Perhaps, everyone has such an elegy in their hearts, for life, for work, for emotion, and for one's life. Years pass our youth, but also our hope.
This is a very meaningful male movie. Marriage, love, confusion, loneliness, and very complex emotions are interspersed in it. Perhaps it is really like what the hero David said: only when he is having sex can he forget all his troubles. Sex is just a medium. Through this medium, we can temporarily forget all the negative emotions that marriage, love, and time have given us. At the same time, it also deepens the ultimate loneliness in our hearts, the fear of the future, and the helplessness of the years. We cannot escape what nature and society do to us.
What are we looking for in our life? This is a conversation between David and his friend. I think neither David nor his friends understand what they ultimately need. This is too heavy a proposition. What are we after? Career, money, love, family? Those who are unhappy in life will always be eight or nine out of ten. The old David yearns for love, but is afraid of marriage; he loves Consula, but he can't face the possibility of losing her in the future; he likes to feel the beauty of sex with Consula, but he has to accept that the years have affected his body. Abrasive Facts. The love between David and Consula is more than 30 years old. Perhaps it is better than the monthly meeting of Caroline, the student lover that has been maintained for more than 20 years, which makes David more sure of his position. Maybe David is more confident, maybe beautiful women can see more clearly, maybe we don't have to wait for the years to rob us of our youth and passion, and we don't have to wait until we are fully enlightened before embracing each other. There are no possibilities in this world, only facts.
"I finally understand that, over the years, I have lived to hear these words." Love is always unpredictable, and I deeply felt through the screen David's phone message to Consula after 2 years of separation of fear and powerlessness. Love is always selfish. Even a lover who has been separated for 2 years is still afraid of receiving the marriage news of the other party; As long as there is love, I stubbornly believe that even a blessing is a blessing full of pain and regret. But what David received was not the marriage news, but the bad news of Consula's breast cancer. The ending of the movie made me shudder.
Consula: I will miss you.
David: I'm right here.
Can only life, old age, sickness and death shorten the distance between lovers who might otherwise be unacceptable, or does inner weakness and fragility make it easier for people to accept those helpless loves? No matter what, I always tell myself in my heart: The real world is not perfect, we make it beautiful. It's like David and Consula's inner confession at that moment.
Love is a beautiful thing, love has always been what we pursue, love has always hurt us, and love has always satisfied us. Elegy, because of missing, because of years, because of loneliness, because of life, we have been unable to escape. Just have hope, along with the dirge, there will be a loving ending.
