Staring on the edge of the cliff of humanity

I knew from the beginning of the movie that it would repeat my point

Of course, the expectations for Rohmer have always been firm

so-called cheating

The previous technology was backward, and the track car could only run. Of course, it can only follow the established track, otherwise it will overturn. It's just that the living environment is more forgiving now, and the track will remain, but there are more choices on the way to the goal

In fact, two lonely people are naturally easy to approach, and they are probably easy to integrate into each other's context psychologically; and two people who love lively are not easy to get along with, there are always different excitements that make awkward scene

If love in marriage is "should" first, it is forced by the social reality of marriage. Both men and women in marriage carry too much pressure and responsibility, and usually understand and understand each other's difficulties. They are too familiar with each other. Many things about the other party are self-evident. It will gradually become silent and opposite. At this time, even the pervasive jealousy is a kind of luck. Isn't jealousy because of caring? then it at least proves an intimate courtship

Chatting with another lonely person often produces an illusion of dependence, which is not only out of human natural sympathy, but also the hidden sense of identity of lonely people. Even rationally, it is not considered necessary or helpful. of. Similar to drinking, after drinking, you can use the volatilization of alcohol to achieve false excitement

Love is a kind of freedom, which has nothing to do with marriage and family responsibilities, but it cannot be turned into pity and charity, which is Chloe's prerequisite for love; the problem is also here, she takes herself too for granted;

As for Frederick, after experiencing setbacks after affirming past successful experiences (judging people by their appearance), people naturally fall into a lack of belief. At this time, the sense of mystery, that is, the desire for the unknown, will overwhelm the fatigue of life and restore the pursuit of self-belief. At any time, people will not give up the pursuit of existence unless they are on the verge of death and loss of will.

It is true that distance produces beauty. A woman can't love a man who knows her like the back of her hand, that's too insecure; a man won't always be infatuated with a woman he's not familiar with, because then he'll get lost in the proof of the existence of male wild instinct

I always feel that the turning point comes from the commitment to the family and marriage. Is the desire itself a bit insufficient? There may be a lot of train derailment, and many times it is an accidental choice in a moment. This is what Milan Kundera said about the lightness of life. Things that cannot be repeated are meaningless, and there is no absolute right or wrong. I just have deep sympathy for human nature, and here I can only sincerely bless Rohmer for this explanation. Too rational experiences are often more illusory. Can human nature withstand repeated temptations?

The sense of powerlessness in marriage is often not traced back to all kinds of accidents in life, but determined by the social attributes of marriage itself.

The restriction of marriage to freedom, can we first understand the restriction of freedom to marriage? Many people may overlook that as long as two things are related to each other in the world, it is impossible for only one of them to affect the other.

Due to the lack of education on the relationship between the sexes of young people in China, many people released floods in the name of the law in the late adolescence. The lack of calm experience and cognition caused constant entanglement in the following decades.

Reading can indeed solve loneliness, and what can solve loneliness even more is someone reading and chewing with you.

Plus, I'm just now understanding the bourgeois character of afternoon tea

One of the characteristics of Rohmer's films is that you often seek the meaning of every detail in the film, which is meaningless; on the contrary, his narrative style is like a river that is self-contained, and you can often return to nature if you follow the feeling.

But there are two metaphorical moments in the film that are worth mentioning: Frederick's self-imposed staggered meal time, to an unremarkable friend, exposes "you are no different from them", which is the title of the film "Afternoon" ” emphasis;

The pullover he insisted on was changed to a shirt for the articulate salesman, and it just so happened that the pullover temporarily saved his marriage.

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.
