love is a wound love is a healing

On the afternoon of Saturday in August, I was looking at the computer in the air-conditioned room. My dear Wanwan was sleeping on the bed on the left, and my dear Pupu was sleeping on the floor on the right. Although the rumbling sound of the old Gree window machine was enough to cover up all the small noises, I could still clearly hear Wan Wan's balanced snoring and the small snoring one after another.

It was extremely hot outside the window, and the orange building across the street was baked to a pulp white. I chose the French movie "I've Always Loved You". Her pale and calm expression in the poster made me curious about this drama. Who has been in love with whom? Why did this mother kill her 6-year-old son, and what happened 15 years later?

Looking at it, white tissues were piled up on the desk. This is actually a very simple story, which can be explained in no more than 20 words; but the emotions, the turbulent emotions, are overwhelming in the 2-hour film; the actors, the inscrutable actors, Make this life so realistic that no label description is needed.

I seemed to see the huge skin and fleshy wound in Juliet's heart. It gurgled scarlet blood, like a ferocious gap in the ground, swallowing the mother in one bite. This kind of huge wound makes people suffocate, and at the same time makes people yearn to struggle, as if giving birth to him is a kind of fatal love, and killing him is also a kind of positive love, not despair. 15 years in prison is nothing compared to that.

Love is a huge wound that warms and numbs all other grinds.

But sister Leah and her life accepted Juliet, who was released from prison. Coffee, swimming, parties; children, men, the elderly; caution, questioning, understanding; these emotional details are intertwined and woven into a real life web, and every inch and every eye is full of vitality. Leah used her love to approach her sister, her wounds, and the truth. This tolerance and patience, it is love that makes them unparalleled.

Love is the only bridging, it is gentle, caulking the pain it left behind.

While whirling, I occasionally took a look at Wan Wan who was sleeping, and naturally thought, if I were Juliet, would I want to and have the courage to be like her. Just a little imagination makes people shudder and dare not go deeper. At the same time, I remember the woman who played Juliet, Kristin Scott Thomas. This truly noble indifference and strength, quiet and serene deep love and tenderness, is definitely not Angelina Jolie ) can be compared.

"British soil gives her reason and self-sufficiency, French air nourishes her romantic passion, two very different temperaments can coexist peacefully, but are always tit for tat, and the spark they collide is Christine Scott Thomas The most irresistible attraction."

  • P'tit Lys: The prince went slowly through the forest. His beautiful horse was silent. The sky was taking on the color of roses. "Will I be in time?" the prince wondered. He remembered what the magician had told him. "Night is your only enemy. Once it has cast its cloak of darkness over the world and you cannot tell the shadow of a dog from that of a wolf, you will know it is too late and that your beautiful lady is lost forever. Hurry if you love her." The prince's heart was pounding.
