In fact, I started watching the first one a few years ago. But at the time, it was totally unbearable for a movie that was full of chatter, so it was discontinued. It may also be because it was too naive and superficial at that time, and the longing for love was like the fast-food love in "American Pie", enjoying the moment. It's hard to realize how rare it is to meet someone who can chat with him "from poetry and poetry to philosophy of life". Now it seems that Soulmate may really have to spend all his strength to meet it. Just like the story of Cellion and Jesse, if you miss a moment, you have to wait 9 years to meet again.
It looks dramatic, but life is more dramatic than that. In the second part, we hope that their encounter this time will not be separated again, but they also know that life must continue, although there may be countless nights, you appeared in my dreams, Although I have imagined the scene where we meet countless times. But fortunately, they are still together. Unsurprisingly, with entering a marriage, there will always be conflicts between husband and wife. When they were topless, sobered up from a "turning cloud and rain" that was about to start, and quarreling "seriously", all the movements, gestures, and eyes they did were really natural. No wonder everyone thinks it's like a documentary. But the reason why this is called a "movie" is that the biggest difference lies in the lines.
From the first part to the third part, the lines of each part can be called "talking about love" at different ages. When he was young and vigorous, he would blush when he heard ambiguous and provocative words. When he is middle-aged, he can openly joke about pornography and act shyly. I have to say, the actor has really good control over all this. In fact, when I watched the first part, I was searching in my mind for anyone who had "chattered" with me like this so far. I have, and I enjoy it. You have to admit, being able to chat with someone who fits your spirit is really comfortable. Through chat, each other's image becomes fuller and more three-dimensional. I describe this type of communication as a kind of story - a story of two people writing dialogue. In fact, this is the charm of this "Love Is". It shows through the means of film - chatting - the simplest and most effective way of communication.
Yes, it can quickly shorten the distance between people, and it can be like Yang in the third part, both of them can talk, so the contradiction is intensified.
But what I will say is that language, it is still the most unpredictable, charming and magical communication tool.
This reminds me of the movie that gave me a hard time for a long time - "Blue Valentine". Couples who have entered a midlife crisis, because of long-term communication problems, lead them to go further and further in the end. When the film is deadliest, it uses interludes to constantly switch the scenes where they once fell in love madly, which is really hurtful. What made them change? Is it because there is no love 2? I believe there is still love between them, because as time goes by, love will slowly ferment, maybe it will not be as sweet as the initial love, maybe bitter, and a little bit bitter, but it is still love. It subtly influences our tolerance for each other, our sense of responsibility, and our integrity. But don't forget, the best way is to express. I'm also tired of the old self who was always trying to figure out what's on my mind, so why can't I open up and talk about it.
Love the line "How important we thought we were to each other, but we all passed by, appeared and disappeared. But this is the best. To 'pass by'."
