I heard about this book a long time ago, and I borrowed the original book. After flipping through the beginning, I found that reading the original text was too tiring. Let’s watch the movie first and talk about my feelings.
The selection of the actors is not very suitable. The female lead looks like a young girl when she is older, and looks like a young woman when she is a girl, which means she looks the most suitable when she is a young woman. It can be seen that it is not so easy to challenge people with a large age span. It's self-defeating, it's better to find a different actor. The male lead found two actors, but the second one was too old, how did he suddenly change from a teenager to a middle-aged man.
I don't know if the romance novels written by male writers have a first love plot. In my opinion, the male protagonist in the film is an extreme first love plot. After the first heartbeat, confusion, and shattering in an instant, he chose to stay, he chose to be obsessed, just to wait. If it wasn't for a very accidental opportunity, he was pulled into the cabin by a strange woman on the boat and was %¥#, I am afraid he would have kept his virginity until he was in his seventies, but this experience opened his carnal lust, It made him trapped in it and couldn't extricate himself, but mentally he was still chasing the shadow of that first love and waiting hard.
A male friend once told me that a man only loves once, and after one love, the later one is nothing--like the popsicles I ate on a hot day when I was a child, not necessarily the current ice cream is not as delicious as the old one, but the kind of happy ice cream. Feeling, can't be repeated -- maybe most men in real life choose to move forward and find the next relationship -- maybe the later relationship is not as crazy as the previous one -- the future is just a memory. , and novels are novels, the male protagonist does not take the usual path, he cannot find the next normal relationship, his first erotic experience is abnormal, he can only relieve the pain of his first love through that kind of stimulation, if that The woman who gave him the dove can give him a normal relationship, and maybe he can get relief, but she is a married woman, and a jealous husband ends them forever.
The heroine is undoubtedly a happy woman and she has a wonderful husband - even though their marriage was a mundane one, they were the right match, his husband was smart and thoughtful, and of course they had all the problems of a mundane marriage , a difficult mother-in-law, a momentary remorse for her choice, her husband's derailment, but they have been together for 50 years - how long has their lover waited, and how long has their marriage gone? ----And the children and grandchildren are full, and the family is rich. This is already the reality of happiness, and you can't expect too much.
If most romance novels are the obscenity of female writers, then this movie, in my opinion, is more like the first love complex of male writers. When the male protagonist abandons his young lover and lets her go back crying, he ignores him. Everything has to go back to the first love, even if the body of the first love is completely out of shape; what he gets is the satisfaction in his heart, like something he didn't get by thinking about it day and night when he was young. At the end of his life, he was compensated. .
