When December 27 arrives, Levy's Lost Tokyo is finally going to be released. It's just that it's not quite the large-scale release that people imagined, and in the first round of releases, only twelve theaters showed the film.

The local approach is also relatively common in the film industry. It's just that this practice is generally used for some literary films - compared with large-budget commercial films that are originally aimed at making money, literary and fresh films often don't care much about the box office in the first week, but are worried that no one will watch it, so they will choose to show it locally.

Of course, Levy's movies don't have to worry about no one watching them. It's just that, because of the rush of time, this movie didn't contact too many movie theaters. However, Levy was not originally aiming for a big sale, it was a partial screening, as long as it could be released before the end of 12, there would be no problem.

The film was opened on a small scale and there was no premiere, but even so, there were quite a few people who expressed their interest in the film. When the day of Levy's movie release came, many people still chose to watch the movie.

Levy has also filmed love stories before - that Angel Amelie, which still makes people feel like a classic among classics. Everyone knows that his movie made Winona. Ryder, and this time, people are also rumored that he made this movie for Theron, so what movie will he make? It's quite exciting.

Levy's films, each one will give people different surprises, and this movie directly chose to shoot abroad. It stands to reason that this film is not the first film related to Japan this year, just a few days ago, there was another film shot by a Japanese director...... Of course, that movie is definitely very different from this one. It was a horror film, and it was a literary love story.

But. These are all movies related to Japan, so will Levy make a different movie?

The lights in the distance are lit up, and the movie begins with a beautiful night view of Tokyo. From the dim lights to the buildings in the distance, the beautiful scenery of Tokyo City suddenly appears in people's eyes.

This also made the audience start to get excited. The film is shot quite beautifully, which is also a feature of all of Levy's films.

And soon, the characters from the movie also appeared. First, the old man sitting in the car, he looked through the window. Look at the scenery outside. The character played by Bill Moray has a unique atmosphere of loneliness, which makes people feel quite sluggish at first glance.

Through his eyes, the camera once again overshadows the night scene. The camera begins to shift, and although the background is still a night view of Tokyo, this time it is seen through a glass of glass. On the windowsill, the young woman sits, curled up. It's the same as looking out the window.

Levy's lens, from the very beginning, uses the yearning for the scenery outside the window to shoot the loneliness of two people.

And immediately afterwards, it was indeed like this. The film's camera jumps over the lives of two people. People are beginning to understand. The old man was an outdated actor who went to Japan to shoot commercials. But when he arrived in Japan, it didn't seem to be going well at all. At work, in life. In the family, all aspects of the situation made him feel quite depressed. A foreign country magnifies his midlife crisis.

The woman, on the other hand, came to Japan with her husband shortly after she was married. The woman's life is just as unhappy, and her husband is too busy with his own business to take care of his wife. Women are bored to call their American friends, have nothing to do to travel, arrange flowers by themselves, but they can't get rid of loneliness.

Both of these people are lonely, outdated actors whose work and life are quite unsmooth, and newlywed young wives who came to Japan with their husbands and have nothing to do but travel and play flower arrangement. The loneliness of two people, needless to say, has all been presented in front of people.

Then, as in all movies, they met in a bar.

This also made the audience sit up a little straighter: they were curious to know how Levy would interpret this story: an old man in mid-life crisis and a newly married young woman, such a combination can be said to be quite suitable for extramarital love.

For a man in midlife crisis, a young woman is always able to remind him of his youth. And for the newly married woman who is full of confusion, breaking the shackles of marriage also makes her feel stimulated. When such two people come together, it can be said that it is easy to spark a spark.

Could this be an extramarital affair story?

Soon, the two got to know each other, they began to talk, and the two people who were in the same foreign country also began to find some happiness in their interactions with each other.

The game hall, the Buddhist temple, the music, the night scene, these things, the two no longer feel new or uncomfortable. There is a difference between being accompanied and being unaccompanied, they start to play, they start to adapt, and because with the company of others, they quickly integrate into life.

By the time Charlotte wore a wig, she had begun to feel no stranger to Japan anymore. And when she rested her head on the man's shoulder, the ** of the two people also went to the extreme.

But this kind of **, that's the end here.

The old actor put the young woman on the bed, took off her shoes, helped her pull up the quilt, and watched her quietly. The woman smiled slightly, and it was obvious that she would not refuse a man at this time.

However, the man's face hesitated for a moment, but he turned off the light and walked out of the room. Walking in the corridor, he looked quite lonely. Obviously, the girl was very attractive to him, but he chose to refuse.

Then, he rang the phone to his wife.

Obviously, he was not without influence, he was aroused and swayed among the family and girls. He called his wife, wanting to add weight to the family's heart.

However, this is obviously not very useful. Even on the phone, the child's crying did not stop. The midlife crisis in the old man's heart is still there, and such a call will only deepen his midlife crisis.

Could this be a turning point?

Seeing the movie here, the audience can also see that Levy's film is different from others. This doesn't seem to be a movie that celebrates true love, but on the contrary, he seems to be talking about a different mood.

And in the second half of the movie, it is still a correspondence between two people. This time, the relationship between the two is deeper. Women began to show their embarrassing side to men, and they became more and more willing to accept him. And after chatting, the two of them lay on the bed and talked slowly, which also brought the movie to a climax.

The woman speaks of her loneliness, her troubles with married life, while the man comforts her: it is not easy for the man, who himself suffers from a midlife crisis. However, he still remembered his wife in front of the girl, told her good, and told about his children.

It seems that it is the women who are taking the initiative and the men who are defensive. However, the two people in the shot, the man lying on his back, defenseless, and the woman hunched over, with a guarded look, seemed to explain something.

For both of them, the challenges of cheating are enormous. Neither of them has the courage to take the initiative to break the peace of their existing lives, and they both want each other to break this peace. It's just that women are more confused and overwhelmed.

However, the man's answer was refusal.

He is well aware that there is no future for two people together. This is just a moment of loneliness that brought the two people together, compared to the woman's confusion, there is still a trace of sobriety in his heart, he knows what to do is the best for the two of them.

This choice makes the whole movie different: unlike the extramarital love in countless movies, in this movie, although the two people have a relationship, they have not broken the final boundary after all. They became friends, but they didn't tarnish it. The old man resisted his desires and gave the young woman guidance on life, which was obviously much better than going to bed just to relieve loneliness.

In the end, the man still did not get together with the woman. Although the two of them are attracted to each other and close to each other, in the end, they still do not intersect.

The man and woman were separated, and they no longer seemed to see each other. But the man's words were being fulfilled.

Women began to travel on their own, to temples by themselves, to watch Japanese weddings by themselves, to have fun by themselves - it was not for nothing that she had anything to do with men, she began to realize the charm of Japanese culture, she began to pay attention to these cultures, let them integrate into life, and made herself happy, while men began to participate in various Japanese entertainment activities and began to gradually integrate into Japanese cultural life.

As the man said, everything will be fine: in the first half of the movie, the loneliness of a foreign country is used to tell the confusion of two people, and in the second half of the movie, it is used to start integrating into the life of a foreign country, telling that their lives have changed.

They began to integrate into Japan, they were no longer as confused and helpless as before, their loneliness was reduced, and their confusion was less.

The man and the woman met again, speaking seemingly ordinary words, but with an unexpected concern. Both of them know that the former ** will not come again if he misses it, the man chose to break the woman's predicament at that time, he helped the woman, and the woman has found herself.

When the two people looked at each other and smiled again, the feelings between them were also clear at a glance. Obviously, compared to the story of the movie, this kind of emotion is the focus of the filming.

The man is leaving Tokyo and returning to the United States. At the airport, he said goodbye to the woman. And at the end of the movie, when the two meet again in the vast sea of people, the two of them just look at each other and smile, but they never come together again.

It's all in plain sight. (To be continued......)
