There are so many temptations in this world every day, people's desires are more eager than ever, and there are some things that make people around you feel sorry for them on the spur of the moment.

After a long time, people often forget those happy days together and lose love. As soon as the child is born and grows up, the sweet world of two people is broken, and the attractiveness in each other's eyes will plummet. At this time, when there is an external temptation, it is easy to ignore the family and the child and focus on that temptation. Go, under the veil full of romance, you can satisfy all your fantasies and the thrill of adventure at the moment, you plunge into it, be provoked and abetted by all kinds of provocations, and even the evil thoughts of crime may be provoked, and evil will grow towards courage. If you are confused for a while, there may be no turning back in your life.

The German film pioneer Murnau's "Sunrise", which won multiple awards at the first Oscar, tells such a sad and happy story about love.

The film begins by saying that it is "a song about two people".

"The song of a man and his wife is everywhere,

You can hear it anytime and anywhere,

Whether in a busy city or on a farm under the open sky,

The sun rises and sets the same: sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet. "

This love song of men and women really has a long history, and it seems that it has never changed, so the story has been passed down for a long time.

In midsummer, a city woman came to the countryside by the sea for a holiday, seduced a local farmer, let him sell the farm and run away with her, and instigated him to kill his wife, and then pretended to be an accident... read the news , and sometimes you'll see new versions of this story with various variations.

The city woman dressed in fashionable and sexy clothes, dressed up enchantingly, and seduced the farmer with great enthusiasm. Every night, she came to the window of his house to whistle, so the farmer was no longer interested in farming and sold cattle. Looking around, she ran to meet her, the wife at home was doing housework, watching her husband who didn't return late at night, and crying with her son, but the husband was in the woman's arms.

He really wanted to kill, but fortunately he couldn't do it in the end. His wife was heartbroken, and her husband was remorseful. They bumped into other people's newlyweds on the streets of the city, went to church, watched the vows the priest made to the bride and groom, the husband burst into tears, and heard the sentence: "Does loving her make you gaunt?", the husband wept bitterly, What a sad picture the wife forgave him.

They went to the photo studio to take pictures again. The photographer captured the moment when they embraced and kissed. They also went to the playground to play like children and danced cheerful dances that had not been done for a long time. The husband found that his wife was still As beautiful and lovely as ever, the wife felt that her husband was still handsome and funny, and they felt extremely happy. This unexpected day of being alone allowed them to regain their former passion and attachment to each other.

Unexpectedly, on the way home, there was lightning, thunder, and violent storms. Their boat was overturned, and the two were separated. The husband survived first. He returned to the village and called many people to search and rescue his wife at sea. The reeds floating on the top of the grass—that was what he tied to his wife in a desperate situation, and he was saving himself after preparing to murder his wife—the husband thought that his wife had died like this, and he returned home in a state of despair, no one knew what he was feeling now What should I think? The city woman thought she had succeeded and came to him and looked at her. The farmer was furious and wanted to strangle her. Fortunately, his wife was rescued by an experienced old fisherman in the village, and they started a new family. People's warm days, new day, sunrise, city women left here hopelessly.

Love is such a turbulent journey, and it may not all be smooth sailing. After difficulties and obstacles, you should remember the days when you fell in love and shared weal and woe. Marriage and love cannot always be kept fresh, so sometimes you have to do something deliberately to stimulate your increasingly numb nerves. , cook a meal for your lover, do housework together, travel together occasionally, enjoy the world of two people, look at those beautiful scenery, you will look forward to the happy days together.

Although it is a silent film, it is very exciting. Many scenes are famous in film history. The rhythm and soundtrack are also very good. It is not that fast paced, but allows you to fully watch and feel the expression and mood of the protagonist. You will think as I do, this is a really touching love song.
