## Why did I want to watch it?
Ahhhhh, el amor!
## What did I get out of it?
ÂżPero cĂłmo pongo yo en palabras lo que he sentido viendo esta pelĂcula? ÂżCuánto habrĂ© llorao? ÂżCĂłmo de pasmado habrĂ© dejado al [[Humber]]?
Tiene este rollo de [[El significado en la vida viene en instantes de belleza]], como [[Six feet under]] pero a través del amor como fuente primordial del sentido.
>...as one gets older, one’s fears subside. What becomes more and more important is to be known — known for all that you were during this brief stay. How sad it seems to me to leave this earth without those you love the most ever really knowing who you were
Cuántas vidas se le acumulan a esta madre de familia ([[Meryl Streep]]), muerta del aburrimiento, sedienta de cuidados, en los cuatro dĂas de affair que pasa con Robert ([[Clint Eastwood]]).
> It isn't human not to be lonely and it isn't human not to be afraid.
>**ROBERT:**Â I don't know if I can do this, you know.
**FRANCESCA:**Â What?
**ROBERT:**Â Try to cram in a whole lifetime between now and Friday.
Le deja ir, no se va con Ă©l. Me ha partido por la mitad cĂłmo le ve irse por el camino de su casa y como luego más tarde, con su familia ya de vuelta, mira ese camino vacĂo. Cuántos hemos mirado el camino por el que vimos irse a una persona que supimos que ya no iba a volver.
Hacia el final, cuando ella le ve a él en el ultramarinos, desde el coche de su marido, cogiendo la manecilla de la puerta a punto de salir pero finalmente no lo hace...
> We are the choices we make.
Y esos choices fueron montar una familia (que destruirĂa si se va) pero tambiĂ©n el conocimiento de que esos cuatro dĂas son una fantasĂa... Luego habrĂa una vida del dĂa a dĂa que no serĂa asĂ. Pero se queda con esos 4 dĂas de belleza para el resto de su vida.
> FRANCESCA: But you never think... you never think love like this is going to happen to you
> ROBERT: But now that you have it...
> FRANCESCA: Ah! Now what I want to keep it forever. I want to love you the way I do now for the rest of my life, but... if we leave, we lose it. And I can't make an entire life disappear to start a new one. All I can do is try to hold on to both of us somewhere inside of me. You have to help me.
> But love won't obey our expectations. Its mystery is pure and absolute. What Robert and I had, could not continue if we were together. What Richard and I shared would vanish if we were apart. But how I wanted to share this. How would our lives have changed if I had? Could anyone else have seen the beauty of it?
Se hace muy amiga de una pariah del pueblo (pariah porque efectivamente tuvo una aventura pero la pillaron).
Es tristĂsimo cuando su marido ya muchos años más tarde está en el lecho de muerte y le dice:
> I'm sorry Francis. I know you had dreams of your own. I'm sorry I couldn't give them
> to you.
Y las palabras finales a tus hijos, sobre ellos esparciendo sus cenizas:
> Do what you need to, to be happy in this life. There is so much beauty.
