Yi Shu borrowed the words of Xi Bao and said: If you want a lot of love, if you don't have it, you need a lot of money. In fact, it is not easy to get one of these two.
The day before the start of this semester, I spent a day watching HBO's new drama White Lotus Resort. I don't know if it's the character setting or the actors themselves. In short, the focus is on Rachel played by D'Addario and her husband Sean. When I was a child, I was disappointed because the hero and heroine in any story I read did not get together. When I grew up, I realized that compared with black and white, the world is more common with ambiguity, even meaningless right and wrong. When Rachel appeared at the airport in the last episode, my heart fell from the clouds to the bottom of the valley, and I was even a little disappointed. The development of the story made me unacceptable, because the good feelings for Rachel accumulated in the previous monologues also dissipated in an instant.
Today, after calming down for a month, it suddenly occurred to me that Rachel was right, she was too ideal and asked the heroine to do an unusual move that would hardly occur in real life. She just, like most people, chose easy between easy and wanting. For a beautiful female editor who works in a third-rate magazine with an unnamed career that has a high probability of not getting any better in her life, what is a more perfect destination than marrying a super rich second generation on the Upper East Side? What's more, the male protagonist is neither fat nor bald, tall and handsome.
Does Rachel love Sean? When making choices after the honeymoon, it must be not love. Did she love him? I guess it depends on how you define love. For a long time I thought the throbbing of a calcium carbide spark could be called love, not even a two-way street. Love is a momentary feeling that has nothing to do with the length of time. But don't think so now. Love is affirmation, sympathy, compassion and cherishing. No act is a more serious affirmation than the firm love of a person. And time can make people confirm love, distinguish whether it is fleeting or certain. There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people, from my point of view, Rachel never loved Sean, she just loved the feeling, the dream of going around the city with him was like a fantasy, it was all The joy of the doors opened was the vanity of realizing that everyone thought she was so lucky, not Sean at all. The Rachel in me understands this. Although choosing to be a trophy wife for an incompetent mother and treasure boy will definitely make her lose her original hopes and fantasies about love, but love is inherently unstable, isn't it? It may be really hard to say which one is happier between the love that feels right but may deteriorate at any time and the love that never fits but can benefit infinitely. So even though I don't agree, I can understand.
Even though I believe that people change, I am convinced that feelings are fatal. If White Lotus has a follow-up, Rachel Sean's emotional destination must fail. And all the gifts given by fate have a high probability that the price has already been secretly marked. I think many people look back after their whole life and may understand what is most precious when choosing a partner, but just because they want too much and life is too time-limited, many times they can only make mistakes.
