Finding a place to sit down, Elizabeth looked around and complained, "It's all your fault, I have to wait a few minutes if I don't choose this movie." ”

Eric stuffed the popcorn and Coke he was holding to the girl and said, "You want to watch it on a temporary basis, it's better to wait a few minutes than to watch half of it halfway, and this movie is very good." ”

"Have you seen it?" the girl asked, hearing Eric's assessment.

Eric nodded, "Sort of." ”

The girl gave him a blank look: "What do you mean, yes is not no." ”

Eric ignored the girl's snatching, he couldn't say he had seen it in his previous life. Speaking of which, when this movie was released, Eric also specially asked Nicole to watch this movie and figure out Meg Ryan's acting style.

However, while sitting here at this point, while figuring out a few minutes before the opening of the movie, Eric noticed something very interesting.

The screenwriter of "When Harry Met Sally" is a female screenwriter named Nora Epron. Although the female writer and director has produced many very successful works, her reputation is very low. For movie fans, when it comes to her works, people usually think of the actor and heroine in the movie, and no one realizes that she is the director and screenwriter.

Of course, these are not interesting places. What Eric found was, at least in the works of Nora Ephron that he had seen. The heroines all have a very common trait - sweetness.

Meg Ryan earned the title of America's sweetheart. It's because of Nora Ephron's "When Harry Meets Sally". In Nora Epron's other works, the heroine is endowed with the attribute of 'sweetness'. In addition to Meg Ryan, the cold-hearted Nicole Kidman was sweetened by "Fairy Pretty Witch", the mediocre-looking Lisa Kudrow was sweetened in "The Inner Ghost and the Outer Ghost", and even Meryl Streep was sweetened in Nora Epron's early "Heartfire".

is born from the heart, it is estimated that this female screenwriter is originally a little woman in her heart, so she will give the same attribute to many actors with completely different styles.

The lights in the screening room went out, and the silence passed. One of the most distinctive features of the film appears in the camera, where the gray-haired old couple recalls to the camera how they came together many years ago.

Although the elderly couple in the camera are actors, the stories they tell are real material from screenwriter Nora Epron's interviews with real-life couples. Eric listened with relish, but Elizabeth next to him was a little confused: "Eric, what's going on?"

"Don't worry, take your time. ”

As he spoke, the camera had switched to the campus of the University of Chicago, where the young male and female protagonists who were about to go out into society met for the first time. On the way to New York, they stuck to their outlook on life. There was a lot of chatter and arguments with each other along the way, and no one could convince anyone. swayed the last trace of their youth frivolity, and finally broke up unhappily.

Five years later, they meet again, the heroine finds a lover, and the male protagonist is about to get married. Perhaps they feel that their life is about to be completed, and at this time a person is always the most peaceful and tolerant, so they try to get in touch with each other, thinking that they may be able to become friends.

After another five years, the male protagonist divorced and the female protagonist broke up. Under the trick of the god of fate, the two who have fallen to the end of the world meet again and become truly good friends, at least they themselves think so.

This time time did not rush to run away, began to jog, as they got together more and more, they became friends who talked about everything, and thoughtfully introduced their best friends to each other, trying to piece together two pairs of marriage. They succeeded, at least, halfway through, and their best friends made a couple, met and fell in love, and then they were about to get married. While sending blessings, stubborn men and women still insist on their persistence, feeling that since they want to be friends in the first place, they should not destroy the relationship.

Mistakes, or dry firewood, or even more naturally, in short, going to bed is inevitable. Although they woke up early in the morning, they began to panic and began to worry and avoid each other. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the male protagonist finally couldn't help but confess, and then kissed in tears.

At the end, the camera stays on the classical-style sofa, and what they are doing is no longer an old couple with gray hair, but they have become married couples, chattering endlessly, of course, disputes are indispensable.

Twelve years and three months, the beautiful youth is burned out, and a wife is changed.

The lights are on and the scene is gone.

Crowded together, the men and women who watched the movie seemed to be conjoined babies, sticking to each other and whispering to each other, and even many men and women still stayed in their seats and kissed as if no one was around.

Elizabeth was holding a bucket of popcorn that had only eaten a few bites, and was bumped into a few times by passers-by, and finally came to Eric's side, and said without words: "This movie is very good." ”

"Yes, the director's shots are very good, especially the depiction of the seasons, the scene between Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan in the woods, the shot is beautiful, and the maple leaves are like life blooming unscrupulously at the last moment of another cycle. Oh, and the eyes, I don't know if it's intentional or not, we can always find the protagonists' eyes with clear and distinct eyes, you know, the eyes are the windows of the soul This sentence is not just talking, these shots can convey a lot of emotions to the audience unconsciously, maybe I can use them more in my own movies in the future......"

Walking out of the movie theater, hearing Eric still chattering about his analysis, the girl suddenly became very angry for some reason, and threw most of the half bucket of popcorn in her arms into the trash, making a loud noise, attracting the attention of the surrounding pedestrians, and stopping Eric who was still explaining.

......Seeing the girl's actions, Eric shrugged his shoulders and didn't say any more.

After getting into the car and watching the girl silently fasten her seatbelt, Eric confirmed and said, "You're going to Julia?"

"Well," Elizabeth nodded, and said, "It's still far from Julia's, why don't you drive to your place first, and I'll drive back by myself when you get out of the car, anyway, you definitely won't have only one car, right, just change one to work tomorrow." ”

"No problem," Eric calculated the distance, and found that it was the most convenient, so he started the car without objection.

It took more than thirty minutes to get to the door of Eric's mansion, and the girl, who always liked to twitter, unusually didn't say a word.

"So, see you tomorrow?" Stopping the car, Eric unbuckled his seatbelt.

"......Huh," Elizabeth snorted, staring at Eric, as if to sweep the hateful man down with her eyes.

The atmosphere was stalemate for a few seconds, Eric turned off the engine and turned off all the lights, groped in the dark and reached over to pinch the girl's sharp chin: "Okay, do you think this will work?"
