Love. can not

The first time I saw this movie was on an international flight. There is a small screen in front of the seat, and I flipped through a lot of movies and chose this one by Uma Thurman. At first, he was absent-minded, drinking and eating; later, he slowly entered the play.

The story is flat and straightforward, and it feels like boiled water, but there are small humorous twists from time to time that make people unable to put it down. Originally a Hollywood cliché story, it was played out in an interesting way, not too touching, but it has always attracted me.

A somewhat desperate woman and a most unlikely man.

In fact, the story itself is relatively cliché, but Uma Thurman's good acting skills vividly portray the protagonist's inner pursuit of love, passion, contradiction and complex mood. A frown, a smile, a look and a movement are simple and subtle. There is no common love story, but it is also warm and romantic, revealing a little sweetness; there is no heart-piercing parting, but there are unbearable regrets and pains in life...

A pair of people who can't have results. I know I can't love anymore. Read some other people's writing, discuss what love is. What is love. Too difficult problem, no solution. Maybe this kind of love in the film is a poisonous wine, knowing that you can't drink it; knowing you can't but still staying together. Both have also tried. When the two went through different twists and turns, when Dave found that he loved Raffe too much to leave her, he chose to stay and give her what she wanted, a family and a BABY; Raffe knew that this was not what he wanted, for him, his heart Broken also give up. She was under him, happy and painful to hear what he wanted to give her, and it was enough for her to hear him say these words.

In the final scene of the story, a year later, Dave meets Raffe in a tavern. night. The world outside was snowing, and warm lights poured through the doors of the tavern. Dave stood outside the door and looked at Raffe in the house with infinite affection in his eyes. She looked back, the two looked at each other for two seconds, then raised her eyebrows slightly, and the smile spread out at the corners of her mouth~ a knowing smile. Dave turns around, stands for a few seconds, and leaves. The music sounded: I wish you love... Tears fell from the corners of my eyes, I thought this lighthearted comedy was also so sad and moving.

years of life.

chance encounter. in love. In the end, they became each other's life passers-by.


Love the lyrics of this last song:

I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss
But more than this
I wish you love
And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
And more than wealth
I wish you love

My breaking heart and I agree
So with my best, my very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all
When snowflakes fall
I wish you love
