A deformed love story within the normal range

There is a fact that love, lust, and conjugal affection are usually not experienced by one person. But the male protagonist is a special case. This person who lacks love with rich emotions has also tasted the richness of emotions. In a way, this is a kind of fulfillment.

Regarding the passionate love between the hero and the heroine through letters, a line appears many times in the film: it is just an illusion. In a word - marriage lies in stability, lust is empty, and love is an illusion.

Putting aside the poor art part, I like the story itself. Although when you see 3/4, you know everything you see is deja vu. When she was young, she fell in love at first sight, but her parents prevented them from staying together; the heroine married someone else, but the hero was heartbroken and indulged; the heroine lived happily with her doctor husband, although she didn't know if it was love in the end; There have been stories of old and young women and children, but only because of emptiness... When the heroine's husband dies, you start to feel incredible. You've seen perseverance, but never so. What kind of hallucination and possessiveness it was that lasted more than fifty years. And when love is overflowing, there are only letters and a handful of encounters.


This film is a cover party, a line party, and a sensational party. Encyclopedia of Emotions.

Love in the Time of Cholera quotes

  • Florentino Ariza: Please allow me to wipe the slate clean. Age has no reality except in the physical world. The essence of a human being is resistant to the passage of time. Our inner lives are eternal, which is to say that our spirits remain as youthful and vigorous as when we were in full bloom. Think of love as a state of grace, not the means to anything, but the alpha and omega. An end in itself.

  • Fermina Urbino: The only thing that hurts me is that I don't have enough strength to give you the beating that you deserve for being so insolent and evil-minded. But you will leave this house right now and I swear to you on my mother's grave that you will not set foot in it again as long as I live. Life crippled that poor man 50 years ago, because he was too young and now you want to do it because we are too old.
