Today's second update, please recommend, please subscribe!

"One person can't remember, the other person can't forget" is the slogan on the "Mysterious Skin" poster. At the end of the movie, it sounded like a dull thunder in everyone's hearts.

It’s like a long dream, the blue light is like countless stars flickering in the dream, but I can’t find the exit, and I can only cry lonely in the space where blue and black are interlaced, “Help me. ”, only the echoes in this space responded, and the terrible loneliness was everywhere like the dust in the air. In an instant, I opened my eyes and woke up from a dream. The world has been vicissitudes, and before you know it, you have grown up. After ten years of sleep, it seems like a floating life.

In the summer of the age of eight, Neil and Brian slowly fell asleep. The next ten years were a boundless dream. Looking back at the ten years that followed, they found that they were at a loss. What happened during this time? What was done, what happened to the world, I don't know. Neil, like Brian, was ignorant, stumbled, and scarred during the ten years of growing up.

Neil is trying to forget the summer of the eight-year-old, but he can't get rid of the influence of that memory on him. He always misses that time, "I was the most special". So he ran wildly and wildly, looking for a little warmth to fill the hollow in this cold and cruel world. He seemed to be addicted to drugs, and he could never get rid of the brand that the coach left on him. When the world wounded him bloody, his eyes were blank, and he called out to his mother in a low voice, even the sound of crying could only be swallowed in his stomach.

His thin shoulders could not bear the weight of life.

Brian is trying to remember the summer when he was eight years old. Because the lost memory has been affecting his life, he will have a nosebleed in a coma, and when he wakes up, he can't remember what happened. He thought it was an alien. People are making trouble. So he recorded his dreams and life bit by bit, like a primary school student keeping a science diary, following the clues of memory to find his broken soul. When the five lost hours finally came back to his mind, his nose bleeds, his body trembles uncontrollably, and he wants to shout, but he can't. His pure brows left a deep black mark.

At the end of the story, when Neil and Brian leaned on each other, they finally found a partner in the empty dream world, they could snuggle up to keep warm, and they could be each other's support. **

There are very few movies that combine taboo elements such as masculinity, pedophilia, homosexuality, and AIDS without making it a selling point. If such a story is not handled well, it can easily become a dark and depraved movie, or a movie of moral judgment. However, in Evan Bell's lens, there is no judgment and criticism, there is no compassion, but the story of their growth is told through the perspective of the two boys. This growth story may not be magnificent, but the heart-wrenching scars are shocking.

The movie was over, and the subtitles kept sliding up, but the cinema was silent, without any sound.

Blake Lively tried to move her body, but she found that there was nothing she could do, because all her strength seemed to be drained, the tears on her face remained, but she did not continue to cry, but she could not mobilize any A shred of strength to make an action, even if it's just a finger movement. The heavy feeling on the screen made her have no ability to resist, and directly hit her soul.

At this time, Blake Lively understood why Evan Bell always said "walk faster" and "speak slower" at the scene. Because on the big screen, all details are enlarged, even Even the subtle gasps are so clear, and Evan Bell's performance to the actors is delicate to the details of turning, looking back, and looking. Now it seems that all of this has formed the magnetic field of the film, with a magical power from beginning to end, making people deeply immersed in it, moving people, and making people feel hurt. All kinds of tastes, only the audience knows it.

This is also the reaction of everyone at the scene. No one can make an exception. Some people burst into tears, their hearts are throbbing faintly, some people are speechless, the heavyness of life makes people sad, some people are expressionless, but the floating breathing reveals the tension in their hearts, some people are exhausted and unable to speak. , they need a little time to soothe, even just a little time...

The scars on Neil and Brian, both visible and invisible, seemed like whips slammed into everyone's heart. If the body is injured, it can be healed with medicine, but what about the injured heart? Nothing but time. Therefore, we can only savor the pain of heartbreak carefully, watch the wound heal, endure every minute and every second of pain, every bit of pain is magnified countless times, and every nerve is subjected to the most severe pain. test. This taste hurts into the bone marrow, and he opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't let out any screams.

Therefore, the scene was so quiet, and only the melodious piano sound drifted in the cinema. The subtitles moved slowly, the lights of the cinema slowly turned on, and the soft light dispelled all the darkness gradually. Almost everyone closed their eyes subconsciously, the light of this world is so dazzling at this moment.

Marco Muller stood up first, and he pushed his hands vigorously. Even though "Mysterious Skin" was chosen by him to be the opening film, he still had to be amazed by watching this film again. Excellent, there is no great enlightenment, no stormy waves, no ups and downs, no emotional explosion, but all this is handled by Evan Bell, through the pictures, colors, language, and characters, forming a delicate and moving story, which makes the apex of the heart. Trembling.

At this moment, the audience stood up in twos and threes and gave their own applause. The applause changed from weak to high, and gradually accumulated momentum. When Evan Bell walked to the front desk, it reached its peak and turned into thunderous applause, which decorated the projection hall of the Deco Theater beautifully. .

Standing at the forefront, Evan Bell smiled. Although he would not be lost in the applause, he knew that these applause was the greatest affirmation of his work. The applause lasted for three minutes. Evan Bell persuaded him twice in a row. As a result, the applause not only did not decrease, but became more enthusiastic. After finally waiting for the applause to stop, Evan Bell took the microphone and said, "Everyone's palms hurt, hurry up and rest." Immediately, the audience burst into laughter.

Evan Belt paused, then continued, "When I first read 'Mysterious Skin,' this story, I was actually very shocked, because between the lines, there was a huge force that made my The heart is torn into countless pieces. I'm thinking, what a terrible thing growing up is, how many somersaults, how much suffering, how many injuries we have to fall in the process of growing up, in order to complete the transformation. The pain of growth, It's an indelible memory in our memory, and that's going to be imprinted on our souls. So, there's this story, there's Neil's story, there's Brian's story."

The audience at the scene fell into silence, and with the words of Evan v Bell, everyone returned to the story that just ended, so heartbroken.

"When the movie is over, the silent three minutes just now is the real compliment to me, rather than the applause." Evan Bell said, "I don't want to tell any big truth through my camera, I just hope Telling this story of growth. As for what impression this story of growth leaves on the audience’s mind and what impact it has, I don’t care. Therefore, everyone is willing to be silent and think about this story quietly, which is the most important thing to me. Okay. Thank you."

After finishing speaking, Evan Bell bowed slightly to express his thanks, took the microphone and left. The audience at the scene fell into silence again. Obviously, the reflection and heaviness brought by "Mysterious Skin" to everyone has a long aftertaste.

When the movie was over, countless people came to the front to congratulate the crew, not only Evan Bell, but every other actor was surrounded by countless people, even Amanda Seyfried, who had the least part of the scene, won it. Lots of applause. This period of time is like flying through the clouds, people are shuttled, and unknowingly, the crowd is swept to the scene of the cocktail party.

"Mysterious Skin" is the opening film of the Venice Film Festival. After the screening, the reception was jointly held by the organizing committee and the crew. The small courtyard was full of people. Dieter Koslick, the chairman of the Berlin Film Festival, Jill Jacobs, chairman of the Cannes Film Festival, Joffrey Gilmer, the chairman of the Sundance Film Festival, and more than a dozen film festival chairmen all appeared on the scene.

In fact, although there is a competitive relationship between these film festivals, they are more often good friends, after all, they are all people in the film industry.

The chairman of the Sundance Film Festival, Joffrey V. Gilmer, seemed very enthusiastic and had been chatting with Evan Bell. He also mentioned that he wanted Evan Bell to be a judge at next year's Sundance Film Festival, but Evan -Bell didn't take it seriously, he just said with a smile that if he had a chance in the future, he certainly wouldn't miss it. However, looking at the expressions of the other chairmen, I was very impressed with Geoffrey Gilmer's idea, and Jill Jacobs, the chairman of the Cannes Film Festival, also ridiculed that "you were preempted...".

The reception continued until late at night, and the crowd still refused to leave. In this carnival day, no one wants to spend time lingering with the bed. At this time, it was windy in the middle of the night in Venice, and the roaring sea breeze blew the laughter here to every corner of Lido Island.

Movies are movies after all. They bring people reflection and spiritual entertainment. The stories of Neil and Brian are enough to stay in people's hearts. As for the stories on their faces, a smile is more appropriate.
