the shape of love

The plot is not complicated:

Nelly was a Jewish musician who was taken to a concentration camp by the Germans during World War II, but fortunately she was not killed. After the war, she was rescued by friends and had plastic surgery. After recovering, she wanted to return to her husband's side, and said that she was able to persevere in the concentration camp because of the strength that this love gave her.

Her friend Lena told her that her husband had betrayed her. After Nellie's husband was arrested by the German army, he told the German army about Nellie's information and exchanged his freedom. But Nellie didn't believe it. She still wanted to see him.

Later, Nellie met her husband, but the husband found that Nellie who had undergone plastic surgery could use it in order to inherit Nellie's huge inheritance. Under the domination of love, Nellie followed her husband wholeheartedly. In her eyes, as long as they still love each other, everything is fine.

Best friend Lena committed suicide in the end (I guess it was because she was desperate to see Nelly jumping into the fire pit), but left Nelly with some documents. It was her husband and her divorce papers. The documents made it clear to Nelli that her husband didn't love him at all. Her heart is dead.

In the end, she blocked the face of her friends and her husband, showed her singing voice, and told her husband in this way that she was the real Neri, but also another Neri, because that love was gone.

=============================

The power of love is contradictory, it can bring good results and bad results. Just like Nellie, she survived the concentration camp because of her love for her husband. But her love was not as happy as she thought it would be after the war. And in more similar movies, even love has devastating results.

So, is love an angel or a demon? ?

In fact, what it is depends entirely on what the two people in love are, whether they both play angels or both play devils.

So I always thought that love is love and that love is not responsible for all the bad things people do. The reason some "love stories" have very dark results is that there is no love between them at all. Therefore, love is something that very few people can enjoy, and more people cannot afford everything that love brings.
