366 Midnight Noise

Park City at midnight is still not completely quiet, the streets are not as noisy and crowded as during the day, but there are still many fans wandering the streets. Watching the midnight show at the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info is a special experience for true movie fans, even if it's just a special experience.

Tonight, the snowflakes of Park City fell again, and under the blue moonlight, the quiet town added a touch of coldness, and the slightest sound was invisibly amplified, and the bustling sound of the movie theater door echoed in the empty streets and snow.

Eli Wallach walked out of the screening room, shivering at the cold air in his face, followed by another, reflexively tightening the collar of his coat in an attempt to soak up a hint of warmth. But the loneliness and loneliness wandering between his eyebrows always lingered, and he only felt that his hands and feet were cold.

He knew that there was a cold feeling in his heart, as if the temperature was being withdrawn from the depths of his heart little by little.

Eli finally got his wish and watched the movie "Love Crazy" as he wished. Because the long queue during the day was too turbulent to buy a ticket, he had to settle for the second best thing and watched the midnight show. Even at midnight, the film still had an attendance rate of more than 80 percent, which is a rare event at the Sundance Film Festival.

However, he is not sure whether his decision is the right one, because he doesn't know whether he should watch this movie, his mouth is full of bitterness, his heart is full of loneliness, he wants to cry but can't cry, he wants to shout but can't shout, and even standing in the screening hall of the movie theater, he feels cold everywhere.

There was a dull and suppressed sobbing sound in her ears, Eli Ben / looked up, and then saw a girl stubbornly standing in place, constantly wiping the tears from her cheeks, and a boy stood next to her, softly comforting, "In the end, they are still together, aren't they?

The girl shook her head, reluctant to speak, and her muffled cry made people feel sad. She took two deep breaths in a row, "Do you know why I like this movie? I know, you don't." The boy tried to open his mouth to defend himself, but the girl shook her head and interrupted him, "It's normal, I'm not angry." ”

With tears in her eyes, the girl pursed her lower lip tightly, and said firmly, "I like it, not because I see our shadow in it, but because Jacob and Anna missed each other after all, and the physical distance has finally become a psychological distance." They still love each other deeply, but they have to choose to let go after all. Do you know why Anna flew to Los Angeles in the end?"

The boy lowered his head and sighed lightly, "Because they all want to try harder, because ......" but the last half of the sentence did not continue.

The girl nodded, and the tears slipped down again, "Just like us." ”

The girl raised her head and looked at the boy with teary eyes, without saying a word, the stubbornness and despair in her eyes were precarious, and she was about to collapse;

Eli now finally understood what that bitterness on the tip of his tongue was: real, all too real. It's so real that it's desperately true.

There are countless realistic movies, not to mention those movies that reflect wars, disasters, and crimes, even if they are other types of movies, there are still many movies that are more cruel, bloody, and terrible than "Love Crazy". A small story like "Love is Crazy" can only be said to be sprinkling.

However, the realism of "Love Crazy" is unique. There is no excessive exaggeration, no excessive drama, and it is completely real, which is also the biggest difference between "Love Crazy" and "Blue Valentine".

"Blue Valentine's Day" deliberately magnifies the mixed emotions that are deeply involved in marriage, and puts them under a magnifying glass, and every emotional detail becomes vivid, cruel with a hint of blood. But this way of dealing with it is more or less artistic, rooted in reality and detached from reality.

"Love is crazy" is different, the real sense of reality, like a blade on the skin, even the sharpness of the blade and the stinging of the pores are so clear, it is reminiscent of the "Squid and Whale" movie. It's not art, it's not film, it's real life.

It is precisely this reality that pulls the audience from the fantasy of the movie into reality, and the feeling of powerlessness slowly penetrates into the blood along the pores, making people unable to extricate themselves.

It's like...... It's like the couple in front of you. Eli doesn't know their stories, but she can feel the bitterness in them, just like Jacob and Anna.

This kind of film is never likable.

Because it is so real, like a mirror, it reflects and interprets its own life. No one wants to see their lives fall apart and fall apart on the big screen, and no one wants to see other people peek into their lives, the kind of real, irrefutable and disgusting reality that makes the movie-watching process a kind of torment.

If movies are the same as life, then why watch movies? Just live life, right?

Eli drooped his shoulders tiredly, he had never experienced a long-distance relationship, nor had he experienced such an unforgettable but uneventful love, the movie seemed to be a story that had nothing to do with him, but he kept thinking of Jacob and Anna at a party in London, and he didn't know why. The nervousness and confusion of an outsider in Jacob's body was like a punch that slammed into his stomach, rolling and almost throwing up.

Eli sat down in a chair next to her, trying to catch her breath.

"'Love is crazy'?" An inquiring voice came from the side, Eli turned his head, and next to him sat a man in his early thirties, with a stubble on his face, his hair tousled, and a beanie hat in his hand, fiddling with it unconsciously, with a tired smile on his lips.

With just one simple sentence, Eli understood what it meant, and he nodded in the affirmative. Then I saw the man chuckle, but the corners of his mouth could barely be outlined, "I don't like this movie." Strictly speaking, I don't like chick movies like this. Crying, procrastinating, humming and chirping, it's really childish. ”

Eli opened her mouth to defend herself, but found that she couldn't say a word.

Then Eli saw the man's shoulders droop down, and there was no sound, but Eli inexplicably saw a faint sadness on the tired shoulders, "But ......" the man said softly, the corners of his mouth showed an arc, a little ridiculous, and a little helpless, "But it was so good." ”

Eli nodded in agreement.

"As fanatical as you are in love, you should be as fanatical as you are. Because in the long years to come, every quarrel, every misunderstanding, and every alienation will make this heat decline little by little. Before we knew it, the arms of each other were already cold. Do you know why Jacob and Anna were able to hold on for so long? It's because they love each other so much, and the heat is enough to melt everything. But one day, one day......"

The man's voice suddenly fell silent, and the sound of the whirring wind outside the movie theater was heard in his ears, and large snowflakes flew up, and it was cold.

I only heard the man sigh lightly, his face full of embarrassment. The words are not finished, but they are numerous. Sometimes, language is too pale.

"Didn't you ever think that it was Jacob's fault?" a sad voice rang in her ears, and a young woman of twenty-five or six years old stopped in front of Eli, her eyes burning with indelible anger, "Nothing would have happened if Jacob had followed Anna to London for the summer in the first place, would it have happened?"

Eli showed a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth, nodded, and sighed, "Yes." If that's the case, maybe the ending will be different. Probably, the two of them couldn't even hold on for so many years, and all their enthusiasm was extinguished in the rainy summer of London. ”

"Why do you say that? Jacob is reluctant to go to London because he doesn't love him enough! Men are always demanding from women, women are always compromising, why is there no one condemning men for their selfishness?"

Eli was not angry, but nodded in agreement, "That's it. When a relationship ends, we always want to get to the roots. If you had done this, would it have been different? If that hadn't happened, what if you had chosen another option when you wavered?"

The woman looked at Eli with angry eyes, but Eli was unmoved, and still said unhurriedly, "We can find out all the bits and pieces in the process of dating, judge them one by one, if, countless ifs, we are always trying to find out whose fault it is, it seems that as long as the mistake is solved, everything can be reversed." But, is that really the case?"

The woman opened her mouth, and the sound of "yes" swirled on the tip of her tongue, wanting to accept it directly, but she turned and turned, and finally swallowed, and hung her shoulders in despair. She remembered Jacob and Anna's arguments in the kitchen, and the quarrels of each couple.

"I don't like this movie. I think this movie is just moaning/groaning without illness! It's just a love story of two young people, where they are going to die or live, and they don't have anything else to do? This kind of movie is a waste of time!"

"I don't like it either. Both of them are terrible, they can make the right choice, but they are always selfish and keep missing out. It's just Britain to the United States, and it's all kinds of dangers, but what if it's those Middle Eastern countries? Women don't even have the right to choose their husbands!"

"Me too, it's really unlikeable. ”

……

"But, Lan Li is really good, isn't it?"
