2150 Regular routines
Ogles sat quietly and thought about life.
Countless thoughts began to diverge, positive and negative, positive and negative, all thoughts came in this way, one thought after another, one thought after another, and then spread like this, and the disturbing thoughts filled the brain, and it couldn't stop at all.
Should he believe in Lan Li? Should he blame Lan Li? Should the test count? Or should he reject it outright? Can he change his prejudices? Or is all his judgment wrong? Should he just give up? Or should he change his strategy and stick to it? Should he like Lan Li now? Or should he hate it even more?
Countless thoughts collided in my mind, and the whole skull almost tore apart, as if the world had split into countless pieces.
Then Oglets had a question: where is he now, what is he doing, and what should he do?
Raising his head, Ogles noticed that Lan Li was calmly sipping the coffee, not in a hurry or anxious, not even curious, which made Ogles couldn't help but settle down a little, but then he was ashamed because of his wandering.
Subconsciously, Owgels wanted to open his mouth to apologize, which was polite.
But Ogles noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere: Lan Li did not look curiously, nor did he wander his mind, he just tasted the coffee quietly, and the whole quiet and serene atmosphere made Ogles relax, neither because of Lan Li's gaze but embarrassed, and because of Lan Li's absent-mindedness, he realized that he was not important at all...... That kind of warm ironing made Ogels's mood calm down.
After realizing this, all of Ogles's doubts were answered: with such education and quality, it is absolutely impossible for Lan Li to be arrogant and rude, so the only explanation for his previous actions is that Lan Li is right, it is his prejudice that blinds his eyes;
Loved it?
Ogels' thoughts finally got back on track, and when he looked at Lan Li again, there was a subtle change in his eyes.
However, Owgels is also a very stubborn personality, with his own persistence and awkwardness, refusing to compromise like this, letting him admit defeat like this, he can understand but can't accept it, he still hopes that Lan Li can pass the test - a fixed mode of thinking, which will still not be broken for a while.
This time, he decided to go the way he was used to, rather than forcing himself to break the routine.
"When we got back, we changed the script a little bit. Ogles did not apologize or thank him, but went straight to the point, without the lubrication of the beginning and end, which seemed a little stiff, but for Ogles and Lan Li, it didn't matter, and they didn't need politeness in social situations.
Lan Li cast a focused gaze, as if waiting for the follow-up of Ogels.
Ogles knew that Lan Li was listening carefully, feeling encouragement, and his attention was also retracted, "I have discussed, the reason why David entered the hotel is because of the divorce. He had been married for twelve years, and he had never been single since he became an adult. ”
The divorce was something David didn't expect at all, he didn't expect his wife to leave him and run away with a third party, which also made David fall into decadence, so he didn't go out to find a partner again, and he was also old, and he was a loser who was gradually eliminated in the market. In this way, he was not able to complete the task and was sent to the hotel. Auggs explained in detail their setting for David.
Lan Li gently bowed his head in understanding, quietly waiting for Ogles' words, and then saw Ogles signal, "We have completed the setting." "The subtext is, now it's your turn to have your say.
Lan Li was still not very comfortable with the rhythm of Ogels' conversation, and he gave Ogles enough time to elaborate, but Ogles was more inclined to exchange conversations, so he also replied smoothly, "I finally understand why you insist on looking for Jason Clark." ”
First of all, if you are married for twelve years, if you count it as successfully marrying your "high school sweetheart" at the age of eighteen, it will be at least thirty years old.
Secondly, Ogles wants to fit the whole story and set up a sense of absurdity, for example, David is forty-five years old, a little older, but not to enter the old age, he should still be valuable in the love and marriage market, or even if he remains single, there is no problem, but he was eliminated by the "market" and then entered the hotel, which also shows the irrationality of the whole social law.
In the end, Oulgels chose Jason Clarke - or later Colin Farrell, who is actually a tough guy with a little charm, but not necessarily a heartthrob character, emphasizing a kind of "less than the top is more than the bottom" intermediate image, further mocking the background and direction of the story.
From these points of view, the choice of Colin Farrell is indeed a more suitable role than Lan Li, but the initial suggestions of Lan Li have not been resolved.
"We're putting the age setting aside for now. Lan Li smiled and said, "So, you mean, David can find a partner, he just didn't be able to act in time because of the impact of the divorce, didn't find a partner, right? So, David didn't find a partner in the hotel, was it because he didn't have a suitable one, or because he no longer believed in love?"
"Uh......" Ogles was slightly stunned, "why? What's the difference? I hope to be ironic about this strange and twisted system." ”
"Look, that's the problem, the first half and the second half are separated. The first half of the hotel defines the meaning of family relations in a standardized way, which is contrary to love, it stipulates that every citizen must form a family, ignoring the meaning of love and abandoning personal freedom; ”
"If the point of this work is to celebrate love, then there is no problem, and I suspect that only a few details need to be changed in the first half to achieve the goal. ”
Lan Li's words ended here, and he didn't continue, leaving time and space for Eggs, "No, this movie has nothing to do with love......"
"That's right!" Lan Li directly interrupted the words behind Auggels, "If you want to reflect more issues, such as humanity and freedom, then David's role is very important. ”
At this time, Lan Li became aggressive, and his bright eyes flashed with determination, and he expounded his thoughts enthusiastically and excitedly.
"Why did David enter the hotel, why did David leave the hotel, why did David return to the city in the end? Lan Li firmly grasped Ogels's attention.
"According to your setting, David is divorced. So, first of all, is this marriage a union of love? Or is it obedience to the system? If it is the former, then after the divorce, does David still believe in love? Yes or no, different answers will lead to different actions and different meanings in the hotel and the forest; if it is the latter, then before the marriage, did David believe in love? After the divorce, did David's view change?"
"We can summarize it simply, David doesn't believe in love, everything is subject to the system, so what happened when David went into the forest? He found love for the first time? And then he obeyed love and went back to society? I don't see these changes in the script, but if he doesn't find love and follows the woman back into society, it means that he wants to return to the system again? He eventually gave up his freedom? What does that play in the whole theme of the film?"
"David believes in love, and after the divorce, he lost his confidence and belief in love, which also made him not actively look for a partner in the hotel, so when David entered the forest, he rekindled the spark of love?
Too much information! too much! too much! too much!
Countless possibilities came up one by one, even Lan Li himself was not able to derive all the possibilities, because it was too complicated, he could only present some possibilities now, and from here on, he could develop infinitely later.
Lan Li started from the foundation of the whole idea, completely shook the setting of Auggs, and then ...... Big bang in the head.
Objectively speaking, in fact, the setting of Ogles is feasible: marry for twelve years, then divorce, go to the hotel, escape from the forest, and return to the city.
But there are too many variables in this setting: why did you get married, why did you get divorced, why didn't you find a partner in time after the divorce, why did you go to the hotel, why didn't you find a partner in the hotel, why did you run away from the hotel, why did you choose the woman, why did you follow the woman back to the city?
In short, all possibilities will lead to different meanings, and the whole story will become more and more complex, and if Eggs does not have a precise core of his story, then the direction of the story will be a disaster, and eventually it will evolve into the feeling of Lan Li:
The setting and story are very exciting, but after being amazed, there is too much room for sublimation, and there is no room for reflection and aftertaste.
"Or, if you change the setting in the forest in the second half of the story, should that group of people support love, or should they support freedom? Lan Li added, throwing the question to Ogels.
Ogles frowned slightly, and thought carefully, it was precisely because he knew that Lan Li's analysis was correct, so he had to calm down and think about it.
