Talk about your love, let others talk about it!

"In ancient times, we didn't text messages, chat online, cross the oceans, or get stuck on the road. If I want you, I will climb over two mountains, walk five miles, and hold your hand."
This is Hu Shufen said. To be honest, if the girl hadn't told me, I had never heard of this person. But this is secondary, the key is that he still speaks quite brilliantly.
However, McLuhan is about to speak, what's wrong with online love?
This film was shot in 1998, but in addition to the development of new media and forms such as instant chat tools, SNS, and Weibo, the storyline has probably happened to countless netizens, right? Although not everyone can be ups and downs like Uncle Hanks.
From another perspective, the network is nothing but a medium, and it is just a medium. And the medium is an extension of the human body. So in ancient times, it was the words of matchmakers, but now it’s network love; in the past we let matchmakers to propose marriages, but now we use the mouse and keyboard to communicate. Of course, not everyone can meet the person they belong to on the Internet, and in many cases they even have a happy time, the so-called "seeing the light and die". However, how many people have found their most suitable person in reality?
Don't think of the Internet as a scourge. This film educates us about network romance, develop reasonably, communicate normally, and return to reality in a timely manner. After all, two people can't live together on the Internet for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, this is more of a film about interpersonal interaction and trust, and the Internet is just one of the props. If you look at it in 1998, it's a little gimmicky. I guess people weren't used to it at that time: Huh? Are you in love with your netizen? Ah? You actually dated him when you met him?
So we really have to thank the Internet, otherwise how could I meet you in the vast crowd. I want to go over two mountains and walk five miles to hold your hand, but I don't know you, would you like to see me follow me?
So love is not something that can decide, love matters. Without the Internet, we still fall in love, without the Internet, we still have sex.

Coincidentally, the day I met you for the first time, you wrote such a journal "I Don't Want to Sleep Alone", and then we came together from two strangers, it was really amazing matter.
This is fate.
What’s even more amazing is that Nong’s log says that you have heard the train passing by not far away. do you know? It was this short message from Nong that made me magically attracted by you. And two years ago, I didn't read your log.
Therefore, discussing the issue of online dating is to discuss the issue of love in the final analysis. The issue of online dating is a pseudo-issue. As long as you like the reality, you will be together.
Of course, with regard to the issue of love, naturally, it is not about online dating. We naturally advocate a multi-pronged approach. After all, online dating must return to reality in the end, otherwise it will be pure YY.
I hope all the princes, princesses, frogs, and dinosaurs in the world can find their favorites, no matter what medium or form you use.
Finally, I invented the motto of the great Florentine poet:
Talk about your love, let others say it!

PS I always like Uncle Hanks' performance, always.

    If it weren't for these two people, the film's value would be pitiful. The modern version of P&P lacks the most important essence-replace the class conflict of "He is a gentleman and I am a gentleman's daughter" with "You do a good job in business but I only understand the book", but the female standpoint is weakened, that is The reason for the love is unknown, an elevator accident? This strength is too far from "a gentleman must marry a good wife". But after all, it's a romantic light comedy that can't ask for so much.

    Classic brain fragments. Simplify, idealize, and conceptualize feelings. Do you think the audience is a three-year-old child? Do you believe in such an outrageous plot?
