The person who appears in the dream should go to see him when he wakes up. Life is that simple.
——"Lovers in the New Bridge"
Perhaps, simplicity is the most beautiful and happiest. Love in literary films often breaks through the worldly vision, material ties, and even trivial matters, so simple that the hero and heroine seem to exist only for love. But life is different. We have to eat, dress, work, and work hard to make money to buy a house to get rid of the dwelling... In life, we are not only men and women in love, but also men and women with countless identities and desires in social coordinates. Love seems to be just a need rather than a necessity, an embellishment rather than the essence of life. In the face of love, we always think too much and do too little. Too much cowardice, too little courage. The world is too much, the ideal is not enough. Too much material, too little spirit. So, caress, compares, researches, and contests all come. Therefore, when everyone sees a series of beautiful romantic literary films, they all envy the pure love in the literary films.
The love of literary films, is it simple? It seems not.
A frustrated woman who is about to become blind and abandoned by her lover, a destitute man who has nothing but wants to love and dare to love. Both of them have inner emotions like waves.
A wealthy female painter, a street vagabond, will there be joy and happiness?
Yes, it seems to be more than ordinary people, and it is purer and more precious.
The two were sleeping together in the new bridge. The homeless saw the colonel's daughter Michelle on the bridge of the rough sleeping. A piece of drawing paper floated out of her portfolio, with his head on it. He saw it, he stopped the woman, and fell in love with her.
The sparkling fireworks of the new bridge, the sparkling Seine, the dancing in the fireworks, the passionate fire show, the exciting and romantic surfing of the Seine, the aimless shooting of the night sky while sitting on the statue, the seaside looking at the horizon, the New Bridge at Christmas A date in the snow...
everything is outrageously beautiful. This is the romance and purity of two wanderers.
However, this kind of love is also crazy and deadly.
Because Michelle didn't come back overnight, alex frantically searched for him and became an alcoholic. Because he was worried that M would meet the boyfriend of his first love, he was obstructed in every possible way. In order to stay together forever, he deliberately put the deceived money on the bridge to induce the blind M to put the money away. Encountered in the river; and because he was afraid that M would leave himself when his eyes regained his sight, he burned the underground passage and all the missing posters stored in the car, and finally lost his life by mistake and was jailed. After M leaves, he shoots his own fingers in desperation, and Alex hugs M and falls into the river on Christmas night Newbridge date because he refuses to spend the night with him...
I love you so no Let you be happy alone.
Love is broad, but love is selfish.
There is no doubt that alex's love is sincere, paranoid and selfish. For him, love is possession, being with you forever and ever. He can't bear the days without M. For this reason, he even hopes that M will be completely blind, so that he can always be by her side, take care of her, take care of her, and act as her pet dog, guide dog for the blind.
And M still has the self-sufficiency, beauty and self-esteem of a rich lady in her bones. Therefore, they are in love, but she will not easily commit to him. She was in love, but after hearing hope that her eyes would return, she left Alex without turning back and wrote:
alex, I never loved you, forget me. At this moment, she is rational and cruel.
Yes, I have love, but I want more of myself. I have not been humble enough to give up myself for love, and feel wronged that I have only been in the dark all my life, only by one person's side. To this extent, M is awake, egoistic. Selfish? It seems not. It seems a little bit. No one stipulates that love must lose self-sacrifice. Everyone has the right to pursue a better life. The reason why she was so frustrated was only because she was abandoned by her lover and her eyes were nearly blind. Now that the former has become a reality, and my heart has been resolved, the latter can still be changed, and of course I cannot give up hope.
No one likes to spend their whole life in the dark, even with someone who loves them that much.
Poor alex, his heart was broken after seeing it, he could only mutter in despair: "No one...can save me...to forget".
M makes him feel that he is also a human being, a living person who can love and have love. At the moment when he feels in love with M, his life is like fireworks, suddenly leaping from dead silence, dazzling... And when M ran away, he took all this away, leaving the desolate and dead silence after the fireworks bloomed, the desolate and dead silence that made people desperate.
He couldn't forgive her. I love him, why would you abandon him again? Moreover, once she left, she couldn't come back. After all, she is a rich lady, and he is just a homeless person with nothing.
He could never keep her. Alex is very clear. That's why he tried so hard to stop M from leaving.
"I love you so let go", "To love someone is to set her free", such selfless declarations of love do not hold true here in Alex. His efforts to retain, his crazy actions, will make M feel indebted. And who said: The best way to love someone forever is to owe him. Alex understands. His efforts to retain and his crazy actions made his love heavy for M. When alex hugged M and both fell into the Seine, she knew that this heavy weight would be on her all her life.
Besides, she still loves him!
So, when they learned that they were on a ship bound for the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, M's eyes lit up, showing a sly and innocent smile like a child, looking at Alex and saying, "We are also going to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean." At this time, they all laughed...
So, there is, the wealthy girl M gave up everything after she regained her sight and eloped to the other side of the Atlantic with Alex, a homeless man...
The two were close to each other on the bow of the boat sailing to the other side against the wind and waves. Embracing - The Titanic copied this scene.
"We're going to the Atlantic and let Paris rot behind us!"
Romantic, right? Beautiful, right?
The prince and princess lived happily ever after...
But what happened after that? In the secular world, we always have to ask a question relentlessly.
Is life only about love? Purely romantic love?
In the film, when M Fuming visited Alex in prison, he made an affectionate confession: "It was a dream that brought me here. The person I dreamed of in my dream, I went to see him when I woke up. Life is so simple. Love wakes me up. ..."
Simple? How about seeing you? It is not impossible to see.
Yes, love in life is not as romantic as the movie, and it is far less crazy than the movie. That's why we love romance films, especially literary films of pure love. In real life, who would care about a homeless living on a bridge? Who would dare to fall in love with a blind and frustrated woman living on the street? In reality, we are just ordinary men and women, with no prominent family, no tragic stories, and even less of a sensitive and paranoid but crazy romantic, desperate and obsessed with love, we seem to be like this, plain I live forever, I don’t expect to be thrilling, I don’t yearn for unforgettable, I don’t even look forward to forever, I just live like this, I’m in love, I don’t feel good or bad. Life goes on, more complicated than a movie, yet simpler than a movie. This is our real life, real love.
However, it is such a real reality that makes us moved and weeping in such literary and artistic films.
