Love is a topic faced by most human beings, an eternal topic.
When it comes to the specific expressions of love, there are nothing more than the following: sweet and romantic, wild and unrestrained, tragic and poignant; but this is not all of it, or in other words, these are just a few external expressions.
So, what is true love.
For thousands of years, countless people have been discussing this issue, but they have never been able to figure it out. Therefore, there is a feeling that "asking what love is in the world can lead to life and death."
often hear this saying, in the face of love, age is not a problem, there is no right or wrong in true love; it seems to answer the previous question, but if we look closely, we will find that this is only a half-answer.
Regarding this issue, the movie "Titanic" gave the most perfect interpretation of this topic.
The heroine Ruth is a declining aristocratic lady, but Ruth does not like Karl. They have different tastes and there is a huge gap in communication.
Ruth likes Picasso paintings, but Karl mocks Picasso for "not being famous"; Ruth hates boring social entertainment, but Karl likes to brag and show off between cups and cups.
On the surface, Carl likes Ruth. He not only confesses his love to Ruth, but also gives her the precious necklace "Heart of the Ocean".
In fact, whenever Ruth showed any behavior that was not in line with aristocratic etiquette, Karl would frown and scold her, feeling embarrassed.
Ruth knew that what Karl loved was just his aristocratic status.
Thinking of living with a vain and materialistic person for the rest of her life, trapped in all kinds of boring entertainment, Ruth felt desperate and wanted to die.
At this time, Jack appeared and he stopped Ruth in time. This is where the fate of
begins.
When Jack asked Ruth "Do you love him?", Ruth feigned anger, but did not leave. Instead, she was attracted by his humor and talent.
So, in the following interactions, Ruth let herself go.
In the beautiful sunset, they fell in love with a kiss and had a happy life.
This is the sublimation of their love.
However, the good times are always short-lived.
Late at night on the fourth day at sea, the crew at the observation deck saw a black shadow appear in their sight, getting bigger and closer.
"Iceberg!" the crew exclaimed.
The crew immediately slowed down and turned. How could the Titanic, which was moving at full speed, stop so easily?
Under the strong inertia, the Titanic slammed into the iceberg and sank rapidly.
The crowd was in panic, but Jack and Rose were very calm. At the critical moment, he gave Rose the opportunity to escape, while he slept on the bottom of the sea.
It can be said that Jack and Rose gave the correct and complete answer to "what is love" with their actions: true love is not about being close to each other before and after flowers, but whether we can join hands to share hardships when the storm comes.
And Ruth's fiancé Carl showed a cold and selfish side.
On the surface, Carl likes Ruth. He not only confesses his love to Ruth, but also gives her the precious necklace "Heart of the Ocean".
In fact, whenever Ruth showed any behavior that was not in line with aristocratic etiquette, Karl would frown and scold her, feeling embarrassed.
And when the giant ship was about to sink, Karl's words completely exposed the true face of the "upper class people" to the sun.
"The rich can always be saved."
has only a few words, but it vividly demonstrates the selfishness, indifference, and arrogance of human nature.
Just like someone said: "Spiritual aristocrats are not necessarily rich, and rich people are not necessarily aristocrats."
If Jack and Carl are defined by this sentence, then Jack undoubtedly belongs to the former.
As Maugham said: "Time will filter out the great from the small."
Some people are alive, he is dead; some people are dead, he is still alive.
Disaster is like a magnifying glass, which illuminates the selfishness and arrogance of some people, and also magnifies the sparkle and beauty of human nature.
From this, it is not difficult to find that when love comes, the real resistance or test we encounter is not secular vision and traditional concepts of family status. These are just human factors; and the real resistance or test is not knowing. When will the accident come, as the " Bible " said: "It turns out that we do not care about what is seen, but we care about what is unseen; for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
Balza Ke once said: "Love is not just a feeling, it is also an art." Here it can be changed to "Love is not just a feeling, but also a belief." Jack and Rose defended their beliefs with practical actions; and as the audience, we not only saw the greatness of love, but also saw the complexity of human nature.
In this film, what we see is the common old routine of "a hero saves a beauty", but it is also this old routine that answers the true meaning of love for us, allowing us to understand it more deeply while crying. thinking, and what we think about is not only love, but also human nature.
