With the magic of life, with the way of love

This article is an afterthought of "Under the Tuscan Sun"

Francis, a woman frustrated with a divorce, has lost the focus of her life. At the urging of my friends, I embarked on a journey to Tuscany, Italy. According to her original intention, she was one hundred unwilling to go. Her experience tells her that traveling does not help her to get out of her grief and frustration. This is an accident. She accidentally got off the track of her usual life.

As a result, during the trip, she saw a garden house at a glance. Although it was only a glimpse of it for a second, even though the old house was in a strange place in a strange country and was in disrepair for a long time, from any dimension of reason, it shouldn't stay for this. The heroine is paranoid to get off the car, walk into the old house to inquire, and discuss the possibility of buying it with the owner. This second glimpse also hit his dream by accident. She breaks away from any routine and thinks sensibly that she should stay here and live a life that is very different from what she already has.

With great efforts to deal with the homeowner, she finally took down the house. That night, she who lived in a strange ruined house was hit by a heavy rain, she was half-deadly afraid, and she wondered for a while: Why did she buy this ruined house in this strange place?

This doubt is that reality forced her to wake up from the dream.

But only briefly. After all, the real price has already been paid. The dream has to go on. After all, back to the urban life in the United States, life is still broken.

This second glimpse, like a divine light, illuminates a heart that is not willing to live a mediocre life. It penetrates the copper and iron walls of reason. This is often the inner light of our lives: the motivation of our actions is rooted in our inner irrational desires. In fact, the most brilliant flowers of life are cultivated with the help of irrational soil. And the part of Francis returning from dream to reality and creating doubts is also very dramatic and very real. After all, we still live in the daily trivial reality and have to consider the basis and basis of survival.

Next, she looked for workers to repair the house and build the dwelling of her dreams. She blended into the very different Italian rural life and different customs, and gradually adjusted herself to win the goodwill of the people around her and gain a new focus of life.

New dreams appeared again. It comes from the encounter between Francis and a Prince Charming man during his vacation. She quickly fell into "love". Or more realistically speaking, the physical intimacy is quickly produced, and there is hope in the soul. A heart full of eagerness loses objectivity and will not be able to observe and judge calmly. This is just an affair, and should not be invested with too much emotional expectations.

Next, because of being entangled by some offices, she did not rush to the next romantic date as scheduled. When she had the opportunity to satisfy the desire to meet again, she dressed up and rushed to the other side's place to try to have a surprise and romantic experience. Reunited, only to find that the other woman was hugging another woman in his arms.

It can be said that even though Francis was middle-aged and suffered a marriage failure, he still maintained the nature of a little girl in his heart, both to the house and the lover at first sight. But reality is not a fairy tale. People who are simple and lack sophistication will suffer.

At first glance, this film looks like a chicken soup film about "Poetry and the Distance" and "Romantic Love". But fortunately, after the heroine's dream came up, the movie soon returned to the reality and penetrated the dream. This makes the film increase in thickness.

Francis was not crushed by the cruelty of life. After questioning her crazy decision made by impulse on the stormy night, she put away her doubts and still earnestly implemented her dream life plan-repairing the house and starting a new life in an unfamiliar environment. Although occasionally reveals fragility, he needs a warm hug from a friendly male landlord. After the disillusionment of the new love, she is still steadfastly continuing her new life. Of course, the film arranged for her girlfriend to come to live with her from the United States due to emotional changes, making her look less lonely in a foreign land. This provides a comfort.

Francis also heard a mysterious prophecy at the beginning: "There will be a wedding in this house", and originally expected it to be his own wedding. The result fell through. This did not knock down Francis. She herself was frustrated in love, and as a result, she didn't take love for this reason. She still believes in the importance of love to life. She also contributed to the "love fruit" between the daughter of the foreman who helped her repair the house and the migrant workers. Because the foreman husband and wife do not believe that their daughter will be treated kindly by her beloved wage earners. They believe that the young couple are just hot-headed, and the "love" between them is not sacred, but rather absurd. Soon life will avenge this blind passion. In addition, for working people, he who has no father or mother without any guarantee is not worthy of their daughter. Seeing the whole process of this love fermenting and forming, Francis stepped forward and endorsed this love, saying that from now on, she would become the guardian of the working-aged. So, a wedding was really held in her house. Although it is not hers, it is also precious.

Francis himself did not gain new love, but acted as the Virgin and contributed to a pair of young lovers.

The movie has now come to an end. It also looks like a nice finishing touch, although there is a bit of sourness. I believe it will leave the audience with some confusion.

For example, is the heroine's act of facilitating the marriage of young people a good thing or a bad thing. Is she a compensatory psychology arising out of emotional desire?

When the foreman and his wife used some reasons to question the love of the young man, to be honest, the reasons for questioning also fell on my mind. Based on their life experience, they are obviously very reasonable. Just as Francis’ dreams about poetic life and new love were all hit.

Adults tend to disapprove of the love of young people who are beginning to love each other. The unreliability of love and the cruelty of life constitute the life experience of adults.

In this film, the message "love is unreliable" is indeed displayed everywhere. The foreman and his wife obviously did not feel happy from their marriage. Francis' marriage failed. Even when she thought she encountered new love, she found it was just a wishful joke. Even the best friend who contributed to the heroine's trip to Italy at the beginning of the movie is a lesbian with a big belly and is immersed in sweetness with her homosexuals. However, in the second half of the movie, she was heartbroken because of her broken love and came to live with the heroine. The reason for the loss of love is that her homosexual does not approve of her behavior of using sperm to conceive and have children.

From the dimension of love, the world is full of frustrated people. There is the possibility of being hit by love from time to time in life.

As an audience with a little life experience, it is not difficult to come to the conclusion that this is the young man’s hormones when he sees the daughters of wage earners and the foreman starting to play young people’s physical intimacy and miss games.

The sum of all kinds of information makes people wonder: Is Francis the "Mother" who helps people or the "Bitch" who harms people.

It is simple to come to the conclusion that Francis is doing bad things, but this kind of conclusion can easily make people a bystander in life and stand on the sidelines of everything, because throwing into it is bound to hurt.

The characteristics of emotion and life are the same: both are unstable and full of variables. The way we look at the world should not be too rational, because rational views come from the summary of experience, and experience may be wrong. There are too many rational rules, the natural capacity of life is restricted, and there is no beauty and passion in life. Of course, one should not be overly obsessed with sensibility. The necessary rational reflection, summarization, and adjustment abilities are indispensable, otherwise you will be killed by the "dream".

From this perspective, Francis is really a good life person. He has his own life routine, but he does not refuse an unexpected journey, a critical moment, or even a moment of intuition to make a major decision in life. Although he has doubts about the dream of the moment, he can still follow the direction of the dream seriously and persistently. Repeatedly hit by love, but did not lose faith in love, did not become love stranglers like foremen and couples, and even became particularly cherished about love, which he did not hesitate to involve themselves in it to promote the love of a pair of young people. .

After all, loving and losing is better than never loving.

Fully immersed in life, immersed in dreams, is better than a lifetime of being trembling, not daring to take risks, and never having a deep life experience.

Thinking about it carefully, in fact, most people in this world have not really lived. This is the sadness of most people. In contrast, Francis' attitude towards life seems commendable.

Perhaps the love between the wage earners and the foreman's daughter will eventually burn out, and even this day may come soon, but this cannot be regarded as a bad thing by Francis.

Love is like life itself. It is too rare and worthy of care.
