What kind of love education do we need.

What kind of love education do we need First, the most traditional and the most cliché, love is the perfect half finding the other half. Early Esther and rich and handsome boys may have experienced the kind of clichéd love, where good looks are made, people converge, drive out, party with friends, boys brag about themselves and girls scream like everyone else In the same way, find a reliable husband, find a virtuous wife, and have a perfect family. Why question it? God has already told the meaning of love. What ordinary people need is to obey. Love is a beautiful fantasy and the desire of every ordinary person. Second, the most gentle and most dangerous, love is to find someone who truly understands. The love between Chu Chu and Esther is closer to what Plato said about the love of the soul. It is in the silent night, the sparks of two thoughts illuminate each other, and it is a maverick outside of kitsch and boring. It is a beautiful desire that has long been known, and the courage to take a bold step forward. If you use a very cliché, it may be that after meeting each other, other people in your life will become future, not because of those external beauty or glory, but only because of inner certainty and mutual understanding.

People who know each other have a tacit understanding, and they are evenly matched. Every confrontation between Chu Chu and Esther is full of tacit understanding of each other. Therefore, the reflection in the hot spring and the sharpness of the words are interesting, the confession of the church is cute, and the last Kisses are also reasonable. 3. The most inclusive and free and easy, love is the love that respects the one you love. Paul may be the hero of other campus idol dramas, gentle and reassuring. He likes sports, has a sunny and simple personality, he is upright in the mountains, and will teach those boys for Chu Chu, because he knows how to take care of his sister and choose clothes for Chu Chu, clear her siege on the stage, and send her home when he is drunk. At first, he was amazed by Esther's beauty, and felt that he had to work hard to pursue her, and he had to work hard to do it, in his own way. But when he found out that Chu Chu was writing a letter to himself as a fake gourmet, he fell in love with Chu Chu. Both girls are equally beautiful, with a mind as deep as the sea and a beautiful soul.

The most classic scene in the whole film probably appeared in the church. When Paul confessed to Chu Chu, he said that love is not a fake, he has been pretending, as if there is only one kind of correct love in the world, and there is not only one kind of love, he does not answer because A loved one who has another way of loving someone no longer loves her. Love here has surpassed the love between men and women in the ordinary sense, and has become a specific and sincere love with objects. Loving someone has nothing to do with looks, gender, or even whether the other person loves you or not. Paul felt love in the company of Chu Chu. , so return her with the same sincere, unconditional love.

Fourth, the most tender and most valuable, no matter who you are, I will love you.

Paul, mom wants you to know that I love you even if you're gay. But if you want to change the old lady's formula, there is no door. Maybe I don't fully understand my daughter, but I love her so much that I don't want her to change. You need to go to the university to meet people who really understand you. It is too wrong to stay here.

In the context of modern media, love is more and more narrowly confined to the theme of only love between the sexes, but there is so much beautiful love in this world. Parents’ acceptance and tolerance for their children, teachers’ appreciation and preference for students, concern and tolerance among friends, children’s understanding of their parents, wonderful interactions between family members, and even what classmates see each other because of their bright spots Friendship, too many things are love. Especially in Paul, we see his love for sausages, his concern for Chu Chu's father, and his yearning for beautiful things. What a beautiful love these are.

5. Since there is more than one kind of love, we must learn and distinguish each kind of love.

When Chu Chu and Paul parted, he ran after the train. It was a vulgar plot that she once sneered at, but she was still moved to tears. Because love is not a form, it is the truth behind it that is expressed through concrete forms, so forget about the messy classifications in front of you, write a letter to the person you love, send a short message that makes you look smart, and cook a delicious meal And share with him, watch beautiful movies together, support and fulfill his future... There are too many related things to do, whether it is conventional or not, whether it is perfunctory or not, I really will not lie.

However, no matter how hard we try, we are always separated by God, not all love will have an echo, even if you have exposed yourself, the process of learning love is still a mess. Beautiful.

P.S. A small observation, not related to the above article. Are our portrayals of same-sex love too rigid and ideal? After the previous Qu Chuxiao incident, there was a voice of reflection, that is, he should not be regarded as not an insider, and the matter could be resolved. Although there may be some rules in the circle, it does not mean that there are good people in the circle, and mistakes are outside the circle.

The same logic holds true when presenting same-sex stories. If our current works show same-sex only love that is inclusive and beautiful, it will give people the illusion that same-sex only love is more beautiful, or stigmatize it as sin and uncleanness. But just like ordinary relationships between men and women will also have quarrels, violence and dissatisfaction, there is not only one kind of love in the world, and there is no perfect love. Every relationship has its own problems. With the theme of homosexuality, this film will make it so Under the background of religion, to show the real dilemma and conceptual constraints of the protagonist makes people feel sincere and full of concern.

Maybe one day, our high school students will be able to see a completely different world of love outside of beautiful skins and natural things.
