79 single men

Recommended song: You Hongming - Falling in love with another person

Ang Lee will appear at the premiere of "Single Man", although some surprises are reasonable, he himself has his own unique understanding of gay movies, and the "Brokeback Mountain" back then can be described as infinitely beautiful, so Ang Lee's choice of "single man" among the three movies released today is quite reasonable.

And Wong Kar-wai will attend, it should be his personal preference, out of curiosity and interest in "single men". This is undoubtedly the best affirmation for Tom Ford. But in addition to the excitement, there is also some nervousness. It can be said that Tom Ford is Wong Kar-wai's self-taught apprentice, and it can also be said that Tom Ford pays tribute to Wong Kar-wai, so Wong Kar-wai's presence is naturally of great significance.

Not only did many big-name artists attend the premiere of "Single Man", but also a lot of news reporters, mainly for Lee Joon-yi. In the summer file that has just ended, Lee Joon-yi broke out at the box office with a "hangover", and became an annual surprise with a "Five Hundred Days with Shamo", so how many surprises will this "single man" bring to everyone. Naturally, the media is looking forward to it.

It's a very simple movie with an uncomplicated story.

Before the story begins, a man's body floats and sinks underwater, and this suffocation and sadness surrounded by indulgence runs through the whole movie. It's a story of the sixties, an era of beauty that has lost its authenticity, and all the thrill is carefully included under the elaborate makeup and sophisticated clothing.

The story begins with George's nightmare, where he dreams about Jim's car accident again, and when he wakes up, he finds that he has no future in sight, and the other side of the double bed is soaked in red pen ink. "For the past eight months, waking up has been painful. "Eight months ago, George's lover died in a car accident. After that, every hour of every day was an ordeal for George. So, he began to plan to kill himself.

Tom Ford's rich colors and delicate halos present to all audiences an elegant, gentlemanly, noble and Lee Joon-yi, to be precise, George.

When the phone rang, George received the sad news that Jim had died in a car accident through the cold telephone line, and George was the only one in the camera from beginning to end, but the depiction of George's eyes, lips, lines, and gestures in the camera was as exquisite as an advertisement, and George's rich emotions were like a soothing narrative poem, slowly unfolding on the screen. Involuntarily, my eyes began to blur, the unforgettable pain, the sadness that can only be chewed out through the details, that's probably it. The audience in the cinema already found themselves in tears before they knew it.

Next, the story unfolds like a beautiful and elegant fashion advertising campaign, with an incomparably elegant and gentlemanly bearing, slowly blooming on the big screen, the ambiguous atmosphere that seems to be close and alienated, making people feel like returning to the 60s that are too beautiful to be real. The aura that condensed and dissipated in an instant, like the oscillation between life and death, was unpredictable.

Charlotte, George's confidante, has been a qualified blessing for half her life, but in the end, she ended up in the second half of her life when her husband abandoned her children and left, feeling sorry for herself, smoking and drinking. Her appearance is like a bright red rose, fragrant snort, red makeup, like a heavy veil applied to a wound, but just like the original ground smile. In Solitude, Charlotte wants someone who "needs herself", so she wants to transform George's friendship with her into a "real relationship", an intimate emotion that she can grasp, support, and feel alive again.

Anne Hathaway's appearance is undoubtedly stunning, and the loneliness hidden under the makeup, like the beauty of the sixties, greedily takes away everyone's attention. Her proud but thin ice dance steps, the mournful but choked sigh, the seemingly elegant coat, the hysterical undercurrent surging from the vultures, never saw such a beautiful Anne Hathaway.

George said, "Charlotte, you're about to conquer me, and there's a tear forming in the corner of my eye." Unfortunately, George belongs to Jim after all, and Jim's memories are like gray shadows in the air, which cannot be seen really, but they follow him like a shadow, and finally swallow George completely.

Jim, the lover of sixteen years whom George has been in love with, appears like a shining meteor in the film, and then disappears into thin air. In that beautiful afternoon hour, George and Jim sat so lazily facing each other on either side of the sofa, the light was faintly bright, the shadows were peaceful, each silently reading "The Metamorphosis" and "Tiffany's Breakfast", the occasional teasing, the occasional cautious, the occasional playfulness, this small happiness is a reverie that time can never dilute. After sixteen years of fighting, in the end, only firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea remained, but those trivial pictures that dissipated in life were thought to be forgotten by life, but they were unforgettable.

When George and Jim are seen on the couch reading a book, the time in the entire movie theater seems to stand still, and it's hard to imagine that it's just a trivial conversation that attracts everyone's attention. Looking at the smile on the corner of Jim's mouth, looking at the love in George's eyes, and listening to the flirtatious "old man", the corners of everyone's mouth outlined the most beautiful arc. Happiness has never been a difficult thing, and this beauty, because of Jim's departure, broke everyone's heart.

Kenny, dressed in a white sweater, innocent like an angel, with a bronzed complexion, a tall figure, blue eyes, full of youth and vitality, Nicolas Holt surprised everyone as soon as he appeared under the lens of Tom Ford. Kenny has mixed feelings for his teacher George, admiration, understanding, curiosity, cherishment, affection, sincerity, and straightforwardness, and he doesn't even ask why, he simply wants to get to know and protect George. This kind of love is the brightest color in George's gray world.

After saying goodbye to Charlotte, George is taken by Kenny in the bar to relive his youth before deciding to leave the world, and from Kenny's blue eyes that adors him, George sees Jim sixteen years ago in a trance.

The rich and rich colors of the film bloom brilliantly at this time. Until then, George's solitude had been treated as a dull and cold tone, revealing a sentimental blue, but when Charlotte, Jim, and Kenny intervened, the tone changed from cold to warm, and the soul that had been lifted through the fog suddenly lit up. Whether it is an ignorant teenager with a delicate face, or a girl in a sky blue princess dress, or a black dog with butter sevens, or a bewitching red rose, they have all become a beautiful existence, embodying George's most gorgeous moment on the last day of his life.

Those seemingly trivial details are no longer fleeting, but are infinitely stretched and stretched, revealing the slightest poetry. This series of half-clear and half-extinguished thoughts, blooming again and again under the lens of Tom Ford, is as resolute and moving as a snow lotus standing on a long snowfield. The only pity is that these beauties will become illusions, and the thoughts of death in George's mind are like black thorns, invading the last twenty-four hours of George's life.

Kenny's clear and transparent eyes, full of admiration, make George rediscover the meaning of life, and at the end of the day, George decides to continue to live with the hope of life. When the sun rises again, it's a new day. George threw his suicide note into the stove and put the pistol in a drawer, but just then, George's heart attack hit him, and he collapsed on the carpet next to his bed like a collapsed building. The world fell silent, and all the colorful colors gradually faded to their brilliant brilliance, revealing the most essential black and white colors.

The light outside the window lit up little by little, Kenny was still asleep on the sofa, his quiet face was like an angel, George was lying quietly on the carpet, his moving eyes were dimming a little, "I have had a moment in my life when it was absolutely clear, and in the few seconds of this moment, the silence was silent, and I felt instead of thinking." Things are so distinct, the world is so fresh, everything is full of presence. I could never dwell on moments like this, I tried to hold on, but they passed like all things, and my life was attached to them, and they pulled me back into the present and made me realize that everything was exactly as it was meant to be. ”

When George, who was immersed underwater at the beginning of the film, finally jumped out of the water and took a big breath, the heart that had been broken too many times gave up the struggle, and the last second hand ticked, and everything came to an abrupt end.

Death is not where to be, and death is not at the right time. This kind of death is more than suicide by swallowing a gun, which shows the affection of fate and the depth of life. But at least, this time George can stay with Jim forever.

The cinema was plunged into a brief darkness, and the silence around it was terrible, there was no applause, no whispering, no tears, even the sound of breathing dissipated into the air, and the cinema was like a graveyard at midnight, and the silence began to extend indefinitely, making people's hearts stop suddenly.

Everyone held their breath because of the beauty brought by the movie, because of the sudden stop brought by the ending, because of the shock to the heart. But when the lights came on again, everyone began to applaud, and the thunderous applause was mixed with the sound of heavy breathing, and the movie had a suffocating beauty, and then everyone remembered to breathe.

Tom Ford sat down on the seat and did not stand up, Li Zhunyi looked back at Tom Ford beside him, only to see that his face was stiff, and there were very mixed emotions fluctuating in his eyes, which were moved, relieved, relaxed, and excited...... Lee Jun-yi patted Tom Ford's arm on the armrest.

Tom Ford unconsciously looked up at Lee Junyi, his eyes returned to normal, he took a deep breath before standing up from his position, clapping his hands and turning around, bowing and thanking all the audience at the scene.
