What gone is gone

From yesterday's ex to today's conversations with women, one is a reunion with the ex, and the other is a chance encounter with an ex, with a completely different ending, but this film may be more real. If you want to choose between romance and reality, it is obvious that a 40-year-old woman chooses the latter, so the ending of the film leaves melancholy or more emotions.
In other words, at my age, I should prefer my ex. After all, Italian movies, just like France, exude a romantic atmosphere that requires death. People are gone, but love can be regained. I don't know if it's the programmer's thinking. It's a lot more rational, which makes me always feel too romantic. Therefore, compared to my predecessor, I am more moved by this film.
Movies always like to make men very naive and women very realistic. Men are always indulging in the temperature of the past, and women are more aware of the truth that people are old and yellow, so H (the heroine) will say that we are of different ages. Thinking of the "Sleepless Last Night" I watched, K and C, the old lovers, are also more restrained by girls, while boys are still romantic. Although women are said to be equal to men, can they really be equal? I do not think so. Don't girls want to be romantic all the time? I think, so H will say before A (male protagonist) leaves, you are still so romantic. Romance needs young capital, but time has taught everyone that in addition to romance, there is also responsibility. The reason why women have more fetters than men may come from family. After all, it takes a lot of courage to let go of everything and fly away. A has not established a family, so he feels that as long as I love you, can you not leave? Of course, in addition to enjoying one more kiss, H can only run back to the room to pack up and leave.
I like this kind of dialogue between former lovers. It’s been a long time. In fact, I can remember everything at the first moment of looking at each other. Occasionally, I make fun of all kinds of life now, and even create the illusion that they don’t know each other. But the tacit understanding many years ago will always come back to a topic, I still like you.
So I found all kinds of excuses to get along with each other more, found all kinds of tacit understandings, and at least hugged the feelings that I had escaped for a long time. But after a short period of passion, especially after I was more certain that the emotion had not cooled down, A said something, and I felt even more desperate. A's confession on the rooftop said that when you have passed 40 and your husband no longer likes your cuteness and fun, it is still me who can accompany you to old age, we can blah blah blah, so emotional, so H said , I am really happy, knowing that I am loved by a man like this, even if times have changed, I still feel lucky.
In the end, before H was leaving to take a shower, A said, "I love you, take this sentence with you." H said, I just took a shower and didn't hear anything. The cold water splashed, and the little hope in A's heart was completely extinguished.
In the end, the two got into different taxis, with the same confused eyes, what gone is gone, the moment of reunion feels wonderful, but the moment of farewell, when you finally realize that emotion and reality are two endings, When I finally understand that nothing can change the status quo, the feeling of loneliness and loneliness will only be more bone-breaking.
In fact, after watching a lot of these kinds of films, my personal feeling is that if the relationship cannot be forgotten after a long time, then choose to escape. This movie makes me feel so sad.
I like the real feeling brought by this film, H's rationality, A's romance, it's flat, but it feels real, it's really good~ I guess it will be very different after watching it after many years.

    The title should be changed to "Conversations with Past Love". The director is very attentive, and the storytelling method of shredding the cocoon is eye-catching.

    What are you doing when I'm not here? Getting old in boredom.

Conversations with Other Women quotes

  • Man: Do you dance?

    Woman: Um, you know what, I find much less occasion for it these days. Um, I used to dance quite often, before I, well, turned twenty-five, but, um, you know it was a club or party or something. But now, now that I'm, well, older than twenty-five, I just find less occasion for it. I just, I guess the dancing phase of my life is over. I'm afraid my skills have atrophied.

    Man: Yeah, maybe I should have been a little bit more clear. Um, I meant, would you dance with me?

    Woman: Yeah yeah, I knew what you meant, I was just stalling.

  • Man: I know how old you are, you know.

    Woman: I know.

    Man: Then why do you always hesitate when you say your age?

    Woman: I don't. Because it's getting to be a surprisingly large number. And I don't like how it sounds. When I say it, it sounds like a lie.

    Man: I'm the same age as you.

    Woman: Oh, please, I shouldn't even have to tell you that it's different for men.

    Man: You call more attention to it when you don't say it bluntly.

    Woman: Mm, good advice. I'll remember that.
