desperate love

Honestly, this is one of my most hated movies, and it revealed a brutal truth that shattered my dreams of the remnants of love.
In Milan Kundera's original work, the love between the two protagonists is just a foil to coax that turbulent age. After being adapted into a movie, the positions between them are just reversed, politics is the curtain, and love plays the leading role.
There is no movie like it, tearing apart the truth of love and smashing bloody hearts where there is still blood. Men and women are so different, the contradictions and wars between them will never cease. Men don't need love to have sex with women, they just need to vent their raw urges. And women can never understand, without love, how can intimacy be so? She tried to experience it, but it was a very bad experience. What men have is animal sex, and it has nothing to do with love. Women are the exact opposite.
The end of the film alludes to the fact that absolute loyalty and love are only in heaven.
In that small village that looks like a Taoyuan, the men seem to be restrained, and the women are almost intoxicated. In the warm love, they understand each other, compromise and cherish each other, and everything seems to be so happy. However, every onlooker can clearly see that this kind of warmth can only exist in the Peach Blossom Spring, just like Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu in the tomb of the living dead, at the bottom of the heartless valley... As long as you leave here, the man will still be wandering, and the woman will be sad.
The war of loyalty between men and women will never end. And any girl who has fantasies about love should list this movie as a must-read subject. When certain problems come to you, don't be too sad.
