Midnight Park City is still not completely quiet, the streets are not noisy and crowded during the day, but there are still many fans wandering in the streets. Watching midnight is a special experience for real professional fans. Even if it's just a special experience, it's also a good idea to have a look.
Tonight, the snowflakes of Park City are falling down again. Under the blue moonlight, the quiet town adds a little chill. The slightest sound is magnified invisibly. The bustling sound at the gate of the cinema reverberates in the open streets and snow.
Eli walach walked out of the screening hall, shivering with the cold air, then stretching the collar of his coat reflexively, trying to absorb a little warmth. But the loneliness and loneliness wandering between the eyebrows could not be removed. He only felt that his hands and feet were cold.
He knew that it was cold in his heart, as if the temperature was pulling away from his heart bit by bit.
Eli finally got what he wanted and watched the movie "crazy love". Because of the long queues during the day, he couldn't get tickets at all, so he had to step back and watch the midnight show. Even in the middle of the night, the attendance rate of the film is still more than 80%, which is a rare event in the Sundance Film Festival.
However, he is not sure whether his decision is right now, because he does not know whether he should watch the film. He is full of bitterness and loneliness. He can't cry when he wants to cry, and can't shout when he wants to. Even standing in the screening Hall of the cinema, he feels cold everywhere.
There was a dull and depressing sob in her ear. Eli instinctively looked up and saw a girl standing obstinately in the same place, constantly wiping the tears on her cheek. A boy stood beside her and quietly comforted her, "in the end, they are still together, aren't they? After all, they overcame all difficulties and embraced each other, didn't they? "
Girls are shaking their heads, unwilling to speak, stuffy cry let a burst of sad. She took two deep breaths in succession. "Do you know why I like this movie? I know you don't like it. " The boy tried to explain, but the girl shook her head and interrupted him, "it's normal. I'm not angry."
With tears in her eyes, the girl pressed her lower lip tightly and said firmly, "I like it not because I saw our shadow in it, but because Jacob and Anna missed each other after all, and the physical distance became the psychological distance after all. They still love each other, but they have to let go after all. Do you know why Anna finally flew to Los Angeles? "
The boy dropped his head and sighed, "because they all want to work harder, because..." the last half sentence didn't go on.
The girl nodded, tears fell down again, "just like us."
The girl looked up at the boy with tears in her eyes. She didn't say a word. The stubbornness and despair in her eyes were on the verge of collapse; The boy's eyes are full of bitterness. He holds the girl in his arms and tightens his arms, but he can't say a word.
Eli now finally understood what the bitterness of the tip of his tongue was: real, it was too real. It's hopelessly real.
There are countless realistic films, not to mention those reflecting war, disaster and crime. Even other types of films are more cruel, bloody and terrifying than "crazy love"“ Love crazy "such a small pattern of small stories can only be said to be sprinkling water.
But the reality of "crazy love" is unique. There is no excessive exaggeration, no excessive drama, complete reality, which is also the biggest difference between "crazy love" and "blue Valentine's Day".
"Blue Valentine's Day" deliberately magnifies the mixed emotions deeply involved in the marriage. Under the magnifying glass, every emotional detail becomes lifelike and cruel with a trace of blood. But this kind of treatment, more or less with artistic techniques, rooted in reality, but also divorced from reality.
"Crazy love" is different. The real sense of reality is like a blade on the skin. Even the sharp edge of the blade and the stinging pain of the pores are so clear. It reminds people of the movie "squid and whale". It's not art, it's not film, it's real life.
It is precisely this reality that draws the audience from the fantasy of the film to the reality. The sense of powerlessness slowly infiltrates into the blood along the pores, making people unable to extricate themselves.
It's like... It's like this couple. Eli didn't know their story, but he could feel the bitterness in them, just like Jacob and Anna.
This kind of film is never popular.
Because it is too real, as if a mirror, reflects their own life, the interpretation of their own life. No one wants to see his life falling apart and broken on the big screen, and no one wants to see other people peep into his life. The reality, which is irrefutable and abhorrent, makes the viewing process a kind of torment.
If movies are the same as life, why watch movies? Just live your life, right?
Eli droops his shoulders wearily. He has never experienced such a long-distance love, or such an unforgettable love that ends in nothing. The movie is like a story unrelated to him, but the picture of Jacob and Anna at a party in London constantly comes to his mind, and he doesn't know why. The embarrassment and bewilderment of the outsider on Jacob's body was like a heavy fist, which hit his stomach hard and almost vomited.
So Eli sat down in the chair beside him, trying to breathe.
"'crazy love ' Next to him came a voice of inquiry. Eli turned his head. Next to him was a man in his early 30s, with a face full of scum and disorderly hair. He was unconsciously fiddling with a wool cap in his hand, and a tired smile on the corner of his mouth.
With such a simple sentence, Eli understood the meaning and nodded in affirmation. Then I saw the man chuckling, but the corners of his mouth could hardly outline, "I don't like this movie. Strictly speaking, I don't like chick movies like this. Crying, procrastinating and groaning are so mean
Eli opened his mouth, tried to explain a few words, but found that he couldn't say a word.
Then Eli saw the man's shoulder droop down, there was no sound, but Eli inexplicably saw a faint sadness on the tired shoulder, "but..." the man said softly, the corner of his mouth showed a radian, some absurd, and some helpless, "but it's good."
Eli nodded in agreement.
"As fanatical as you are in love, you should be. Because in the long years to come, every quarrel, misunderstanding and estrangement will make the heat drop bit by bit. Before we realize it, our arms have become cold. Do you know why Jacob and Anna can hold on so long? It's because they really love each other so much that the heat is enough to melt everything. But one day, one day... "
The man's voice suddenly quieted down, ear came outside the cinema whir wind, large snowflakes flying up, a cold.
I only heard the man sigh and sigh. Words do not finish, but it is better than countless. Sometimes, language is too weak.
"Have you never thought it was Jacob's fault?" A voice of sadness and indignation rang in her ears. A young woman of 25 or 6 years old stopped in front of Eli, her eyes burning with indelible anger. "If Jacob had followed Anna in the summer in London at the beginning, nothing would have happened, would it?"
There was a bitter smile in the corner of Eli's mouth. He nodded and looked up to the sky and sighed, "yes. If so, maybe the ending will be different. Maybe, they can't even hold on for so many years, and all their enthusiasm will be extinguished in the rainy summer of London. "
"Why do you say that? Jacob didn't want to go to London because he didn't love deeply enough! Men are always asking women to pay, and women are always compromising. Why does no one condemn men's selfishness
Instead of getting angry, Eli nodded in agreement. "That's it. When a relationship is over, we always want to find the roots. If we had done so, would the result have been different? If that doesn't happen? What if you choose another option when you're wobbling? "
The woman looked at Eli angrily, but Eli was not moved. She still said, "we can find out every bit in the process of communication and try them one by one. If, countless if, we always try to find out whose fault it is. It seems that as long as we solve the mistakes, everything can be recovered. But is that really the case? "
The woman opened her mouth, and the voice of "yes" whirled around the tip of her tongue. She wanted to accept it directly, but after turning and turning, she swallowed it and drooped her shoulders dejectedly. She thought of Jacob and Anna's quarrel in the kitchen, and of every couple's quarrel.
"I don't like this movie. I think this movie is just moaning without illness! It's just a love story of two young people. They have to live and die there. Don't they have anything else to do? Such a movie is a waste of time
"I don't like it either. Both of them are too bad. They can make the right choice, but they are always selfish and miss it. It's just Britain going to the United States. It's very dangerous. What about the Middle East countries? Women don't even have the right to choose their husbands on their own! "
"Me too. I don't like it."
……
"But it's a good performance, isn't it?"
