=============================
I didn't read the original book, but I saw the movie and knew what it meant
. This story's discussion of love is very comprehensive and in-depth, which is consistent with my view of love, so I came here to talk about it.
The love between the male and female protagonists is divided into several stages.
The first
stage is the love of youth, the love of the golden wind and jade dew, Bai Juyi wrote, "The concubine makes the green plum by the short wall, and the king rides on a white horse. As soon as I see you, I am heartbroken." But love at first sight is often based on appearance. Therefore, love at first sight is also divided into low-level and high-level. "Kangxi Is Coming" will do a kind of blind selection game, first let the male guests choose the top 3 appearance, then pull the curtain, and choose the top 3 according to the dialogue. Some male guests can really choose the right one. Good love at first sight is knowing what you are and what you want. When you see each other, you can already judge each other's personality and interests based on posture, decoration, expression, and behavior, instead of seeing every pure goddess like DS. It all felt like love at first sight. Good love at first sight is not a popular one, but a "fate in life".
second stage
The first time Ariza saw Fermina, I was indifferent, and there are too many such things in the movie. For example, the first meeting of the double M in my old favorite natural born killer. The level of the relationship between the two depends on the future development. The key point of progress is that Fermina replied and said to her girlfriend, "Ariza is the most perfect man." From my life experience, the decision-making power and hidden initiative in love are actually in the hands of women. . If Fermina expresses her love, then this is a model of love (if the heroine doesn't reply, what will happen to the hero? I don't know, then this story is gone, and it's not what Márquez wants to discuss. Lover's personal recommendation "Tell her") At this stage, the two talk to their heart's content and never stop. . . eternal. . . everlasting. . . It was half passion, and half the three views of the two were similar at the time. People around the age of 20 are probably in a pre-modern state. Aesthetics, values, and outlooks on life are mixed and undifferentiated. Judging things is based on intuition and smell (Marquez emphasized Fermina's sense of smell). At that time, people were not yet socialized, stratified, and civilized. There were no boxes in their minds. They were straight and beautiful, but they were still. . . What do you say, there are so many blind and variable ingredients, and it's far from the answer. It makes people want to stand on their elbows and wait to see if you two can really resist real life pots and pans... You two are going to toothpaste Are they squeezed from the bottom or the middle...
Third.
The less firm side of the relationship, Fermina got married, that is, separated from the pre-modern era. She was half forced and half tentative to enter a stable marriage with a doctor and accept the shaping of a civilized society. It's as if she didn't eat eggplant originally, but after being nurtured by material and status for a long time, she happily eats eggplant in a different way. It would be boring if it was a simple dualism of love and matter. Of course she loves the doctor, and the doctor loves her too, but their marital love does stay at the level of a social molecule. The doctor said that what is more important than happiness in marriage is stability and stability. For the doctor, this love has no more meaning than providing him with a stable family support. Of course, Fermina still believes that the most important thing in marriage is love, which transcends material families and social forms. There are so many women. But for her, there is no better way to get this than a doctor. The love the doctor gave her was much more than that of ordinary people. What ordinary people could not give her, she also got it, and she was unwilling to give up.
On the other hand, the male protagonist begins to discuss spirit and flesh. It's not that there is no upper and lower body among him, so if he only loved Fermina from the first moment he saw her - this is untrue, and Marquez would not write such unrealistic things .
Therefore, in this love, both parties fully accepted the reality and accepted the differentiation of social reality on the inner self.
However, due to various coincidences or secrets, this differentiation has not completely broken the inner self, so when they enter the old age, they can start to integrate their own aesthetics, outlook on life, and values.
This is not a middle-aged story in which subjective initiative overcomes objective reality, but a sense of mission obtained when a person perceives all his innate talents and acquired environment, and integrates information collected subjectively, that is, Ariza Said my destiny is to love fermina.
Fourth
, finally, the two entered a post-modern state, reintegrated their three views, and found that the two sides are still matched internally and can communicate in spirit. Fermina looks back and reviews her marriage and has some revelations. She is honest to herself, she admits that she has accepted and paid her love to the doctor, and will not build a memorial archway by claiming to be disgusted with material things. Therefore, the two old people in their twilight years, when they no longer need to be subject to social customs, strata, circleism, etc., returned to the starting point and carried out the sublimation of the last paragraph of love.
Ariza said that what flows is the time of the material world, but the time in a person's heart is unchanging and eternal. But Fermina said I liked what you wrote and it gave me peace, but didn't quite agree. Our youth is a mirage. I think, this Lushan Misty Rain Zhejiang tide... It is more like the Buddhist saying that in the end, the mountain is still the mountain, and the water is still the water. The seeds are the original seeds, but the flowers and fruits that bear, the wind, the rain, the sun, and the sun should all be credited.
Fifth, and the last one
, I can't write it anymore...
I don't want to talk about makeup, facelifts, and men who are cheap and can't get it, and rich old women PK young girls. These are clearly not the focus of Marquez.
The point of Márquez is that in the end the two reached an agreement that love transcends time and realizes the fantasy goals of youth: forever...everlasting...eternal....
Such love touches the essence of life, and is related to life. together. People live forever, at this time, they know that they are not alone. Because of the existence of this person, you know that although you are dead, it is only the body that dies. The meaning of death is not death, but perpetuation. . . This is the ultimate meaning of love.
(Well, I admit that this sentence is not very logical, but people who know it will understand it, right)
(Well, I have to read the original book when I have a chance...)
