After watching Malena (part 1)

I just finished watching this movie--Malena. I was literally moved deeply. (if you were moved deeply, you can leave "literally" out or off)

I have been thinking about a simple common stupid question (these three adjectives 1)simple 2)common and then with 3)stupid - seem redundant - common stupid, or simple stupid are OK, but all three together seems like you said the same thing twice and it's confusing)

for a really long time, and that question has always confused me a lot, which is, what the hell is love stand for? (you can leave off 'stand for' and just say what is love?, or maybe what does love really mean?)

Everyone, including adolescences, adults, elders, everyone on this planet, has their own insights about what is the true love. Because the commercial movies and dramas and shows and books have already explained a lot about the meaning of love.(use commas here, instead of so many 'ands'... movies, dramas, shows and books.....)   However, is love really like what it conveys is conveyed in the media?

The answer is no. Malena, I guess it is the best love movie I've wathced so far. It conveys deeply (deeply is a poor adjective here....or maybe place the adjective before the verb convey) about what is true love. The protagonist, a teen, falls in love with a woman who is much older than him. He is impressed by the woman's apperence, her body, her smell inhabiting in his mind. He is like every teenager, masturbating himself and dreaming about the woman's naked body before going to sleep.(Poor Jingru - you feel into the exact trap you stated above - you have gone off and belived this lie, that every teenage male on the whole earth dreams and masturbates about a woman's naked body, I feel so sorry for you, that you have bought into this lie from Hollywood. While it is naturual for guys to want women, everyone is not a twisted pervert like Hollywood would have you believe.)

He follows her track using his bike and watches her actions in the dark which she cannot notice. He is more like an audience in lieu (in lieu means in place of, so I think you've used the wrong word here....perhaps instead of a) of a protecter of the woman; because he does not try to protect her when she is humiliated and ruined and stepped on by the others -- the others who are in jealous of her beauty and the ones who are just jerks thirsting for getting her in bed.

I have talked to many people about sex. I asked them what do you think of sex in a realtionship? I asked most of males about if you cannot have sex with the girl you love, do you still maintain this ralationship? They heistated for a quite long time and murmured: "Er.. I guess I won't..."

This is the typical Hollywood trash, that you've bought into - that love is just about sex. Part of you knows better Jingru, but yet you said above "he falls into love" with her - but you missed it, that is what Hollywood taught you. What he did was to lust after this older woman, but he did not really, honestly love her. Real love - is somebody who gives their who life for somebody else. WOW? Who would do that? We have examples of this, the greatest example of unconditional love is 耶稣, who gave his life and died for all people.

Please be careful about movies - they "suggest" ideas to you every time. They try to convince you how things are, but it's all twisted. I can see just from this movie how they twisted love.You will know if somebody loves you - not because of what they want to get from you, but by what they're willing to give or give up for you.
