Watch the first episode cry.
Watch the second episode and smile.
The next few episodes, I don't want to brush it all in one breath and can't help but want to watch it.
Brushing Weibo again, I found that there are many people with the same symptoms as me:
Why did it get so wrong?
Shhh, because of love —
Modern Love Season 2
return! come! finish!
Eight episodes of the unit drama, one episode each with a story about love.
Highlights: It's all based on the New York Times column of the same name.
Season 1 Dean Amway passed. The goddess went out this time
In retrospect, the mediocre but direct soft touch is still there.
The second season returned, and the crying warning was sounded in advance.
Although the lineup has changed blood, it is still a familiar face for the public.
For example, the old drama bone Minnie River, "Game of Thrones" "Snow" Kit Harrington, "True Love Like Blood" heroine Anna Paquin, "Bohemian Rhapsody" heroine Lucy Baotong...
It's been a lot of people from the beginning of the film—
It's still the familiar "Setting Sail", as soon as the music starts, a series of old photos full of stories flash in front of your eyes.
It's just that the photos are no longer the old material of the first season, but new faces, new feelings, new stories.
In just one minute, an inexplicable warmth and heartbeat surged into my heart.
Perhaps as the netizens said:
I believe in love again.
Of course, this beauty and emotion are more generated after reading the story.
The first story of the opening chapter, the staying power is very strong.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most tear-inducing of the eight stories, who sees who cries and collapses —
"Driving a convertible through winding roads"
Do you have anything particularly dear?
Even if it is dilapidated and has become the "scrap copper and rotten iron" in his population, you are not willing to throw away the items?
For Curran, this blue sports car is that kind of existence.
Coincidentally, it broke again.
Curran went out of his way to repair it, and the repairman was about to collapse early.
From kindly advising her to sell the car:
To threaten to persuade her to sell the car:
No less than eight hundred times.
You know, even if this car is sold to classic car collectors, it is only 4700 euros, and it costs 1200 euros to repair it once.
The point is that it is always bad, it is a bottomless pit.
Repairman: Sober up, you don't care about money, I don't want to fix it yet!
Finally, under financial pressure, Curran needed to sell the car.
But she began to toss and turn, because the thought of losing the car was about to burst with sadness, and even lost the courage to face the future.
What does this car really mean to her?
As the memories poured in, the answer was soon revealed—
It turns out that what matters is not the car, but the car is full of too much lost beauty.
The car was bought by her ex-husband who died of illness.
When the two were young and in love, they always loved to drive it for a ride.
The CD in the car burns their love, the steering wheel eavesdrops on all their love words, the rearview mirror collects the kisses, smiles, and even the hugs of reconciliation after every argument...
Later they changed from two to three, and the car became another record of "home".
Unfortunately, life has left her with the loss of her love.
Since then, the car has become a time machine for her to connect with another time and space.
It seemed that as long as it was opened, everything was back to the past, and the former pillow man was sitting next to him at the moment, listening to his own grumbling and caressing his blown hair.
Only in the car did she dare to speak without scruples.
Say I love you, I miss you, day and night.
There is one picture that I am very impressed with -
Curran drove the car, closed his eyes and deliberately let go of the steering wheel, stopping the car only when the wheels shifted to the cliff.
At that moment, she probably wanted to get close to death, in order to find the feeling of being alive.
People say that life always has to move forward.
The same goes for Curran, who long after she started a new family and started a new life.
Even this time decided to sell the car and learn to really let go.
When she watched the buyer drive away, the car did not have a little problem with obedience, and she felt lost instead of being happy:
"Please, why aren't you bad now?"
I thought that hiding the wound and learning to turn a blind eye would really be painless.
In fact, the mouth has been soaked in the tears of thought, and it has never scab.
She couldn't forget him at all.
So that night, Curran confessed his heart to her current husband that he had never revealed.
I would sit in the car and talk to my deceased husband, keeping each other's sweaters and smelling as if I was being hugged...
She thought that after her husband heard it, he would think that she was crazy or wanted to leave her.
Yet he did not, and he sat down beside her and told her gently:
"That's love and sorrow, honey, there's no rule."
In a word, I broke the defense.
If the regret of the Slovaks' departure is heart-wrenching, Curran is even more fortunate to meet a person who understands him so inclusively.
When Curran asked him, how could I be so lucky?
Tears collapse and then collapse again!
There were no flowery words, and there were not too many emotional ups and downs, but I felt that the man in front of me, who was half-crowned, sued to the extreme.
Isn't this love exactly what I want?!
Just the simplest emotional outpouring is enough to make people feel the truth and eternity of love.
It also makes people find that the original love can exist in many ways and colors.
It can be a black and white run-in —
Moonlight girls with sleep phase shift syndrome meet their own sun boys, from the darkness of the day and the night, to the slow two find the same frequency mode of getting along in the jet lag.
It can be an amber reconciliation —
Walking on the road and rubbing shoulders with old lovers, looking at each other and smiling, understanding each other in memory.
It can be a broken mirror and a new circle -
Divorced couples try dating again to give each other a chance and finally get back in love.
Sometimes, it can also be an old-school romance with a log color.
For example, I still like a story, which many people call the "most romantic" episode -
"Strangers on the train"
On the train from Galway to Dublin, two strangers met.
Because of the inadvertent communication during the ordering, the two chatted without a word.
From personal professional chats to recent readings, from sharing jokes to family life...
Love at first sight just happened naturally, just like the big brother who improvised a little love song on the side: beautiful encounters, jealous beauty.
But it is different from modern people to meet first sweep WeChat and add friends -
They decided to go in the old-school style.
There were no names or phone numbers, and there was only an agreement to meet on the train in two weeks.
？ So confident? Not afraid of being pigeons?
They were sure from the look in each other's eyes that the other would keep the agreement.
Before parting, the kiss is also replaced by a super ritualistic "elbow touch".
Hahahaha is obviously good secondary two, but I feel damn emotional.
However, the unexpected situation that prevented the two from meeting each other came -
The epidemic has led to a lockdown in the city, and no one can be more than two kilometers away from home, let alone go to the train station?!
Compliance or compliance?
Both chose the latter.
It sounds silly isn't it, but when I saw the two of them riding against time with the mentality of "don't try how to know", I was extremely excited:
I hope the agreement comes true, I hope they are on the same street, even if it is a routine point.
Hey, the ending, of course...
I was dreaming.
Policeman: Hurry up and go back and forth, don't get in the way of our work!
The funniest thing is this scene -
He told the police what he thought was a particularly romantic encounter, thinking that the other party would be moved to a mess and let him pass.
At the end of the story, the police were very touched and refused:
Brothers lie to whom! Next time make up a smart reason.
In the eyes of the police, the way to meet without leaving any contact information and relying only on the communication of hearts is not only unreliable but also very ridiculous.
And she was sure that the other party would not abide by the agreement.
After all, there are checkpoints everywhere, so who would break the rules for a stranger you just met?
The train met and went to waste.
But the man leaned back on his memories and presumably remembered an address that Paula had mentioned on the train.
He wasn't sure if it was right, but he waited at the intersection day after day, in case he met one day?
Did the stranger on the train finally meet again?
I don't know, the story only leaves an open-ended ending.
But in any case, in today's era of fast food on the Internet, when more and more people no longer believe in love, this pure, non-considerative, only two soul resonance encounters is particularly precious.
This poetic sense of romance is easily reminiscent of another movie, "Love Before the Dawn Breaks."
In particular, the picture of two people sitting facing each other on the train is quite a tribute.
Steal half a day in exchange for knowing each other for a lifetime.
This beautiful encounter is not simply love, but also a kind of pity.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the "stranger on the train" story, other love stories also have details that remind you of a movie.
For example, the fifth short story:
Katie, a girl, finds herself in love with another girl at school and begins questioning her sexuality, trying to find answers through social media.
The two hid in the bathroom to naturally exude emotion, a bit of "true and half-solution" flavor.
Another story: "Couples in waiting rooms whose marriages broke down".
A former Marine and a housewife discover that their respective spouses are having an affair, and after a chance encounter in the therapist's office, the two have an unexpected connection.
Do you think it's very "Fancy Years"?
Just they sit in the café:
They eat steak:
The feeling of reproducing these details is amazing.
In particular, the episodes are based on true stories, which makes you more confident:
From real life to film and television, human emotions are always connected.
Although we experience our lives alone, we are not alone.
Maybe at this very moment, there are thousands of people who are sharing the same emotions with you and experiencing similar things.
All, please always believe in love and believe that there is always someone standing with you.
