Really fresh and romantic.
It may be that after I understand it, I consciously or unintentionally avoid the biological limitation of age when watching movies. Perhaps I think the director has more or less avoided the direct impact of these age comparisons. The 80-year-old Maud's walking posture always reminds me of the Barbie lawyer heroine in LeagllyBlonde. She walks with small heel shoes and twists and turns, and she has an unrepeatable girlish feeling.
It was a feeling of mutual listening and comfort at the end of the world.
In fact, for both of them, death is liberation, but they chose to use their own methods to resist unpleasant memories, unpleasant prejudice, and unpleasant all the imprisonment of life. Just one positive and one negative. Then they meet, influence each other, and redeem each other.
In fact, although the whole film develops from the beginning to the later stage, the relationship between the two people is exceptionally smooth, but in fact everyone knows that the final outcome has been doomed by many uncontrollable and changeable realities. But seeing this, I feel that all this is very natural after the previous forging. Especially on her birthday, after Harlow opened Maud's eyes and kissed her, Maud said to him, that's fine, this is the best eighty.
At the age of 80, I felt the sense of ritual. This is a good age to die peacefully, Maud can die beautifully, happily, and freely. There is no disease, no pain, no loneliness, although she has nostalgia and reluctance. But Maud was telling Harlow that living is a skill, a courage, and so is death. To be like her, no matter whether there was pain in the past or whether there is nostalgia now, you must live hard, and then die freely, on the day you feel that there should be a sense of ritual. Perhaps it should be understood that death is not the opposite of life, but a part of life. But if you give up other parts of life for the sake of death, you give up the whole of life. At the end of the film, the director sold out. Harlow and Maud's car is shattered after falling off a cliff, and when the camera rolls, Harlow sings freely on the top of the mountain. So is there a love that I am united with you in my soul so I can always feel your presence. It's like you've always been alive, living in the scents you have collected, living in the harp you gave me, living in your clothes, skirts, head scarves, living in every little tree, every star, every single one you love. In the sunflower, it seems that the air around me is making me happy for you. Thank you for planting unparalleled beauty in my life. Just like the ending of a beautiful life, the little boy who spent his time in a concentration camp happily under the protection of his father's fairy tale, his father told him with practical actions and a forever attitude that death is not terrible, and life is not terrible no matter how hard it is. It's not scary for the person you love to leave you. You see, you still achieved your dream, you saw a tank, and you will have the tank of your life. Just like the lovely view of death in the Mexicans in Dream Travel, the death of a loved one is another kind of life, maybe just changed the appearance, maybe just changed the environment. But just like coco with a snow-white braid at the end of the film called Mom and Dad in that world of the dead, I burst into tears at that moment. I feel deeply that some things don't change. As long as the memory is still there, there is no fear of life and death, and you will never be alone. So I like this ending so much. Harlow played and sang happily on the top of the mountain with the banjo that Maud had left him. He knew that Maud was telling him that you should be like me, no matter what you're going through, what you're facing, being at ease, loving until you're old, and then on a big day, you really die with a sense of ritual. No matter how much I wanted to end my life, no matter how much I love you now. Because life is a power, and so is death. Do you understand? I know. So I believe that people in this world have always understood me, even if they once understood me . So I no longer doubt myself, I no longer care about the opinions and evaluations of others, and I no longer care about worldly morals. I know I'm unique, but I'm free and brilliant, and more importantly, I understand that it's not my problem, it's the world's problem. So it was great to meet someone like that. I am very happy to be understood, I am willing to be infected, and I have more courage to live after being separated and abandoned by the destined helpless.
