Not a film review, personal thoughts

I don’t feel much about the film itself, but I want to record my personal feelings triggered by a plot.

At the wedding, Kate praised the gay couple who had helped each other for 39 years and wished their love last forever. This does not mean that she can write without a bit of complaint under the constant rumors of an elderly in her seventies. Joey's attitude towards Ben was not good. He made many words to hurt him. After Ben passed away, he also showed some regrets. I am willing to leave everything behind and be with you, but love itself cannot be a weapon to break through conventions. This is all normal. After all, if you summarize your life, you will not feel the pain that specific events bring to everyone.

Being fucked by life is probably the ultimate enemy faced by all theories and practices. Many times we know that it is wrong to speak badly to relatives and friends. Staying up late without exercising will make your body worse, and avoiding reality will not solve problems, and so on. However, due to the combination of various factors, we finally came to different paths. Sometimes you can find names for such internal and external forces, such as laziness, timidity, willingness to be mediocre, and marketable. More often, it is indescribable.

And love, or love, seems to be the person who finds you on thousands of roads and walks with you. I don’t know the road conditions and the destination. The only thing I can confirm is that someone is with me. You have walked through absurd and repetitive lives together, playing roles that are ridiculous in the eyes of others. People are like this, and always regard "historical tragedy to be staged again" as a human error. In fact, there is always an invisible hand that seems to be in control. The snake that gives people wisdom is the devil, and the god who immerses people in the chaos is a god. You have to go through these, it is better to be accompanied by someone.

Love Is Strange quotes

  • Ben: What did you think of the Wieniawski?

    George: Not bad. I thought she milked it a bit.

    Ben: You think so?

    George: Well, when the piece is that romantic, there's no need to embellish.

    Ben: Oh. I don't know. I loved it. I kept thinking about him and his beloved Isabella.

    George: Oh yeah? But that's not true. You know that whole "he composed it to convince her parents to let him marry her," it's a myth.

    Ben: I'm not like you. I prefer a little embellishment.

  • Ben: When you live with people, you know them better than you care to.
