“Would you still love me if I didn’t have my money?”
“I love you the way you are, with your money…”
The Lover (1992) is a story of a 15 year old french girl (played by english actress Jane March) in Vietnam, who has an older, wealthy chinese man fall for her (note, she does not fall in love with him, he does) and has a steamy affair with him.
The gist of this film was, like most men born in money, the chinese fella was looking for, and hoping, that she loves him ‘for himself and not for his parent’s money’.
Whereas, the girl, given her upbringing in a very poor & broken family, cannot help but look at him as the ‘guy with lots of money who can solve her problems’,
Cannot blame the man, cannot blame the girl, for they both were what they could be in the given situation.
Him: “would you still love me if I didn’t have money?”
Her: “I love you for who you are, with your money…”
