You are a grain of sand in my eyes

There used to be a question in my mind, but so far there is no clear conclusion. I am thinking, if one day, the true love in your life comes before your eyes, and at this time you are already holding other people, how would you choose? You choose to continue your life, or choose to elope with true love at all costs. I am very scared to face this, so I hope to meet the right person at once instead of getting into entanglement. Perhaps most people in this world hope that they can be so favored by God, but they are not as good as they want.
Do you have the feeling of "meeting and hating late"? So when I saw a movie called this, it was hard not to watch it. A middle-aged acquaintance and encounter, seemingly romantic and peaceful, push the two happy marriage and family to the edge of the tragedy of collapse and dissolution. But the ending did not escape my expectations. It is like "The Bridge of Last Dream", like "The Age of Innocence", which is borne by love and discarded by love.
A grain of sand in the eyes of the heroine Laura leads to an encounter that is bitterly late. If life is accidental, it is precisely because of accident that we have an inevitable misunderstanding of destiny. The many unexpected encounters between Laura and Alec created opportunities for them to get along with each other, and seemed to give them the illusion that they were destined to develop in the future. Maybe this is destiny, maybe this is an illusion, but it can't be denied how congenial and understanding the two are. Isn't this the beginning of all love? Here I have a doubt, isn't it also true that they fell in love with their lover in the first place? Why do you decide that the person you meet halfway through is the love of your life? What is the person who walked with you in the first half of your life and gave you a feeling of happiness? Therefore, the so-called true love is so difficult to finalize, and therefore our lives are full of shortcomings and full of beauty.
In fact, the happiness of life has turned into an unnoticeable dullness. Even if your lover once knew you and loved each other, the enthusiasm of love will always tend to be dull, so you will have "Is this still the person I loved back then?" Hesitation and uncertainty. Perhaps at this moment, a person with the same mood unintentionally broke into your life, and there were countless encounters, which rejuvenated your inner desire for the passion, so you fell in love. Of course, your emotions are sincere, because you appreciate each other and understand each other, not just physical passions, but at the same time you also endure moral and spiritual torture, because it is not allowed and forgiven. You have a family and Children, you still have love for them. Responsibility is greater than love.
The heroine in "The Bridge of Last Dream" finally failed to let her husband and children go with the photographer. In "The Age of Innocence", Newland finally did not go with Helen because of the retention of his fiancee and the child in the womb, and Laura did not choose one. Gone. Because if you leave, you will never be able to stop it, you can't stop it with a responsibility and concern, as well as guilt and guilt. In fact, their spouse has insight into the entanglement and reluctance of their lover, but they have used the wisest way to retain their lover, that is, family and forgiveness.
Therefore, some feelings can only be buried in the bottom of my heart, maybe you will be sad, you will regret, but at least there is no sin and guilt in your happiness. We need greatness, a kind of sacrifice and dedication, because everything is what we meet too late. If you show up when I say "I'm willing", I will follow you righteously, but when you show up, it is when the child and lover are waiting for me at home, so what can I do?
You are like a grain of sand in my eyes, stinging my nerves, full of tears, and I will keep you in my eyes forever, burying an eternal burning pain in my heart. And send you away with tears, leaving an unforgettable memory.

    There are no big ups and downs, the film tells a story that can no longer be true, and many plots in the film make me feel immersed. Meeting the right person at the wrong time can happen to any of us, should reason or emotion prevail? I really like the soft burr texture of the light cast on the protagonist's face in the black and white film. They have withstood the baptism of a long time, slowly accumulating, and quietly tell one story after another.
