"Smack. Smack. ”

In the screening room of the Chinese National Theater, lonely and lonely applause is echoing, and the eyes are projected towards the source of the sound, and then the lonely figure of Graham Hughes can be seen, standing stubbornly and firmly in the hazy milky yellow halo, applauding obliviously.

What does it mean that Graham was the only one in the audience to give a standing ovation, and the rest of the audience didn't seem to react.

Is the movie not good enough? Graham is the only one who likes it, and even the rest of the audience and critics hate it? Will this be the Waterloo of Lan Li's career? Or is the movie too profound and too majestic, and the audience needs more time to settle down their emotions and digest their thoughts, and they can't give accurate feelings in a short period of time, whether they like it or they hate it? Just like the reactions at the end of the internal test screening?

It could be the former, it could be the latter, and it could be a lot of other different situations. Graham has no way of knowing, because he has no way to express his thoughts on behalf of others, he can only represent himself-

He likes, he likes it very much, he likes it madly, enough to compare the position of "Love Crazy" and "Drunken Country Ballad" in his mind, even more than "gravity".

Because the theme presented in "Gravity" is too philosophical and too rational, it brings a kind of high-level thinking in the grand and majestic pattern, while the theme presented in "Interstellar" is more emotional and intimate, which can be said to be more sensational and simpler, but it is more moving for the general audience.

Graham's knees trembled a little in front of the audience, and he felt the urge to sit down and let himself run away from those gazes, but in the end Graham not only did not sit down, but instead straightened his knees and straightened his waist, proving his point in a more determined and fervent way:

It doesn't matter, I like it, that's enough, that's the only thing you need to care about.

Cinema is the same as all other arts, everyone has their own aesthetic taste, the same work can reflect completely different reactions in different audiences, because others like it and choose to like, that is to follow the trend, and you may not even be able to say what it is brilliant; because you like it and think you like it, that is appreciation, it may only be because you have a resonance with the artwork, your own resonance, this is the most important thing.

This is how to appreciate art, insist on yourself, refine yourself, and evolve yourself - sometimes, your favorite work may just touch the excitement of the mainstream public, sometimes, your favorite work may not be known to the whole world, even the creator himself has forgotten, and sometimes, the work you like happens to meet another person who also likes, so there is a bond between the two souls.

It's not about the mainstream and the niche, it's about yourself, that's the right way to appreciate art.

It's too selfish, it's too subjective, it's too selfish, but art and aesthetics, ideas and tastes, preferences and preferences, it's a subjective opinion, isn't it? Just as someone likes apples and some people like bananas, there are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same, and no two souls are exactly the same.

No one needs to apologize for their taste in art, and it is the self that is the most important thing.

As a result, Graham's backbone is getting stronger and stronger, the frenzy and restlessness are breaking through the shackles of his chest, breaking through the cocoon into a butterfly, and the deep emotion and resonance in his heart are all conveyed through applause at this moment, showing everyone his support and love for this work.

"Smack. Smack. ”

Don Quixote has never been the mainstream public, even if he is the only one in the Chinese Theatre today.

The last scene of the movie reappeared in my mind:

Lonely and lonely, Cooper left Murphy and went to the tarmac alone in the night, took TARS, boarded the spaceship, and then embarked on an unknown journey again. With a faint loneliness but a faint glimmer of hope in those deep eyes, they quietly told the century-old story that happened during that thrilling interstellar journey, and firmly went to the unknown again, starting the journey to find Bland.

At the moment, he is the same.

A smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, and Graham raised his chin proudly and proudly, truly beginning to enjoy the solitude and loneliness of the moment.

Paul Walker turned his head to look at Lan Li beside him, his eyes glistened with tears, and he couldn't find a precise sentence to express it:

The bond between Cooper and Murphy reminded him of Meadow, and for Meadow, he was willing to complete this interstellar crossing; Cooper and Brand's friendship reminded him of Lan Li, in this journey of Hollywood Vanity Fair, they were all lonely, but Lan Li has always been unswervingly on the road of chasing his dreams, even if everyone does not understand, Lan Li still did not give up, which also made him willing to follow in the footsteps of Lan Li and open up his new life.

In Cooper, Paul saw too many emotional bonds, as if he had returned to those sleepy days, how much darkness he had experienced and how much pain he had endured, before he finally returned to Meadow and Lan Li, and he finally touched the California sunshine again.

When Cooper chose to embark on a journey to find Brand alone, Paul was completely defeated, and after waking up from that long dream, all the accumulated emotions, all the suppressed emotions, all the forgotten pains, all erupted at this moment-

He didn't cry when he learned that he had survived, he didn't cry when Meadow fell apart in front of him, and he didn't cry when he was officially discharged from the hospital when he got back on his feet. He was just glad, glad that he had a second life again, joy and happiness took up all the space in his chest and brain, and he kept smiling, smiling brightly.

Until today.

Like a fool, he sat still, his cheeks buried deep in the palms of his hands, and wept bitterly, the tears could not be stopped, the hot temperature almost burned his fingertips, and all the defenses and defenses were opened, and he surrendered like this, and then fell apart.

He used to be so close to death, but he finally came back, back to Meadow, with Lan Li by his side, those thrills, those fears and those blanks, and now he finally came to his senses, hitting his heart hard, and letting all emotions completely burst and release.

Raising his head, Paul pierced through the haze of tears, stared at Lan Li, and said "thank you" lingering on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say anything, but he stubbornly refused to look away, and then stiffened in place.

Lan Li noticed the burning gaze, turned his head and saw Paul's extremely embarrassed face, a smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, and gently patted Paul's shoulder, "Jesus Christ, people who don't know why still think that I rejected your confession, Ryan is next to you, are you sure it doesn't matter? Do you need to say hello to him in advance?"

Such a light and humorous joke made Paul burst into tears, but the tears still couldn't stop, and then he laughed instead of laughing and crying, and the whole person looked like an idiot, and finally he could only shake his head helplessly.

"What?" Ryan Gosling, who was sitting behind Lan Li and Paul, saw the gesture and leaned over, trying to widen those little eyes with a curious face, "I just heard my name." ”

Ryan's reaction made Paul cry and laugh even more, and without saying anything, he just stood up, faced Lan Li, and gave his own applause.

Perhaps, this is the best response.

Ryan didn't know why, and cast an inquiring glance at Lan Li, like a curious baby, his head full of question marks waiting to answer, "Hey! What the hell is going on?" but Lan Li just shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything, Ryan couldn't ask any further, and finally could only stand up with Paul and applaud.

Personally, Ryan liked the movie, but not to the point of madness, he still liked "gravity" more, and even in Nolan's work, he liked "Batman: The Dark Knight" and "Inception" more - of course, Ryan would not deny it, "Interstellar" is still a masterpiece, especially the whimsy of wormholes and black holes, which does bring a visually stunning experience, coupled with Lan Li's delicate and impactful performance, which once again proves the fact that movies should belong to the big screen.

If he had the chance, he would also like to be able to go to the cinema again, just to simply enjoy the powerful impact of the perfect combination of visual effects and human emotion, but he was even more curious about how Lan Li chose the work, why the script was so good, but he didn't know about the project in the first place? What the hell was going on?

Graham Hughes.

Paul Walker.

Ryan Gosling.

And then there's Bradley Adams and countless other spectators—

It turns out that it's not that the audience hates and hates this work, but that they need more time to digest it well, and the huge and magnificent theme sets off a storm of reflection in their minds, one question mark after another fills the whole head, almost crowding the brain, and that taste needs a little time to settle down.

When the excitement and turbulence calmed down a little, the applause in their ears awakened their consciousness, and then one by one the audience began to stand up, and finally, the mighty sea of people and waves occupied the entire screening hall, and the tsunami of applause came!

Graham is not alone.
