他和她的孤独情事：他们

我想穿过人群、穿过马路，追你
追你新剪的短发和轻快许多的步伐

我想拍拍你的后背
用第一次见面时的羞涩触碰你

我想被你捕捉到我焦灼的心
它生怕毁了不期而遇的惊喜

我想呼喊你的名
你因此停下、回头

可是我只能远远的站在马路对面望你
可是我跨越不了数不清的车辆和行人亲近你
可是我无法掏出我的心与你
可是我没有力气发出声音唤你

我终于呆呆地立在地铁口
疲倦地看你步下台阶远去
我深爱的妻

Comment
Eleanor suddenly threw herself into the river when she was walking along the street, but was saved. After this attempted suicide, she disappeared from her husband’s life.
With the story going on like this, the trigger behind all of this was emerging. Their son died. Eleanor was sad and even sadder to see her husband not affected, carrying on with his normal life. After six months’ endurance, El chose to commit suicide as an outcry against that. As a consequence, there showed up a divergence between their lives.
”He went soft. I stayed hard. That was that.” A professor of El once said like this as a conclusion of her life with her husband. It went well for El and Conor as well. Conor seemed soft while El seemed to stay hard.
Faced with their son’s death, Conor chose to continue with his normal life, putting away all the staff that used to belong to their son and enjoying Chinese food. When his restaurant nearly broke down, he chose to work in his father’s restaurant although he used to hate his father for his cruelty to his mother. But was Conor not sad about his son’s death at all? Not really. He asked his father never to talk about this. He was trying to avoid this huge sorrow. He was trying to bury them all in his deep memory. Conor is just the sort of guy, like his father who had three girlfriends after divorce. This kind of people always know how to survive and how to carry on with their lives.
Meanwhile, Eleanor preferred to leave herself grieving for her son’s death. Moreover, she wished her husband should show the equal sadness as hers. Maybe inherited from her mother who was a musician and a French, Eleanor presents more sensibility. They’re usually slower to walk out of the shadows.
In this way, I have to say El may be the soft one while Conor stays hard. Indulging oneself in the past is not necessarily wise. Life goes on without waiting. So at the end of the movie, in a dark night, Conor was strolling in the park, followed by Eleanor at a distance. They didn’t meet or greet. They seemed not to notice each other. This is an opening ending. But in my opinion, Conor walking ahead while Eleanor following afterwards means after all of this, Conor has already lived an advanced life than El. He kept up with the pace of life while El resumed her essay. They still loved each other but they were in a different time and space.

他和她，演得都很好，让你忘记这不过是一场戏，而情不自禁地随之悲喜交加，纠结彷徨。
爱情是什么?真正相爱的两个人，无论有怎样不对等的差异，最终都会因彼此牵绊而找到一起走下去的方式，导演试图传达这样的信息，我愿意相信结局的美好。
片尾曲是个惊喜，情绪传达微妙熨帖。几个场景细节处理很棒，詹一美无愧于一美称号，每个镜头，举手投足，一颦一笑，都叫人心碎心醉。
别笑我，我本来就是来花痴的。
