Retratos de um Amor (2023)

When the laughs… the Ahhh’s and Ohhhh’s turn to a silent cry

When the laughs… the Ahhh’s and Ohhhh’s turn to a silent cry and some sense of somehow… Belongingness.
Don’t we all Loved and Lost despite hoping that it would last?
The movie hit some sensitive spot in my being.
TBH if I knew ahead of time I would’ve prepare myself.
So, Trigger Warning to those who experienced/witnessed their parents drifting apart etc. ( I don’t wanna elaborate too much but prepare a lot of tissue and remember to breathe, so if you’re the type of person that can be easily affected by what they’re watching.. please have a friend with you.) The movie will take you to a journey!
I love how the story unfold and how in a short screen-time, the director was able to show us, or let us experience rather! to be the one’s wearing their shoes. Impeccable acting from all characters. Sunny and Araya, no doubt are on of the best Thai Actors out there, but let me introduce Becky Armstrong. This kid has a chill way of acting that it’s so natural that you’d just find yourself feeling her disgust, her pain, her sadness! I just found myself laughing and crying on her scenes.
I’ve been a fan on how Thai movies can show nostalgia in this captivating melancholic, cinematic way! And Long Live Love took me to this amazing ride. (I’ll keep myself from saying too much on this, i would love for you to experience that on your own)
So, please go and check out this movie if it’s available in your area!

Long Live Love to me is a movie that you’d want to always go back to from time to time.
Much more a christmas movie! Or one of those movie we watch for comfort.
I think it’s a really good family movie, or even if your at a stage where you’re about to start one.

A tale of guilt, regrets, self-discovery and self-love

I loved everything about this movie. I watched without any expectations and thought it would just be another cliché romcom but it’s actually something that has more depth and meaning to it.

This movie has a cohesive flow and the flashbacks really do take us back along with the main character of his self-discovery. And along with it, you will also feel what the main character is feeling (regret, guilt, sadness, etc). It also makes you understand his family’s feelings too. I cried along with the wife when he confessed about cheating, when he rediscovered the time they really argued and called it quits. That scene was chef’s kiss! That ending was exceptional too! I’m happy that even though they gave him a redemption arc, the wife still chose to love herself more after everything she’s been through. It was the perfect ending for me.

The casting was done pretty well too. Sunny and Araya are of the same age and Becky looks just like their kid. I’ve watched a couple of Sunny’s works and that man can deliver! He also registers really good on-screen. He’s aging like a fine wine. I have watched Araya in another comedy movie so I know she can pull of comedy but she blew me away with her dramatic acting skills in this. I watched Becky as a side character from BLs and I can say she really improved her acting too.

Overall, I would recommend people to watch this because it conveys a great message and the movie was done amazingly too.

best closure (?)

They're perfect for each other, yet their imminance love ending hurt each other so bad.

they are so good together, idk why things turned out the way they were. i feel sorry for meta and glad that she's so brave to face reality and make peace for herself.

is it just me or i don't feel a single sympathy for suti like (?) maybe in the end he's redeeming himself but what he done to his family is can't be undo so idk its just not enough

i hope through this movie women out there whose life in shamble bcs their significant other, Will take a look at their self and prioritize their happiness more because before they were wives, mothers, they are themselves
