From "Sunrise", I followed the dialogue of the two protagonists seriously and recalled the state when I started falling in love. A few words can be simply summed up as "happy chatter", various questions, answers and arguments, want to know more about the other party's mood more quickly, and more importantly, it also includes trying to understand the other party's attitude. This kind of attitude is easy to fade away slowly under the attack of time and daily chores. It is really dangerous. It is an unparalleled beauty that every question or idea can be answered or debated from the bottom of my heart. All lovers who have gone through this period should know this.
The dialogue in "Sunset" is full of misses for each other and surprises of meeting. The two quickly came to understand the status quo from the politeness after 9 years apart. Jessi is married and has a son. Celine has a hard time investing in other new relationships because of the romantic experience that night 9 years ago. The status quo later emotionally expressed anger to him about his status quo. But after all, they are still in love, and they are happy to be together for a while, so there is a scene where Celine will play "Sunrise" on the guitar. I guess Jessi should make a decision about their future at this time. Since they are so in love, any resistance in reality is not a problem.
So the two lovers in "Midnight" finally stick together. However, the beginning of the movie starts with the pain of Jessi sending his son to his ex-wife, and the beginning points out what the movie is about. Celine's ideas about life and life are no less shallow than Jessi's, but for the sake of her children and to support Jessi's writing, she has become the "reliable" person. To get off work on time, to pick up the child, to take the child to the doctor. So she stopped playing guitar, stopped writing songs, and may even have to give up her job and life in France so that Jessi could spend more time with her son. Women often need to give up more things than men in their married life to support life, but if they can't be understood and comforted in this situation, it's likely that as Celine said, I don't love you anymore. But fortunately, Jessi is also working hard for the life of the two, trying to restore the understanding between the two. Love is to slowly compromise with life, in order to let life go on.
Since both the first and the second part are wonderful parts in my opinion, and I have experienced it myself, there is not much inner touch. But when watching the third part, especially the conversation in the hotel, I seem to see the dialogue between the parents in memory, "I do everything", "You don't understand me", "You complain so much, if you complain about it." I’ve been very good at what I spend my time on” and so on, it seems that I suddenly understand that my parents are not in love with each other as I always thought, but their love was consumed by my appearance, work, life and other trivial matters to the point where I didn’t know each other. state of being seen clearly. The only thing that love in married life can do is to keep the attitude of trying to understand each other no matter how much resistance is there.
After all, we don't live in fiction, we live in reality.
