"Do you want him to leave?" "No, but..." But he will leave one day.

The peaceful life without too many waves was interrupted by the arrival of a stranger.

Common plot of movies. The most important thing is what this stranger brought.

This time, it's love and energy. And in particular, this is a one-way love limited by age.

Ursula fell in love with Andrea at first sight. There was probably a fate between them. After all, it was she who discovered him, found him in time, saved him, and took care of him.

She is like a young girl who is in love, her eyes are full of sparkling love, intoxicated by his frown and smile, secretly collecting his hair, every trace of his dependence and tenderness is a gift from God to her.

What a similar feeling.

Many years ago, when I had a crush on a boy, I read his every look countless times, and turned countless times for his every frown. When someone told me that he liked the gift I gave, he jumped up from his seat happily. When the thousand paper cranes that I folded for the first time were hanging in his bedroom, I felt that the flowers all over the world were blooming, and then I found out that it was When someone helped him hang it up and he pulled it off again, it was like the deepest hell. Even accidentally got a very rare two yuan RMB, I want to keep it for him and give it to him. Of course, it wasn't sent out. In short, all the things that I think are precious and beautiful, I want to pour into him.

Ursula is just like countless women who are pure-hearted and who have just been provoked.

But what did she love him for?

Pretty brows? Dripping talent? How cute are you when you learn English?

I'm afraid that if she really loves him, she can't say why.

Just like when we were in junior high and high school, didn't we love boys with clean taste and temperament? The fingers are slender, the body is tall, and the smile is green and pollution-free.

At that time, where would they care about each other's values ​​and spiritual fit?

At the end of the day, Ursula was just as attracted to us as we were back then. It's just, a girl's feelings, that's all.

Judging from Ursula's repeated questions about her sister Janet and her deceased husband Peter's feelings, Ursula should have never tasted love. That's why she was so careful and cherished so much.

Unfortunately, this time the attraction was not at the right time.

She was grey-haired, but he was in high spirits. Not to mention that Andrea's talent has to show up, and young women will always show up. How can a young heart be confined to white hair and wrinkles?

In the end, Andrea followed the witch without saying goodbye, so impolite, even if he hesitated, he still left. The witch said indifferently: "Just write to them when the time comes." Yes, his future and love are on the ship bound for London. The old ladies have the grace of saving and taking care of them, but these are just a piece of paper. Letters should be able to make up for it.

When I saw this, I was a little angry. Calling that woman a witch also didn't like her like the sisters did. Haha, I felt a little bit of a substitute. Whether the witch's actions were deliberately difficult to determine. But the story needs this plot to give an end.

The letter from Andrea apologised and informed him of his concert on Friday night. But he didn't send tickets to the sisters, he just said it would be good to listen to it on the radio.

And the best shot of the whole film is that among so many well-dressed listeners who are moved by Andrea's music, it takes a while to see the two clasped hands and slowly reveal the owner of the hands.

The two old ladies, who were not so delicate compared to the people around them, walked nervously towards Andrea, who had lived together with their backs to them after the performance, and was greeted by him, but after a short meeting, they looked at him. Towards more luxury. The dignity in Ursula's heart made her choose to leave. So, there are two lonely backs left in the camera...

The passion of the young and beautiful self and the loved one in the midnight dream, as well as his hair, have all become the past.

The question left at the end of the first film review of the film: So, what should you do when the person you love really shows up 50 years late?

Sigh a passerby in a hurry, and move on with life.

There is this scene in the middle of the film:

Ursula asked Janet, "Do you want him to leave?"
Janet said, "No, but..."

I think what she was going to say was: But he will leave one day.

Some people in life are destined to be just passersby.
