Mustangs also need to die quietly

Many people must have encountered such a magical moment: for no reason, suddenly the world stretched a huge stretch, and everything around seemed quiet and transparent, as clear as the first breath of air after a summer rain. There are very few movies that can do that, and the ending of Prague Love is one, and I think Thomas is surrounded by that quiet bliss in the last shot.

The story goes something like this, Dr. Thomas is handsome, he never lacks women, and he never spends the night at a woman's house. Often cheating on his wife's back after marriage is crap, but he's Thomas "Doctor", "Handsome", "Crazy", so, well, he's a legendary wild horse. The innocent little white rabbit Teresa fell in love with the wild horse, and she was a stubborn and active little white rabbit. She went to Prague alone to find Thomas, who had only one relationship, and really "breaks" into his life, and then inexplicably They got married. Of course, it is not surprising that Thomas is derailed. The Mustang is still a freedom-loving grassland. It's just that the wild horses are running happily, and at some point, an endless fence will quietly appear on the other side of the horizon. When their marriage was in jeopardy, the Prague Spring arrived.

The Cold War is not worth remembering, but it does not deny that he has some special grand, cold and charming temperament. The civilized world has split into two largest groups in human history because of ideological differences. They are fighting each other, threatening and fearing each other. There is no war, but undercurrents are surging. For example, Mr. McCarthy, who was portrayed by our party as a master of white terror, is actually right. The red elements have really penetrated into the upper echelons of the United States. No one can easily stay out of it, this is the so-called torrent of the big era.
Thomas and Teresa went into exile and then returned to Prague, and Thomas, who did not cooperate with the party state, went from being a Don Juan doctor to a Don Juan cleaner. You can't do whatever you want, you can only float around with the torrent. A huge concrete column barbed wire appeared in front of the Mustang.
Wild horses can't run all the time, and he's probably tired at this time, and it's time to stop and think.
When I write here, I think of Egales' "Desperado", Thomas is the outlaw.
"Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasing you
Can hurt you somehow
......
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late"
and he probably knew what he wanted.

Go back to the end of the movie: Thomas and the Teresa was driving home from a country dance after attending a country dance. Teresa leaned over and kissed and asked, "Thomas, what are you thinking about?"
Thomas replied slowly and calmly, "I was thinking about how happy I am. . ”, the rain was still falling, the wipers were shaking slowly, the forest path spread quietly and slowly, and the camera slowly became blank...
Both people died in the subsequent car accident, and the wild horse was finally quiet.

about this ending, it seems that Teacher Hu Lean wrote this sentence: "I would like to die
forever on the road with an uncertain future and in your heart. "
