lovers on the new bridge

I read the spoiler a long time before watching it, so the ending in my impression is seriously deviated.
Let's talk about this story first.
Michel is a wealthy girl who likes to paint. She broke up with her boyfriend who was a cellist. She was brokenhearted and suffered from an eye disease. She ran away from the street and met Alex, a homeless man on the bridge, and fell in love.
The ending in my impression is that Michel cured his eye disease and finally left Alex. But the fact is, Michel found Alex again two years after the eye disease was cured, and resumed the front line.
In the stories that happened in Paris, it is rare to see that extraordinarily enchanting city, and almost all the scenes are on the old dilapidated bridge. When we met, Alex fell in love with this mysterious woman who could draw, secretly went to her home to learn about her story, wrote an extremely romantic sentence to confess her love to her (a very romantic sentence in my opinion), and finally won her over.
On the 200th anniversary of the founding of Paris, they ran in the city's night sky, danced in Handel's "March of Fireworks", and slid down the Seine River. Their joy had nothing to do with the city, but was set off by the joy of the city. Even more flamboyant, perhaps, for them, this is the most unscrupulous and real happiness in their lives.
Alex's ugliest appearance shows the most true and beautiful love, for her to steal things for her to breathe fire and perform, to make her eyesight is declining, he pretends to be her clown, these are his sacrifices. But when he found the figure of her former lover, he stopped them from reuniting; the money they had stolen, he deliberately let her knock it over into the Seine; seeing the revelation of her family's search on the street, he went to burn it, even She did not hesitate to hurt people; until she finally chose to leave him to treat her eye disease, he self-harmed; these, he was destroying.
Seeing their love like this, I felt uneasy for a moment. I felt that for them, it was all stolen happiness, and it was just two lines that were originally unrelated and met occasionally. Michel's wandering is only temporary, but Alex is born to wander, their love is just an accident for Michel, it is just a special feeling of people at a certain stage, maybe it should be a dream, there will always be awakening when.
I have always disliked Alex. I admit that he loves, but I think he is selfish. It is better for him to use his love to destroy what she deserves. Of course, for Alex, Michel is his hope, his everything, and the most beautiful feeling in his life. However, he should know that of course she has the right to live a better life. If she loves, she should not stop her and should bear her departure. Of course, she can still return to him in the end, just like the end, but at least, this is her active choice, the call from her heart.
It seems that I am more used to the story of the prince and princess.
