Those who are destined to end in pain before they choose

I thought it was a comedy, but I didn't expect it to be a suspense drama, and it updated my understanding of suspense drama. It turns out that the suspense drama is not only the reasoning to solve the case and the plot reversal, but also the introduction and foreshadowing of the 90% of the front, only the story is told at the end. There is no exquisite plot setting, no tortuous clues, only the protagonist and other insiders say nothing.

From the very beginning, everyone's misunderstanding of Flix made me always think that he is a though guy, and such a personality setting also made me never expect to stick to it for 40 years and imprison myself for 40 years, just because of love. Using "just" is not to neglect the distress caused by emotions, as if emotions are not enough to make people make such decisive things for them. In my opinion, no matter how strong emotions are, they are always soft in people's hearts. This may be related to its beauty. And the strength under the softness can stop the strong pressure and blows from the outside, but it cannot become the shackles of the self, or even the cause of self-destruction. Although it is not the tenderness that is ruining Flix here, but the self-blame. At the same time, this kind of tenderness makes it difficult for me to associate a tough guy like Flix with an image trapped by love. But when you think about it, this is not a contradiction. On the contrary, there is only such a strong-hearted person. Once in love, he will be more determined. After losing his lover, he will stick to self-criticism for more than 40 years.

Flix's love is not too difficult to imagine, after all, love itself does not know where it starts, and it grows deep. The film did not focus on this, but Flix personally said that she fell in love with her the first time she saw him again, and she fell in love with him somehow, and she agreed to elope with him and give up the family. , Just for love. It seems that this is the only sin mentioned in this film, but in the end both of them bear a heavy price.

I don’t know how many stories about the bridges of lost dreams in the world, how many stories about the tears returning to the pearl, and how many stories about how difficult it is to get married just because of untimely encounters. But if these stories change direction, will there be many stories about red roses turning into mosquito blood? How can one choose again in life? What if? We can guess outside of the story, but the poignant story still happens like this, and it won't fade away because of anyone's guess and other possibilities.

I watched my lover die in front of me, and the cause of everything, in the final analysis, was love. This kind of love hurts you, and it hurts me. How can people resist? But if you choose again, will Flix make the same choice? Choose not to love to avoid such a tragedy? Is the meaning of loving each other just in yourself? How does the other person feel about love? Is it enough to stop at the moment of happiness? Isn't avoiding pain another kind of selfishness? And if the choice is given to the other party, is it a more despicable selfishness and cruelty? Felix's luck is that he didn't have the chance to choose again. As mentioned in "Children's Dreams", the tragedy of life is that it cannot be repeated again, and its preciousness is that it cannot be repeated again. It’s just that everyone will always be entangled in many choices after the fact, there is still room for reversal, entangled in the choices that do not exist anymore, how to choose, even if the decision has been made, there is no way to look back, still wandering and suffering every day. , This is undoubtedly the most painful heart sentence.

Felix's story did not cause too many ripples among the people who attended the funeral. Maybe he was shocked by the truth for a moment, but it may be that the 40-year interval is too far apart. No one really cares except for a few related people. Perhaps the previous shocking rumors are more to their tastes. But this plot is not a complicated story. For me, it has been chewed repeatedly for more than 40 years, like a medicine that is miserable but can never be swallowed. Ten years of life and death are boundless, and for 40 years, the half-dead phoenix tree has been helplessly lingering because of the restraint of belief in his heart. So in the end, I was still eager for the pastor's eulogy. All this makes it reasonable for him to become seriously ill in the end but not willing to receive treatment.

Life is too short, life is too long. Faced with a life that is too short, Flix made the decision to elope with the person he loves most, even if he bears the notoriety of moral beliefs. Then I was imprisoned and tortured in a too long life. I wanted to use one kind of pain to paralyze, or to compensate for another kind of pain. It was already painful to live, but I also wanted the pain to be more real and intense. And this kind of pain is endless, and there is no possibility of even a little relief.

There are two more sentences in the movie that are very impressive. 1. The priest's opening remarks at the funeral: We think right and wrong, good and bad, are often as distinct as black and white, and they are far apart, but in fact they are very close. 2. Felix said to Dubby: Dog's dream, you can’t know more about a person, you can make up a story about this person, and this person can also say his own thoughts, but are these all true? ? You can't know more than a dog dream.

    I would like forgiveness now, if possible, and then I don't mind dying for real next time , but , please , forgive me.

    "My funeral, and everybody's in there but me..." The film itself is not as good as Robert Duval's performance. It is a pity that the film looks very tasteful by relying on his elegant and calm performance, and it is a pity that the Oscar has not been nominated. btw, the smile of buddy's child and the ending song sounded, the whole heart melted...★★★★
