"Elegy": Hope so much, only make love, not love.

Falling in love at first sight because of appearance is the beginning of the most ordinary love. Men fall in love with women, mostly because of their appearance, women fall in love with men, mostly because of worship. The beginning of a clichéd love is nothing new. It began to attract me from David's jealousy. When a person begins to love, he begins to be jealous, and he begins to want to possess, to possess the other's present, and to possess the other's past and future.

Men are ridiculous. They seem to be particularly afraid of getting old and dying. It seems that when they get older, they will pay special attention to whether they can still satisfy young girls. Oh, in fact, no matter how old men are, they are still like little boys. farther.

When I got older, I stopped being obsessed with the story of Cinderella, and began to like watching things that are closer to reality in movies, watching how the director interprets the same things that happen in ordinary life.

David has sex with two women at the same time, one is love and the other is love, but for him, the other woman gains more confidence and self-esteem when he was young. The lie he told after being detected is also very similar to reality. There is a buddy with a chaotic private life who wants to use his own place to make a fool of himself. Consuela's worries are the same as in reality. The little boy has the same possessiveness and jealousy towards the new toy, and your feelings towards me are the same as that of the little boy and the new toy? Men's fear of commitment is like real life, and their escape from themselves is like David in the movie, not understanding why Consuela broke up with him just because he refused to see her family.

Saw David chatting with the girl student who was only having sex and not flirting (I don't know her name, so sad.) and they said, "Looks like we've been together for 20 years and it's not as deep as tonight. Recalling the beginning of the movie, David chatted with his old friend and asked him, "Are you really still talking to your wife now?" The old friend's answer was "Of course not". When the two are contrasted, great compassion arises in the heart. Sometimes, the separation of body and mind is not what you want. Chatting is far more luxurious than asking for a gift.

Sometimes growing up is really a very helpless thing, because you will become not even jealous, feel that it doesn't matter, nothing matters, only care about whether you live well, whether you will be very happy every day, and then don't suddenly have Dying one day, like David's poet friend.

It seems that only death and disease can derail a person to think about what he wants and wants. Well, the dramatic factor of the movie always makes people realize that life, old age, sickness and death. Elegy, which is a poem written to the deceased, it is beautiful and tactful only when tragedy is used as a backdrop. But in reality, many people are just living a dull life and want to see it.

It's a really heart-wrenching movie. Thinking of what the girl said, she believed that there is always someone in this world for you. Think about it, what a luxury, what a brave girl.

Elegy quotes

  • George O'Hearn: Beautiful women are invisible.

    David Kepesh: Invisible? What the hell does that mean? Invisible? They jump out at you. A beautiful woman, she stands out. She stands apart. You can't miss her.

    George O'Hearn: But we never actually see the person. We see the beautiful shell. We're blocked by the beauty barrier. Yeah, we're so dazzled by the outside that we never make it inside.

  • David Kepesh: I think it was Betty Davis who said old age is not for sissies. But it was Tolstoy who said the biggest surprise in a man's life is old age. Old age sneaks up on you, and the next thing you know you're asking yourself, I'm asking myself, why can't an old man act his real age? How is it possible for me to still be involved in the carnal aspects of the human comedy? Because, in my head, nothing has changed.
