Does the only true love really exist?

The rhythm of the film is very slow, there is not much dialogue, and many scenes with dialogue are basically only Kate, more of which is to express the psychological activities of the characters. I feel that Charlotte Rampling alone supported the whole film. After reading it again, I can't quite understand it. What does Kate mean by that part of the cruise ship, is it just to express her painful feelings? Did Geoff suddenly realize that what matters to him is his wife now, not his ex-girlfriend 40 or 50 years ago, who changed his attitude and decided not to go to Switzerland?
They say who doesn't have a past yet, why hold onto each other's past? It's easy to say, but it's really hard to do. Who doesn't want to be the other's only true love, but isn't there only one true love in a person's life? The news of the ex-girlfriend who suddenly broke into life, which woman can take it calmly and calmly, in fact, Kate has achieved a level that many people can't do, but Geoff's attitude makes Kate feel chilled, and step by step Doubt if he really loves not himself. When Geoff heard the news that the body of his ex-girlfriend had been found, he seemed to panic, his temperament changed drastically, and the gathering of old colleagues who had been looking forward to it was meaningless. , climbed to the attic in the middle of the night to see pictures of his ex-girlfriend, and more than once, Kate asked him if his ex-girlfriend hadn't died if they would have been married and said yes without hesitation. To be honest, I really don't know what Geoff is thinking. Who is his favorite? Or both? Can a person have two favorites? I don't know
that Kate is really a good woman. She lives a very delicate life. Seeing the flowers and plants in her house, the house is kept clean and tidy. She takes care of Geoff so carefully. Angry, she is a rational person, but even so, she is a woman after all, and the person she has loved all her life is not necessarily her own. She couldn't take it anymore, so she slapped her hand hard after dancing. came back.
The 45-year relationship and the 45-year marriage were disrupted by this letter. Will their future life be the same as before? I find it difficult, for Kate, this is already a knot.

    Since we are talking about the 45th wedding anniversary, the story is not necessarily too petty. The director clearly has too little experience and thinks too much. Two stars for the film, plus one star for the heroine, the image of such a "zuo" old woman is very well played

    The undercurrent is surging, the sword is hidden in the cotton, the great performance of Rampling and Courtenay: the marriage of forty-five years is stripped to the ground in six days, when the whole film seems to be moving towards reconciliation and tolerance When the last shot exploded in an instant, it was cruel.
