you are my meandering river

The Magdalena River stretched into several tributaries in the camera. This is not a wide and calm riverbed, and the water is yellow with soil. Two water trips, the first was about Florentino, he was appointed as an inland operator, but regretted not reaching his destination, turning back, he said to his mother that he could not leave her too far, or he would Betrayed the obsession with her. The second time is about two old people. In the legend, the Dutch ship that was punished by God and therefore sailed forever, raised a plague flag with a yellow background and a black border, extending the punishment as a reward. Half a century passed by. Ships will probably head all the way north, following the river, into the Caribbean Sea. He said that after more than fifty years, several days and months later, his heart was finally complete. Every
time Florentino's inner monologue is better than his narration with her or the letter paper. He is a poet. His abundant emotions can't be fully drawn out to each other to see, and they must be cast bit by bit over the years. Even if it is a business letter, it should be full of emotion, which is a kind of deviousness. Therefore, writing letters for others is better for him to vent than to feed himself. And whether it is the hero and heroine or even the supporting role of Dr. Urno, their pains and shortcomings in their lives are no less than others, but they are only sensitive people who bear more pain and feelings than others, so they express their unparalleled emotions and Similar stretches.
Most of us, unfortunately - or lucky - can't spend half a century waiting for the completion of a gap, too much uncertainty and self-confidence, those gaps, as if for Reminding the limited existence of life, when you are numb, reminding you that you are a human being who coexists with pain during existence.
You want so much, but you are so weak, you can't get it, you are lost, so you keep this life closed. You try to complete a similar ending by taking another short path, or you explore forward, facing the vast unknown.
Are all isolated lives and the gentle confrontation of extended emotions like a meandering river, neither open nor deep enough, only at the moment of entering the sea, the moment when the light and shadow flow backwards, when you feel the openness, the sound of the burst, and then silence again, into the deep sea.

    This heroine was chosen. When she was young, she had big bags under her eyes, and when she was old, her skin looked like a baby!

    It looks ugly and can't blame the director. The original is so keen on a self-talking narrative, the plot is less important. Changing it into a movie has to abandon the original mode, which increases the difficulty.

Love in the Time of Cholera quotes

  • Florentino Ariza: [Surprising her in her house] Fermina I have waited for this opportunity for 51 years, nine months and four days. That is... how long I have loved you from the first moment I cast eyes on you un... until now.

    Fermina Urbino: Florentino Ariza... get out of here! Get out!

    Fermina Urbino: [cut to Ariza reading a letter from Fermina while we hear her words:] Florentino Ariza, you are a dreadful, insensitive human being. How dare you enter my house on the day my beloved husband died and utter such monstrous, ridiculous sentiments? You have put me in a mortal rage, which has caused me to think about you without wanting to. Do you understand? I do not want to think about you. Stay out of my life.

  • Florentino Ariza: [closing scene, in bed together, but clothed] I love you, my crowned goddess. We're going to stay like this.

    Fermina Urbino: You can't mean it.

    Florentino Ariza: From the moment I was born, I have never said anything I did not mean.

    Fermina Urbino: [exhales, almost trembling] And how long do you... you think we can... stay like this?

    Fermina Urbino: Forever.

    Fermina Urbino: Forever?

    Florentino Ariza: [cut to view of the sun-lit boat anchored in the midst of the river] After 53 years, seven months and 11 days and night, my heart was at last fulfilled. And I discovered, to my joy, that it is life and not death that has no limits.
