Afternoon Love

The little boss lives comfortably and can give himself an afternoon vacation, but he has nothing to do. He is nothing more than shopping alone, seeing the beauties on the street, and struggling to comfort himself, and then going home to spend time with his wife. The ex-girlfriend suddenly came to ask for help, and the sympathy was overflowing. It's just that family life is really boring, even middle-class Yashi is no exception, so he relies more and more on his afternoon friendship with his ex-girlfriend. At the last moment of contact, it was inevitable, but at a critical moment, he ran away in a hurry, and rushed to his home to confess to his beloved wife, never thinking that his wife would cry in fear and guilt before him... When
I was young, I never paid attention to the dialogue in Hou Mai Pian. Only then did I realize its subtlety, Woody Ellen's ramble was a sigh and relief, while Rohmer brought calm despair. It seems that he has understood everything without leaving any room, and deliberately fabricated stories to make people slowly fall into the deepest depths of the swamp, and finally return to peace, and the routine ending also has a hint of a smile from him - the most poisonous is here, It's as if he forgave all this on your behalf, but didn't explicitly reach out to help.
At this moment, I wonder if Rohmer, who is in his 80s, is still an old bachelor. Otherwise, it would be difficult to maintain a free thought and independent behavior for many years, even in a country as open as him, just as his film indicated. Maybe I'm thinking too much, this specialty has nothing to do with things, but with people.
It's hard to live a lifetime, just watch it, or not watch it, it's just a movie.

I don't envy anyone
when they meet a couple
I think it 's just that
so I love the city
People come and go
In my eyes
the value of Paris' streets is
made by these women
These beauties are copies of my wife
They are showing their beauty and
making the world full of beauty
as long as i hug Helen i hug
all the beauties
i feel wasted life
i wont be a part of it
chasing these women back
They're in a hurry
and I'm dreaming that I
can have them
I like to daydream
a childhood dream,
maybe ten years old
A little pendant around my neck
can make a wish
I long to use that power to have women
It's just that
they're too hurried ,
hesitant ,
busy
or someone accompany

Love in the Afternoon quotes

  • Frédéric: I think some element of mystery is essential for people who live together.

  • Chloé: You make me laugh. You really do. Why this insistence on proving you love your wife? If you don't love her, or less than at first, it's not a catastrophe. It's normal. It's normal not to want to always be tied to the same person. Marriage makes less and less sense these days.

    Frédéric: I don't love her because she's my wife. I love her because of who she is. I'd love her even if we weren't married.

    Chloé: No. You love her - if you really do - because you're supposed to. I couldn't stand being loved like that. But then I'm an exception. I won't accept compromises.
