Waiting for love, waiting for the future, waiting for miracles, waiting for the so-called fate to come, it is like trying to grasp a straw full of possibilities in the unknown, and all aspirations will be fulfilled from now on. We wait in the corridors of time, but we get disillusioned answers time and time again. You think that there will always be light at the end of the tunnel, but you don't expect it to be a bottomless abyss, because you find that yesterday is the same as the day before yesterday, today is the same as yesterday, and tomorrow is still in this static cycle. When you meet love at the corner, you only say half of the things. The germination of love is accidental and inadvertent, but you may not meet the so-called corner at all.
Compared with men, women are more in a waiting position in relationships, and "passive" has become the label of women in this game. Waiting gives people unlimited fantasies, but the years will eventually wear down this expectation. However, if you have never owned it, there is no point in losing it. Just like the old sisters Janet and Ursula in the movie, one husband died on the front line when they were young, and the other was an old lady who never married. The two lived in a quiet and beautiful corner of Cornwall, and all they waited for was the ticking of time.
Everything changed with the drowning boy Andrea they rescued. He was asleep on the bed, his smooth and white skin was like the petals of a daffodil flower, and suddenly Ursula had an inexplicable emotion. Said to be girly love at first sight, she was still in love with the person she was waiting for 40 years ago. The most tricky thing about fate is the time difference. What you have been waiting for doesn't appear, but it finally arrives, but it becomes a secret that can't be told. She tried her best to restrain her affection, but her behavior couldn't hide her desire and helplessness. Ursula will put a tender flower on his plate, she will paste words in every part of the room in order to teach him English, and finally point to the "Ursula" on his chest to let the boy write down his name, she will because A little bit of majesty from my sister, I felt embarrassed and angry in front of him. So ridiculous, so naive, so stubborn, yet so straight to the bottom of my heart. There are very few actresses who can still look as sharp and eager as Judi Dench in their seventies. Who can say that such incredible emotions have never happened to us. Because thoughts can be controlled, but emotions cannot. Loving someone is like a pouring torrent. No matter the dam of time or distance, it cannot stop its violent impact. But in reality, she was in her twilight years and could only be happy with him with the young phantom in her dream.
The urgency of the younger sister is in stark contrast with the calmness of the elder sister. Janet is as calm and calm as Maggie Smith's previous roles. She has understood her sister's feelings for the boy from the beginning, but she has never broken her small thoughts. Sometimes the person you like shows up as some kind of reward for years of waiting. She understands that if unrequited love can bring people some false sense of happiness, it is also good, and the ending of meddling will definitely hurt both sides. Even herself, with her sister, were immersed in the joyful energy of youth.
The confrontation between the two grandmothers can't help but make people smile, and Andrea, who is in the middle, is still a simple boy who has little things to do. The two old men gave him a second life and became the only "relatives" left after his amnesia. He would go out into the field to pick two flowers for his sisters, and he would gently rest his head on Ursula's lap after a walk on the beach. For him, the two old men were a warm support in a different place, and he would never guess. Ursula's hidden secret, only to comfort her by saying "sorry". And the children will eventually grow up and leave them, even if his violin talent is not discovered, even if he can't recover the slightest memory, because he still has the American dream when he looks at the Atlantic Ocean. The appearance of the female painter Olga is the catalyst for Andrea's departure. Her arrival is an intrusion in the eyes of the two old people, and the previously stable three-person relationship has become unstable. Women are sensitive by nature, and Olga has long been Smelling the old man's unease, only the boy waited ignorantly for the arrangement of fate.
Andrea's departure was sudden, and there was no time to say goodbye to the old man. Everyone knows Ursula's loss. At this time, it seems that he can only feel the breath of his existence by curling up on the bed he had been lying on. The most helpless thing is that you used to yearn for it persistently, and now you still want to grab it without hesitation, even if it is not destined to belong to you.
By the time they learned about him, he was already a rising star in the music scene. On the day of his concert, the old man invited young and old from the village to his home to listen to the radio, while Ursula and Janet came to London to enjoy his performance. With the melodious sound of the piano, it is a section of flying memories.
At the end of the performance, the sisters came and congratulated Andrea. He was overjoyed to greet them, but he was surrounded by others without saying a word. This time, it was Ursula who resolutely said "Let's go".
He can no longer return to their world, just as the setting sun only sends Pingbo far away.
That gleaming figure can only be flashed in the memories that were once agitated and melancholy.
