Movie: painted veil
It is a film discussing what love is.
To the Professor/ doctor, To the nuns, To the not so dutiful wife.....
A bit old in theme & presentation but questions raised worth our attention.
Love is passion?
Love is duty?
Love is lust?
Love is a repsonse to human kindness?
Or ideal love is a mix of duty and love? What will remain if no love for one self/no love for others? What will remain if no duty to oneself/to others?
What will happen if one comes after another?love first, then duty; or duty first, then love.
No one will be identical in the world. How can we embrace differences and still be able to love?
To see my little sister being pregant and giving birth to a baby girl. I have more ideas why the little boy in the movie ending means sth. Love will fade. Life is short. Flower will die. But duty and love express themselves in the love towards our offsprings. I guess my sister will understand this. To her daughter, there is not only duty but also love. A re-visit of love. And that makes life important. Right, my little sister?

After reading the plot, the movie didn't move me to go to the cinema. Perhaps I've experienced sad story ending enough and it's time for me to watch movies with a laugh, though I fell sleep when watching "Epic Movie" last week.
Gigi, have you watched "The pursuit of Happyness"? It's a good one too.

Very sweet, Virgo, but too much Virgoid complexities and profundities which troubles the old mad cow. To Taurus, Love is God. Full stop. Simple. No love, no universe, no us, no grass. Cows love grass, grass is green, green hills are full of grass therefore cows love hills too. Its as simple as that.

Want to watch the pursuit of happiness too, Will smith ma!

'God is love' a complicated notion, will discuss with you later on this
Do not be mistaken to think that Taureans are simple-minded. The fact is that we have 'Big Picture' animals. Love should NOT be defined, it should be experienced. Spoken languages are just inadequate tools for defining love. Just like God, you cannot define God, but you know God is. (Vow, my brain is over-heating...)
Great that you experience God that vividly. I can see you feel the heat
My cow-brain is over-heating because cows are not used to making philosophical discourses - it just EATs them.
OK, saw that film on my flight to Melb. Lots of kleenex tissues to get through the last bit. I think conjugal love between a man & a woman in the context of this movie is about melting down natural self-fishness/ ego boundaries and putting yourself into the shoes of the others with the intent of placing the others welfare above your own.
