Random thoughts on the second viewing

There are two spoilers.

Last year was the first time I watched it the year before. When I saw that F (Francesca) went to M (Marcello) to surprise him, M actually had a new love, which surprised and saddened F. I felt the same as F at the time. I felt that M was too unreliable, and it didn't take long for me to find a new love so quickly. When I watch it again, I start to reflect on the mistakes of women like F in this relationship from the words of M.

F said: I dare not change my plan every time, so this time I decided to surprise you (put on the white dress that M wants her to wear to meet him). Soon after M was greeted by M's new cheers on the balcony, F immediately burst into tears. Yes, it's so embarrassing. I dress up and come to see him alone, only to find that he has another new love. However, M said sorry for hurting her heart, and asked her what else to expect. F was even more surprised and said to M: You came to my villa to find me and left me a note. I thought I felt (interrupted by M before I finished speaking). M said: We did have a great time a few months ago. If you think I want a follow-up, you're right. Because I did think so. You are a good woman. But we never came together again, despite our efforts. This kind of thing is just fine. F said: I told you, my friend is here and she is about to have a baby. M said: There are always such and such things, all kinds of things you have to do. F said sadly: And you can't wait any longer. Yeah? M comforted F and said: Don't worry, there is nothing to regret. do you regret it? F thought for a while and said: No. M said: You will definitely meet that person. F cried and said: Goodbye.

Seeing this, I went back and watched them meet, trying to understand what M was thinking. When F followed M to his family-run outdoor bar by the sea, F felt that it was a little unrealistic and said: I met you on the streets of Rome, and then I came here. Don't you have any plans for today? Do you have nothing to do today? M said: so what? If you meet a beautiful person or thing, you should hold on tight until the moment you let go. Later, M said again: It's a pity that you bought your house in Cortona. F puzzled: why? M said: Because I didn't buy it at Positano, and I am here. Promise me you will be back. F answered with some doubts: I think it should be possible.

Combined with what M said above, I understand it somewhat. The previous thought was the same as that of F, and I felt that M was wrong because M was too empathetic. Ou and F are too similar in the way they deal with their relationship. I feel that when my friend comes, I must be there to accompany her. Besides, she is about to give birth and broke up with her girlfriend. And the house you bought has to be renovated, and a lot of miscellaneous things have to be dealt with. These things have been told to M, he should understand. After all these are dealt with, it will not be too late to find him again. However, in M's opinion, if you meet someone you like, you have to hold on tight. Anyway, we will always have something to deal with. Prioritize the beautiful things he encounters in advance, and when he passes by where F lives, he will seize the time to see her, but he is disappointed. At this time, he was also busy with other things, but it didn't stop him from visiting F. He would take time out and show his concern and concern with his actions. At this point, I also understand that as F, we have also let M people sad and disappointed, and we also have a certain responsibility. As F, we make M people feel wronged and sad. In their opinion, F takes too many things more important than himself. Patti said that he didn't want his presence to interfere with F's feelings, yes, he's an adult, and he's responsible for what he does. If F settles down with P or during the renovation of the house to strike while the iron is hot to contact M, what will happen? It may also be separated for other reasons. But no if, it's over. As M said, there is nothing to regret, after all, there have been happy times.

This is also a problem that many people will make on the road of love. Being too slack when it is time to strike while the iron is hot will cool down the enthusiasm over time, and it will not be so easy to get it back. In fact, it's not just that I deal with emotional issues like F, I also deal with many things in the same way. For example, I went to a book sharing meeting once, and I clearly liked it and felt very good. But I felt that there were other chores to deal with on Saturday, so I comforted myself and said to go next time. This cycle, until a wave of new faces at the sharing meeting, did not go a few times. Obviously you can spend it happily, if you put some thought into squeezing out the time, it would be nice. But the time that has passed is gone forever, there is no if. There are so many things like this. When you meet someone or something you like, you must learn to grasp it well, don't wait and don't delay. It can be regarded as learned, but also see their own faults, need to be corrected.

I hope that the next time I meet someone I like, I can work hard like M, and do my best first! I know this is still a bit difficult for me, who is accustomed to F-style processing, and I will try to change it occasionally.
