving the motherland ruled by the Soviets and yearning for the symbol of freedom: the United States). On the surface, she looked at everything very lightly more thoroughly than Thomas, but in my opinion, it was not. At least, Sabina values ​​love and responsibility. Her feelings for Thomas are definitely love. The reason for indulging him is that she just doesn't want to impose her weight on him. Especially when the professor left his wife for her, why did she run away? I think it’s because she felt that the relationship between her and the professor had changed, and they had more responsibilities. She couldn’t bear such a heavy burden, and she didn’t want to bear the heavy weight, so she ran away, maybe replaced by Thomas, she Not a person to escape. In my opinion, Sabina is just such a woman, who traditionally values ​​many things and is no different from other women, but never asks the world to be like her. Facing the burden that she could not bear, she knew she was not brave enough, so she avoided. Such people are not easy to get what they want, too indulge others' behavior, too indifferent, and many things will slip away.
