The essence of the relationship between people is reciprocity

The female painter is very attractive. Even if she is rude and arrogant, she can create more value for Andrew, and Andrew chose to go with her.

Ursula's mind is simple and interesting, and she has a life-saving grace for Andrew, but she can't continue to give Andrew any value, so Andrew left.

The damage that Andrew's walking has brought to Ursula is huge. In the end, Ursula's relief was based on her insight into world affairs.

Will Andrew be grateful? The answer is implicitly given at the end of the film. He did not invite the old man to London. I didn't expect to meet again. Even if we meet, what can we say to each other? Nothing

It can't help but remind people of the principle of equivalence in mate selection: the continuation of a relationship is based on the equivalence of the values ​​of both parties, not only based on your dedication and efforts to the other party. The value is not equal, no matter how much you pay, it will be left behind, just like Andrew's attitude towards Ursula.

    There are a lot of unexplained parts of the movie, like Adrea's background, his feelings for Usula, etc., but it doesn't matter from Usula's point of view. Judi Dench deduces an emotion that seems to be trapped by fate, unable to extricate herself. At first I thought what kind of past she had with Adrea. This feeling is strong, fragile, and innocent, which makes her overwhelmed, but most importantly, she is not humble. Even between encounters and farewells, everything has a beauty that is shaped by the loss and comfort of the moment that is not broken but the heart is leading. This kind of love that is based on equality and respect and does not fall, shines brightly regardless of its form and result. The movie is as smooth and natural as running water. PS: The movies in the UK and continental Europe are still good.
