Maybe This is What "Thank You, Next" Means
The mood. The warmth. The realistic story. I've watched I Fell in Love Like A Flower Bouquet (2021) for several times. This film never failed to impress me. I couldn't say it is a film with good or bad ending. The main characters looked happy and content at the end. I'm happy for both of them, but also sad for the unexpected part. After watching it for the first time, I got mixed feeling. I was kinda overwhelmed. So that's why I write this out.
We used to love each other. We used to count on, talk to, smile to, meet with, and share affection with each other. We used to be lover. We used to be partner, fellow, companion, soulmate, and go-to person. We used to be together for a long time, but now we're running out of time. We grow to find out ourselves change, stop, and realize we're much different that we don't deserve each other. We are not the same as we were.
The gap. The change. The hug. They showed me that falling in love is beautiful moments in life, but the moments are nothing more than just a part of life. The other part is changes. Some changes create the gap. They grow older and know much better about reality of being an adult. Someone on the internet said they have economical gap, so that's why their thoughts become so different at the end. But it's not only about the money, but also their priority. They set new version of self priority to the point they realize their perspective has the gap. The gap they couldn't tolerate any longer as a couple. They see about love differently, they get emotional gap. At the time they realize they become different as they were, they realize they couldn't much longer stay together, they hug each other. Hug for the pain, the tears, and the memories. As part of life as well, life must go on. Life must go on with or without beautiful moments. By moving on, they actually just overcome the next part of their beautiful moments.
Saying good bye is not the hardest part, starting over without you is. But that's not impossible to happen. Living without you is pretty much possible. We were fine together back then and we are fine on our own now.
The grief of break up is not shown so much. But it doesn't mean there is no one hurts. They both just know what suit them better, who deserve them the best. They couldn't count on each other again and they accept that fact. Instead of forcing or waiting for better love to happen, they choose the separated way, place, and feeling. They just decide who's more meant to be with their own.
We had many similar interests, but since life seemed no more turning around work-film-fiction book-animation-repeat, we just figured out different essential meaning of happiness and living and love and peace and it turned out to be our ending, and that was fine. I fell in love like a flower bouquet. Exactly like a flower in bouquet, it just dried up in time, and that was fine.
