Chapter 439: What is the name of the third child
Time passed, Tim and Marion loved to live together, and the family was harmonious. The younger sister also got out of the sea of suffering, and began to try to get in touch with his good friends.
Tim and Mary have another child, and life is happy and happy.
But one day, Tim suddenly heard the bad news that his father had terminal cancer and only a few weeks left to live.
Parents are there, and there is a barrier between the children and death, and death seems to be a distant thing. However, when the parents leave, the children face death.
Tim has the ability to travel through time and space, thinking that he can avoid death in the face of death, so he talks to his father about whether he can go back in time and prevent cancer. However, the father said no, because smoking caused him to get cancer, and the habit of smoking was pre-existing with children, so if he went back to his youth and changed the past and did not smoke, then his future children would probably not be Tim and Catherine.
The father's choice was the same as Tim's. In order not to "kill" the child, he is reluctant to change the past.
Even if you have the superpower of traveling through time and space, there are still many problems in life that you can't deal with.
But his father shared the secret of what Tim called the highest level of time-traveling ability - happiness.
"He advised me to continue to live an ordinary life day in and day out, like any ordinary person......"
When his boss rejected the plan in the company, Tim looked helpless. Buying lunch at a convenience store, Tim just wants to buy it quickly and leave in the face of a friendly waiter. In the afternoon, Tim and his colleagues raced around the courthouse. Win the lawsuit and nod to the customer. Take the subway after work, listen to the loud music in the headphones of the passengers on the side, get home, and go to bed early.
“…… Then use superpowers and repeat the day before in the same way. ”
"The first time you may be nervous and anxious and ignore the good things in life, so in the second time, you should appreciate it. ”
This time, when his boss rejects the plan in the company, Tim grins and grimaces, which is funny. Buying lunch at a convenience store, Tim smiled back in front of the friendly waiter, and received the waiter's blessing and sincere smile. When he arrived at the courthouse, Tim looked up and marveled at the interior of the courthouse. After winning the case, Tim hugged and congratulated the customer. Taking the subway after work, Tim listened to the music in the headphones of the passenger next to him and enjoyed it together. When I get home, I laugh and chat with my girlfriend, turn off the lights, and spend excess protein.
Tim mastered the highest level of time-traveling ability, and his father's funeral followed.
At the funeral, everyone else was very sad. Tim is better because he has superpowers and can always go back to the weeks before his father's burial to see his father, read with him or play table tennis. For Tim, his father is not gone.
Until Mary said she wanted a third child.
"If one of us is smarter than the other, then the unsmart child will be sad. So we're going to have another one, because that's ...... There will be two happy fools. ”
Tim laughed, but at the same time was saddened, because after the birth of the third child, Tim could not go back to the past before the birth of the third child.
This meant that he would never see his father again.
Tim, under Mary's expectant gaze, agreed to have a third child.
Before the birth of the child, Tim travels back in time for the last time to accompany his father.
Tim was playing his last table tennis match with his father, and tears were about to fall out at any moment.
Tim lowered his gaze and sighed, "Your game has finally improved." ”
The father dropped the racket, crossed his waist, and was very arrogant: "Then what prize do I have?"
"A kiss?"
"A kiss?!"
Father felt ridiculous at first, but looking at Tim's moist eyes and reluctant expression, he understood.
"I see. The expression on my father's face was rather sad.
Tim couldn't help it, cried and threw his racket and walked over to hug his father, then gently kissed his father on the face.
There is no tearful soundtrack, no mournful lines, everything is like any goodbye in daily life, time is quiet here.
Tim asked his father what he could do with him.
The father thought about it and said yes, but it was a little dangerous.
The danger meant that he wanted to take Tim to the past a long time ago. The earlier it passes, the more dangerous it is, because the slightest carelessness can trigger the butterfly effect.
"It shouldn't be okay to be careful. ”
Then they used superpowers together, and by the time Tim was a child. At that time, Tim was six or seven years old, holding his father's hand and playing by the sea. Run, chase, float, play in the water.
Bidding farewell to his father, Tim returns to his old life and goes on with his life as usual.
Tim narrates, "In the end, traveling through time and space taught me one last lesson, even surpassing my dad. That is, I don't have to go back in time, I try to live each day as if I have already traveled through today. I enjoy each day and treat each day as if it were the last day of my special and ordinary life. ”
After experiencing the polish of life, the frizzy young man at the beginning of the film has become a reliable man by the end of the film.
The audience then watched as Tim kissed his sleeping wife to warm background music, then went downstairs to take care of the breakfast of the three children, and then sent the eldest child to school and said goodbye in earnest.
Then there are ordinary scenes in the movie. There are skateboarders playing skateboarding in the park, nurses getting together to chat, office workers reading books while eating breakfast, and two gray-haired old men holding hands and walking slowly...... These pictures can be seen everywhere on the road, but at this time, looking at the people in these pictures, you can find the common denominator, that is, to live well.
These pictures of ordinary people's lives healed the audience who couldn't cry a few minutes ago.
"Every day we live, we travel through time together," Tim's narration sounded for the last time, "and all we can do is cherish this extraordinary journey of life to the best of our ability." ”
……
The screen goes black and the film ends.
The lights in the screening room illuminate the darkness and pull the audience back to reality from the world of cinema.
"Whoa~" Some of the audience couldn't wait to start applauding, and they were very emotional.
But soon, part of them was stopped by the people on the side, and part of them stopped spontaneously.
That's not to say that Han Jue's films only deserve this level of praise, but the content on the screen grabs their attention. They plan to see this and then applaud and cheer.
On the right side of the screen, the names of the staff in front of and behind the scenes of the movie appear one by one, and on the left, the movie tidbits appear.
Han Jue, as a film practitioner, and behind the scenes, knows too well that the final subtitles are the honor roll of these behind-the-scenes staff. They really want the audience to take a look.
This time, Han Jue became a director, and he hoped that the audience could sit down and read the subtitles in full. But this kind of thing can't be forced, it all depends on the audience's wishes.
So Han Jue thought of a way to keep the audience, that is, to release the movie's tidbits with the ending song:
There is a wedding in the rain, and everyone is embarrassed to come and go in the wind and rain again and again, which is not romantic at all.
Han Jue was on the side of the equipment, using screen printing to get out Zhang Yiman's nine-square grid paintings. In addition to the one that appeared in the movie, there are several others.
A group of creators from the crew came to the special restaurant of [Tongue Road] to experience dark dining together.
When Xiao Zhou and Jack played against each other for the sixth time, Xiao Zhou suddenly exposed his killer nature and wanted to kill people on the street, the reason was "I suspect that Tim's superpowers will damage my business, and with the character of a killer, I have to kill ......Tim in advance" Finally, Jack, the actor of Tim, couldn't bear it, bypassed the front desk, tripped Xiao Zhou, who played the waiter, to the ground, and punched Xiao Zhou's belly, "Killer! Let you kill someone! Everyone rushed up to help, and fixed Xiao Zhou's limbs firmly, so that Jack could fight more happily.
Han Jue sang in the subway with his hat down, and no one recognized Han Jue at first, but as Han Jue began to sing, more and more people surrounded Han Jue.
The audience watched these tidbits and found it very interesting.
What sounded in my ears was the warm song "How long will I love you" that Han Jue sang in the subway:
【
How long will I love you?
How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
It's as long as the stars in the dome
And longer if I can
I did everything I could to make it longer
】
While everyone was staring at the screen with a smile on their faces, Han Jue turned his head and asked Zhang Yiman, "How do you feel?"
"Hmm......" Zhang Yiman seemed to be in deep thought, and didn't answer after thinking for a long time.
Han Jue looked at the tears on Zhang Yiman's face that had not yet dried, thinking that Zhang Yiman was still immersed in thinking about the plot of the film, so he bumped Zhang Yiman with his arm and asked softly, "Silly girl, what are you thinking?"
"Ah?......" Zhang Yiman was awakened and replied absentmindedly, "I was thinking about what the name of the third child would be......"
Han Jue was a little surprised, he was actually thinking about this.
"Whatever, don't care. He waved his hand, and only said that Zhang Yiman was talking about Tim's third child.
"How can this be casual?" Zhang Yiman was shocked.
Han Jue thought for a moment and said, "That's called Henry?
"It's an English name?" Zhang Yiman looked at Han Jue in surprise.
"Otherwise?" Han Jue was a little puzzled.
"Not surnamed Han?"
“……???”
