watched the trailer at the time, they thought it was a vulgar chick flick. Later, I learned that it was a participating film at the Sundance Film Festival, and I liked it a lot. The romance films there have always been in a small and fresh style, with more life-oriented than dramatic ones, and people often watch with tears and mixed emotions. I remember Adam, a patient with Asperger's syndrome who eventually became self-reliant when love became dependent ("Adam is not good" (Adam)); I also remembered that love always has the next season, forgetting the past and starting again. ("500 Days of Summer" (500 Days of Summer)). In these love stories, it doesn't matter whether the lover finally gets married. What's more important is what this emotional experience, good or bad, left in your life.
"Celeste and Jesse Forever" (Celeste and Jesse Forever) is also a very life-like movie. C and J are a couple who have known each other since childhood and are each other's best friends. This kind of marriage was supposed to be peaceful and beautiful, and everyone admired it. Unfortunately, the love of childhood sweethearts still hit the rocks in the life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. C owns a public relations company and is also a writer and fashion analyst. J is just a casual illustrator. The woman hates men for iron and steel, and finally filed for divorce. What is dramatic is that although the two cannot be married, they have become good friends. During the separation, they stay together every day. Such avant-garde quasi divorce status, as their mutual friends said, is too weird.
Once, I was a person who despised rituals. I don't understand the difference between a marriage with a certificate and a marriage with a wedding dress and a wedding wine. Although I still think unnecessary red tape to save energy and save energy, I have gradually realized the wisdom of our ancestors. All ceremonies are a solemn and solemn transition. With each salute, the shadow of the old life is one step away from us, and the sunshine of the new life shed another meter in front of us. From now on, our way of life is different. It's time to say goodbye to the past and welcome the future. For example, after the graduation ceremony, we will be more aware that the school age is over and the label of capriciousness and childishness cannot be brought into the workplace; after the wedding, we will be more aware that the unruly and unrestrainedness of being single is gone forever. What does its responsibility and commitment mean. If there are no such occasions, the boundaries of life stages will be blurred, and behaviors that are out of age are inevitable.
Except for Yao Chen and Sun Honglei in "If You Are the One", most people have only experienced weddings without "distribution." But this does not mean that there is no need for a ceremony for this major event in life. It is just that the ceremony is relatively long: separate for one year. Legally speaking, this is to avoid impulsive divorce, and starting from the world, this is also a transitional ceremony. Both parties who decide to divorce must begin to adapt to the life of one person and gradually move towards the ultimate single life. And C and J have been rejecting the transition of separation. They use "good friends" to justify their unusual intimacy. Although they live apart, they are still tightly tied together in life. The preparations for divorce were not done well, and the farewell was destined to be long and protracted. J looks forward to C returning to his side, and C does not have to deal with J's immature side, but can also enjoy his naive and simple happiness, wishing that such days will last forever. One is too naive, the other is too selfish, they want to stay in their marriage and not come out, they simply want to return to love. When the next train approached the platform of life, C and J were still unwilling to get off the previous train for a long time.
Prow, what are you waiting for? At first, J waited for C to change his mind, and C was waiting for him to find a new partner before J. It's a pity that God's will make people, and the one who filed for the divorce is actually behind. J quickly found a new girlfriend and determined to form a happy family. From the one who did not want to get divorced, he became the one who urged the divorce. C is not working smoothly, and gradually misses J's nonsensical humor. If the divorce fails to get the "I live better than you" life she wants, she feels that the divorce is the wrong decision. But the strong she was always right, so she actively sought reconciliation, but she was rejected. As a result, the divorce was wrong, and the reconciliation was wrong. The two quarreled fiercely, and finally revealed the reasons for their divorce: women disliked men for not growing up, men had enough of women's desire to control.
At the wedding of a good friend, C said that it does not matter who is right or who is wrong in the marriage. It is a blessing to be able to marry your best friend. This kind of love is worthy of our efforts. I really hope I did that in the past. But going back in time, will C and J make changes for each other? Or is it the same as usual, who is expecting a compromise? Distance produces beauty, the slightest goodness of separation is so warm, and the slightest mistakes of cohabitation are so unbearable. If you can't love the house and Wu, it is better to break up freely and easily. If you are free from TA's shortcomings, you must also say goodbye to TA's strengths. Greedy people have no good results, and it will only hurt both sides to do it again.
What there is no such thing in the world is if. C, who has a successful career and ambitious, can't go back to the self who was full of water before, and marriage is also the last stage of life that can't be returned. If you can't get it back, don't miss it. Look up, look forward, as long as you can face, accept and let go of life's big and small changes, the beautiful sunshine of a new life will finally come.
