Love does not like injustice, but only the truth.

Dear parents,
by now you've all heard of my joyful news and of my sad news. To be able to finally marry Benjamin Hull, my partner of almost 40 years, in a small ceremony here in New York was one of my happiest moment of my life. Unfortunately, later I found out that I could no longer continue to teach music at St.Grace's. Most of you and everyone at school knew that I was gay and that Ben was my lifelong partner. I've always had nothing but support from all of you. So I would like to thank you and to emphasize that I understand what happened is not the fault of St.Grace's and its leadership.
Above all, I urge you to have a conversation with your children about whether or not justice was served here. The last thing I want them to take from this is they should hide who they are or what they think if they believe it will get them into trouble.
Life has its obstacles, but I learned early on that they will always be lessened if faced with honesty. I believe the world is a better place if people aren't lying. In the words of the apostle Paul to the Corinthians: "Love dose not delight in injustice, but rejoices with the truth."
Yours sincerely, George Garea.

In fact, I think this sentence is quite interesting, and the tone of the whole film is consistent, plus Chopin's piano music, you probably know What kind of person George is, and what kind of people he chooses to be with, even everything that happens after that will not be sudden, just like what might happen to people like them, it is not Kafka at all.
What the film didn't say, the details of the camera language hinted at; what the director didn't shoot, the characters summed it up casually. We seem to be just bystanders all the time, like a group of locals living a few blocks away from them, and that's how we know bits and pieces about another group of people, occasionally in detail.

In addition, I really like the color of the lens when Ben is painting, it is very natural and clean. Also very real.

Love Is Strange quotes

  • Ben: What did you think of the Wieniawski?

    George: Not bad. I thought she milked it a bit.

    Ben: You think so?

    George: Well, when the piece is that romantic, there's no need to embellish.

    Ben: Oh. I don't know. I loved it. I kept thinking about him and his beloved Isabella.

    George: Oh yeah? But that's not true. You know that whole "he composed it to convince her parents to let him marry her," it's a myth.

    Ben: I'm not like you. I prefer a little embellishment.

  • Ben: When you live with people, you know them better than you care to.
