Every time I want to write a review of Notting Hill, I don't know how to do it. But she meant so much to me. I don't know if that experience led me to see the movie more than once, I can't remember exactly how many times. The feeling that a person "goes from heaven to hell" more than once is not just the emotion of the rest of his life. Perhaps the only thing that can bring us this feeling more than once is "love". She is like a dose of spiritual opium, which makes people addicted. Everyone's love details are different, but all people who have experienced love will have the feeling of "going from heaven to hell", to be precise, walking between heaven and hell more than once. Or when a love is about to leave when you don't want to, it's really too similar to that. The happy ending of the film is not necessarily the case in reality. Maybe I lost that love and always felt sorry for myself, so I liked this movie so much. Maybe the characters in the story are so vivid and real, and they all have the helplessness and happiness of the little people, so I am so fascinated by this. Being able to resonate is the film's greatest reward, even if only a handful of people like it more than the hustle and bustle of the Oscars. The movie soundtrack that speaks to the heart of the characters is also the reason I end up loving it.
Maybe one day I won't enjoy watching this movie anymore and I think I'll be healed. But everyone is more or less mentally ill. Maybe it's nothing, maybe it really is an insurmountable mental barrier. Like may also be a disease.
