more than friends

More than just friends.
When the old Judy said this to the still young Cate, the overflowing sadness could be felt across the screen.
Yes, I want more than friends, so I indulge her willfulness, tolerate her deviance, but also make myself deeper and deeper. Give and receive quietly switch positions.
I am most afraid of this kind of relationship, wearing the cloak of friendship, coercing you to do more and ask for more. This kind of greed is not only between the same sex, but also the opposite sex. Perhaps this kind of request, as the husband in Cate's film said, is the desire for a young body. It's just that most people suppressed it, and Cate did.
The flavor is that it scares you, it makes you reflect, and it makes you know, well, something like this really happened.
Then, the wild goose was silent, Cate returned to the family, Judy was in the world, and continued to look for the next young girl. It may not be the best ending, but it is the truest ending.

    Richard Hart: My condolences! Poor, poor, pussy! Now can I have my wife back, please?

  • Barbara Covett: People languish for years with partners who are clearly from another planet. We want so much to believe that we've found our other. It takes courage to recognise the real as opposed to the convenient.
