"Yes!"
"This...?"
"If this is not love, then there really is no love in this world."
You live in the apartment opposite, I know, you are single. Although single, I know that you are not living a single life. Now I have to admit that I fell in love with you since I first saw you. You know, I live at a friend's house and let me see you before he leaves. I don't have a girlfriend, I don't have a favorite object, because I have you all in my heart. In order to see you, my alarm clock will ring at 8:30 every night. In order to see you, I will send you a fake money order. In order to see you, I have an extra milk delivery job and get up early every day. You know, I am a 19-year-old boy, a bit introverted and shy. I am very happy to see you. I will also be jealous when I see you with other men. I laughed happily when I ruined your good deeds. I would be worried when I saw you come home late at night, and I would shrug and cry when I saw you. Will also be sad. I admit, I am observing you, using a telescope. I am not a voyeur, because I love you. My name is Tomek.
My name is Magda, I am in my thirties and I am single. love? I do not believe. You look at me, I live like this, can I believe in love? Lust, I believe, and I have it too. The world's emotions have begun to dry up, but desires are uncontrollably swelling. Emotion, who does not desire, but is there? I received the money order, but didn't receive anything. I went to the post office, but they put the blame on me. I was like a clown being teased. I didn't want to argue. I turned around and left the post office. When I go home every day, I don’t know, but sometimes it’s very late. There is no shortage of men around me, but this does not make me happy lasting. Looking at the spilt milk, I was suddenly very sad. What was my life, so I started to cry with the milk. You told me you were spying on me, I was very angry, and you said you love me, I felt ridiculous and inexplicable. But looking at your lost back I feel a little sad. I am going to show you a play, I made out with that man and told you that I was peeping. If you want to love me, it must be to get close to my skin, then let you succeed and let you become one of my men.
Why should I come out when the bearded man is roaring, because I love you and I am not a voyeur. You laughed at me, I was very angry, you asked me a series of questions, nothing more than to know if I had any intentions, but I really didn't, I just love you. You decided to let me get close to you, I was very excited and nervous. The first time you laughed at me, it made me very sad, I was so obsessed with you so sincerely, but you were just giving me a erotic class, and it hurt me deeply. I was very sad and desperate. I cut my wrist with a razor.
Don't men approach women for desire? But I asked if you wanted to kiss me, if you wanted to touch my skin, if you wanted to have sex with me, you didn't want to, I was a little shocked. You are still a little boy, and I want you to know that there is no love in this world, only lust. I don't know how to hurt you so deeply. When you were away, I started to miss you. I look forward to your coming back. I saw my call instructions. I even wrote my apology on the poster for you to see. I started to observe you with a telescope, but the multiple was too low and I couldn’t see clearly. . Without you, I started to fidget, I even came to look for you. Now I finally see you, seeing the white gauze on your wrist, I am sad and blamed. Your friend's mother won't let me touch you. I saw your telescope and saw myself in the telescope. I know that I am in love with you.
Krzysztof Kieslowski, the film writer told such a touching story in just over 80 minutes. The film is extremely soothing and full of European literary atmosphere. Although the plot is not very complicated, it captures the viewer's heart. Tomek cuts his wrist and a scene just hurts my heart. The interweaving and collision of spirit and desire in the film ooze the juice of many thoughts. The master threw such a big problem to us, let us slowly chew and savor. The actor's performance is also very good, paying particular attention to the expression of details, the frowning brows, shaking shoulders, rapid breathing, shaking hands, and depressed body, all deeply portray the character's heart. The soundtrack in the film is also very beautiful, basically using classical original musical instruments, such as guitar, piano, violin, etc., tightly linking the emotional ups and downs in the film, once again reflecting the master's artistic temperament.
This is a movie suitable for all people in and out of love to watch. I have seen it and will strengthen the belief in love. If this is not love, then what is so sad, try to find the true love in your life.
