Hope wants to close her eyes. Three minutes after the movie starts, she wants to close her eyes. The claustrophobic fear and desperate panic firmly grasp the heart and make people want to crack.
In particular, the ubiquitous darkness of the entire screening hall surrounded her like a tide, leaving only the bright and cold light of the large screen, which magnified the immersive feeling to the extreme. The rhythm of the pulse kept a high consistency with Paul in the film screen, and the suffocation swept in.
However, hope doesn't want to close her eyes, even blinking is luxury, every picture reveals a strong sense of reality and shock, firmly grasp her emotions, can't relax for a second.
In a trance, she even forgot that the man on the screen was lanli, an ordinary person trapped in a desperate situation but struggling to survive. It might be Paul Conroy, or everyone present. Her strong sense of survival penetrated through the screen and injected into her blood.
The whole viewing process is too cruel, too exciting, too tight, even more thrilling than the roller coaster.
After Paul finished recording the will video, he quietly looked at the cluster of flames on his chest. His expression was peaceful and quiet. It was like lying in a pile of soft pillows with hot milk in his hand and a lot of snacks beside him. The children's laughter and his wife's nagging were around his ears. He was bathed in the lazy sunshine in the afternoon and enjoyed the moment's leisure, It's also a moment's luxury.
Finally, hope could not help but cover his mouth. He looked at the big screen with tears in his eyes and was at a loss.
They can always see the relevant news on TV or in the newspaper, "there was an armed conflict in Iraq, three soldiers were killed and 17 soldiers were injured in the shooting confrontation", or "a civilian was kidnapped in Afghanistan, the kidnappers asked for $10 million ransom, but the white house refused to compromise with the terrorists"
Every time they saw the news, they would feel sad and indignant, even furious, and they would seek justice for the victims; But more often, they just sigh and sigh, because it's too far away from them, because it's just a stranger, because they can't imagine how cruel the situation on the ground is.
But now, through the big screen, they can clearly see the process of "death" and "kidnapping", and watch a person step by step towards the end of his life, which is even more terrible than electrocution, as if their hands were covered with blood, and they were in it like Buddha themselves.
The shock from the deep soul, in Paul Conroy's calm smile with a touch of happiness, burst to the extreme, easily destroyed the psychological defense of every audience.
Will he be saved? He should be saved, right? Can he be saved? It's a movie, isn't it? A Hollywood invested movie? In Hollywood's works, the theme always runs through, and the ending is always happy and happy. The white house singing heroism can always turn the tide at the last moment and reshape the tall image of the American emperor, can't it?
As never before, hope is looking forward to a stereotyped, disgusting, stereotyped ending. This belief is the only driving force for her to continue to see. Otherwise, it's too cruel. She really can't open her eyes.
But hope was disappointed.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
The last ray of the flashlight was extinguished, and the solemn and grand melody was also cut off. Everything fell into peace, and the whole projection hall was completely in the dark, and the darkness was out of sight. The movie, it's over.
Hope was stunned in the same place. He widened his eyes and looked at the big screen. He even forgot to breathe. His tears of joy still stayed on his eyelashes and didn't fall. But he was stiff in his seat, just like a porcelain doll who lost his soul.
There was no sound in my ear, as if the whole cinema had become an empty city, leaving no soul. This silence was like the ice and snow in the Arctic circle. The cold bit by bit penetrated into the skin, eating away the temperature of the body, slowing down the blood and heartbeat, as if the vitality was slowly disappearing. This slow and profound feeling of drowning, Even worse than despair.
The movie, it's over.
However, no one in the screening hall got up to leave. Everyone sat quietly in the same place, watching the subtitles rolling up slowly. Even their eyes couldn't move, and their brains were completely staring at each other, unable to move.
Make complaints about Edith's deep sigh. "This guy is really... What a movie he is playing. It's so exciting that there's P't breathing space. I want to pretend to be a little bird and get into the arms of the man next to me, but I can't find the time. It's so disappointing. He might as well play a little chick movie, sell handsome, sell cute, isn't that good? Occasionally I take off my coat and sell my abs. Damn it. Why do you have to suffer so much? "
Edith raised her right hand and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her trembling fingertips revealed her true emotions. However, soon she curled up her fingertips and covered up all her emotions. Take a breath, but her chest is still dull, which makes Edith's eyes have a moment of absence, seems to be in the mood of the film, and seems to be in her own mood.
Under the cover of darkness, no one can find out.
The light in the projection hall lights up slowly, and Edith's mood under her eyes is fleeting. Her usual rebellious and arrogant mood is restored. Even her delicate makeup is not damaged, as if the film just now has no influence at all.
Hope turned his head blankly, looked around, but there was no focus and focus at all, only a hazy nothingness. Finally, he looked at his little friend sitting next to him, "bill, is the movie not over yet? He'll be saved, won't he? There are colored eggs in the back, aren't there? "
William sat down in his chair, and the shock of the tide could not stop. Now he was in the stage of unable to think and hard breathing, as if he could feel the vast silence and boundlessness in his soul. He never knew that the original performance could be so simple but so shocking, and the original film could be so simple but so profound, It turns out that the reality can be so cruel and desperate at the same time
Hearing the sound, William turned his head and looked at hope, but the fuzzy focus was always unable to find the target, just floating empty and sad.
"Hope..." Graham cried.
He wanted to say that the movie is over and life is over. That's the reality. Behind those heroic dreams, there are more innocent lives dying out. Just like those terrorist attacks, unless their familiar family and friends are involved in them, some of them are just a bunch of figures on the news, without real sense.
However, the voice was stuck in his throat, Graham was choked by his own saliva, hot tears suddenly fell down, a sense of sadness arises.
It's a thriller movie, a one-man movie with small cost and small pattern, a movie with simple story and simple connotation, but it firmly grasps the heartstrings of every audience, with ups and downs, which is irresistible. The whole process of watching the film may be a torment, or a pleasure. The mixed taste of the full but sudden stop is disgusting and irresistible.
After sight, I saw that the warning light at the exit was on, and a staff member came in, as if to remind everyone that it was time to leave. After a while, some people began to stand up, and the quiet projection hall finally recovered a little noisy vitality.
"Hey, everybody's still here." The passer-by raised his voice and yelled, but the plain words in the quiet screening hall were like thunder on the ground, attracting everyone's attention in an instant.
Hope raised his head, and then saw the figure walking leisurely to the center of the projection hall. Like a pool of stagnant water, his eyes burst out a ray of light, gradually and slowly dispelling all the haze, and the whole person brightened up. It's Langley.
"Young master!" Hope could not bear it at last. He blurted out.
Langley was stunned. At that moment, he had the illusion of returning to London, but he quickly responded and nodded to hope with a smile. "I just realized that you came here specially to watch the midnight show, which is undoubtedly the best affirmation for the film. Not to mention whether you like the movie or not... "
Before Lan Li's words were finished, William cried with all his strength, "I like it!" Then other people yelled, "super like it", "I love it", "I'm crazy about it", "it's really exciting", "what's the end"... The sound of one after another filled the screening hall, which was very lively.
The smile from the corner of lanli's mouth rose slightly. "I decided to believe it was true. Although you always say something against your will because of the actors on the scene. " "The director and other members of the crew didn't come here tonight, so on behalf of the crew, I came here to thank you for your support. Thank you."
This is lanli's spontaneous action. He clearly knows what the midnight scene stands for. No matter what the audience's attitude is, watching the film is down-to-earth, which is good news for independent films.
"Buried alive" is a low-cost independent film. We don't have much money to promote it, so today I specially brought the whole "speed and passion 5" crew to help promote it; Next, it's your turn. " Lanli's half true and half false words were full of ridicule and banter, and the laughter of the whole audience could not stop.
"The party is still a short time away. I can stay here for a while. Is there anyone who wants to ask questions?" Lan Li tentatively asked, but didn't expect that the whole audience held up a large number of arms, which was very spectacular. Lan Li picked his eyebrows and jokingly said, "Wow, I hope I won't be late for the party for a while."
