" Yes." "Will
you always find death?"
"Yes."

——"Suzhou River" I
haven't written a film review for a long time, and I haven't watched a movie for a long time until I cried and shivered.
Because I want to learn French, I have watched a lot of French movies, one every day. After listening to the name and looking at the introduction and poster, "The Long Engagement" is like another epic war drama, and I'm completely indifferent to this kind of tome. So it took a long time to watch it. The beginning of the film didn't particularly appeal to me, even a little distracted. It wasn't until the end that Matilde knew that Manek was not dead, and I was pulled back into the plot. In fact, in the previous hour or so, although I was distracted, I was still taken away by the plot of the film. I wonder what it would be like when this woman finally found her fiancé after spending so much energy. It wasn't until Matt's aunt cried and apologized that I started to cry, not knowing why, maybe I was moved by this woman's perseverance, maybe something else. As Mathilde walked in that sunny garden looking at her beloved fiancé, I couldn't stop and started shaking until he said "Would it hurt to walk?" I was in the middle of the night cry out.
I was very surprised why I had such a big reaction. Although I was alone in front of my desk late at night with no one beside me, I still felt that my appearance was very disgraceful. How can you cry like this. I suddenly remembered the dialogue at the beginning of "Suzhou River" I watched a few years ago.
Yes, those two words.
"wait"
"find"
Those two words made me cry like this.
Because these two words are too difficult to find in the love of this era. Everyone has the best choice, no matter what decision you make, no matter how painful it is when you make it, the decision you make is what you think is best for you. So in this era, our love began to have many considerations. Personality, distance, financial strength, and even family status. On this basis, we begin to describe our other half, hoping that there will be a person who meets all these criteria and loves us. But when we screen out batches of candidates like sifting stones and finally leave a person who looks good, can that still be called love?
To this day, I still stubbornly believe that love is the purest. When two people do not have any consideration or thinking, they approach each other just because they are attracted to each other.
"It's not that I don't understand, it's that the world is changing fast." I suddenly remembered this sentence. This seems to be a phrase that many so-called idealists like to say when they face reality. But has the world changed? She has not changed, only our desires have changed. Wangfu Stone, Magpie Bridge Club. These love stories about waiting may be too far from us. Why is it too far, because we can't do it. When we are faced with more and more lingering desires that fill our eyes, we have forgotten that there are some beautiful things that need to be waited for, need to wait, and need to be accompanied by loneliness.
We can't do it.
I couldn't do it, so I cried.
