Jim used to have an airy moustache, but when he reunited with Jules and Catherine after the war, the moustache was gone, and that's when we realized his eyes were actually melancholy.
We were told from the start that Jim was a seasoned, suave French gentleman with an impeccable beard and hat, in stark contrast to the soft Jules. We must not underestimate the beard, men are always melancholy in nature, and the beard hides this melancholy, makes the source of melancholy - women bewildered, and makes men think they are clear.
The first time Jim was alone with Catherine, helping her pack, she was extremely beautiful, but so dignified, even dignified, wasn't it to match Jim's gentlemanly beard? But when Jim shaved off his beard and came to be reunited with his old man, he found Catherine dancing, dazzlingly.
When a man strips his last disguise to reveal his melancholy essence, he inevitably falls in love with a woman's dancing essence.
The light butterfly fluttered tirelessly, and the gloomy stream sang her reflection day and night.
There are more and more wounds, but people are getting lighter and lighter. Catherine~ her beauty is like a hurricane that blurs the figures of men, and they are more and more similar. The substantial difference between Jim and Jules in the end is not only the former but also the former. Connected to the world beyond hurricanes? In this slalom dance, the competition is not who has better dancing skills, but whose footsteps are lighter and more unrestrained.
But this is a world where men establish their ethical order, and when a woman unfolds her essence and induces a man to abandon his beard, then she and he become sinners. Sin arises from the violation of ethics, which, by its origin, is not prescriptive.
Sin and pain are not prevented from echoing between men and women as beauty. This echo is eternal, but we often only dare to taste a little bit of it.
We can condemn Catherine for being immoral, but don't forget to touch your beard first.
