Love is a pearl in the ocean

The ending of the film is moving: Magda looks through Tomac's telescope and sees her old self, slumped on the table, crying out of love. At this time, a hand slowly and gently rested on her shoulder. The camera moved up slowly, and in the dim yellow light, it was Tomac's gentle face. That kind of tenderness made him transcend the immaturity of 19 years old, radiating a light of love. I think that director Zystov Kislovsky must be a man with a soft but firm heart to shoot such a beautiful picture.

"Love Short Film" briefly describes the fateful cycle in real life: some people, like Magda, no longer believe in true love in the ups and downs of love, and change from "injured" to "violent". Young Tomac must have been drawn to and hurt by Magda, his faith in love crumbling in despair and humiliation. The kind Zystov Kislovs makes Magda wake up by shock at the end of the film, which is often not the case in real life, lost is lost, changed has changed, from that moment on Can't go back to the beginning. We call this indifference to love "survivability."

But, who can really forget? So people keep repeating stories about finding in poems, songs, movies, dreams. Quoting An Yiru's sentence in "If life is just like the first sight": When we return to the depths of our hearts, in the blue silence, I am a merman, and I will still cry for you. Love is a pearl in the ocean.

I understand that those tears flowed out of distress for you, just as Tomac was for Magda.
