The film outlines a future version of "love in the age of cholera" through the relationship between the protagonist Theodore, his ex-wife, the current (although only a high-level Siri), and his friends, three Her. Asynchronous, untuned, self-doubt, hysterical, compassionate, physical, platonic, happy, masochistic, co-grown, surviving, love that should be some.
But I think that Spike Jonze, who is the director and scriptwriter of the film, wants to reflect on his past through this story. As the film says, all our memories are just stories for ourselves.
Like the protagonist Theodore, he has entered middle age and his career is not bad, but he is experiencing an important parting in life (who married Sofia Coppola, the daughter of the godfather, and then divorced). He is delicate and sensitive, feeling lonely, but Cannot be freed from indulging in the past. Therefore, I believe that Spike wrote this story and wanted to help himself see something through Theodore's own mapping and learn to let go.
A flashback and an ongoing love, like "Blue Valentine's Day", reflect the huge contrast between the budding love and the disillusionment. We see that the road of love is full of edge killers, there are deviations in life goals, expectations and reality, mental deviations, emotional deviations... A perfect love is even more illusory than a two-person orgasm at the same time. But after seeing this point through, it doesn't matter if you don't get this only desirable beauty. We are nothing more than short-lived visitors in this world, no matter what the situation is, just live happily.
Therefore, Theodore, who spoke sweetly every day to help others, finally left the sweetest words to his ex-wife (or his past).
Dear Catherine,
I'm sitting here thinking about all the things I'd want to apologize for, all the pain we caused each other, everything I put on you, whatever thing I needed you to be, needed you to say, I'm sorry for that. I've always loved you cuz we grew up together, and you made me who I am. I just wanted you to know, there will be a piece of you in me always, and I'm grateful for that. Whatever someone Become've you, Wherever you are in at the world, the I'm sending you Love, you are in My Friend at the End.
Love,
Theodore
he will not be jealous of his ex-wife at her, no longer tangled Samantha farewell. Life is too short, not letting go is a waste of life. So he finally bid farewell to his ex-wife, said goodbye to Samantha, and said bravely to his new life, Hi.
