Do you still remember your first love?
It was, to some degree , a slight movie. Nothing actually happened except the old story that a couple fought against families and traditional conventions to be together in the end. Yet I found the movie gentle and affecting. Slowly, it panned across the experience and influence of the first love in a story-telling way where the hero, Noah kept repeating their love story to recall his wife’s memory——showing its fragility, its resiliency, its role as the connecting tissue between two young individuals coming from two totally different social class.
The story is not fresh, attractive or full of ups and downs, but what attracts me a lot, also others who love it, I think , lies in its unique way to tell their love story and lives. Noah who had heart never gave up trying to awake Annie’s memory , who had Alzheimer’s disease though the doctors ,families and nurses kept telling him that was impossible. Generally speaking, such a man ,in the odinary’s views, must be a faithful, unremitted and loyal man. However, he just soon gave up soon after the Annie’s families’ strong opposition——sometimes love is fragile. But after seven years’ waiting, destiny graced them to be given an opportunity to be together. Annie’s choice indicated another point, which I think is also important in the movie and was penetrated through the whole story line , that you should choose and do what you love, but not what fulfill others’ wishes and demands just like what Noah continued telling Annie.
Another interesting spot is that they two always fought with each other, but they just loved each other and knew he or she was an essential part of their lives. So nothing is perfect, the man is not perfect,even a little coward; the woman is not perfect,who did not dare to pursume what she loved; their love is not perfect, which contained annoyance and regret; even the ending——they died together soon after Annie remembered everything is not perfect. So what? That is life , that is love and that is what makes life different ,rich and precious!
某种程度上来说,这是一部很小众的电影。电影讲述了一对恋人在家人,世俗观念的阻挠下,最后终于在一起的老套故事,没有什么特别的。但是我觉得这部电影很温暖,很感动。 通过男主给他的妻子每天重复讲述他们的爱情故事的方式来唤醒妻子的记忆。这个过程展现了初恋是多么的脆弱,但有充满生命力以及初恋是如何将两个来自完全不同社会阶层的两个人紧紧地联系在了一起。
故事情节毫无新意,缺乏吸引力,更不用说跌宕起伏了,但是它吸引我的点,我相信其他人也一样,在于它以一种独特的方式来展现了他们的爱情故事和人生。为了唤醒患老年痴呆症的妻子的记忆,身患心脏病的诺亚从来没有放弃尝试,虽然他身边的都告诉他这是不可能的,一般来说,这样的男人,我们都会觉得他对爱情肯定很忠贞,坚定。但是年轻时候,当受到安妮父母的反对时,他立刻就放弃了,所以爱情有时是很脆弱的。但是过了七年,命运再次让他们相遇,安妮的选择暗示了电影另外一个视角,我认为是很重要的一点,即诺亚一开始就告诉她的那样,不要满足别人想让你做的,而要做你想做的。
另外一个有趣的点是他们经常吵架,但是却深深爱着对方,深知对方是彼此生命不可缺少的一部分。所以没有什么是完美的,男主不完美,甚至有点懦弱;女主也不完美,不敢做自己想做的;他们的爱情也不完美,最后的结局——就在安妮想起一切的那一刻,夫妻握手而去。但是那又怎样呢,这就是生活,这就是爱情,而正是这一切的不完美才令我们的人生丰富珍贵,与众不同。
