In the dead of night, it is actually not suitable for watching movies with small sentiments. People are easily confused at night when the shadows are eroded, and the calmness under the sun in the daytime is gone, and it is inevitable to throw away the thinking and fluctuate with the plot. But I love watching those slow shots when there is no sound, listening to the murmurs, my eyes following the protagonist's footsteps through a broken part of the city, noticing the flowers and flowers on the walls that I would not have noticed. The setting sun behind the mountain. Looking at it like this, my heart calmed down, and I unconsciously smiled and read the story, even those quarrels, debates and ridicules, because of the intelligent and witty expressions of the hero and heroine, became less tiresome.
Turning back to the first part, there are actually a lot of foreshadowings. For example, the quarrel between the middle-aged husband and wife next door when they met. Without their quarrel, it would be difficult for the male protagonist to find a topic to chat with the female protagonist, and their lives after 18 years will inevitably have disputes, even if they were initially unable to imagine this. For example, the heroine recounted some of her character and habits, which can be reflected in the later interactions. She always tolerates others and hurts herself, tolerates her husband, takes care of her daughter, and sacrifices herself; She couldn't take it all calmly, so she was always struggling.
But what impresses me the most is that the encounter is beautiful, and the reunion is a surprise, but many people, including myself, will doubt whether the daily triviality will dilute the love after living together. But their story proves otherwise. Yes, both of them have shortcomings. Women are hysterical, sensitive, sharp, and have too many tangled thoughts. Men are erratic and occasionally cheat, naive, arrogant, and a little indecisive. However, they can always see the best in each other. Women are cute, sexy and intelligent, and men are knowledgeable and considerate. They not only appreciate each other's genius in the sun, but also tolerate each other's madness in the shadows. This kind of fit can only be said to be obtained by accident, and it is difficult to cultivate it deliberately. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to say something like fate.
I went to Vienna this year, and the reason for going is really because of this movie. Vienna is quite beautiful in the director's lens, the small details and elegance in the city are beyond me as a tourist in a hurry. If you have the chance, want to go for a walk, look for the fountain and the chapel, see the park where they drank, the bar where they pretend to call each other, as if standing in their story.
I think in this world, encounters do not necessarily have an ending, and separation does not necessarily mean that they do not meet by chance. The trivial process of the beginning of romance can still have a meaningful ending. Falling in love isn't about being in love with each other, it's more interesting to meet opponents. This is the dream of many people who are unwilling to be lonely. They hope to meet an interesting, delicate and tolerant person who can see through their disguise, but can still gently tolerate their own angularity and willfulness. Some people can be met but not asked for; some people are just to meet. Youth is absurd and I don't let you down. It is no longer entangled in the ending.
"I remember the person I fell in love with at the beginning. You vaguely look like him."
