Stop fighting, just love

[There is no suffering outside of love] The best romantic film "Love" I have seen this year. Under the background of apartheid, the hero and heroine's love spanning half a lifetime has been imprisoned, segregated, deported, tried, threatened, intimidated, and discriminated against because of their skin color. Such a powerful dramatic tension was placed in the hands of Jeff Nichols, but it was all made invisible. , the only thing visible is the little bit about love in the normal life, which comes from the calm, deep and introverted view of the sea, turning all the compassion and injustice under the background of history into softness. All the suffering in front of love is not worth mentioning. He defends and rejects the appeal again and again. The male protagonist never vents his feelings. On the porch, the only love story in the entire movie is narrated: Tell the judge I love my wife. Yes, that's enough.
