Hope wants to close her eyes, and three minutes into the movie, she wants to close them, and the claustrophobic fear and panic of desperation hold her heart so tightly that it makes her eyes crack. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Especially the ubiquitous darkness of the entire screening room, like a tide, surrounded her, leaving only the bright cold light of the big screen faintly brightening, magnifying the immersive sense of reality to the extreme, and the rhythm of the pulse beat is highly consistent with Paul on the movie screen, suffocating, swept in.

However, Hope doesn't want to close her eyes, and even blinking is extravagant, every picture reveals a strong sense of reality and shock, firmly grasping her emotions, and she can't relax for a second.

In a trance, she even forgot that the man on the screen was Lan Li, that is, an ordinary person who was trapped in a desperate situation but was struggling to survive, it could be Paul Conroy, or it could be everyone present, a strong sense of survival penetrated the barrier of the screen, injected into her blood, and empathized.

The whole viewing process is really too cruel, too exciting, too tense, and even more thrilling than a roller coaster.

When I saw Paul finish recording the video of his will, he quietly looked at the flame in his chest, his expression was serene and quiet, as if lying in a pile of soft pillows, with hot milk in his hand, a large pile of snacks next to him, the laughter of children and the nagging of his wife surrounded his ears, bathed in the lazy afternoon sun, enjoying this moment of leisure, but also a moment of luxury.

Hope finally couldn't hold back any longer, covered his mouth, and looked at the big screen with teary eyes, overwhelmed.

They can always see on TV or in the newspapers, "Armed conflict in Iraq killed three soldiers and 17 wounded in a shooting standoff," or "A civilian was kidnapped in Afghanistan and kidnappers demanded a ransom of $10 million, but the White House refused to compromise with the terrorists......

Every time they see these news, they will feel a lot of emotion, even anger, and seek justice for those victims, but more often, they just sigh and sigh, because it is too far away from them, because it is just a stranger, because they can't imagine how cruel the situation on the ground is.

But now, through the big screen, they can clearly see the process of "death" and "kidnapping", and they are witnessing a person step by step towards the end of his life, which is even more terrible than electrocution, as if their hands are also covered with blood, and as if they are in it.

That kind of shock from the depths of the soul, in Paul Conroy's calm smile with a faint happiness, burst to the extreme, easily destroying the psychological defense of every audience.

He's going to be saved, right? He's supposed to be saved, right? He's going to be saved, right? He's going to be saved, right? He's going to be saved, right? He's going to be saved, right? He's going to be saved, right? He's going to be saved, right? He's going to be saved, right? He's going to be saved, right?

Unprecedentedly, Hope expects a cliché, offensive, cookie-cutter ending. This belief is the only motivation that supports her to continue watching, otherwise, this is really too cruel, and she really has no way to continue to open her eyes.

But, Hope was disappointed.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. ”

The last rays of light from the flashlight were extinguished, the tragic melody was cut off, everything fell into peace, and the whole screening room was completely darkened, and the darkness of the fingers could not be seen. The movie, that's the end of it.

Hope froze in place, his eyes widened in disbelief, staring at the big screen in a daze, he even forgot the movement of breathing, tears of joy still rested on his eyelashes, did not slip, but the whole person stiffened on the seat, like a porcelain doll that had lost its soul, indifferent.

There was no sound in my ears at all, as if the entire movie theater had become an empty city, and there was not a single soul left, this silence was like the ice and snow of the Arctic Circle, the cold penetrated the skin little by little, eating away at the temperature of the body, making the blood and heartbeat gradually slow down, as if the vitality was slowly disappearing, this slow and deep drowning feeling, even more terrible than despair.

The movie is over.

But no one in the screening room got up and left, everyone sat quietly in place, watching the subtitles slowly roll up, they couldn't even take their eyes off, and their brains were completely wide and couldn't move.

Edith sighed inwardly and complained, "This guy is really ...... What kind of movie is it, it is so exciting, there is no breathing room at all. I wanted to pretend to be a bird and get into the arms of the man next to me, but I couldn't find the right time. What a disappointment. Wouldn't it be nice for him to act in a little chick movie, selling handsome, selling cute? Really. Why do you have to suffer so much?"

Edith raised her right hand and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her slightly trembling fingertips revealing her true emotions, but soon she curled up her fingertips and concealed all her emotions. Exhaled softly, but her chest was still faintly stuffy, which made Edith's eyes lose her mind for a moment, as if she was caught in the mood of the movie, and seemed to be caught in her own emotions.

Under the cover of darkness, no one can find out.

The lights in the screening room slowly lit up, and the emotions in Edith's eyes were fleeting, and she returned to her usual rebellious and arrogant nature, and even her delicate makeup was not damaged in any way, as if the movie just now had no effect at all.

Hope turned his head blankly, looked around, but his vision had no focus and focus at all, only a hazy nothingness, and finally looked at his little friend sitting next to him, "Bill, the movie isn't over yet, is it? He'll be saved, right? There's an easter egg in the back, isn't it?"

William sat down in his chair, the shock of the tide could not stop at all, and now he was in the stage of being unable to think and breathing hard, as if he could feel the magnificent silence and vastness in the depths of his soul, he never knew that the original performance could be so simple and yet so shocking, the original movie could be so simple but so profound, and the original reality could be so cruel and so desperate at the same time......

Hearing the voice, William turned his head and looked at Hope, but the vague focus never found the target, just floating empty, and his heart was uncomfortably sad.

"Hope......" Graham shouted.

He wanted to say that the movie is over, life is over, this is the reality. Behind those dreams of heroism are the death of more innocent lives. Just like those terrorist attacks, unless you are familiar with your family and friends, some of them are just a bunch of numbers on the news, and you don't have a real sense of it.

However, the voice was stuck in his throat, Graham choked on his own saliva, and the hot tears fell unexpectedly, and a sadness arose.

A thriller movie, a one-man show movie with a small budget and a small pattern, and a movie with a simple story and simple connotation, but it firmly grasps the heartstrings of every audience, with ups and downs, which makes people want to stop. The whole process of watching the movie may be a torture, or it may be a enjoyment, the hearty but abrupt intricate taste makes people hate and can't stop.

In the corner of the eye, I saw that the warning light at the exit was on, and a staff member walked in, as if to remind everyone that it was time to leave, and one after another people began to stand up, and the quiet screening hall finally regained a little noisy vitality.

"Hey, everybody's still there. The visitor shouted, and the prosaic words were like thunder in the quiet screening room, and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Hope raised his head, and then he saw the figure walking leisurely to the center of the screening room, like a pool of stagnant water, the eyes burst with a light, gradually and slowly dispelling all the gloom, and the whole person brightened. It's a blue gift.

"Young Master!" Hope finally couldn't hold back anymore and blurted out a loud shout.

Lan Li couldn't help but be stunned, he had the illusion of returning to London at that moment just now, but he quickly reacted and nodded towards Hope with a smile, "I just realized that you guys came all the way to watch the midnight show, which is undoubtedly the best affirmation for the movie." Let's not talk about whether you like this movie or not......"

Before Lan Li's words could be finished, William shouted with all his strength, "I like it!" and then the others shouted one after another, "I love it", "I'm crazy about it", "It's really exciting", "What's the ending...... The sound of one after another filled the screening room, and it was very lively.

The smile on Lan Li's lips rose slightly, "I decided to believe that this is real. Although you always say something against your will because of the relationship between the actors on the scene. This ridicule made everyone laugh, "The director and the other members of the crew didn't come tonight, so on behalf of the crew, I made a special trip to thank everyone for their support, thank you." ”

This is Lan Li's spontaneous move, he knows exactly what the midnight show represents, no matter what mentality these audiences have when they come, but watching the movie is solid, which is good news for independent films.

"'Buried Alive' is a small-budget independent film, and we don't have much money to promote it, so I specially pulled the entire crew of 'Fast & Thrill/Emotional 5' over today to help promote it, and then, it's your turn. Lan Li's half-truths and half-truths were full of ridicule and banter, and the laughter of the audience couldn't stop at all.

"There's still a short time before the party, can I stay here for a while, is there anyone who wants to ask questions?" Lan Li asked tentatively, but he didn't expect that the audience raised a large number of arms, densely packed and not spectacular, Lan Li raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Wow, I hope I won't be late for the party." ”
