- Will you love me like a motor?
- Yes.
- If I go, will you go after me like a motor?
- Can.
- Will you love me like a motor till death?
- Can.
- you are lying.
Motor spent his whole life looking for peonies. Meimei left a note FIND ME IF YOU LOVE ME to "me" and left. This is the end of the movie, did "I" go to find Meimei? Did you find Meimei? The story didn't go on, maybe it didn't matter at all. Because we all know the answer.
"I" won't look for it, and neither will you, wise, neither of us. When love brings more hurt and hardship than it can provide, we choose to give up. We are too realistic, and the motors and peonies are too illusory; perhaps, in their view, the opposite is true.
The French film "Apartment" is also a story about searching. Young Max fell in love with Lisa at first sight. She was noble, beautiful, warm, mysterious, tall, with brown hair and red high-heeled shoes. Max is fascinated by the rose-like Lisa and is determined to live with her. However, Lisa suddenly disappeared at this time, and Max lost his soul and went to New York. Two years later, Max's life is stable and comfortable, and he has a girlfriend who is ready to marry. One day he spotted Lisa in a restaurant phone booth. He tried his best and searched in every possible way, but unexpectedly encountered another woman who claimed to be Lisa, and developed feelings for him. As a result, the truth of the matter was revealed little by little. It turned out that this Lisa was called Alice, and the real Lisa did not disappear.
Lisa is the cinnabar mole in Max's heart. Convinced, tossing and turning, looking for her like crazy, because of anger, to find an answer, and because I didn't get it. I think of course there is love in it, but how deep and how far can this intermittent love go? Max had passed by the real Lisa several times, and they were about to meet, but they both missed each other in the end. At the end of the film, Max finally understood the truth, but it was Alice who got up to look for it.
Alice is not necessarily not Lisa. Passionate and sensitive, she is clothed in betrayal and lies, with pain and joy in her heart, and her transformation is equally beautiful and charming. She finally captured Max and finally chose to leave.
Looking for Lisa, or looking for a woman like Lisa? For Max, Lisa may be the collective name for love in his heart, and who Lisa is is not so important. Lisa who disappeared or Alice who appeared, their figures vaguely overlapped. No one is irreplaceable.
Mao Jian once described such an immortal scene: Adele, who was crazy for love in "The Story of Adele Hugo", faced the surging water, her eyes fanatical and obsessed: "Thousands of mountains and rivers, thousands of mountains and rivers, , to meet you, this kind of thing, only I can do!"
Yes, dear Adele Hugo, only you can do this kind of thing.
