Fortunate to have loved

This is a true story that took place in Cambridge, England in the 1950s: CS Lewis is a rich scholar, a devout and faithful apologetic master, and a fantastic writer of fantasy. He is good at logical speculation and always talks in the church forum. , He is humorous and witty, life is simple and rules, calm and happy. Until I met Joy Gresham: an American poetess who dared to love and hate, was sharp and wise but had a hard life. Since then, her peace has disappeared, her eloquence is invisible, and her affection grows dark. It's just that he doesn't know it, he always treats him with the courtesy of a friend, guards the boundaries, denies himself and returns to courtesy, and annoys the beauty. Until one day, her terminal illness finally forced him out of the 50-year-old "safe" harbor of books, knowledge, and reason in which he was hiding, and faced the inner emotions and the intertwined happiness and pain that came from it, as well as the wavering of faith. Subsequent reconstruction (see Lewis's mourning notes "Qing Qing Ru Met").

Here, God is a magician, and Lewis is a child who receives magic.

I have always been puzzled as to why the film is named after "shadowlands". In the film, it is embedded in a poem read by Lewis. I know it has its own meaning, but I am still ignorant. After reading it with Google, I finally realized that it is actually a metaphor: rational knowledge, but the shadow of land of real experience. Only by experiencing the real experience can rational knowledge be injected into life, and many unspeakable feelings are no longer vague like looking at flowers in the mist of watching the moon in the water. The allusion to "The Shadow of Land" comes from his famous fairy tale "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Last Battle", and the inspiration comes from the thirteenth chapter of the first Corinthians Bible: "We are now looking in a mirror, blurry Qing, then I will be face to face. I have limited knowledge now, and I will know everything by then, just as the Lord knew me."

I first watched "Qing Qing Ruhui" and then "Shadowlands". It was like knowing the ending and then looking back at the opening. I had a little bit of composure, so I paid special attention to the details. I also agree with the slow tempo of the film and the slow-fire literary cooking of emotional feelings. Antony Hopkins's implicit and forbearing interpretation is a good interpretation of an elegant scholar who has only tasted his first love for half a century. As for Debra Winger, I feel more beautiful than the real face mentioned in the book, so I am a little disappointed, but the acting is also considered in general. not bad. In addition, it is the dialogue that gleams with speculative wisdom from time to time.

What makes love perfect?
Unattainability.
The most intense joy lies not in the having but in the desiring.

Although I don’t agree with the theory that " what makes love perfect? Unattainability. " Explains that many people in reality have nostalgia and regret for "white roses and red roses". On the other hand, I very much agree with his argument that desire increases the intensity and concentration of happiness. There is no doubt that desire is and should be one of the core elements of love.

Pain is a tool; pain is god's megaphone to rouse a deaf world. Pain makes you perfect.

I don’t know if pain is a megaphone that God uses to invigorate the deaf , but pain is really thought-provoking and helps people grow. If deep pain does not crush us, it will inevitably lead us through myths and approach the truth and essence of things.

One has to say things (I love you), the moment passes, and then you're alone again.

In life, there is never time for me. When you can love, when you can speak up to the one you love, don’t be fettered by hesitation, shyness, worry, pride, and be brave and firm to speak your heart; otherwise, when you are lonely again, it’s too late to regret. And regrets will eat your heart day and night.

We read to know we're not alone. We love to know we're not alone.

Why study? Why fall in love? Because of loneliness; because of incompleteness; because of the pursuit of a sense of belonging and identity. No matter how independent a person is, he also needs to know the child period of the mountains and rivers.

Why love if losing hurts so much?
Then, what's you choice? Safety or suffering?
The pain then is part of the happiness now. The pain now is part of the happiness then

. The pain at that time is the composition of today's happiness; because we want to lose, because we are afraid of losing, we will cherish the happiness of the moment more, and every second counts. Today’s pain is derived from the happiness of the past; without a sharp contrast, how can one know that he has been to heaven? It is precisely because of the recognition of the joy of the past that today's pain has become so unbearable. Only after experiencing the weight of love can you know the weight of loss.

As the saying goes: no pain, no gain. Give me a choice, and I will never return to the indifferent peace and happiness before loving you. Today's heartbreak is the price of love, the price I am willing to pay for the love I once loved.

The candle's shadow is deep, Hyosung sinks, Chang'e doesn't regret stealing the elixir, the blue sea is blue and the sky is night and night.
