There is a kind of movie that is neither light nor heavy, not intended to be meaningful or burdensome, but it falls in the heart impartially, as if some kind of unspeakable life situation has been touched without knowing it. "Love Happens" (Love Happens) is just such a movie. There is no moving love, no unforgettable plot, and some just a comfortable atmosphere. It feels like everything is just right and it can be approached. Just to tell, just to start again...... The occurrence of love is not completely traceable, just like walking into a movie, sometimes only in a single thought. I didn’t plan to go to the cinema to watch this movie. As soon as the story didn’t appeal to me, there was no actor I liked, and my body was a little tired. However, in an instant, I suddenly changed my mind: the time is just right, maybe I might go to watch it. Looks good too! So, I turned left and turned right. I wanted to have a good meal, but it turned into McDonald's. The next moment I was sitting in the movie theater. In the story, the male protagonist (Aaron Eckhart) is the best-selling author of Zhongxing Gongyue, the healing system, and the spiritual mentor of many readers, but the female protagonist (Jennifer) Aniston) I don’t know who he is? She had never read his book, and didn't think he was any extraordinary. From the same perspective, she could easily traverse the obstacles in front of her, not looking up at him from the stage, but sitting next to him. Eat with him and feel the pulse of life together: discovering that the date he accidentally messed up is actually not that bad. On a non-rainy day, he saw Seattle's flowers bloom more beautifully; from a higher angle, she could also show him the magical charm of the concert. There is no perfect first date, and the second date can be great! A beautiful daily life is omnipresent, and the key lies in the perspective of the heart. Just like the difference between "invisible" and "invisible", it is not in ability, but in mentality. The result is nothing to do with effort. The deeper idea of ​​the film is about the true healing of the pain. The writer who has experienced the pain of accidental bereavement chooses to treat the grief by writing. He shows others in the face of the sun full of energy. However, no matter how many books he writes, he publishes again. He gave more speeches and helped many people, but he still couldn't help himself. The heart locked in grief is like being placed in an airtight black box, even if the sun is shining in the outside world, and the inner gloom is blocking all light and hope. She is not a light forcibly intervening, but a glimmer of light that always exists in rainy Seattle. He came to her city with pain. Many people admire the power of "books", but "flowers" do not yearn for them. Books can teach people a lot of truths about the world, but they don’t necessarily know, as long as we give ourselves to " Natural", drink well, breathe well, rest well, no deliberate nutrition is needed, no better world is made up, no deep memories of the past, only need to integrate yourself into the truth: crying when sad, admitting fear, practicing every day Be brave and raise your head a little bit every day. Even if you don't write, you have to open your heart and watch your heart carefully. Pain is the inner beast. In the place you choose not to see, it continues to grow strong, laughs and deceives yourself. It feeds the beast in our heart. There is no best way. Only the magic of time can make the "beast" gradually tame. The premise is to believe and face, and believe that facing the pain of the past, you can have the power to start again, just like the rain in Seattle will continue to fall, but the gleam of the rain will still follow closely. Belief is not everything, but belief is power. Just like the existence of love, it cannot bear all the pain for us, but it can give a glimmer of hope in time. As long as there is light and water, flowers can grow well. "Flowers" don't need to understand the language charm of "books", as long as they feel the silent sorrow that is not written in the book, they can be accompanied by peace! The deep dialogue from life does not require a thorough and deep understanding, only the thoughtfulness of being in a different place: a gentle look, A warm hug, a moment of listening, a moment of silence, sitting next to you all the time, reminding you to be kind to yourself and take care of your pain. This is the most common, simplest, but also the most beautiful thing I have ever seen about the occurrence of love. It just so happened that it turned out to be the best.

Love Happens quotes

  • Burke: I happen to know a thing or two about people. You get approached a lot. Probably have since the day you strapped on your first training bra. But you're smart, and you're creative, and you're caring and big... But, how come the guys only see the package it comes in, sure... you're flattered. But ultimately, ultimately it's tiresome because it has nothing to do with you. You were born that way, you can't take credit for it. Your insides though, that's yours. That's what you want someone to truly see. Even a stranger. Ergo... you fake a handicap. Rather than to have a conversation with a fellow human being. You prefer sign language? Fine.

  • Eloise: Can I say something? And, and this comes from a place of total humility. With the acknowledgment that my life is a day-by-day experiment in... really bad decisions. But, er... you're really messed up.
