Don't say anything for a thousand years, but I believe that Leia looked up and saw the scene of Shelly smoking a cigarette by the door of the garden. At that moment, it must be the moment when all the emotions gathered and erupted, sobering from the indulgent love, and the whole body was covered. Every cell clearly recognizes the beauty of a lover, incomparable, as perfect as a non-existent god. At this time, it is no longer a simple halo effect, but a heartbreaking awakening, knowing this It was a bubble that was about to burst in the next second, but he was attracted to him at this moment.

It's not just the youthful, mysterious aura of Shirley drawn to,

He was even more attracted by this ignorant girl-like heartbeat.

Do the right thing at the wrong time, with the wrong person.

Torn dream.

To Leia, Shelly was, to put it bluntly, a redemption-like dream lover, a sort of lingering youthful aura that would allow her to love regardless of indulgence.

I always feel that when Leia calls out that name, Oh, Chéri.

There is joy, helplessness, pampering, and pleading in the long tail. A woman who has been in love for a long time, arrogant, and tired, like a high-rise building egg, she catches the last bit of sincere throbbing in her heart.

The most profound romance of the film is to push the seemingly pure love to the edge of various contradictions, the human nature and social background are intertwined, and the symphony that is gradually entering its climax ends abruptly, empty and lost.

The episode "The wedding" begins with a gentle and charming feeling of revisiting an old dream. Later, the atmosphere turned sharply. the most beloved.

Ironically, The Wedding is not Leia and Shelley's Wedding, but Shelley's own wedding.

This sudden turn made me feel like Leia was desperately running down the street, searching.

It was such a quiet street with turbulent currents, and the street lights went off early, leaving only the moonlight looming over this poor earthly woman. She was disheveled, her delicate hairstyle was messed up, her high-grade silk nightgown was stained with mud splashes under her feet, and her bare feet, which used to be as delicate and smooth as porcelain, were now filthy and scaly wounded.

She ran faster and faster, passing through the dark intersections and dark alleys, she didn't know what she was looking for, maybe it was Xie Li who was hugging softly at the moment, maybe she and Xie Li were already broken Six years of this indecent love.

The rhythm in the back became lighter again, as if the scene could be changed to Shelly's lively wedding, but he was still not very happy, sitting slumped and watching the guests marry for this false benefit, falsely. celebrating.

I watched "Shelly" many times without crying, but later I found the episode that happened to sound at night, and I cried so much that I couldn't help myself.

It's a beautiful, elegant, romantic, sweet, delicate tragedy.

It's like a piece of amazingly beautiful porcelain, and in the end you realize that it's actually broken long ago, and the beauty is just the appearance of sticking.

But even the mutilation is so beautiful.

Chéri quotes

  • [last lines]

    Narrator: He was unable to suppress a sense that he had been able to escape from something. That he was a free man again. A feeling he eventually came to realize was entirely misguided. It was many years before he understood that both of them had been quite unjustly punished. Léa for being born so many years before him, and Chéri for having failed to grasp that Léa was the only woman he would ever be able to love. And once he was settled in his mind that this was the case, he took out his old service revolver, and put a bullet in his brain.

  • Lea de Lonval: You came back here and you found an old woman. Yes, you found an old woman. Don't cry. Why are you crying? I'm so grateful to you. Were you really in love with me? Did you really think I was such a good person? If I had been a truly good person, I'd have made a man of you instead of thinking of nothing but your pleasure and my happiness. I wouldn't have kept you all to myself. Look at me. You're right. The qualities you lack, I expect it is my fault. But 30 years of easy living does make you very vulnerable. So no, I never did talk to you about the future. Forgive me. I loved you as if we were going to die the same day. I carried you in my heart for such a long time. I forgot you were going to have to carry your own burdens. A young wife. Perhaps even a child. And so you're going to suffer. You're going to miss me. And you're going to have to try to find enough wisdom and tolerance not to cause suffering to others. The thing is, now you've had a taste of youth. It's never satisfying, but you'll always want to go back for more. You must go. I love you. But it's too late. So get dressed. And go away now.
