Chapter XXXV
The plot continues, and with the memory jump, it comes to John's youth.
In this episode, Brother Li knows the story of John and Creek.
It turned out that Xiaoxi was suffering from a mental illness and had difficulty communicating with people.
However, John did not dislike it, and with the blessing and support of his family and friends.
The two held a wedding ceremony at the lighthouse Aniya.
To cure Creek's illness, John would take her on horseback riding three times a year.
During this time, the two lived a carefree and happy life.
Then came John's teenage years, when he was exactly 16 years old.
Since while at school, John saw the maverick girl Creek in his class and was attracted to her uniqueness.
On this day, the girl Xiaoxi was sitting at the staircase of the corridor and was quietly reading a book.
John plucked up his courage and came to the creek and stammered nervously: "Hmm.... I mean... Would you like to watch a movie with me? ”
The girl Xiaoxi glanced at him and replied, "I don't know." ”
"It's okay, I can wait for you to think about it."
"I can't think about it."
"Why?"
Creek: "No date, no time. ”
"So, how about eight o'clock this Saturday?"
"Hmm."
In this way, they agreed to watch a movie together.
On Saturday, John rushed to the cinema but didn't wait for the creek.
I could only reluctantly enter the screening hall and watch the movie alone halfway through, John was in a bad mood and left the screening hall without a mood.
However, as soon as he came out, the brook that he thought had been a no-show followed.
John was surprised: "Brook? Have you been there all the time? I didn't wait for you in the hall before, thinking you weren't coming. ”
Xiaoxi: "Why did you come out halfway through?" We didn't say we were going to watch a movie together."
"No, you're the one who missed the appointment, right?"
At this time, John did not know about the creek.
"What do you mean? Obviously, we've been watching movies together, and you came out first. ”
"We weren't watching together at all, and I didn't even know where you were sitting.
If you see me, why don't you come to me? ”
"What's the matter, we're in the same space, watching the same movie, isn't that great?"
"Hahaha," John laughed happily.
"What are you laughing at?" Creek looked at him in bewilderment.
"You're an interesting person."
"Oh, then, would you still like to watch a movie with me?"
"I'm so happy, let's sit back before the movie is over."
"This time, though, we'll have to sit together."
Appreciating this beautiful and simple love, Brother Li smiled and silently blessed.
With the end of the world of memories of youth and teenagers, the doctors came to childhood.
But after crossing over, the memory world of childhood turned out to be a dazzling blank background, unable to travel through.
After a moment of panic, the two doctors calmly analyzed it, and thought that it was a high-tech instrument that had entered the memory world, and it had malfunctioned.
However, they felt that as long as they influenced the young John and helped him become an astronaut, they would be able to fulfill their wish to go to the moon.
So, the doctors linked all the hundreds of millions of John's old age-adolescence.
Then he changed the memory world a little and arranged for NASA to select astronauts, and the natural target was John.
However, something unexpected happened.
For some reason, John decisively rejected the astronaut and said, "I'm very happy on Earth, and I don't want to go to the moon at all." Both doctors were at a loss.
Brother Li, who watched the movie, was also confused.
That's not old man John's wish, is it?
Why do you suddenly not want to go.
Faced with such an anomaly, both doctors wanted to be rescued.
Various methods were used in the hope of changing John's mind, but in any case, John had no interest in going to the moon.
Thus, the second act of "To the Moon" officially began.
This time, in order to help John fulfill his wish, it obviously failed, so he had to start all over again.
Compile the information and information we have received so far.
The two doctors believe that this must have something to do with John's childhood memory world.
So, after a lot of effort, Dr. Neil discovered that John had taken a large amount of beta blockers during his childhood, which caused John to lose his memory.
Then, the two doctors overcame the blockers and finally came to John's childhood.
It turns out that John has a twin brother named Joey. Unfortunately, this day happened unexpectedly, John's mother hit the playful Joey to death while reversing.
Young John happened to witness this tragedy.
Therefore, in order to make John forget this pain, the doctor gave him a blocker, erasing his childhood memories.
Seeing this truth, Brother Li remembered that when John and Xiaoxi got married, his mother actually called him by the name Joey.
But John said that it was his grandfather's name, and that her mother gave him Xiao Ming.
At the time, John said that Joey was his maternal grandfather's name, a nickname given to him by his mother.
And now, it is indeed a well-laid foreshadowing.
Soon, in order to thoroughly analyze all the memory worlds, the doctors made memory jumps again.
The final scene is a forest.
There's a lively celebration going on here, and John and Joey are brought here by their mom.
John had a great time and also participated in a whack-a-mole mini-game to win a black platypus doll.
As night fell, John was walking when he spotted a high platform in the forest, on which there was a fallen bush, like a bench.
John walked over happily and sat on a bush bench looking at the bright stars in the night sky.
At this moment, a little girl, suddenly, also came here, and she was the young stream.
"Hello." John greeted the girl politely.
But Xiaoxi ignored him and turned to leave.
"Wait, don't be a couple, I'm John, what's your name."
Xiaoxi turned around and stared at him angrily, "You took my place." ”
John touched his nose: "Ah, is this yours?" I'm sorry, I didn't intend to exclude .... Well, would you like to sit with me? ”
"You're here to see the stars, too?"
"yes."
"Okay then."
In this way, the two sat side by side on a bush bench, and they chatted while looking up at the starlight.
At this moment, the night sky is beautiful and dreamy, the gentle full moon hanging high in the sky, blooming with a faint silver glow, and the brilliant stars in the sky are sprinkled into a milky white galaxy that extends into the distance.
This scene is beautiful and tranquil.
John and Creek, they chatted in a friendly manner.
They said they didn't like their names, and they talked about nasty things from the stars in the sky.
After getting closer to each other, Xiaoxi suddenly asked:
"Have you ever tried making an Easter bunny out of stars?".
"Is it like looking for constellations in the sky?"
"John, would you like to give it a try?"
"Okay, I've looked for other constellations, but never for rabbits.
Let's see who finds the cutest rabbit first! ”
Xiaoxi: "Okay, I'll count to three, and we'll get started."
Three, two, one, I found it at first. ”
John: "So fast? Where is it? ”。
"In heaven."
"But where in heaven?"
The creek prompts: "Think big, it's bigger than any other place." ”
John: "Okay, I found it. ”
Xiaoxi's eyes were shining: "Tell me, you see something?" ”
John smirked, "You see, it has two ears and a head. "And what?"
"There are two feet there."
"Yes, is there anything else?"
John affirmed, "And the moon is its bulging belly." ”
"You just found out that I won." Brook smiled. John nodded in the towel, he looked up at the night sky, and the brilliant galaxy was reflected in his black pupils: "Little stream, what do you think these stars are?" ”
"I never told anyone, I always thought they were lighthouses.
These thousands of lighthouses are embedded in the distant sky. ”
Xiaoxi said.
John said, "With so many lighthouses, looking after each other, they must have had a lively life." ”
Xiaoxi shook her head: "Unfortunately, it's not like that, they can see other mobile game lighthouses."
But they also want to communicate with each other, but they can't.
Because the distance is too far, I can't hear other people's voices clearly.
The only thing you can do is shine. ”
"You see, they did, and now the light shines on the other beacons, and it shines on me."
John was puzzled: "Why you?" ”
Brook: "Because someday, I'll be friends with one of them." ”
......
The two chatted happily, like friends who talked about everything, but happy times always passed too quickly.
After that, John's mom called him home.
John had to go, and he reluctantly gave the platypus doll to the creek.
"You, will you come again next year?" Creek asked.
"Of course, what about you?"
"Yes."
"Old place, old time?"
"Hmm," Brook seemed uneasy, "what if you forgot, or got lost?" ”
"Don't worry, we'll meet on the moon." John raised a sunny smile at the stream: "Fool, in the belly of the little rabbit!" ”
Quietly watching this part of the plot, Brother Li was stunned.
At this moment, the clues and mysteries in the movie are linked.
Xiaoxi, who suffers from autism, is obsessed with Ania and keeps folding rabbits, repeatedly asking John what an origami rabbit is?
It's just because she wants John to take this opportunity to remind John of the promise made to each other in the past, under the stars.
Once under the starry sky, the promise made to each other.
However, because of Joey's accident, John lost his memory and forgot his previous agreement.
Fortunately, John and Creek met and came together when they were teenagers.
At the beginning of the story, the clue is simply the news that John is not angry about the caretaker's illness, and the result is that he forgets the agreement and forgets the creek.
And Xiaoxi is autistic and can't communicate better with John. can only help him in his own way, whether it is promising him to watch a movie, or getting married, being by his side, trying to use origami and asking rabbits to awaken his memory.
It wasn't just John who was guarding the stream, the latter was silently guarding John.
Helplessly, until Brook's death, John still doesn't fully understand Brook and can't remember his first memories.
But because of the influence of the subconscious, John, who lost his memory, desperately wanted to go to the moon and fulfill this agreement.
So, he made this dying wish, and even he didn't know what the reason was.
Sorting out the clear clues, Brother Li was full of emotion.
The plot is abruptly reversed, but all the foreshadowing is withdrawn.
Seemingly useless lighthouses, platypus, origami rabbits, and more are all important parts of the plot of the movie.
"To the Moon" does not use deliberately sensational bridges, but just calmly tells the love between John and Creek.
The so-called "going to the moon" is just a touching agreement, not really going to the moon at all.
So, the plot of the movie has developed here, can John's wish still come true?
Brother Li just wanted to witness this story until the last moment.
At this point, the third act of "To the Moon" begins.
The two doctors, who know everything, must create motivation to make John's wish to go to the moon come true.
But due to Joey's accident in the world of childhood memories, as well as all kinds of mishaps.
John's going to the moon is a false proposition in itself.
Dr. Lori, who has a strong sense of responsibility at work, plans to let Brook and John never see each other again for the time being, that is, to erase the childhood agreement and the memories of the encounter when he was a teenager.
Because John wanted to go to the moon precisely because he had an agreement with the creek.
As long as the two did not meet in childhood-adolescence, through the modification of memories and hints, John aspires to be an astronaut to the moon.
To this, Dr. Neil was adamantly opposed: "Lori, what are you kidding.
The fundamental reason why John wants to go to the moon is to fulfill this agreement, and also to meet the creek again.
If we erase their past, what's the point of doing that?
I'm not here to get this salary, but to make these old men happy before they die. ”
"I also love the job, it's just that we're not God and we have to fulfill the contract.
You don't have to worry, I'll arrange it. ”
Despite Neil's objections, Dr. Lori drops the words and leaves alone to carry out his plan.
Seeing this situation, Brother Li's heart tightened, and the plot was like a sharp arrow, mercilessly penetrating his heart.
It was very unacceptable to him, if the encounter between Xiaoxi and John was to disappear, so that John could realize his wish to go to the moon.
Will John be happy in doing so?
Like a resonance with Brother Li's heart, Dr. Neil was anxious and chased after him.
But it was still too late, and the memory world modification began.
Accompanied by a poignant English song,
As a child, John never encountered a creek in the forest, nor did he make a promise.
The teenager John, also not in the hallway of the school, invited the message to the movies.
They didn't meet and fall in love again, let alone get married with Aniah, and even the song "To the Creek" disappeared.
, the love story of Xiaoxi and John, who depended on each other, seemed to come to naught.
Complex emotions such as sadness and unwillingness, helpless sighs, etc., surfaced in Brother Li's heart.
He understood that Dr. Lori was trying to fulfill John's literal wish to go to the moon.
But this approach was too unfair to John and Creek.
As for Dr. Lori's compensation, she avoided Joey's accident and saved him, so that John did not lose his twin brother.
In this way, John, who was a teenager, with the help of Dr. Rollie, finally had the motivation to go to the moon, and he set up his dream of becoming an astronaut.
He studied hard, exercised, and became better and better. Sure enough, in his youth, he did it, was recruited by the space agency, and this wish to go to the moon is about to come true.
Just as John was on his way to the space agency to perform various physical examinations for the moon landing, a new colleague appeared.
After seeing the other party's figure clearly, Brother Li was stunned, because at the same time, it was Xiaoxi.
It turned out that Dr. Rosa's arrangement was to stop the stream from entering John's life so that his rhythm would not be disturbed.
As a result, even she didn't expect that the two people, who would never meet again, met again miraculously.
For some reason, Xiaoxi also became an astronaut in this memory world.
"Hello, my name is John."
"Well, I'm Xiaoxi, please take care of me."
In the end, John and Creek reunited, and under the witness and blessing of countless people, John and Creek took a rocket and flew to the moon.
In the cockpit of the rocket, Creek held out his hand to John.
The end of the movie is frozen on the lens of the two of them interlocking their fingers.....
Seeing this situation, Brother Li remembered the scene agreed at the beginning, and couldn't help but have a slightly sour nose, but then, he still showed a happy smile.
One way or another, at least John, who lost his way, and the creek that awaits him, will meet on the moon.
The original agreement will be completed in another form, and there may be regrets, but they must be happy.
At the end of the movie, Brother Li left a film review.
"This movie is very special, after watching it for a while, I got sand in my eyes, and I couldn't see the whole story through tears."
