Glimpses in countless loves

The unbearable lightness of life, the love of Prague. Finally saw this movie. Melodious violin, beautiful body. The soul is heavy, but the body is light. I do not know how many times indulged in his deep eyes, only her childish face is in his slender arms, while the woman under him is constantly changing.
There is a kind of person who is born with desire, so he has such charming eyes. It was his luck that he fell in love with her, but not her. She made his soul heavy for the first time, and it should be a blessing to have a soul that loves someone.
Prague in the movie is surprisingly consistent with my imagination, squares, narrow alleys between tall buildings, various ambiguous gray tones, and socialist simplicity. I just didn't expect Thomas to be so charming. He should be a man with a mediocre appearance. Except for him, Sabina and Teresa in the movie are very close to the image of the novel. So that it seems that the novel is originally a movie, as if I have seen it once and revisited it again. Of course, the reading experience that novels give us is incomparable.
I admire the director of the film very much, giving him a thick book for three hours to restore the style and essence of the book so meticulously.
His snow-white hand held hers, and the two had golden rings on their fingers. How pure their two bodies are, entangled with each other and stabbed fiercely. She was weak, but full of his weight, he needed her.
People and people, sex and love. Maybe the movie adds a kind of human and city emotion. Prague is not Teresa's hometown, it's just where Thomas lives and works. All the special meaning of Prague to them is only their love, the fullest and most fragrant moments, the most passionate and shy moments are in Prague, and the quietest life also exists in Prague. Prague is a moment for them, an instant, a beautiful moment. The union of the soul and the body, it is impossible to tell which one is more important, and it is no longer important to be slutty or introverted. This also seems to be the romance of the Prague turmoil of that era.
And when they leave Prague for Switzerland, they feel lost in each other, and even Sabina is lost in her own passion for betrayal.
The part where they were in the country was always my favorite. Whether it's a movie or a novel. The cinematography is almost exactly the same as in the book. Their unromantic death was filmed so romantically. She was constantly spinning the dance steps, and he looked at her intently with deep eyes, as if they were in the love in Prague, until the two were drunk and walked to the door of the small hotel room, it must be another cloud and rain , and this was their last time.
And in the end have they reached the Prague in their hearts?
There used to be love, and there were clouds and rains for love. Suffering is enough, love is enough.
