In the end, Barbara chose to stay, she had planned to run away for love.
In the last scene of the movie, there is no dialogue, only eyesight.
The eyes that Barbara and Andre look at each other are the most complicated eyes I have ever seen.
Barbara looked at Andre's eyes, helpless, disappointed, and slightly moved.
A wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She seemed to be using these to tell: she stayed helplessly, she couldn't go to West Germany to meet her boyfriend, but at least there was Andre here.
For her, Andre is a solace to stay, just a solace, at least it's just a solace now.
Although she stayed, she might still leave in the future, looking for her freedom and love.
She knew that Andre loved her. Perhaps she will fall in love with Andre in the future. But, at least she didn't love before, but now she is not sure.
Andre still looked at Barbara tenderly, affectionately and calmly, as always, from the beginning to the end of the movie.
Before Barbara came in and sat down, his eyes were disappointed and sad.
He loved Barbara from the first time he saw Barbara. He is not blind, she knows Barbara, whether it is from the red box, from the cigarette box in West Germany, or from the mouth of the person monitoring Barbara. He knows what it means to fall in love with a woman like Barbara.
But he still fell in love.
He shared his laboratory with Barbara, shared his insights on Browning's oil painting, shared his experience, and shared his books. . . . . .
He took the initiative to send Barbara home, make coffee for Barbara, hire someone to tune the piano for Barbara, and make three fresh dishes for Barbara. . . . . .
At that time, he had no reservations about Barbara.
Barbara kissed him.
It may be because of impulse, or it may be simply because of being moved.
But, perhaps, what he wants is not impulse and moving, but excitement.
Excited means to care.
Just like Barbara desperately went to the forest and international hotel to tryst with her boyfriend.
Or maybe, he already understood everything.
Before Barbara kissed him.
So he gave Barbara's book "Country Doctor": an ugly old doctor treated a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with tuberculosis. The storm came and the doctor could not go home, so stayed. The girl was very sick and hopeless, but she had never felt love, and then died like this, so she accepted this old and ugly doctor as a stand-in for her lover, those who she had never loved. substitute. Together they longed and portrayed the last romance, until after the girl passed away, the doctor returned to his wife and children.
The metaphor in this one means long.
And what he conveyed, Barbara understood.
Perhaps, because of this, Barbara chose to stay.
Perhaps, because of this, when he was told that Barbara would not come back, he was very disappointed, but at the same time he was as calm as ever.
Perhaps, because of this, he knew that even though Barbara chose to stay, she might still leave.
Perhaps, because of this, Andre still looked at Barbara tenderly, affectionately and calmly as always, but at that moment, he kept it.
I think of the "Stay" by Hurts: you know I try to tell you that I need you, here I am without you, I feel so lost ,but what can I do? Cause I know this love seems real, but I don't know how to feel.
Just like the oil painting commented by Andre in the movie, because of that right hand, people pay attention to the dissected person, not the doctor's eyes. The same is true for us. Because of Barbara's stay, we paid more attention to the fact that she and Andre would be together, but did not pay attention to or pay special attention to the eyes of the two of them who are also doctors.
