Would you be my valentine, for life.

It's been a long time since a movie made me decide what to write in tears after watching it.

Derek Cianfrance's Blue Valentine, no matter how you look at it, is pure pain. The director tried his best to tell a broken love story, let us See how Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams' Dean and Cindy went from gluey, "Baby, it's just you and me" to finally hating each other, "I am so out of love with you".

Early in love, everything is Exudes a familiar smell. He said, how can a girl as beautiful as you go to study medicine, it should be a super model. She smiled, her face full of joy that could not be hidden. They play the piano and dance on the street, they have sex in the room, they have their own songs, they only have each other in their eyes, and they think it's forever.

A few years later, he lost his hair, the handsome shirt of his youth became a vest covered in paint, and the once bright eyeshadow was hidden behind the brown lenses. She has also gained weight, and the beautiful long blonde hair of her youth has turned into a messy ponytail at the back of her head. They rarely looked at each other, talked without their children, and stopped making love.

They went to the sex hotel, and the moment they embraced and danced, everything seemed like yesterday. But when the music stopped, everything was just his mouth full of alcohol and her foggy eyes.

This may be the true face of marriage, and no one has any reservations about anyone. Since it is no longer necessary to dress up and manage yourself, why not let inertia infiltrate and show your ugliest self. But who can say that saying "hey, this is the real me" is not courageous? If the other party can't accept such "real" us, then is this still love?

He loves her enough to accept being the father of other people's children, and she loves him enough to give up her dream of studying medicine. But seeing that his hair is sparse and idle, and she is out of shape and grumpy, does the so-called "love" no longer exist?

At the end, the film switches between them on their wedding day and them arguing in the kitchen. At the wedding she held his hand and said "I, Cindy, take you, Dean as my husband, my partner in life and my one true love". In the kitchen he called her "you lied to me, you told me for better and for worse, and this is my worse!". When

we love someone, we make so many beautiful vows, but we don't know that these sweet words will have endless lethality in the near future. Word by word mercilessly stabs the softest place in your heart, until there is blood and tears flowing in the past.

We can't forget the past but we can't bear the reality, who's valentine, for life.
