Still water flows deep, love is weird, but it stays

Life needs such a quiet movie. Watch it alone and feel for a moment. The piano music by Chopin in the soundtrack is so beautiful. "White-haired love, with more subtle and meaningful than life, even the eyes become silent than sound!"


I won't tell you how many tears you shed when watching this film, but I will tell you how much I am Moved-
I am moved that even in the old age, a romantic wedding will be held; I am moved that even if life is bitter, I have to go to the concert holding hands; I am moved that even if it is famous The odds are slim, and you have to tell the other party that he is the best.


When I see this film, I can’t help but think of Michael Haneke’s "Love", which is also the end of life. Whether it’s heterosexual or homosexual, whether it’s the ordinary life of chai rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, there is only companionship, trust and Mutual support is the essence of love.

The scenes of this film are simple and restrained, love is silent and silent, but everywhere, a hug, a few love words, and a tacit understanding are written on the face. When the two squeezed into the crib of their grand-nephew, they realized that love had already become a habit.

Love can't defeat prejudice, and can't even cover up the cruelty of reality. Because of this, the love between George and Ben is more precious than Jin Jian. Forty years of friendship are no match for a piece of written stipulation. In fact, the envy nephews and couples still have homophobia in nature. The seemingly outspoken police friends only care about their own enjoyment, but the strangers they meet unexpectedly throw an olive branch. Life is so moody.

It was a pity that Ben could not live in the warm house after all, just like that unfinished painting. [The director said it was painted by his husband~]


From a certain level, the film is more like an extension of "Light Up". From the passionate impulse of love, to the sublimation of the everlasting affection. Learn about life from trivial fragments of life, and experience love from conversations with only a few words. Love is also very strange, love to the point of displacement, love to the age of no one to rely on, when life comes to an abrupt end, love continues.

After entering the marriage, what you have to face is the same running-in and unexpected problems as all marriages. Regardless of the same sex or the opposite sex, getting along with each other is the most difficult subject. The love that supports each other and supports each other, my heart is as soft and warm as water, and I am deeply moved...

Love is weird, but it transcends gender, time, secularity and prejudice, so that two strangers can spend their lives together. Being company can also become a habit. This is love. We may not find it when we look for it, but some people still don't give up. The youth that dances in the backlight at the end is the continuation and remembrance of the will and love that still cannot be sworn! ~

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.
