Late at night, Leonard walked to the bridge and jumped into the bone-chilling water. Another lover left him, making him desperate, and he wanted to end his life. However, the instinct to survive brought him to the surface again. With the help of passers-by, he was rescued and staggered away without saying a word of thanks, leaving only a surprised crowd.
He returned home wet. A man in his thirties lived with his parents. It could be seen that the family was not wealthy. It was an ordinary family, and the whole family was supported by a dry cleaner. He had almost no communication with his parents and spoke very little.
My father invited a friend's family to come to the house for a party. This party was actually a blind date. His friend's daughter SANDRA is interested in him, and their family is also in the dry cleaning business, and the scale is very large. The parents of both parties also want to merge, which is especially cost-effective for the Leonard family. The business expands and the future life can be upgraded. . Leonard was noncommittal, and in a half push, he acquiesced in his relationship with SANDRA.
By chance, he met Michelle, a beautiful girl upstairs. Compared with SANDRA, she was young, sexy and lively, and he was madly in love with her. He was very disappointed when he first learned that she had a boyfriend. But later found out that Michelle's boyfriend was a married man, and Michelle revealed to him that she wanted to break up, he felt that there was an opportunity. While maintaining a vague relationship with SANDRA, he went out with Michelle on various occasions. At this time, we found that Leonard was not so dull and boring. He was high-spirited when he told jokes and charming on the dance floor. Shooting in all directions, becoming the focus of the audience, it was Michelle who inspired his various advantages.
But when he confessed to Michelle, Michelle said that he just regarded him as a good friend, and the man said that he would divorce his wife. Leonard was extremely disappointed, so he made up his mind to get along well with SANDRA. He often used his expertise to take party photos for SANDRA's family. Gradually, Michelle moved away from his sight. In SANDRA's family life, though he is still dull and mechanical.
However, a phone call from Michelle made his calm heart boil again. When Michelle told him that that man would never get divorced and that she had completely ended with him, Leonard impulsively expressed his love again. He said that he could make Michelle happy for the rest of her life. You can go far away and completely abandon everything in the past. So while he and his prospective father-in-law were condescending, and promised his family to stay at home for a dinner similar to the engagement of the two parties, he secretly went to the mall to buy a marriage proposal ring, and booked a double flight ticket, waiting for that moment in the evening Propose to Michelle and go away with her.
The house was full of people, full of festive atmosphere, and no one noticed his departure. The informed mother chased after the stairs, her eyes were puzzled and sad, but he was excited, he said, "Mom, I am very happy now.
At the meeting place downstairs, Michelle's face slowly reflected in the corridor, she told him that the man had divorced for her, and she couldn't go with Leonard. "You are a good man!" she said. In fact, this sentence completely defeated him. I think Leonard should have heard it many times, and this should be what his previous girlfriend said when they broke up. Good people, but why can good people never get their own happiness.
He came to the sea and threw the ring in his hand to the sea. He wanted to end his life again. But the ring happened to reappear in front of him. He surrendered to fate, put away the ring, returned home, faced SADRA, and put the ring on her hand. SADRA's extremely happy face makes people feel that this scene is even more sad. She will never know what happened behind the ring.
The story ends here, but I think this is just the beginning. Getting married is just the end of a stage. Michelle left Leonard's life, but in his future life, LILLY, ANGELA, ISSABELLA will appear... just like the end of a fairy tale, the princess and the prince Since then, I have lived a happy life, is that true? Prince Charles and Princess Diana proved 'fairy tales are all lies' Those a lot of warm love movies are just opium used to suppress pain. After taking a few sips, the pain is relieved. After the medicine is over, the pain still spreads endlessly.
Starring Joaquin Phoenix, in the film, he is restless, his eyes are erratic, and he is at a loss, because this character is humble, never feels safe, lacks courage, lacks both the courage to live and the courage to die. It's doomed, he can only stay like this for the rest of his life.
In 1979, there was a Soviet film called "Forever Marathon". It was about a middle-aged university professor who was recognized as a good gentleman, but he always hated his current situation and wanted to be his true self. Finally one day. The conflict broke out, he wanted to maintain it with all his might, but it failed in the end, he thought about it, it’s okay, he relaxed completely, let’s say goodbye to the past days, and he will be a free and free self in the future, but just when he is celebrating for himself , the wife came back, the lover called to ask for forgiveness, and the classmate still begged him for help. . . He was stunned, it turned out that he could not escape from his own track after all.
This movie is more realistic and more convincing, what kind of character is destined for what kind of fate. Fate is like a knight holding the reins firmly, and we are the horse under his crotch. Occasionally, he makes a small deviation and makes you believe in the horse for a while, but immediately puts you back on the original path.

    It's so sad, don't always let men act as victims, OK? It's often men who cheat. Don’t blame women for being changeable. I didn’t love you so much. Wasn’t it out of loneliness?
