Farewells are always something that tears at our hearts. These make us wish that we would never have to go through with these painful events. Saying goodbye to a loved one at the airport has become famous in movies. They try to portray the deep emotions that touch us. We cannot help but cry as two lovers go their separate ways, never to see each other again as it happened in films like Casablanca. Seeing somebody off can really change the way we view them. Old friends or lovers change in our minds as we realize we will no longer see them again. This can only contrast as we reencounter those we have long been separated from. Returning to the same airport, we feel joyful. This is because we see someone who has been gone for such a long time. There, we can renew old acquaintances and catch up on all the things we missed. We can also share in old memories. We look for the old characteristics of the people we know and love. These times are filled with emotion, which is why those movies which effectively show it become classics.

分别一直是让我们撕心裂肺的事。没有人愿意品味这种痛苦。跟自己深爱的人在机场道别已经成为电影中著名的场景。他们试图通过渲染这种气氛来感动我们。在电影《北非谍影》中,当两个相爱的人各奔东西,彼此再也无法见面时,我们都会情不自禁地落泪。和某人的分别的确能改变我们对他们的看法。当我们意识到再也无法见到他们的时候,故友或爱人在我们的脑海中的形象就改变了。这只能和我们重逢长久不见的故人相比较。回到同一个机场,我们很开心,因为我们见到了离开许久的人。在那里,我们重遇故知,追忆所有我们想念的事物。我们还可以分享旧时的记忆。我们找寻我们所了解和喜爱的人原本的性格。这些时光充满了情感,这就是那些充分展现分别与重逢场景的电影可以成为经典的原因。
