About love and death. Euthanasia.

At first I thought: The old lady died of old age, and the old man left flowers by her side. This is the reaction at the beginning.
Later, the old lady didn't want to drink water, and the old man said: Do you want to die? The old lady was obviously so willing. At this time, I thought: Will the topic of euthanasia be introduced? It's a hot topic after all. The issue of euthanasia is really a painful choice between lovers. Like , if I can leave quietly, why not? I can't act, I can't speak, I only have pain.
Unexpectedly, the old man suffocated her to death. Seeing this, I think it's finally a climax. Some people say: This old man is irresponsible, he doesn't want to work anymore, what love?
If you don't want to take care of it anymore, you can send it to a nursing home. In fact, the old man is not responsible. After all, it would be troublesome to send it to a nursing home, and you don’t care if you send it away, so why don’t you have to go and see it? Not to mention the pressure in my heart, and the so-called "commitment".
The old lady has always been in pain. It is impossible to pretend to kill herself in order to deceive the old man. Otherwise, why did she make a promise not to go to the hospital and nursing home in the first place? After people leave, they are liberated for themselves and others.
I think in the end, the old man should have committed suicide. If it was filmed, it would be a bit tacky.
Are you right or wrong when you say you suffocate her? Of course it's not right, it's a crime. So I said that in the end the old man should have committed suicide. There's no way a movie like this doesn't mention euthanasia. Is it humane or inhumane? Maybe the director wanted to allude to euthanasia. Euthanasia should not be allowed in France.
I suffocate you in the end, and I'm sure I'll jump off the stairs too. It's because of love and because we're all getting old. If you and I are both middle-aged, I don't think I will jump, and I have to live, our children are still in college. Love is not such a simple thing. The existence and controversy of euthanasia, there are too many factors interfere...
Let’s talk about the shots, the long, fixed shots from start to finish make the sound stand out, and there’s almost no soundtrack except for the piano in the middle. Wanted to put people to sleep, but really had a good tone. After watching it, I even liked this kind of footage a little bit. I watched it in the middle of the night, and my mind was calm.

Amour quotes

  • Anne: What would you say if no one came to your funeral?

    Georges: Nothing, presumably.

  • Georges: [telling a childhood memory] ... some banal romance or other about a nobleman and a lower middle-class girl who couldn't have each other and who then, out of sheer magnanimity, decide to renounce their love - in fact, I don't quite remember it any more. In any case, afterwards I was thoroughly distraught, and it took me a bit of time to calm down. In the courtyard of the house where grandma lived, there was a young guy at the window who asked me where I'd been. He was a couple of years older than me, a braggart who really impressed me. "To the movies," I said, because I was proud that my grandma had given me the money to go all alone to the cinema. "What did you see?" I started to tell him the story of the movie, and as I did, all the emotion came back. I didn't want to cry in front of the boy, but it was impossible; there I was, crying out loud in the courtyard, and I told him the whole drama to the bitter end.

    Anne: So? How did he react?

    Georges: No idea. He probably found it amusing. I don't remember. I don't remember the film either. But I remember the feeling. That I was ashamed of crying, but that telling him the story made all my feelings and tears come back, almost more powerfully than when I was actually watching the film, and that I just couldn't stop.
