Maybe love is not art

Talk about Linda.
Throughout the movie, I don't really like Linda's character, I think she's a bit selfish.
Linda is very like the rich mother in the inferior mainland TV series. She likes to arrange everything for her son, what kind of school to go to, what kind of job to find, what kind of wife to marry, all in the routine, as long as the son has Rebellious mentality, immediately put pressure to contain it, if the son is obedient, it is best, this mother can keep out the wind and rain, and try not to let the sun and rain bother her son as much as possible.
But just like the clichéd chicken soup for the soul, we have long known that "mother can't be with us forever", what should we do if the mother who protects us is not by our side?
In order to protect Blue's safety, or in other words, in order to make Blue feel at ease by her side, Linda didn't even let Blue learn to fly and kept it as a pet, and didn't teach Blue the ability to protect herself.
Therefore, Blue is in a deep crisis, and he can't have a carnival with the same kind, and he can't fly freely in your heart with your loved one. When I saw this, I kind of hated Linda.

But I suddenly thought of some other pictures. I remembered Wang Xiaobo's saying in "Long Time, Heaven", "Don't you know? You don't care what you ask someone to do, not only for his own good, but also to make him happy. This is The art of love. To make people happy when they do things, the only way to love them is to make them happy, you know?"
In the process of Linda taking care of Blue, Blue actually enjoys it very much. I also like the easy life. So looking at it this way, Linda may actually understand the matter of "love" very well.
Should love be good for him, or should he be happy?
People have been trying to define "love" since ancient times, just like some people say that love is letting go, but others say that love is never letting go. Some people say that love is sacrifice, but others say that love is giving.
Before Blue met Jewel, he was content that he couldn't fly, but when he met people and friends he liked, he hoped that he could fly, and he wanted to protect those who loved him.
Maybe love isn't that complicated, it's not art. Love is just respecting your lover, love is what kind of person you meet, love is what kind of life you want.

  • Linda: [Linda watches on the monitor as Blu and Jewel struggle, thinking they're mating] Wow! That was fast.

    Tulio: Lionel Richie. Works every time. We should probably give them some privacy.

  • Blu: Excuse me! Please! I am trying to sleep!

    Jewel: [sarcastically] Oh, I'm sorry, sleepy head. I'm trying to escape!

    Blu: Escape! Why? This cage is awesome.

    Jewel: The cage! Oh, what was I thinking? I wouldn't expect a *pet* to understand.

    Blu: Pet? Did you just call me a pet? For the record, I am not a pet! I am a companion. And you know what? Do whatever you want! Cause tomorrow morning, Linda will come for me and this whole nightmare will be over.
