"Do you know child? From now on, everything you lose will be the notes under your fingertips. She will always be your breath and sigh. This love is extremely precious, because love is eternal."
This is what the teacher gave him when he played the violin after he separated from his beloved Ilana in the film, and then the teacher gave him his precious violin. Before that, the teacher only thought that Nasser was a wood with perfect skills but no sense of life and music.
The film is like a circle, the beginning and the end are the same. In the middle, Naser frantically finds a new violin, and eight days after he decides to commit suicide, the circle is gradually black. Simuna's expression and the trivialities of life are nothing but a satire for this unwilling musician, and as time goes on, the audience gradually understands Nasser's experience from a young age to the present, and we even see Nasser from the perspective of God. The warmth that Se has never seen, his son praying for him late at night, the resonance of his wife's performance, the heart-wrenching tears on the street corner after Ilana met him...
Nasser missed Ilana when he was young, and because of this miss he caught the sigh of life. Since he can't let it go, let the one he loves breathe beside him in the way of musical notes. This is a kind of self-salvation. . It can be said that the two have been together for the rest of their lives, and it can also be said that the two have never met again in their entire lives. They each got married, Yilana had children and grandchildren, and lived a happy life, but when the white flower appeared, she would still sigh secretly in the past. Nasser obeyed his mother's arrangement, got married with the perfect wife, and his music career was at its peak, but whenever he was alone in the middle of the night, he couldn't forget the past, and his performance was only alive for Ilana. .
The two sides who seem to have let go after missing out, in fact, dare not face this difficult parting. Nasser put the nostalgia for Ilana into the violin, but was completely smashed by his broken wife. For an artist, he lost his hands. For an infatuated man, he truly lost his love. , Nasser missed it completely, so many years of missing have already become a belief, and at that time the belief collapsed, and everything could not support Nasser's heart, whether it was his favorite plum chicken or sexy and hot actress and even his lovely children. Ilana's pretense after meeting Nasser is not an escape. The thoughts of exhausting her whole life can only be missed. Life is not a delicious and simple plum chicken, nor is life a happy prince and princess at the end of a fairy tale.
Easy to miss, hard to let go. This is the final choice Ilana made in the moment after seeing Nasser, and it is also the final choice of life.
Love is especially precious because it is easy to miss, and love is regarded as eternal because it is difficult to let go.
