I first came into contact with this story because I watched a movie (Total Eclipse Of Love). It's not because of The Little Plum that I watched it, I used to be a movie fanatic, no matter what type or country, I didn't pick it all.
This movie should have been seen more than ten years ago, and now I remember that after watching it, I was sad for a long time. In the play, the two are divided and merged, why would Rimbaud fall in love with an ugly old man, because there is no money? Or can this old man give him creative inspiration? Purely because of love I still don't believe. Seeing the middle part of the film, you will feel that the two have a bit of a long-term relationship, but it is not long before they are separated because they have no money, and after the separation, Rimbaud strongly realizes that he loves the old man. Later, I would go to find Verlaine again. He just didn't expect the old man to return to his wife.
Rimbaud asked Verlaine whether to choose the soul or the body, and Verlaine's answer was to choose the body, saying that the soul is always there, and the body will decay and disappear. At this time, it was Rimbaud who really gave up Verlaine. It seems that the question actually refers to Rimbaud and Verlaine's wives. Rimbaud did not see Verlaine again until his death. At the end of the film is Verlaine's regret and nostalgia.
At that time, when a tragedy was read, it seems that although there are regrets, it is precisely because of this regret that it is confirmed that there is love in this world, and only the dead can become the love in the hearts of the living.
Rimbaud said: "Either everything or nothing!"
