This is what love is like

This is the best love movie I've seen this year, but it's the least beautiful and true love movie.



Please allow me to stop writing rational and objective movie reviews. I just want to write down my feelings about this movie with the music and the fireworks at the end of the movie. A person who is also in love, believes in love, and has been hurt by love. , who are also willing to go to marriage for love. Even if there have been terrible quarrels, even if there have been shameful betrayals, even if the violence of time will take away everything, but the original form of our love, I must remember this unforgettable, just because I loved you, I am in love with you, and I wish I could always love you...just a little wish.



The words were written to accompany Damien Rice's song The blower's daughter, who softly and sweetly chanted "I can't take my eyes of you...I can't take my minds off you..." to the lover. The lover finally left Damien, the songs they sang were still there, the sweet notes were floating in the time-space tunnel, but the lover was no longer there.



Suddenly back to the sad mood of watching the movie, a cloudy weekend, a movie affected all possible good mood. In this way, I immersed myself in the blue sad water waves without hesitation, I was addicted, floated and then escaped into the bottom of the pool, watching the sun swaying on the surface of the water, looking for the air that was gradually thinning, the water all penetrated into the nostrils, I had no strength to swim back again. On the shore, looking for you in the sun, but you are not there, only the pain of suffocation is left. This is what love is like, this time, I am alone.



At the end of those beautiful love stories - the prince and the princess will ride on white horses and gallop through the sunny green forest, all the way to the castle built in the paradise wonderland, where love is waiting for them The sweetest fruit. However, they may have forgotten. Xanadu's castle will eventually collapse due to the ravages of time, their love will be exhausted by the pervasive troubles of chai, rice, oil and salt, and their little princess and prince's honey-like smile and long eyelashes can't stop love from falling apart. Their love is a brittle crystal, and a crystal that was once perfect. The prince and the princess did their best to lock this crystal in the secret room of the castle, with layers of complex passwords, so as not to let any possible situation destroy their love. However, they still forgot. The way love is, the beauty in the beginning tempted them to sink without hesitation, but in the end it turned into a devil, endless quarrel and ruthless puzzlement, and finally the crystal metamorphosed into a hard stone that was no longer bright and shiny, and cut wounds. the hearts of princes and princesses. As a result, the bleeding continued, so they finally saw the original appearance of love, and left no room for them to give them a word - love turns out to be a son of a bitch.



At the end of those real love stories - he and her have no extra money for their wedding, no full support from his family, not even the blessing of his friends, and when she was young she was pregnant with someone else's child, which he accepted because he loved her After all, he was born poor and has no official job, but he has a heart as kind as a child, and she accepts everything because she loves him. They were married in less than 10 minutes in a small church in the town with the blessing of the priest. Her blond hair and her little white dress, his contented smile and his light blue suit... They put inexpensive rings on each other and promised each other that they would love each other forever, and that's it, Encircled each other's life with that small ring. Thus, the girl was born and family life began. In those days, she was no longer the girl in a white gauze skirt, nor was he the boy who sang loudly on the roadside in pursuit of the girl he liked. She was running between work and family, exhausted. All the beauty and sensuality, the haggard face and the wrinkles around her eyes made her a young grudge. In the married life where he no longer needs a childlike innocence, what he needs to face is to find a job that can support his family, but he just wants to live a simple and simple life, he can have a simple job and accompany his wife at any time. By his side, he still upholds a pure innocence against the real world. Seven years ago, he promised her a home, and seven years later he still loves her under the hypnosis of alcohol, but she no longer wants to see such an unmotivated and innocent man. The reason why she once fell in love with him is now the reason why she wants to leave him. He played the song he sang for her again on their blue Valentine's Day, in that cheap love hotel with funny decorations, but she was no longer moved, she rejected him courtship, and locked him out like this. Time has changed their appearance. Time, but also destroyed their love. She finally filed for divorce from him, and he angrily threw his wedding ring into the grass by the roadside, and regretted his heart-wrenching search for the lost ring. Perhaps, from that moment on, time finally turned their love into a sharp blade that cut them, and even though they were still in love, this love was no longer like a born baby, but a dying old man , who needs to be taken care of by others, who needs to be in a wheelchair to move, is an old man who needs to wait for death to come soon. Even though they are still young, their love has grown old. It turns out that this is what love itself looks like, getting old and dying at the fastest speed.



This is the story of the film, at the end of the real story, the chapel where the wedding took place is still there, the hotel room where they had sex for the first time is now another man and woman in love, her room where he plays songs for her Still, that CD is still in the CD case. However, their love is no longer there. Although he begged her to give him another chance, she could do nothing to stop the death of love. Under the sunset, the streets of the town fell into darkness and silence. Inexplicably, whoever lit the fireworks, the beautiful fireworks were lit like this, bloomed quickly, and quickly hidden in the sunset. He left their home alone. Only the sad back and the fireworks blooming in the sky remained. Another fireworks burst in the sky, like their love, like your love, like our love.



In this city, new love is born every second and every moment, and how much love is dying or has died every second and every moment. That, the original appearance of love, blurred in the sad tears, no longer pieced together in the heartbroken heart of the lover, waved goodbye in the lonely back, lost the last patience in the trivial marriage. How many dead souls of love are floating in the sky above this city, these dead loves, they all had a fresh life, they all used to be afraid of death, and they all tried hard to live, but in the end they were still alive. dead. If even love can't be eternal, then what is eternal? Suddenly, there was such despair. But even so, you still have to love, don't you, you should still believe in love, right?



If you believe in destiny, then please believe it. You are my princess now, and I am your prince now. I don't care who will be the princess and prince in the future. Sitting in your BMW and crying is my love. Sitting behind someone else's bike and laughing is also my love. In this era of peace, our love has not experienced the baptism of war, and we did not need to part with life and death because you are going to the battlefield. However, we still have to go through physical aging, we have to go through the baptism of the junior three, we have to go through the test of worldly material things, we have to go through the pain of childbirth and the trouble of growing up a child. Finally, if our love is still what it was at the beginning, please accompany me when I lie on the bed in the nursing home, kiss my dry and aging arms, my pale lips... As long as in the last moment of life, in the eyes With the way you love me, I will definitely forget the words you said to leave me, the ruthless quarrel and the wedding ring I lost, the vow that made me believe that love can last forever - please allow me to have this little wish. Because - "I can't take my eyes of you...I can't take my minds off you..." because I'm about to cry.





The blower's daughter by Damien Rice




and so it is
just like you said it would be
life goes easy on me
most of the time
and so it is
the shorter story
no love, no glory
no hero in her sky
i can't take my eyes off you
i can't take my eyes off you
i can't take my eyes off you
i can't take my eyes off you
i can't take my eyes off you
i can't take my eyes...
and so it is
just like you said it should be
we'll both forget the breeze
most of the time
and so it is
the colder water
the blower's daughter
the pupil in denial
i can't take my eyes off you
i can't take my eyes off you
i can't take my eyes off you
i can't take my eyes off you
i can't take my eyes off you
i can't take my eyes...
did i say that i loathe you?
did i say that i want to
leave it all behind?
i can't take my mind off you
i can 't take my mind off you
i can't take my mind off you
i can't take my mind off you
i can't take my mind off you
i can't take my mind...
my mind...my mind...
'til i find somebody new

    Marriage is inherently pessimistic

  • Dee 2022-03-23 09:01:34

    To quote him: Why can't my ideal be to be your husband? Be Franki's father, my job, my efforts are all for this. Ryan's character is very touching. Marriage will become a habit in the end, and love alone will not make it to the end. Disputes, boredom, these are all things that should be faced together.

Blue Valentine quotes

  • Dean: We're inside a robot's vagina

  • Dean: Look, I didn't want to be somebody's husband and I didn't want to be somebody's dad. That wasn't my... goal in life. For some guys it is - wasn't mine. But somehow, I've... it was what I wanted. I didn't know that and it's all I wanna do. I don't want to do anything else. That's all I want to do. I work so I can do that.
