In the film, he dies, and the two cannot continue their love.
But that love always receives a dose of ‘Phoenix Down’ (a revival medicine in role-playing games) whenever Shallow resounds beneath this sky.
Onstage, of course, there is her, and the other person—“no one else can sing this song with me, only you, Bradley.” At that moment, the world contains only 2 people.
The world looked at them, and every other sound ceased to matter. People speculated and waited for him to leave his girlfriend to be with her.
But he will not do that, and not because his lover is also a breathtaking beauty.
But because in the film, he succeeded once in leaving his love for her, in the physical sense, through death.
Films are like life. Life is like sh—oops, like films.
So in real life, he also left that love, and his character also ‘died’ at the very moment the final note of Shallow sounded.
Although they must “revive” and “die” repeatedly like this, as long as another chance remains, they will always sing Shallow beneath the stage lights and this sky.
As with this latest moment at the 2019 Oscars.
Love is like a tooth: decay hurts, but no one wants to be toothless.
For a Vietnam… oh, I mean, for a Tuesday that feels romantic.
