When I watched Love Is Strange, I was really moved to tears for a long time. It was Ben because he let his grand-nephew’s friend (Vlad) be a model for himself. Suddenly the doorbell rang at the dining table, and the friend of my grandnephew who thought he was a frequent visitor suddenly heard a simple "George". He hadn't seen anyone yet, but Ben, who was frowning before, was suddenly overwhelmed with excitement and ran to open the door. , And the oncoming George escaped because he couldn’t stand the boarding life of Ye Ye Shengge. He plunged into Ben’s arms and cried regardless. New York was raining outside, but the hearts of Ben and George at the time were different. Is it from Pangbo rain to sunny?
Those who can make themselves run desperately to seek comfort and hugs when they are the most helpless and frustrated are really loved ones besides their loved ones. And when the lover's arms encircle oneself, comfort oneself, and use all strength to inspire oneself, all the pain and difficulties disappear as if they are easily solved.
You see, this is the kind of love. It's not about mutual vows to love each other, or engraving each other's name on one's own body, or dating each other to death under pressure. It's not such a "brilliant" and majestic love.
When we were young, we always fantasized about defeating all evil queens, princes and princesses. Cinderella drops a crystal shoe and rides the wind and waves in a love adventure. No, no, no, it's not such a love.
It's small, ordinary, just huddled together in a blanket on a crowded bed, watching you slowly walk down the stairs to take the subway after a date, gradually disappearing from the crowd, and use all of it after you really die Facing other people calmly but can't remove the eyes that you have been looking at the paintings you have left.
You see, this is the kind of love. Nothing great at all, but a love that is warm in my heart.

I especially like this kind of film. Although it was filmed in the United States, it is not very "American." Chopin's piano music has been throughout the film. New York under the lens is completely full of humanity. Museums and art galleries are like representatives of this city. Right now. There is no fast food, high-efficiency rhythm, and noisy passersby like traditional modern cities. Everything is a slow and whispering gesture. And there are many pictures that are so beautiful and so charming.
The whole film did not bring any tragic color, even though the protagonist’s work was gone, the house was gone, was misunderstood by relatives, and even died in the end, but the tragedy of choking was not felt at all. The end of the film does not even show death but it is expressed in a dialogue between George and Ben's grand-nephew. As always, it is not sadness but regret and tenderness. Warmth may be the main theme of this film.
The two male stars played very well. Especially John Lithgow, because of the 3rd rock from the sun, he was always preconceived for his comedy performances. He was also featured in the interstellar crossing last year, and I always felt a sense of intimacy to see him. The 71-year-old retired painter he played in Love is Strange really hit me again. The panic and helplessness when I was disliked, the tears in my eyes when I saw my lover seemed to be real.
Marisa Tomei also performed well, especially when expressing her dissatisfaction with Ben to her husband, she can really see the outbreak that she has tolerated for a long time and her incomprehension of Ben.
After watching the film, I always think that although the film is "same-sex", as everyone said, this is not talking about same-sex love, but just showing a love through a pair of homosexuals. This love belongs to any couple of men and women. , Male male, female female, ordinary love.
