MODERN LOVE, it's been a long time since I watched this eight-episode drama. A 30-minute episode is just the time for a super long movie to watch all of it. It is very suitable for such a cold rainy day, nesting at home and watching slowly. The rhythm also seems to be very bland, but it is so beautiful. You are not allowed to skip even the title sequence, those retro photos, no matter which picture your eyes freeze on, you will always see eyes full of love and smiles.
MODERN LOVE is based on the true events of the New York Times MODERN LOVE column, 8 stories that happened in New York.. Modern love, modern love, it seems that every Chinese translation can't interpret the theme very well. It's more like a story like "I Love You, Paris", a story of love in New York.
MODERN LOVE IS MORN THAN LOVE. There are many kinds of love in the world, not limited to love, but also the warmth in the fireworks of the world. It is about accompanying growth, regretting missing, understanding and tolerance, being honest and brave, nurturing new life, and facing death.
The beginning is the story of DOORMAN, and I was attracted by this story, so I finished watching this episode almost in one breath. This is a story of guardianship, the doorman who guards the heroine like his family. He doesn't talk much, but he's humorous and knowledgeable about strange things. He just looked at her silently, guarding her and helping her. Quietly, post her most important photos where they can be seen every day. He was dissatisfied with every boyfriend she brought back until five years later when she brought back one from Los Angeles, which he said passed. He said, "I never see a man, but your eyes." Couldn't be warmer. When you love someone, your eyes will shine.
My favorite is the second story, kind of like the Love in the series trilogy, that nine-and-nine-year movie. A lost phone number, a late plane ticket, an unfinished Paris appointment. Reunited after 17 years, lingering in pubs and street benches all night, talking about dawn all night. Two people indulge in it, bathed in clichés, but not bored, because that person is you. No matter how many smart, interesting, caring people you meet later, it's not you. Love after many years is like old friends for many years. At the moment of their reunion, they became more convinced of the power of this love and how it affected their lives. They did not choose to be together again. After the male protagonist returns home, he makes a final effort for the broken marriage relationship, while the woman comes home to be frank with her husband and make the final decision to leave. A reunion after a long absence has turned into a reconciliation with the past and a reboot of the future. LOVE IS THE LIGHT. "As long as I think of you, I have lived through many moments in my life." Even if it is lost, it can still be your strength and the armor you face in the face of life's thorns. All perfect and imperfect are the pins of this love.
The last story is also very touching. Old love, OLD LOVE. He dates, travels, runs, and accompanies her, from acquaintance to acquaintance and love, doing the same things that he would do when he fell in love with a young man. Everything is the best form of love, and it seems that the future has just begun. Unfortunately, after the engagement, the old man passed away. "I thought that old age relationships are different. Everyone has gone through too many ups and downs, learn to compromise and learn to accept. If this relationship fails, you can still live as usual. But this time, I'm not so sure now." His wife's eulogy at the funeral was affectionate and warm. He's finished his life run, and she'll keep running until she meets him again.
The best part is the ending of the episode. The old lady was running in the rain, passing people one after another. All the people who appeared in the story appeared on that rainy afternoon, passing by each other on the streets of New York. A rainy day in New York ties all the little stories together. Different stories take place in the same time and space, but love is the same theme.
Everyone around us has his own story, and always has his own inner worries, you have your illness, I have mine, no one can see it, but this still does not affect us living freely in this city, pursuing the meaning of your life. Life goes on. You never know how life's story will continue. There are always such ordinary and warm moments in life to heal you, and every bit is filled with warmth.
It's all about love but it's not only about love..
