Personally, I feel that it is not appropriate to translate it as "Modern Love". There are several stories about love in a broader sense, or friendship is more appropriate.
These love stories are true stories of ordinary people in The New York Times' Modern Love column. The opening photo is probably related to these stories.
Episode 1 When the Doorman Is Your Main Man
A year-old friendship between a young woman living alone in New York and her doorman, Guzmin. Guzmin is her concierge, bodyguard, confidant, and a fatherly figure.
Guzmin, who used to be a soldier, has a pair of eagle eyes, which can give a rough judgment on the approaching person within the range of a sniper.
In fact, as long as he saw the girl's eyes, he knew whether the man beside her was qualified.
"Shut up, New York!"
Episode 2 When Cupid is a Prying Journalist
There is nothing special about love in this story. The reporter is the Cupid who shoots the arrow of love. Some love can be lost and found, and some can only be seen from afar.
Episode 3 Take Me as I Am, Whoever I Am
Anne Hathaway plays a manic-depressant. She was so secretive about her condition that she lost multiple jobs. The relationship is also not smooth. The important thing is that the person or company she left does not know her condition and may doubt her character.
Love is not the point here, the last female boss is worthy of praise. The heroine started to open up to others because of her.
(PS: The people who left me inexplicably in those years, were they bipolar?)
Episode 4 Rallying to Keep the Game Alive
Older marriages are closer to family love.
Sustaining a marriage, like playing badminton or tennis with a peace ball, requires the cooperation of both parties in order to make the game last as long as possible. In order to show your strength, or just to embarrass the opponent, hit the ball at a tricky angle or with great force, and the game will end early.
John Slattery hasn't changed over the years. It's just that the gray hair is thinner than in "Mad Men".
Episode 5 At the Hospital, an Interlude of Clarity
The hospital is an awakening place.
The male and female protagonists who were strangers had an accident on their first date and went directly to the emergency room. After one night, the heroine no longer cared about the attention rate of her online live broadcast, washed away the prettiness, and showed her plain face. The final relationship between the two is not clear, but it is certain that it is a warm, peaceful thing.
In the bathroom of the hospital, the two of them are convenient in front of each other, and they are not shy.
"We seem to be fast-forwarding years."
Episode 6 So He Looked Like Dad. It Was Just Dinner, Right?
The girl grew up without a father, projecting her desire for fatherly love onto her older colleagues in the company.
Colleagues misunderstood and thought it was an ambiguous hint.
If you can't be happy, you can still be friends. This is not the same as the man you meet in real life. This is probably why we need cinematic literature.
Episode 7 Hers Was a World of One
The adoption of a child by a same-sex couple. Andrew Scott, who watched the birth of the little girl with tears in his eyes, developed real affection for the child.
And the child's biological mother is not really indifferent. After careful observation, she believes that this pair of people will be responsible parents.
Episode 8 The Race Grows Sweeter Near Its Final Lap
The love of the sunset is extraordinarily sweet. Because I have already experienced the ups and downs of life.
The last rain ties together the eight stories, and also explains some omitted details.
It's beautiful.
Looking for the music in the play tomorrow, I will come back slowly to add it.
Tomorrow's tomorrow has arrived. . .
