With love, you can't wait forever

Even though I'm not yet 20 years old, I often realize that I may be leftover women. The word "leftover girl" is the most direct reason for me to watch this film.
What shocked me the most was not about Zoe and Stan, but the fact that Zoe's grandma and Arthur were engaged for 22 years! For 22 years, they have always been married to each other. I really admire Arthur's super endurance. He turned the last years of his life into a long and unknown wait. Fortunately, at the age of 93, he finally realized the most beautiful dream in his later years.
Is there such a person who is willing to wait for me until I finally nod and smile...
Grandma finally agreed to Arthur's 22-year marriage proposal because of the happiness of Zoe and Stan. It turns out that love also needs to inject some motivation. However, when she told the good news to her granddaughter, the granddaughter told her grandmother that she had broken up. "You can't escape" Grandma's bitterness at this time reminded me of the 22 years she escaped. Not believing in love, not believing in eternity, not believing that a person's true heart will remain unchanged, even if she has been cared for, cared for, and loved all the time, grandma all chose to ignore and escape. When it is time to realize it, it is also the time when the story should have a perfect ending. It turns out that the strength you have always pretended to be can't match the desire for love...
"...You don't always reject others," "You will never have lasting feelings in this way" "You have to trust others" This is what grandma told her granddaughter Zoe's, also told himself. It is because of personal experience that I am so enlightened, and because I have been injured, I can see love so clearly.
However, Arthur's waiting is just the plot of the movie, and the plot of the movie is somewhat true and false. Don't believe that boys in reality will wait for you to wait until your hair turns white and your teeth fall out, but you must believe that there is true love in the world, but the time is still unknown.
Remember: when there is love, there is no need to wait.
