We can give love but we can't force it

Because yesterday, Little Monkey talked about this movie that used to be my favorite... I

remember when it was released that year, I was in the third year of junior high school, and it was also my birthday on February 10. I went to the cinema with some friends from junior high school to watch "Harry Wave". "Special and the Philosopher's Stone", looking at Julia's big mouth poster after watching the movie.
Because of the scarred heart last year, I threatened to never watch "My Best Friend's Wedding" again. On this one-year anniversary, I couldn't help but take out the "archived" unsubtitled version of the original sound and read it again. Watching it and crying again still gives birth to all kinds of different emotions.



I was still in tears when Michael put Juliet's finger in his mouth and pulled it out with the wedding ring in his mouth. I still

love George so much, how would he fit Juliet if he wasn't gay...

-George, believe me, if he was feeling what I'm feeling, then he would know how I feel. It's horrible.

-Just tell him you love him. Tell him you've loved him for nine years but you were afraid of love. Tell him you were afraid of love, afraid of needing.

—Needing what?

—To belong to someone,we all are ,sweetheart. In

the past, you always said that I was like Juliet, alert and sentimental but never willing to believe in love, even behind every short-lived relationship there will be deliberate Hide your inner truth. Every time I watch a play with this kind of "self-mapping", I can't help but have the illusion of "preconceived ideas".

In fact, it is easy to "set" oneself to a certain role when watching a movie. Assuming you are a man, you may only see "How to coordinate the relationship between girlfriends and female friends..." when watching this movie. If you are a woman, you may be thinking from the beginning to the end "how to win your husband, get rid of the influence of 'ex' on him or the threat to your love." Another example is me ~ very similar to Julie's psychological character, will While watching, I thought, why is "I" so pitiful, and in the end I can only say goodbye to true love... It is this "preconceived" position that prevents us from using an open mind to gain more feelings. Maybe this kind of movie watching is wrongly distorted?

So today, I try to put myself under each character very objectively, without bringing my own character into the role of Juliet, I try to maintain a neutral attitude and look at everyone in the play objectively. Elevate myself from mere observation to an understanding of real life and human nature...I think if I was still that Juliet, when I escaped my heart countless times, I suddenly found that the emotion I missed before was so real, would I not? Do you want to fight for love for yourself? Love "to win" even if it's not kind; I wonder if I could be as kind and sincere as she is, and say such sensible and powerful words to a "former rival" - " You're always in his mind , this perfect creature he loved for years. The answer was so simple I was gonna predict that .You win. He's got you on a pedestal, but me in his arms."; I also imagine if I Is it Michael? When a man faces the promise of marriage, can he overcome the influence of his "ex" on his deep 9-year relationship, can he forgive all misunderstandings, can he overcome jealousy, and can he accept the irresistible "temptation"? Clear your heart and firm up what you love. Can you use the phrase "to be flattered" to preserve the dignity of friendship. . .

Looking at it this way, I feel that I am no longer just that poor Juliet. I feel that no matter what kind of emotional temptation people face, "truth" is the most important thing. Be tolerant to others and be sincere to yourself, even if "passed by", there is no need to regret.

After watching it, I thought of what the little monkey said last night~ "It's just a movie and it's just like that in that movie"

and I just wanted to post a sentence:

"We can give love, but we can't force love. Understand?"
