Not desperate for audience applause.

Really? You think "young love" is melancholy? How very sad you must be. Mr. Donica nailed it! He was full of the invincibility of young, positive, exuberant bravado of a man who thinks he has just found "the one." That is the interpretation that rings most true for me.
@tobiasstudtheol5 жыл бұрын
Both you are right. Love is always connected to melancholy at least if it comes to art. The most beautiful love songs ever (by John Dowland) where complete melancholies. If it comes to the human side, as which I would see the acting here, he is young and vibrant thinking he just met the one and only but is she? That will always be the question, will my partner be the right person for me.
