Fifty-one years, nine months and four days~

A Spaniard in a movie directed by an Englishman based on a book written by a Colombian! This sentence is awkward to read, folks. Deal with it, because after watching the movie, I can only write this kind of sentence.

The book "Love in the Time of Cholera" can be called an encyclopedia of "love". All kinds of love may be covered in this book, and the most troublesome one is the scene that spans fifty-one in the movie. Years of love await!
I remember a goddamn saying that - when we're young, we don't know love! I can use 10,000 examples to prove this jerk. But I think the male protagonist of this film, Florentino, prefers to act in person. He spends fifty-one years, nine months and four days waiting for the love of his youth to bloom again. There is nothing cooler than this~
Well, I'm not bad I suspect that Fermina has never loved Florentino, but her love is too fragile, it only takes a little time to get rid of it~
In fact, I don't want to accuse Fermina, but she really doesn't deserve Florentino's love, even if she waits five Ten years, or even a hundred years, she is not worthy. What blinded her eyes and soul, I don't want to know, but what I want to know is why she finally accepted this love brazenly? Loneliness / loss / aging / or loneliness with few days? Especially when Florentino smiled and said "I've never been so happy in my life" on the boat, I just wanted to swipe the hair of the dead old woman who was still motionless on the sofa. A man has sealed the love for you for half a century, will you only put on that kind of rotten expression~
After fifty-one years of waiting, a man can be decadent, cheer up, and record women to pass the time, and occasionally show his sincerity, but , These are just used to wait for the bridges other than love, the real passion and longing are hidden in time, only the devil knows. Then when our silly old man finally waited for the death of his rival, he ran to his lover, regardless of etiquette and identity, with tears in his eyes just to say the love words he said fifty-one years ago -
my oath Loyalty is the same, my love for you will last forever.
Well, I admit that at this moment I can finally let go. It doesn't matter who he loves, it doesn't matter whether his love has responded or not over the years, the important thing is that he can proudly unpack the fifty-year-old love, There is still time to try to make this stupid woman fall in love with him again, and you can still shyly say, "I will always be a child for you!"
Well ~ who shamelessly expresses doubts about the weight of this sentence Well, don't doubt it. This is the most thrilling confession between lovers. The first time was reserved for love, and Florentino did it. With his pure heart that loves this woman, it has remained for fifty-one years, nine months and four days, like a red rose still fresh and full of dew! Who else shamelessly expressed doubts? . . . .

PS - This movie is the work of British director Mike Newell last year. I have seen three movies directed by him. In comparison, I think this is the best one he has directed so far. But it is still incomparable with the original work. Forget it, I admit that this is also impossible. Who can photograph the soul and essence of that old guy's work? When I was reading "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and other works of the old guy, I thought: When can I see the movie version, it would be crazy, but it's a pity~ Thinking about it now, it's really stupid to say!
Javier Bardem is a member of my "personal roster of favorite actors". His acting skills take my breath away every time. I'll say this anyway, his tangled face is either never an actor or he's destined to be a great actor. Obviously, he is getting closer to the latter now.


I would like to pay tribute to the master García Márquez with this article!

    Golden Raspberry owes at least three trophies to this movie. Personally, don't take it seriously.

    Wasting a good book and makeup is terrible.

Love in the Time of Cholera quotes

  • Ricardo Lighthouse: Why are you so successful with women?

    Florentino Ariza: Um... because they see in me someone... guilty. In need of love. Someone who will not harm them. Hmmph. My heart has more rooms than a whore house, Ricardo.

    Ricardo Lighthouse: What number are you on now?

    Florentino Ariza: Prepare yourself for a shock. I'm on number 622.

    Ricardo Lighthouse: Impossible.

    Florentino Ariza: I speak the truth - 622.

  • Florentino Ariza: [Surprising her in her house] Fermina I have waited for this opportunity for 51 years, nine months and four days. That is... how long I have loved you from the first moment I cast eyes on you un... until now.

    Fermina Urbino: Florentino Ariza... get out of here! Get out!

    Fermina Urbino: [cut to Ariza reading a letter from Fermina while we hear her words:] Florentino Ariza, you are a dreadful, insensitive human being. How dare you enter my house on the day my beloved husband died and utter such monstrous, ridiculous sentiments? You have put me in a mortal rage, which has caused me to think about you without wanting to. Do you understand? I do not want to think about you. Stay out of my life.
