"Love is Compromise" / "Something's Gotta Give" Nancy Myers, USA December 12, 2003

"I'm in love, I finally got a taste of the short-lived love song."
"Now you understand, you want Protect yourself."
"No, do you really believe in your theory? Don't you really think you can prevent emotional damage forever?"
"It's worth a try!"
"Listen to me, you can't live forever Avoiding love, because you can't avoid it, even if you will be hurt by it, but avoiding is not the right attitude to life."
"Is your experience normal?"
"I let someone knock on his heart and taste the taste of love. "
...I have never tasted the taste of love."
"Then what are you waiting for?"
In this conversation, a mother and daughter are equally delicate and sensitive, but they choose to approach life in a different way. Because I don't want to be hurt, I deliberately protect my daughter and choose a mother who feels the truth with her delicate and sensitive feelings. This is the warmest scene in the whole film, telling us how to face love directly through the mouth of our mother.
Love is sometimes an accident, unexpected by our standards, our persistence and even our habits.
Old Jack, who only dates girls under 30, meets a 53-year-old playwright, and an accident happens.
Well, we tried to treat it as an accident and tried to go back to the original world, only to find that everything has changed.
Is it to compromise on this accident, or stick to our habits and repeat the original trajectory of life?
I guess my choice is to stick to my standards. But it turned out to be a missed opportunity because of this.
Should it be so?
Old Jack fell in love for the first time at the age of 63. Some were overwhelmed, some resisted, but finally chose to compromise.
I think the opportunity to love should not only come only at the age of 63.
Just this year, he experienced a heart attack and experienced his own aging.
Life has undergone great changes. It turns out that he is not only old, but also old. Old Jack said "old" over and over again, and even bystanders felt sad.
Perhaps this is the source of compromise?
I think this way, maybe it stems from the uncertainty in my heart, not sure that there is really such a thing as love, which can make one person compromise because of another. Always have something for yourself.
Is this the so-called avoidance, out of the instinct of fear of being hurt?
If so, it's really sad. I have always considered myself brave enough.
