Continuing the first two works, today brings you the final chapter of the "Love in" trilogy, which is the love story that uses 3 movies to tell a love story spanning 18 years.
"Love Before Midnight"
The film was released in 2013, another nine years after the second film. Interestingly, this film has received the same Douban score of 8.8 points as the previous two films, and each of the trilogies has a rating of more than 8.5, which makes people have to admire.
It is said that the film will ruin the original as soon as the sequel is made, but the high rating of the "Love in" series shows the success of its sequel.
Still the same thing, the whole film is still chatty, and it is done more thoroughly than the first two.
The story 9 years later takes place in a quiet and beautiful Greek town.
Jesse divorced his ex-wife after reuniting with Selena nine years ago and is now sending his son, Hank, who was born to his ex-wife, on board for the United States.
The son, who already looks like a little adult, thanked his father for making him the best vacation in Greece.
But Jesse was clearly more immersed in reluctance to sadness than pleasure.
He knew that since his ex-wife had taken full custody, he was going to be absent from his son's growth.
And this is a difficult thing for a father to accept.
However, the parting is finally coming, and Jesse walks out of the airport in a daze, while Selena is waiting for her outside.
He married Selena and gave birth to a lovely pair of twin daughters, and the sisters slept soundly in the back seat of the car.
Selena tells Jesse that she got a better job offer, and Jesse expresses her opinion on the job.
Time is like an arrow, the face of the beautiful and plump blonde girl of the past has been engraved with the marks of time, and the handsome and amorous young man has also become a middle-aged uncle with mottled hair.
What has not changed is the tacit understanding of the two people, they chatted casually along the way, and the topic has not been broken.
Maybe that's what love looks like.
Unfortunately, Jesse was always troubled by his son's affairs, and he couldn't help but say his regrets; Selena understood and proposed various solutions.
In order to see his son twice a month, Jesse hopes to move from London to the United States, but this is firmly rejected by Selena.
The family returned to a Greek friend's estate.
The women prepare food and chat about their parents; the men discuss literature by the sea while admiring the peach buttocks of the bikini beauties.
At dinner, the three generations of young and old chatted about the acquaintance with their respective partners and expressed their understanding of love.
A friend booked a hotel for Selena and Jesse and said he would help them with their children for one night so that the couple could enjoy a romantic night in Greece.
In the hotel, Selena expressed her surprise at the room, and Jesse also found that a friend had given her a bottle of red wine.
The couple can't help but applaud for love when they are in love.
"Jingle bell—" The phone rang at an inopportune time.
It turned out to be Jesse's son, Hank, who was transiting in London and called to report that he was safe.
Selena ended the call with a "have a good time with your mom," a greeting that sounded awkward to Jesse.
He felt that he and his ex-wife were so bad that he should not make this joke; Selena was very aggrieved, because it seemed harmless to her.
It was only a small disagreement, but it ignited the fuse of the contradiction between the two people who were originally passionate.
Jesse had always felt guilty about his son, and the conversation that had not been resolved before made him feel even more angry in his heart.
Selena's transformation from a literary young woman to a housewife who worked hard after marriage was also very dissatisfied, and she was reluctant to give up her dream job opportunity.
The two argue from the rights and interests of men and women to the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in life, and argue about whether they have betrayed each other.
During the argument, Selena angrily put on her clothes and slammed the door to leave.
This quarrel is the best of Makiya's trilogy, in which the male and female protagonists use nuanced expressions and body movements to restore the real quarrel scene between husband and wife.
There are not too many scene transformations, just a room, two people, and some life props, which show this picture vividly.
After the prince and the princess live happily together, they are not drinking dew and chewing, and behind the beautiful picture of love, there are also differences, payments and compromises.
After experiencing these things, you can still trust each other and rely on each other, which is true love.
Because this paragraph is so substitutionary, it is said that many adults can't help but cry after reading it. I hope that interested viewers will look for it, and the specific details will not be much spoilers
Finally, with Selena's departure, Jesse calmed down. He found his wife sitting alone by the sea, pretended to be a time traveler, pulled out a blank piece of paper and pretended to read the letter of the future.
Perhaps it was the sincerity of this courtship that impressed Selena, who after a brief refusal, still played a playing game with her husband.
The film has come to an end, and the love story that spans eighteen years continues.
We have to marvel at the courage and talent of the director, and the amazing acting skills of Ethan Hawke (jesse) and Julie Delpe (selena) who still talk and laugh in front of long shots, to bring us such a great love story.
In 18 years, the two main actors from the beautiful youth of young to middle-aged beards and waist fat increased;
From the first one more than an hour of talking about the mouth, everyone hopes to have more transitions, music, stories and other film performance tricks, to the third part of the monetization method is more and more single, but more and more immersive to the audience, because at this time the movie has become life itself;
From the first part of the Wenqing must-see, to the third part has completely become a must-see trilogy series for couples and couples.
18 years of going around and going, the perfect ending, makes this trilogy worthy of the evaluation of "God's Work".
For love, the first encounter is invariably beautiful and sweet, and the dissatisfaction behind the glamorousness of the other party is even more precious.
Perhaps when we have people around us, it is also very romantic to watch the "Love in" series together.
