No doubt I cried all the way to the end. There are many kinds of crying. There are emotional tears, and there are moved tears. On this cold autumn night, my heart was pulled tightly by a hand, rubbed and rubbed, and finally stabbed by a sharp dagger. In an instant, my heart was broken.
My first tear was not for Noah seeing Ellie, who was about to become a bride, kissing someone else, but for Noah's beard! Perhaps he was born soft-hearted, and he was the most disgusting to see any grievances against a big man. In that bearded face, there is so much helplessness, frustration, hopeless persistence and dazedness with no future in sight.
I can't remember the tears that followed. Heartbreak and tears, I followed the film to recall the hardships and sadness of my past. Those days of pain and happiness and persistence were also full of hopelessness, quarrels, reconciliation and quarrels. One or two days of writing a letter, changing various fonts to write envelopes, and just hanging up the phone, I started to miss it again... Tears flowed for the film, and more for myself. However, these don't matter, as long as you are moved, as long as you have empathy...
If this film is only moved, it is just a tearjerker, and it is not enough to make people want to watch it again after watching it.
I clearly understood the director's intention, through Noah, asking Ellie over and over again, also asking us "Don't care what other people want, don't care about what your parents want of you, don't think about what to do, just ask What do you want most for yourself?"
Do you want to live a worry-free life from now on? Or swinging a boat and roaming in the river?
Are you living your whole life in the city? Or pick up a paintbrush and draw your heart in an ideal house in the countryside?
Do you choose Mr.right like a mother? Or live happily ever after with your first love?
Do you want to be the person everyone expects? Or do you want to be who you want to be?
After the tears flowed, on the cold autumn night, my cold feet reminded me that the director was only asking questions and not having the ability to solve them. The director has some, just like a fairy tale, telling everyone that the two have lived a happy life since then...
Well, maybe, I hope the difference between urban and rural areas in the United States after the war is not as big as that in China, so that the happy days of the film can make us a little believe that there is "love" in the world.
