It was not love that made us burst into tears, it was Proust.

*Reproduced I don’t know who wrote that

a man who could be a senator fell in love with his son’s girlfriend. They tried every means to find all kinds of opportunities to be together. Between offices, hotels, and meetings, they leave their sparks and passions everywhere. When she was awake, she knew that she should rein in the precipice. The man said, don't meet again. She looked at him without nodding or shaking his head and left. After a while, she went to his house, of course as the future daughter-in-law. When the family was eating, their eyes were pushed back and forth at the dinner table. The next day, she sent a small box to his office. When I opened it, it was a new door key. He immediately ran toward her like a bullet to his chest. He is willing to die for her a thousand times, even if it is overwhelming.

Everything started again. The two of them were like two wrecked planes, falling towards each other at the speed of the crash. Until one day, the two of them were caught by his son pushing the door in. The pale young man couldn't believe everything in front of him, step by step. Back, fell down the stairs and died. This incident became a sensational scandal, and the man's family and career were completely destroyed.

The Chinese translation of this movie is called "Fire Lover" (also translated as "Love Severe Injury"). Starring by big stars Juliet Binoche and Jeremy Irons, this is probably the craziest collaboration between the two artists.

What happened to this lover of life and death? The ending of the film is great. The man who was ruined for many years recalled that he never saw her again, only once in the car. He saw her holding a child behind another man from a distance, and there was nothing to do with any woman. different.

I appreciate this kind of ending, which is so spicy that it leaves no room for it.

In fact, the director couldn't be smarter. Even if they meet face to face, what can the two of them say? Maybe they will greet quietly through the dust ups and downs on the street, saying, you are all right. An unforgettable one that will never come back is waiting for its final ending in a calm greeting. Time cannot go back, nor can destiny be reversed. All the anxiety and despair when separated and the heartbreaking in future life sink to the bottom of time, calmly. Yes, they will never go back. We can't go back either.

Perhaps the meaning of blooming is only in blooming, the meaning of flying by birds is only in flying, and the meaning of disappearing by one person is only in passing away. The charcoal in the snow, the summer fan, only play a role within a certain period of time. It is absolutely the truth to hide all the birds with their bows. When the fate is over, forget each other in the arena, don't drag on the mud.

Proust, who reminisces about his water years, described the passing of love in this way: We will not feel physical pain when we hear her name, nor will we tremble when we see her handwriting, and we will not change us just to meet her on the street. In the journey, emotional reality gradually becomes psychological reality, becoming our spiritual reality: indifference and forgetting. However, he changed his pen and said, in fact, when we are in love, we foresee the future end, and it is this kind of foresight that makes us burst into tears.

Today, thousands of sails are exhausted, and it is not love, but Proust that can make us burst into tears.
