It's not such a romantic story, it's not as glamorous as the poster, and it's even more brutal. Time, love, marriage, cholera... Under those seemingly distant and exotic customs, a person uses the process of life to realize the pain of a love, and only an ascetic knows how much helpless persistence is required to "cultivate a positive fruit".
He can seduce countless women, and he can also keep a virgin for her. It's painful, he makes up for it with countless women, his purpose is clear, he only loves her, and that's pretty much the whole point of his life. His love is too pure and strong, he can't find an outlet to release, but he can only get himself drunk.
He is a legend, a person born for love, who has been waiting for her all her life. From the beginning of the relationship to the old age, the time they missed could not dilute his persistent love at all. Every time he met or passed by her, his face was full of happiness, even the tears of loss, with love and tolerance. No matter who he lingers in the arms of, the one he loves is her.
At the end of the movie, when he and her in their seventies kiss in the golden sunshine on the cruise, time seems to stand still. A lifetime of waiting and searching seems to have frozen at that moment. I believe that is the eternity of life. He had been waiting for this day all his life, and on the boat, the two men who were so old and out of shape enjoyed the evening love, and even expressed their feelings with their bodies. Although they were already dulled physically, it took them a step further in the spirit. I think the ending of the novel and movie makes their soul and flesh finally get close, to comfort those who love with their lives in the floating life, because they may despair early, may die on the road of silent love, and their lives failed to Like in this movie, love is a moment that becomes forever. When I embraced her, the 53 years of mental torture suddenly became light as a feather. Who will be so lucky in the floating life? And at this time, to him, she will slowly give birth to a companion and support.
In the end, he stayed with her on this ship. From now on, the ship will never dock.
