In the book, we love each other

This is not an ordinary encounter, there are no other adjectives except love and warmth. In the name of flowers, she lives in words, in entwined adjectives, and in verbs with long grasses. Some people broke free with strength, but she prevailed with softness, penetrating my body and reaching my heart. In the story of love, there is not only love, sometimes there is no "I love you", but we still love each other.

A very tender and emotional movie. Ordinary characters, beautiful and fresh life pictures and lines full of poetic book wisdom shine in the simple story.

A child born out of a passion, a mother with a bad and broken family of origin, a mother who can't express her love correctly to her child, but a cynical mother, who has been humiliated by teachers since she was a child, has no professional skills certificate or even can't write, and has an inferiority complex. People can still give warmth and care to those around them through their own hands and a kind heart;

Even if he is dismissed as "such a thing" by his mother, he carefully observes the characteristics of each small animal and names it. Even if he thinks he is useless, he still looks forward to giving all his love to his future children and giving his lover a complete home. . However, this rather peaceful life is based on "rare confusion" - everything is very simple and vague, as if without thinking, pain will no longer be seen and followed.

Even if you can't change the past and don't get enough love in childhood, "everything is still waiting to be discovered by him"; even if you haven't read a book or can't use a dictionary, you can still use long experience and keen listening to empathize between the lines Even if you are doing the lowest level of labor and only need to consider basic livelihood, you can stand on tiptoe, wash away the splendor and loneliness of life, and see the light of the world through the eyes of books.

In the afternoons full of French books, the kind and honest Charman also comforted the little time left of the lonely old man who was about to lose his light and could not continue reading.

Because of this movie, I also like to point out the book in the hand of the general and read it word by word, rubbing and listening, because reading aloud brings more immersive moving.

A few of my favorite shots, in addition to Charlman and Margaret's conversation on the park bench, reading and sharing life, as well as his ramble to the cat about his mental journey into the world of reading; Embrace reading; the moment of excited laughter when hearing lover's pregnancy after reconciliation with childhood...

I always believe that people who meet because of the book are most likely to have a peaceful and sincere heart, and even if they are just passing by without a single "I love you" encounter, they can walk into each other's softest depths and love each other.

To quote the end of the video:

This is not an ordinary encounter, there are no other adjectives except love and warmth. In the name of flowers, she lives in words, in entwined adjectives, and in verbs with long grasses. Some people broke free with strength, but she prevailed with softness, penetrating my body and reaching my heart.
In the story of love, there is not only love, sometimes there is no "I love you", but we still love each other.
It was not an ordinary encounter, I found her by chance on a bench in the square. She was inconspicuous, like a little white dove with her delicate feathers. She lives in words, and like me, she deals with ordinary words. She gifted me a book, and then two. Pages flashed before my eyes.
Don't wither, there is still time, wait a minute, it's not time yet, my little flower, share some more with me, share some of your life.

My Afternoons with Margueritte quotes

  • Germain Chazes: It's not a typical love affair, but love and tenderness, both are there. Named after a daisy, she lived amongst words, surrounded by adjectives in green fields of verbs. Some force you yield to. But she, with soft art, passed through my hard shield and into my heart. Not always are love stories just made of love. Sometimes love is not named but it's love just the same. This is not a typical love affair I met her on a bench in my local square. She made a little stir, tiny like a bird with her gentle feathers. She was surrounded by words, some as common as myself. She gave me books, two or three Their pages have come alive for me. Don't die now, you've still got time, just wait It's not the hour, my little flower Give me some more of you. More of the life in you Wait Not always are stories just made of love Sometimes love is not named. But it's love just the same.
