There is a question on Zhihu, "What is the experience of watching "Love Holiday"?" "Some people say they watch it when they're sad, some people watch it every Christmas, and some people say they like the soundtrack.
Indeed, whether from the soundtrack or from the plot point of view, this is a drama that is both relaxed and joyful. That's why I revisited the film again. However, watching this drama many years later, it makes people understand the truth of love contained in it.
The film mainly tells the story of two lovelorn heroines, Amanda and Alice, who meet love again after an exchange house vacation.
Amanda and Alice, two girls with completely different personalities. A wind and fire, whether it is right or people are particularly decisive. One is more introverted and reserved, two people have different love experiences, encounters are also different, but this time to revisit, but found that the love they experienced actually tells us the same love truth.
<h3 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the most feared thing in the relationship is that when the break is continuous, sometimes decisive, it is the most correct posture when facing love. </h3>
Amanda and Her Boyfriend: At the beginning of the movie, amanda and her boyfriend break up. After the boyfriend cheated on her, Amanda knew, no matter how the boyfriend explained, she was like a job, decisively handled, the boyfriend was quickly swept out of the door.
During the fight with her boyfriend, we learned that Amanda is a workaholic with only work in her head. In her boyfriend's words, she was even eager to move the studio to the bedroom. Because in front of Amanda, the boyfriend is not valued, the needs are not met, so he chose to cheat.
However, this does not actually become an excuse for a boyfriend to cheat. For a relationship, if something goes wrong, in fact, the first consideration should not be to trace the reason from the outside, but to find the reason from the inside. In Amanda's love affair, the boyfriend did something irreparable from the beginning by looking for reasons outward.
Amanda is well aware of the love she wants, which is not tolerable betrayal, so she deals with the relationship decisively.
Alice and her opposite-sex friend Jasper: Alice also chose to travel abroad after being stimulated, before alice had a long crush on a friend of the opposite sex, Jasper. Jasper knows Alice's intentions very well in his heart, but he does not take the initiative and never refuses, and only when he encounters things, he will think of Alice. It was this kind of Jasper that gave Alice, who was already ashamed to express it, more hope in her heart, but in the end, Jasper got engaged to someone else. Alice is also heartbroken and wants to have a vacation to adjust herself.
Until Alice went to the United States, the newly engaged Jaspers actually traveled half the world to find her. I thought it was because he and his girlfriend broke up that he came to him. But this time Alice understood, and after confirming that he had not broken up with his girlfriend, she also decisively ended the vague relationship that she no longer wanted to remember.
Amanda's previous relationship with Alice ended in a breakup. A very decisive, one who has lost herself and even suffered from unrequited love, but after seeing this ambiguous relationship clearly, she also chooses to end it decisively.
The different encounters of the two of them imply a common love truth, that is, when they are broken, they can avoid too much harm.
<h3 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > meet love, be honest, and face your heart truthfully, in order to harvest good love again. </h3>
Amanda's new feelings: After exchanging houses with Alice, Amanda comes to a small town in England, which is not as prosperous as the United States and is not easily accessible. Soon after coming here, Amanda had the idea of going back. But after meeting Alice's brother, she changed her mind.
The first time she met Alice's brother Grace, Amanda was more of a believer in her feelings, and although the two had some intimate gestures, they both said they wouldn't have other thoughts because of it. But just as she was about to leave, she decided to stay. In this way, she learned that Grace was actually a single father, his wife had died two years ago, and it was not easy to live alone with two daughters and several jobs.
It was such a man that made Amanda suddenly have a warm feeling. She gets along with her children, and the four of them are like a family. In the relationship with Grace, Amanda felt the joy and ease she had never felt before, and more of a relief and joy after her experience.
Alice's New Love: After swapping houses with Amanda, Alice is almost as happy as a child. She was an easy girl to satisfy, and since coming here, she has always maintained her kindness. She helped the elderly who could not find their way home, which led her to meet the famous film screenwriter.
Along the way, she also met Amanda's ex-boyfriend's friend Miles, a good composer. Here the two of them seem to share a common experience. Alice talks to Miles about her previous relationship, and Miles also happens to experience a conflict with his girlfriend, so the two people who have experienced setbacks have a good feeling.
In the process, although Alice once again encountered the confusion brought by Jasper, this time she expressed all her emotions and drew a satisfactory end to her last relationship, and she regained her self-confidence and was no longer the girl who loved humbly.
She and Miles discuss music together and end up coming together because of the same interest.
In the love between Amanda and Alice, we find that if they do not end the relationship that is constantly broken, perhaps they will continue to be immersed in pain, and they will not harvest love again.
Two people, different emotional encounters, but for us to reveal, some feelings are actually more painful when broken. When facing feelings, be honest and face your heart, so that you can regain love and hope again.
