warm afternoon

If green is full of spring
, then I love the dead leaves that wither in the afternoon in golden autumn.
As Duras wrote in "The Lover",
"At that time, you were still young, and everyone said you were beautiful... For me... I love your devastated face more now.


" The temperature in the afternoon of the day was
still in the 10s.
The weather forecast said that winter will not be possible this month.
I think this winter will be so cold that I can’t be caught off guard and can’t resist it .
Fortunately, it’s barely warm now

.
The ground is full of withered and yellow leaves . The crisp sound of "click, click" made by
stepping on the foot is very pleasant . At this time, I noticed a white-haired old man across the street. He was the only one in the whole street, golden under the gray sky . The sun shines on the leaves and the old man's white hair and vigorous steps form a beautiful picture. I really regret not bringing a camera , but my broken camera can't take pictures even if I bring it . The historical buildings on the road of Yijing Fuxing are everywhere. It is pleasing to the eyes, even though the vicissitudes of the lead and the splendor of history are also told to the world through the mottled walls, it reminds of "Before Sunset" Jesse and Celine met in the bookstore, but they only had one afternoon to get along, before sunset, Jesse is flying back to America. The two walked in the streets of Paris in the afternoon, rafting on the beautiful moat, talking about everything and being in high spirits.





















In "Before Sunrise" nine years ago, they also talked so happily, as if they had known each other in a previous life. But the director and the screenwriter were cruel. After watching it for nearly 2 hours, they didn't let them be together. Instead, they left suspense and agreed to meet in a few years. As a result, Celine missed the appointment, and Jesse got married in disappointment.

In "Before Sunset", Jesse has become famous and has a wife and children, but when she meets Celine, she seems to still have feelings. But this time, the director and screenwriter finally stopped playing people, let them say everything clearly, and left a lot of reverie. Jesse stayed in Celine's room, almost missing the plane, but he was in no hurry.

Maybe because the sun is so beautiful, I believe it will be a happy ending.

Before Sunset quotes

  • Celine: Even being alone it's better than sitting next to your lover and feeling lonely.

  • Jesse: You know, I think that book that I wrote, in a way, was like building something. So that I wouldn't forget the... details of the time that we spent together. You know, like just a reminder that... that once we really did meet! You know, that this was real! That this happened!

    Celine: Celine: I'm happy you're saying that, because... I mean, I always feel like a freak, because I'm never able to move on like... this! You know. People just have an affair, or even entire relationships... they break up and they forget! They move on like they would have changed brand of cereals! I feel I was never able to forget anyone I've been with. Because each person have... their own, specific qualities. You can never replace anyone. What is lost is lost. Each relationship, when it ends, really damages me. I never fully recover. That's why I'm very careful with getting involved, because... It hurts too much! Even getting laid! I actually don't do that... I will miss on the other person the most mundane things. Like I'm obsessed with little things. Maybe I'm crazy, but... when I was a little girl, my mom told me that I was always late to school. One day she followed me to see why. I was looking at chestnuts falling from the trees, rolling on the sidewalk, or... ants crossing the road, the way a leaf casts a shadow on a tree trunk... Little things. I think it's the same with people. I see in them little details, so specific to each of them, that move me, and that I miss, and... will always miss. You can never replace anyone, because everyone is made of such beautiful specific details. Like I remember the way, your beard has a bit of red in it. And how the sun was making it glow, that... that morning, right before you left. I remember that, and... I missed it! I'm really crazy, right?
