An isolated man is introduced to a groundbreaking system that allows users to step inside old photos — stirring powerful emotions in the process.
Okay, this episode can compete with the s07e03, the romantic one. I think that’s similar to the Christmas one, from some older season.
Very positive vibes. And a sad story of a lost love.
Or love lost. If there’s a difference.
I’ve seen a story like that, and I think they’re quite common. First, we don’t listen to each other, and then all the unhappy moments unfold. Jealousy, cheating (or even not cheating). Then we don’t speak, and — again — never listen. And then the life’s go on.
This phrase of his, they were together for 3 years and then he was a wreck for 15. But how old the daughter is? She looks — I don’t know — from 15 to 35? Maybe that’s irrelevant to the context.
I think that’s one of the best series of the show. It could overshadow even the Hotel one.
It shows us how important it is for us to listen to each other, and to actually talk, to not assume things. Assuming generates us the infinite amount of options, and we never know which one is the truth, so our chance at being wrong getting closer to infinity. Talking might limit these limitless possibilities.
The only question is, how long should we wait, if any? What’s best, to let the emotions fall, or avoid the situation when the wrong choices are made and people are no longer available for the talk, huh?
How much different all this to those who has no similar experience? I wonder.
This episode does not feel very romantic to me. It rather feels very … what’s the word for it? Very much from the real life. The love we both allowed to dry dead, when we both wanted to water it, but assumed the other party walked away with no intention to ever return. And so what’s the point to water just the soil? Never knowing she might plant a seed into that soil, just before she left. And she might wanted this to never end.
On the other hand … how many stories with the exactly opposite? With people not walking away when they clearly should?
How do we tell one from another?
There are plenty of stories with only one person glowing, and other not. How can we know?
Well. Except talking to each other.
