What if she has something to delay that day and does not run to the beach?
What if the bottle didn't just float in front of her?
What if there is no special mark on the letter paper he used?
What if he is a bad old man?
What if he moves?
…
There are so many uncertain factors running across there, and if any link goes wrong, there is no possibility for them to meet, let alone fall in love. But isn't love like this? In the tens of thousands of years, in the boundless wilderness of time, there was no one step earlier or late. It just happened.
When they met for the first time, both of them seemed cramped and embarrassed. Like each of us might behave, they couldn’t find the topic, didn’t know how to put their hands and feet, and were worried about leaving a bad impression on each other... Is it because you have expectations in your heart that you are so concerned about gains and losses, right? If the other party is an irrelevant person, their performance will be more free and easy and more natural.
When the two of them were together, she always watched him smirk. At that moment, she seemed to have become a girl in love. She didn't have to do anything. Just seeing him, she could wake up from her dream laughing. She might be curious when she first looked for him. She might have a guilty conscience when facing him, but when she saw her, I knew that she was in love with him deeply. That is what a woman in love would have.
Every step of their progress is so difficult that it makes the rhythm of the entire film seem slow and lengthy. But if it is not a long stream, how can one cross the distance of one person? Especially that was still a dead person, after all, he loved another person that way even today.
Some people say that when your rival is a dead person, then you lose at the beginning, and there will never be a chance of a comeback. Think about it, if the other person is alive, you can still compare her to her, but she died, and died when the man loved her the most. She has since become the perfect image in the man’s heart, and her past imperfections have also been lost. The man's memory is carefully repaired, and she is invincible. We also saw that even at the end, Garret just said to Catherine: "If I tell you I love her as much as I loved you...and you'll know the whole story." Did you see it? It's "as much as", two loves are as much, you can never win such a dead person. The only way to overcome it is probably to die, but this is too costly, and the benefits will not be seen.
So from the beginning of this relationship, Theresa was in a position of looking up.
She is such a rational and self-respecting person. She saw her husband and lover walking together without warning, and she was just sitting in the car alone for an hour and a half. She didn't cry or make trouble, she just sat.
But when he saw the letter and the newspaper about to leave, she chased him out in the heavy rain in her pajamas. She grabbed his hand and cried and begged him to stay. She gave him her heart: "Because I love you, I I fell in love with you when I saw the first letter... Those three letters completely changed my life..."
In love, whoever bows his head first loses. In her previous love, she had a very high attitude. She didn't cry, make trouble, hang herself, divorce, take care of her son, she is neither humble nor arrogant.
But this time her self-esteem, her calmness, and her upbringing were all defeated. She accidentally moved Catherine's things in his house, and his eyes suddenly changed. It was a look that excluded the world. There are only him and Catherine in that world. But she just walked away silently. She couldn't complain, because she knew he loved Catherine. Didn't she fall in love with him because of this love? This was the first time she bowed her head. I already said it the second time. She used the most useless trick-crying to stay, saying that even if we broke up, she would have a beautiful posture, but most women can't do it. If they love, they just jump in. Where I still care about the posture. Unsurprisingly, this kind of retention is mostly useless, so Garret still left.
But the result is not important anymore. The important thing is that we all saw her heart at that moment-if it weren't for deep love, how could someone like her allow herself to gaffe up to this point?
The relationship between Garret and Theresa started so difficult and progressed so hard. The letter he wrote to his ex-wife was so touching and affectionate. Both of these relationships made moviegoers admire. It is difficult for even bystanders to choose, let alone the people in it. So the atmosphere of the whole film is that kind of restlessness and a kind of faintly worried feeling-that kind of atmosphere makes you feel that when you watch it, you won't believe that the two of them can be together smoothly.
Throughout the whole process of watching the movie, my heart kept holding me, fearing that there would be accidents-he was fighting because of his mental illness; when he went to Chicago, he went backwards and said goodbye to Dodge, and suddenly a handlebar sprang from the right. He knocked down; Theresa's son kept calling her when the two of them kissed because of something unexpected happened to him; he discovered the truth in Theresa's company, and then walked away angrily, leaving Theresa alone to face the onlookers... …In short, all kinds of bizarre thoughts circulate in my mind, as if every node may step into the abyss of immortality.
Fortunately, until the film was almost over, until "The prince and the princess are happily together" beckoned not far away, none of these accidents appeared.
But as soon as the heart fell back to its original place, the real accident happened—Garret was dead!
Without warning, this irreversible accident just smashed down and caught people off guard.
Finally, she finally assumed a gesture—"If I don't want to go, Zining won't come?" She waited for him to put down and go to find her; and he finally plucked up the courage to say goodbye to the past. When everything seemed to be going in a good direction, bad news came—there was no more him.
But think about it, this ending is good. Without the future, there will be no possible quarrels, disagreements, and no possible stubbornness. He left when she loved him the most, just like his ex-wife left when he loved him the most, leaving a perfect image. This kind of love is not something everyone can run into.
Love is a superstition of the right time and place. God let them meet and fall in love. It is already an encounter that many people who yearn for love can't ask for. It is not a gift from God to stop abruptly at the most beautiful time. Remember that letter from Catherine? "I already had what everyone is searching for and few ever find, the one person in the world who l was born to love forever." Such a person, who has had such a love, is lucky enough. Why should we bother with an ending that cannot even be called imperfect?
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------When
people grow up, they gradually become numb, and their tears are getting more and more. The higher the level, the harder and harder it is for a movie to make people cry. If it is a feature-length TV series, you can slowly accumulate feelings, but it is still difficult to squeeze out people’s tears in a short two-hour movie— —At least it must be sincere.
There are three places in the whole film that make me cry. The first time Theresa came to see Garret’s boat with a gift to test the water for the first time. Her face was full of joy and gratification, because he hadn’t moved the boat for a long time before meeting her, and he made the boat ready. Does it mean stepping out of the dusty past? But what she heard was "To Catherine...Wish to God she was here today...everyday", what she saw was he was carefully wiping the name of "Catherine" on the ship, and her eyes dimmed at that moment. I went down, the moment she turned around, my tears stayed uncontrollably, and my heart was hurting.
The second time was when Garret and his father were arguing in a cafe. He said "It's not your business..." and Dodge, who had always been calm, collapsed. He cried, "My son is not my business? What the hell else have I got?...that's close to me...Who else ever...stuck up for me?..."We only know that the old man attributed the death of his former daughter-in-law and his son's pain to him.
The third time was the end of the film. The moment Theresa learned of Garret's death, she was so broken, holding the phone, she could only make a beast-like sound from her throat.
In "Life of the Rose", Seyaf, played by Marion Cotillard, collapsed across the board when he learned of the death of his lover, and his hysterical appearance left a deep impression on me, which I always remember. Theresa is more rational than her, but the way she is holding the phone and unable to speak still makes my heart hurt. I think she must be as unwilling to believe that Garret is dead like me.
It is really strange for a woman to fall in love with a man because of his affection for another woman. Even the deeper he loves another woman, the deeper she loves him. But this in itself is a paradox. He only loves so much. The more he gives to another woman, the less he can respond to you; and if he gives love to you, it also shows that he has a deep love for another woman. Love is an illusion. Women are always easy to fall into such a paradox. Such love is really helpless, helpless and hopeless. Because of this, Garret had to die, right? Maybe only death can solve this problem.
