#I think that man is lucky. The reason I say he is lucky is because this kind of love seems to me a life experience that can be met but not desired: it is very unusual, it is avant-garde, and it rarely happens. (Every piece of "sincere feelings" is worthy of our blessing. When can we be free from prejudice, not by others, by society, by "history", and influence what we "deem right"?) Why I There are also reasons why he is lucky: Because in the end Gloria died of illness. Marquez once said in "A Hundred Years of Solitude", "You and death seem to be watching something apart, and there is nothing to feel. Your parents stand in between you, and you will face this directly when your parents pass away. Something, otherwise the death you see is very abstract, you don’t know. Relatives, friends, neighbors, generations, their deaths are not so direct pressure on you. Parents are a curtain between you and death. If you block, your closest person will affect your view of life and death." For Peter, Gloria used to be his closest person. He once confessed "everything" to her: he even confessed that he was bisexual. He must also be aware of the "unusual" of this relationship, so what is "inevitable" is: in this originally "unusual" relationship, he will be better than the previous "girls of the same age" relationship. And his homosexuality that is "ashamed to be open": more thinking, more worries. In this "unusual" relationship, he "generously" accepted "his love for Gloria". At least he "announced the world", he and her "done in and out" and "declared sovereignty" to each other: this is Peter's experience of "fierce ideological struggle", "self-doubt", "self-denial", etc. The "sincere to oneself" decision made.
During this period, he must have "thought" a lot, and he must have been "asking" himself, such as: "Does he really love her?" "Is she worthy of my love?" "Am I worthy of her? "Does she really love me?" "What will the future look like?" "What will others think?" "Will this be a rational decision?" Such questions.
In my opinion, when Peter asked himself those questions, he was already "self-growth". The result of this love affair: He knew himself more clearly. He also has the courage to face his own heart, he chose ("regardless of") to be sincere to himself, and he chose to "be himself": he is stronger.
Having said that, Gloria's "death of illness" put a "shadow of death" on this relationship. "Tragic things" always make people "impressed". One thing is certain is that Peter will never forget "Gloria" in his entire life. He will "learn" and "know" a lot from the life of a woman who is much "older" than him, Gloria. The "love" with Gloria and the "death" of Gloria, (I don't know what it is), made Peter "different" from the past.
This is back to what I said at the beginning (what I understand) that this kind of love is a "life experience that can be met but not sought."
(hhhh Actually I don't care if Peter and Gloria are "true love" at all. Who knows? Is the true love that everyone thinks of "true love" really is "true love"?)
(I heard a saying: "Good love is made by each other." So what I want to say is: Even if this is not a love story, it doesn’t hurt in my opinion. The key is the relationship between "one person" and "another person." "Influence" in other words "interaction"?)
#I didn’t want to write a film review because it was marked "too long"
The movie I watched a long time ago gave me the feeling that "I am envious of this man, and I want such an opportunity to grow myself."
So I can't remember the details. Most of those mental activities are regarded as "self orgasms?" (I don't quite understand)
So there is something inconsistent with the plot of the original movie, I'm really sorry.
What I wrote may be "messy", "a strong sense of fragmentation", bother me (I always think of "that" from "this")
