The last look of love.

Recently, I revisited part of Ryan's film.
Blue is the movie that has been dragged and dare not to watch the second time.
Taking advantage of the relaxation of the exam today, I made up my mind to watch it again.

Blue is a romantic movie that is not suitable for watching more.
It turns out that no matter how relaxed and happy you watch it, the result will be as gloomy as I am now covered with a piece of gray gauze.

This film has been drawing our emotions with two lines of sadness and joy.

When Dean makes his debut, the middle-aged man who is a bit flattered, fat, and drunk will be Ryan Gosling. Although this man looks sloppy, drunk, and smokes, there is no oblique telling the audience how much this man loves his daughter at the beginning of the film. He will tirelessly say to his daughter "I love you." "Do you know how much I love you?" Such words. He will accompany her to play games that adults think are naive at breakfast. Then when the camera turned to Cindy, played by Michelle, there was an obvious antagonism. When Dean took her daughter onto the big bed and asked her to get up, she was obviously unhappy. She spoke very little, and didn’t even make sense. Live your own husband. From waking up in the morning, to making breakfast for the child, to sending the child out to school, all this is just a routine routine that she needs to do every day.

The first time I touched my scene was Dean’s repeated instructions to Cindy who drove the child to school, "Hey, fasten the seat belt." "Please fasten the seat belt." He talked over and over again, completely. Ignoring Cindy's indifference towards him, when C drove away, he even swears at a high-speed car on the road. If some people happen to start watching from this lens, I believe many people will definitely have a big drop in Dean's impression. This is like a middle-aged loser who has failed in his life and went drunk in the street. But this is a manifestation of his deep love for his wife and daughter, and for this family.

Then the wife told him that she had found their dog, Megan, on the road. But it was just a corpse that was hit to death. When I saw this, I secretly admired the director's foreshadowing in the previous paragraph. Cindy told Dean during her daughter’s performance. Dean didn’t complain too much at the time. Even after hearing the bad news, he didn’t have much mood swings. He just said, "How many times did I say that you should close that damn." Door." Then Cindy kept sobbing in a low voice. Until the last home, when Dean buried Megan, the man finally let go of his strong side, trembling and crying loudly. Megan was already a family presence in Dean's heart. I think this once again strongly suggests how much this man cares about everything in this family. At that time, Cindy hugged Dean from behind. I believe this shot touched a lot of people for the first time. I even doubted my previous judgment. I thought the two of them were still in love with each other.

Dean sent his daughter to his grandfather's house and took Cindy to the erotic hotel, although Cindy refused many times, he still insisted. But on the way to the hotel, Cindy met her former boyfriend, and Dean quarreled with her in the car because of this. Cindy said, "He is fat now." Dean said, "What does his fat have to do with me? Who cares whether he is fat or not?" Cindy said, "Anyway, he is a loser now." Then Dean couldn't control himself anymore. "Do you think that would make me feel better? How does he have to do with me?" Until the end Cindy apologized and tricked Dean into saying that he wanted to urinate, and got out of the car to hide in the woods to calm himself. This shot made me feel that Dean was so sensitive and scary, but until I saw it, I didn't understand what weight this woman held in Dean's heart that made him so irritable.

From the moment he walked into the hotel room, Cindy's expression remained as flat as usual, and Dean jumped on the revolving bed like a child, yelling over and over again for Cindy to look at him. Then they called their daughter and confessed. Dean said to his daughter, "I love you.", and taught her the funny laughter of the future people he imagined. No one could have thought that this girl was not what he did. He was so good to her. When Cindy was taking a shower in the hotel, Dean walked in to please her, but Cindy pushed him away and said that he was already washed. By the time the story ends, I think many people have already understood this woman's thin feelings for this man.

When Dean was young, he was a handsome, energetic guy who didn't graduate from high school. He is kind-hearted, and when he helps the elderly move to the nursing home, he cleans up everything before he wants to leave. Cindy is a medical college student in New York. He is not humorous, and his family is not harmonious. He has a boyfriend who is not very reliable and finally got her pregnant.

Dean believed in love at first sight at such a young age, and then he met the beautiful Cindy, and he just took a look in the nursing home, and he believed that he loved her. But the girl Cindy didn’t believe her. Her parents didn’t agree with each other. She asked her grandma how she was sure that this person was the other half of her life. Her grandma told her that she couldn’t be sure because she had never done this to Cindy’s grandfather. feel. Because of this family, the young Cindy is not optimistic about marriage and love.

Dean tried his best to please Cindy, first struggling to strike up a conversation in the bus, and then leading her to play piano and dance on the street at night. That was the most beautiful scene in this film. Dean played the piano and sang hard, Cindy tapped and danced unskillfully. Then wait for the end of the song, give the other party the best smile and loud High five.

Dean moved Cindy with his enthusiasm and perseverance. They just fell in love with each other and did everything that men and women in love should do. Until Cindy found out that she was pregnant with her ex-boyfriend's child. Dean accompanies her to the abortion, but Cindy can't end her little life cruelly. In the end Dean said to Cindy, "Let's just do it, let's build a family."

From the time Dean said this to Cindy, I knew that the word "family" was an unbreakable vow for this man. But I still couldn't be sure if Cindy would marry Dean without this child, would she love him enough?

Until now, Cindy even refused to have sex with Dean, just simply kissing her would cover her eyes and push him away. She left Dean alone in a hotel more than 2 hours' drive away from home, and drove away to work without any nostalgia.

Dean took the bus to the clinic where Cindy worked. When he found the front desk and asked the nurse where Cindy was, the nurse said "oh, you must be Dean.", and when he and Cind were going out to talk, this The nurse said again, "Don't let him brainwash you again." I don't know how many people Cindy complained about her dissatisfaction with her marriage in the clinic, and complained about her long-standing love for Dean.

Eventually things got to this point, Cindy can no longer use his only remaining feelings to maintain this thin ice marriage, "I'm done.""There is nothing in my heart for you.""I don't love you any more.", Cindy was like a merciless servant at this time, and a harsh and merciless sentence was like a sharp knife slashing through it. Although it would not kill Dean, it was already scarred.

Cindy said that she was going to get a divorce, Dean took off the wedding ring angrily, but the next second he immediately regretted it and hurried back to look for it.

Dean and Cindy went back to Cindy’s father’s house, in the kitchen over and over again, Cindy said "I'm sorry." and said to Cindy "please tell me what else should I do?"
Crying on the door frame like a child, begging Cindy for forgiveness. He couldn't accept the fact that Cindy said he didn't love him. He couldn't accept Cindy's vow to overthrow the "family" which was the supreme and indestructible oath in his heart.

But there is no way, a marriage without love has already fallen into the abyss. Can't proceed anymore.

When Dean finally walked alone in the lonely fireworks, the little girl ran after him and hugged Dean's legs and begged him not to leave. This scene made many people feel distressed.

The young man who made you happy on the bus, the young man who would sing You and Me to you, the young man who promised you a lifetime oath, suddenly seemed insignificant in front of all this.

Cindy needs a husband who can take care of the family and make more money for the family. But Dean is an extreme romantic. He doesn't want to use his talents in exchange for money or time to spend with his wife and children.

The two people's values ​​of marriage fall apart and cannot compromise, which leads to the end of a love.

Indeed, would you still believe in the beauty of love?
The last look of love, these once only beautiful things are as instantaneously beautiful as fireworks, but they will eventually be wiped out.


When love is real, you don't have to show it.
When it is true, then everyone will
know.'Cause there'll be no one but

You and me
You and me
Nobody baby but you and me
