"Take it away or drink it here?"

Elizabeth Weitzman was stunned, "Take it away." She had just watched the evening screening of "Crazy Love". It was already half past ten in the evening, and she had to rush back to write a film review.

As a film critic for the "New York Times", she must remain calm and objective, and make an evaluation of the film. However, after watching the screening of "Love Is Crazy" in the afternoon, her thoughts were always in chaos, unable to sort out a clear line of thought.

The story told by this movie seems to be extremely simple, but it is extremely complicated when it comes to meticulous details. Those trivial details give the movie a unique texture, which is reminiscent of "5oo days with Summer" and "Blue". The two films of "Love Valentine's Day". But as far as Elizabeth is concerned, she prefers "Love Is Crazy".

However, she is also not sure whether it is because this movie awakens her memories of her last relationship, or because everything in this movie is too real, blurring the boundary between reality and illusion, and losing her judgment. Up the standard. Although she is a film critic, she is a normal person at first.

She tried to calm down, strip her emotions, and write film reviews, but the turbulent thoughts could not stop at all. As long as she was quiet for a while, the fragments from the movie would appear in her mind, fragmented fragments, incomplete, that violent The mood is breathless.

The result of being bored in the hotel room for three hours: I couldn't write a word.

This feeling is not uncommon. Many classic movies can bring such shocking repercussions. This is also one of the greatest charms of movies, calling for resonance and storming thoughts. When she first watched "2oo1 A Space Odyssey" that year He was stunned for a full three minutes without regaining his senses. After going back, I thought about it over and over for a week, and then watched the movie six times. I clearly understood it, but the reflection of my mind could not stop at all.

Thinking of this, Elizabeth gave a ridiculous smile. She actually compared "Love Crazy" with "2oo1 Space Odyssey", which is really ridiculous. But the fact is, she really can't calm down. So she went to the cinema again, ready to watch the movie for the second time.

In the afternoon, the tickets were quickly sold out, and she could only wait for the third night after dinner.

Five minutes ago, the movie watching had just ended, and the bitterness and emptiness that echoed in the chest still didn't get much relief. However, my thoughts finally sorted out a bit, after all, this is not a brain-burning movie. To be precise, this is a movie as simple as a white shirt, but it really touched her.

It's been a long time, it's been a long time, the last time she had such mixed thoughts was... Brokeback Mountain. Yes, it's Brokeback Mountain. Of course, the degree of completion of "Crazy Love" is not as high as that of "Brokeback Mountain", but the two films are one thing the same, too beautiful, but also too cruel.

How should she write a film review?

"This is Jacob's fault, I tell you, it's because he doesn't love it deeply enough! Otherwise, he should go to London! He should abandon everything in Los Angeles and go to London!"

"That's not the case! If Jacob doesn't love it deeply, will he take the initiative to call Anna? Will he fly to London because of Anna's words?"

"Then why doesn't he want to go there? Anna confessed in the beginning. He is an otaku who no one likes, so he can't wait to nod and agree. His love has never been as deep as Anna!"

"You didn't pay attention to watching movies, you didn't pay attention to watching!"

"Where did I not pay attention? What I said is the truth!"

"No, you didn't hear Jacob's subsequent dialogue. He worked hard. He has flown to London many times. He and Anna applied for visas together and tried to find the possibility of the exhibition together, but they all failed! Jacob's Hard work, never less than Anna!"

"Then why doesn't he go to London?"

...

A couple walked into the coffee shop, and the girl and the boy started arguing. Obviously, the girl is the one who fights the injustice for Anna.

The smile at the corner of Elizabeth's mouth can not help but rises slightly. This is why she likes movies-it can always build a bridge of communication between people, and process the realistic, realistic, and artistic stories. Become a medium for people to explore the spiritual world and real life.

Yeah, why didn't Jacob go to London?

Elizabeth couldn't help asking herself this question, or even further, "Yeah, why didn't I want to move from Manhattan to Brooklyn?"

It's like the movie "Squid and Whale". In fact, distance and time have never been the greatest enemies of love, but we can’t find the answer, so we put the blame on each other, put the fault on the distance and time, and then continue to live with peace of mind.

Even if it is not Los Angeles and London, just the distance between Manhattan and Brooklyn can tear two people apart, and even break up a family.

She suddenly understood and understood why she liked this movie so much, just like the dispute between the couple just now, because they were asking themselves the same question as the director; and because they were the same as Jacob and Anna. , All at a loss.

"Ms?"

Elizabeth heard the call, raised her head, took her coffee, but did not leave the coffee shop, but went straight to the seat next to her, took out her notebook, and started to tap.

"This is a heartbreaking, desperate and indescribable movie."

When she finished typing the first line of words, Elizabeth was in a moment of ecstasy. The eyes of Jacob in the last shot came to mind again, a bitterness came out on the tip of her tongue, she let out a long breath, and then her fingers Just hit it quickly on the keyboard.

"Drake Doremus tells a very simple story, simple enough to not tolerate redundant characters:

American young Jacob and British student Anna fell in love, but because Anna violated the visa stay agreement, was deported to London, refused to re-enter, two young couples who fell in love vigorously, but had to live in the Atlantic Both sides of the strait are trying to find a way back to the past.

The shots of the whole movie are extremely gentle, extremely sensitive, and extremely fragile, staying on these two young people, constructing a world. Undoubtedly, this is a very personal, very self, and very petty bourgeois story. The small script structure can hardly accommodate too much social weight, and it is completely settled in the love life of two young people.

Therefore, when people hear this story, it is often easy to make intuitive judgments——

Why couldn't Jacob go to London, and then he and Anna started a new life in London? Or, why can't two people get married and then reunite with a marriage visa? Or, why can't two people go to another country and start a new life? Or is it that two people can't just end there, liberate each other and liberate themselves?

Things seem to be very simple, there are countless solutions, and any one of them may end in completely different directions. However, "Love Is Crazy" uses this series of "Why" to explore a sense of belonging.

Why do people fall in love with someone? Are we falling in love with that person, or the time, place, and moment of that person’s appearance.

People always think that there is the most special "that person" in this world, and they are looking for it, but perhaps, such a "that person" has never existed.

There are tens of thousands of "a person" around life. At a special time and a special place, a person happens to appear, close at hand and within reach, so he will think that this is the "that person", so , The moth fell in love with the fire.

But in fact, what is special is not "a person", but time, place and feeling, making "a person" become "that person". Does that mean that at another time, place and feeling, another "person" can also become "that person"?

In the depths of memory, there is always a person who cannot be replaced. People always have the illusion that this is'that person', but perhaps what we miss is not'that person', but the beauty and lost youth that we have lost. , And the past that can’t go back~www.novelhall.com~ People often think that they are deeply in love with someone. Sometimes, people just miss the self, the self who arrogantly and madly bloomed.

At that time, even if we finally recovered everything, that person is no longer the'that person'. At the moment we left, the'that person' is no longer the one in the memory, and we no longer ourselves. It was the previous one, and the similar feeling no longer exists.

Jacob refused to stay in London because he could not find a sense of belonging in that strange city; Anna was willing to go to Los Angeles because the land cherished her beautiful memories. However, Jacob chose Anna after all, and Anna chose Jacob after all, because they once belonged to each other, but they no longer belong to each other.

This is the most realistic and exciting core idea of ​​the whole movie. They once belonged to each other, they used to love each other deeply, and they still love each other deeply, but they finally missed that time, that place, that moment, so they also missed each other.

Cruel, bitter, sad, but real, and powerless. "

I picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. The bitterness of the espresso burst along the tip of the tongue, and even the heart was curled up. Elizabeth turned her head and looked out the window. Park City began to swell with snow. , The entrance of the movie theater was still very lively, a large crowd of spectators appeared busily in sight, ready to watch the midnight scene.

In the distance, the staff was taking away the poster template of "Crazy Love". Seeing this scene, Elizabeth's eyes surged with warmth. Tonight is another sleepless night.

Withdrawing her gaze, Elizabeth continued to tap on the computer. ()
