Chapter 169: One of the best endings
"Living here day in and day out, you think it's the center of the world, and you believe that nothing will ever change. But if you're away for a year, two years, when you come back, everything changes. You will find that everything is human, and everything that belongs to you is gone. ”
Alfedo told Duoduo that this was not a movie line, and that life was much more difficult than a movie, and he asked Duoduo to go to Rome to realize his dream.
After listening to Alfedo's words, Duoduo continued the ending of the story of "The Soldier and the Princess", saying that the reason why the soldier left on the ninety-ninth day was that if the princess did not abide by the agreement at the end of the hundred days, then the soldier would be heartbroken to death, so he avoided leaving on the ninety-ninth day without breaking his heart, and also let the princess remember that there was such a person.
I have to say that it is an enterprise-level understanding, and it can be seen that Duoduo is an excellent representative of the Chinese class, and a good bowl of poisonous chicken soup has been boiled into old chicken soup.
"Life is much harder than movies, yes, life is too hard. Guy couldn't agree more.
It is said that his new movie "Bad Taste" is very sadistic and full of despair, but before he wrote the script, he went to France to interview many sex workers in the 93rd arrondissement, and recorded the adaptation of real people and real events, and Guy still chose a less cruel case, and even Guy couldn't shoot the real cruelty to the end.
"Yes, there are no bad crops in the world, and there are no bad people, only bad croppers. Guy meditated on Agen's words.
Guy is a little distracted, but the plot continues to move forward, and Duoduo follows Alfedo's advice and prepares to take the train to Rome, and his mother and sister are very reluctant to see them off.
During the farewell, Alferdo told Duoduo, "Don't write back, don't look back, don't think about them", and if he can't do that, he won't let Duoduo into the house.
To sum it up with an old Chinese saying, either return to your hometown with honor or die in a foreign land.
Duoduo boarded the car and left, his mother and sister waved sadly, but Ai Feido sat expressionless and silent, he knew that he couldn't show a little reluctance, otherwise Duoduo would have some worries in his heart.
To say that Ai Feiduo is almost half of his father, he has watched Duoduo grow up since he was a child, and Duoduo has saved his life, so how reluctant he is can imagine.
If this period comes to this, in fact, there is no problem, and the emotions are very full in all aspects, but the famous director will push the emotions from ten to twelve points, and the priest who is late will come.
The camera is obvious, aiming at the priest who shouted "Duoduo" while running, and Ai Feido, who was silent like a stone, the priest's reluctance to shout Duoduo is equivalent to the realism of Ai Feido's heart, and the appearance of more priests makes some people smile and feel heavy at the end.
Many of the film critics present quickly wrote something, and professional film critics watched the movie more than three times and recorded it all the time, obviously feeling the emotional bond that pushed Duoduo and Alfedo, and the design was exquisite.
At the end of the episode, the camera shifts to a middle-aged man on the train, who returns from Rome to his hometown in Sicily to attend Efdo's funeral.
At home, my mother has always kept his room very well, those books, those posters, those films, everything is the same as it was at the beginning, as if it had retreated to the era when the movie theater was full and the whole town watched movies together.
Duoduo's eyes were full of reminiscence, and finally his eyes fell on the photo with Alfedo.
Duoduo turned on the camera that he used to hold in his hand to shoot around, played Elena's video, and looked at the former Elena.
Obviously, it can be regarded as an explanation of the foreshadowing ahead, the woman who began to sleep in the movie is basically determined to be just playing casually, and he still can't forget the Elena he liked when he was young for thirty years.
The funeral was held the next day as scheduled, the faint melody has always existed, and this part of the funeral was filmed with extreme restraint, there was not a single line in the whole process, only footsteps, and a group of people followed the hearse and walked in the front.
There is a scene that casually corresponds to the previous plot, and there was a movie theater in front of the front that broadcast the news of the front, and a list of sacrifices was announced, including Duoduo's father, so Duoduo's mother was sad when she found out, and led Duoduo to walk on the street.
But the five-year-old Duoduo didn't understand what it meant, so he was amused by the "Gone with the Wind" poster hanging on the wall on the road.
And the camera drove past the hearse, on the same wall, only the billboard was left, and the movie poster could no longer be seen.
It is obvious that the director deliberately suppressed emotions, otherwise there are a lot of ways to sensationalize, but even the portrait of Efedo is not revealed. Guy also likes to treat sad emotions coldly, so that the audience can't even cry.
In Guy's view, crying is a means of venting, so the biggest discomfort is that he can't cry.
The plot continues, Duoduo looks back at many familiar and strange people, the residents portrayed in the film more or less lightly or reluctantly, the uncle who won the lottery, the couple who likes to sprinkle dog food in the cinema, the man who sleeps, there is no sensationalism, just ordinary people's faces, all old, including Duoduo himself.
"Why are you called, I used to be your little brother. ”
"You're in a different status now, and if you don't mind, I can call Duoduo. ”
Duoduo had a conversation with the former theater owner, and it was also during the conversation that Duoduo learned that the New Paradise Cinema was going to be demolished to build a parking lot.
The New Paradise Cinema has become a dangerous building, and the dust inside is made up, and the place that was once the most familiar to him is not at all familiar to see the familiar scene.
The "lion head", which used to be majestic and turned into a fierce beast, has long lost its color.
The scene came to mind, the young Duoduo looked at the projection position at the back of the theater, the projection hole was decorated with a lion's head statue, Duoduo once looked at the dazzle and felt that the lion's head statue came to life, and was grinning at him.
Thinking of this, Duoduo covered his face and cried bitterly, perhaps remembering Alfedo's words in his heart, and when he came back after going out, he found that everything was wrong and that everything that belonged to you was gone.
Guy stared at the screen with his eyes like a torch, he felt that there was a shocking plot about to appear, he thought about the latest film that the young Duoduo showed before and only got one copy, it was the 1949 Italian film "Difficult Rice", Duoduo was away from home for 30 years, so the era in the movie was 1979, it was the late seventies.
"In the 70s and 80s, it was the era when television sets hit the cinema, and it was even more obvious in small towns, where residents didn't go to the cinema to watch movies with televisions, and there were still people in the city who went to the cinema because they were dating, so it was inevitable that the New Paradise Cinema would go out of business. ”
"On the surface, this film is about life choices, but it is actually an elegy for the golden age of cinema. "Guy can roughly think of the plot, but I don't know how Chu Shun will express it.
The most straightforward to come.
Chu Shun immediately replied with the plot.
Together with the townspeople, Duoduo witnesses the demolition of the New Paradiso Cinema.
"Boom" sounded.
Abandoned dusty theater collapsed, small place, not big scene, now entering any movie theater is bigger than it, Guy has also seen more than a dozen stories of high-rise buildings demolished, but he never felt at this moment, only felt very noisy, even too dusty, and wanted to call the Environmental Protection Bureau.
But at the moment of collapse in the movie, Guy feels like an era has been blown up.
Including the death of Efedo in front, a one-time catharsis!
"I thought it was going to be a conversation or something. ”
Guy thinks that the elegy of showing the golden age may be a conversation between Duoduo and the owner of the cinema, expressed through the embarrassment that the cinema owner used to charter the Linzhen Cinema and is now living in poverty, but he really didn't expect to destroy the last afterglow, or the last remnant?
"Today's young directors are too bad, they just don't want things with memories to stay. Although Guy was full of emotions, his attention still did not take his attention off the plot.
In the movie, the former residents are motionless looking at the dust raised by the collapse, some people have a smile on the corner of their mouths, perhaps remembering the time when they exercised their hands in the movie theater, some people are stunned and don't know how to react, and some people are sad that the place that has been with them for many years has disappeared, although they have not stepped into it for a long time, but some places are still very reassuring.
After the funeral, Duoduo received a roll of film from Alfedo's wife, which was said to be a gift from Alfedo.
Duoduo asks Alfedo's wife if he has left him with anything.
"No, once your mother told Alferdo that you would come back for him, and Alferdo replied that he could not come back. ”
"Alferdo is a good man, but sometimes he says strange things, and until he dies, he tells your mother, don't tell you. Alfedo's wife replied.
In fact, the public version is a bit unreasonable here, if you just want to get ahead, there is no need to do this, the key is that Duoduo has become a famous director thirty years later, but it is too exaggerated to not want to come back.
The director's cut version has the answer, compared to the version that is put now that Elena didn't come to the appointment for no reason, minus the fact that Elena came on Thursday, but it was late to quarrel with the family, and Duoduo happened to go to Elena's house at that time.
At that time, there was still Efedo in the screening room, so Efedo lied to Elena and said that Efedo decided to break up with her, that is, the two who were in love with each other missed it, and it was Alfedo's own fault.
Although Ai Fei Duo is for Duoduo's good, he doesn't want Duoduo to be trapped in the town because of love, but after all, he pushed Duoduo's lover away, so Ai Fei Duo felt guilty and didn't dare to see Duoduo.
Regarding this, Chu Shun patched it in front, made up a scene compared to the original book, and talked with his mother after returning home, confiding in his current predicament, and after returning to his hometown, he thought deeply of Elena again.
So it can be completely explained that Alferdo knows Duoduo too well and doesn't want Duoduo to think of the missed love again.
Duoduo returned to Rome with the film and went to the company's projection room to play the film.
The critics at the scene, as well as the directors, including Guy Walker, were not at all aware of the seriousness of the problem.
The next thing they want to see is one of the most classic endings in film history, which can be ranked in the top ten.
What comes out is a kiss scene that was previously cut off by the godfather's censorship, and Alfedo put it together into a complete one.
There are shy kisses.
There are romantic kisses.
There is a passionate kiss from the man.
There is a kiss from the woman who is as charming as a flower.
There are kisses that both sides are hungry for.
Under the god-level soundtrack, the entire theater was shocked in an instant!
