“Before Trilogy: Love Over Time.”:
The three films of “Before Trilogy: Long Over Time” portrayed a more realistic view of love compared to the often unrealistic view of love that is portrayed in many movies. The first film starts off with two people meeting and falling in love on a train in Vienna, Austria. The couple then choses to spontaneously get off the train together to be able to spend more time with one another but at the end of the day the have to go their separate ways. The second film then fast forwards 9 years where their paths meet again but now both have changed and matured/grown in the past years. Their love again is rekindled but in the next film which is fast forwarded 9 years, shows the rough patches that the couple went through. The third film showcases the hardships of a relationship and how sometimes a couple’s connecting may fade and one may not feel the same love they once felt as time goes on. It also portrays the trying one may do to rekindle a dying flame.
“Love as Valuing a Relationship.”:
“Love as Valuing a Relationship”, Niko Kolodny talks about why people fall in love and challenges the way most people think about love. Kolodny explains three reasons that someone would fall in love , the first one being what motive one has, then what mental or physical state one is in for example are they mentally or physically capable to fall in love? The last reason was if the person had a significant title to that person like if they were their parent, grandparent or sibling. This approach to love challenges how most people think and how love is portrayed in our society and in movies.
Compare and Contrast:
When comparing “Before Trilogy: Love Over Time” and “Love as Valuing a Relationship”, we see that “Before Trilogy: Love Over Time” portrays love in a very realistic way where we see how two people in love simply because of fate and how sometimes there are rough patches and challenges that come with time. While in “Love as Valuing a Relationship” portrays that one can have different types of love for a person and that not all love is the same. Each love here is based on one’s motive , title and mental/physical status.
Personal Experience:
In my life I relate more to Kolodny’s description of love and how one can have different types of love for different people. I do feel like the love that I show myself is often different that what I show others and I often realize that sometimes I show other’s more love than I show myself because of their significance for example I would do anything for my family probably more than I would do for myself. I also realize the love that I have for my friends is very similar to the love I have for my family but yet is not exactly the same in all aspects. For example I may be closer to one of my friends than a family member at times or I may do something for my family member that I wouldn’t do for my friends.
