A thousand years at a glance

Take it to the town building, so-called a thousand years

Life is short, we should live now. That's exactly what I've been trying to do. Sometimes I might have expected from the beginning that the ending might end, but regret it instead of missing it (after all, I know I will regret it) rather live in the present

I really can't pick out the attributes of the heroine. She is elegant, beautiful, generous, sincere, and high-quality. I appreciate Lea's attitude towards life, love, and herself. She works hard to take care of herself. She knows how to let it go, she just got to the heat and when Cheri came back she was overwhelmed like a teenage girl (oh no, she's a teenage girl actually) After a little rest, she returned to her graceful posture and then she realized that she was no longer young She can't be so reckless anymore I saw her panic flashed by, she was afraid, she was surprised, but she was also very mature, she respected his choice, she gave up the struggle, she knew it was all in vain, she used the gesture of a mature woman choose the most suitable way

so

Back to Cheri, after all, she is too young too simple Does he really love her? Is it love derived from lack of maternal love or true love between men and women? There's no doubt that he's really moved. I don't know. I saw that he was very conflicted. When he couldn't find Lea, he was crazy. He was injured like a child. He even bears the pain of the rest of his life, but if he doesn't care, if he doesn't love, how can he come back? He's really contradictory

Does he love her? Maybe he finally understood when the bullet passed through and took away the last breath.

She is smart.

Love has no age. It is rare to meet a true love. I have watched so many love movies. I only hope that when faced with a choice, under the premise of true love and worthiness, I can be reckless, don't keep silent, and don't be the person who does nothing

Even if it's not a happy ending, at least you really worked hard for it. Who knows if tomorrow will be the end of the world. Maybe tomorrow a cannonball can make you die. Maybe today is the last night. You really don't know when life will start with you. A big joke to send you to heaven and then drag you to hell

What's happier than being around someone you love?

After all, life is hard enough.

Chéri quotes

  • [last lines]

    Narrator: He was unable to suppress a sense that he had been able to escape from something. That he was a free man again. A feeling he eventually came to realize was entirely misguided. It was many years before he understood that both of them had been quite unjustly punished. Léa for being born so many years before him, and Chéri for having failed to grasp that Léa was the only woman he would ever be able to love. And once he was settled in his mind that this was the case, he took out his old service revolver, and put a bullet in his brain.

  • Lea de Lonval: You came back here and you found an old woman. Yes, you found an old woman. Don't cry. Why are you crying? I'm so grateful to you. Were you really in love with me? Did you really think I was such a good person? If I had been a truly good person, I'd have made a man of you instead of thinking of nothing but your pleasure and my happiness. I wouldn't have kept you all to myself. Look at me. You're right. The qualities you lack, I expect it is my fault. But 30 years of easy living does make you very vulnerable. So no, I never did talk to you about the future. Forgive me. I loved you as if we were going to die the same day. I carried you in my heart for such a long time. I forgot you were going to have to carry your own burdens. A young wife. Perhaps even a child. And so you're going to suffer. You're going to miss me. And you're going to have to try to find enough wisdom and tolerance not to cause suffering to others. The thing is, now you've had a taste of youth. It's never satisfying, but you'll always want to go back for more. You must go. I love you. But it's too late. So get dressed. And go away now.
