Chapter 557: Heart-Destroying Torture
"The murderer is certainly not Mr. Burt, he is my favorite teacher, his biology classes are interesting and the people are very nice. But he was also unfortunate that his daughter had leukemia. ”
As Susie narrates, the screen shows a school classroom where Mr. Fat Bert is holding two small shrimp and asking them to pretend to dance on a waxed iron plate. The students under the podium burst into laughter, and Susie and Clarissa sat prominently in the middle. Ray was on the left side of the back rows, not smiling, with his right hand propping up his head, looking very bored.
"It's not Joe Iris who is not bad enough to be on this job. ”
A fierce boy sitting behind Susie suddenly pinched her shoulder, and Susie didn't look back, just reached out to knock his hand off, looking unhappy.
"It's not Arti, he's a little weird, and now I know it's because he likes me. ”
The camera focused on a red-curly freckle boy in a few seats to Susie's right, he pretended to be scary and held a long syringe filled with sewage, and wanted to prick at the surrounding classmates, and the corner of his eye secretly paid attention to the left direction, was Susie watching?
"The murderer was my neighbor. ”
With these words, the light and shadow tones of the screen become dark. In a deep room, a middle-aged man with a 70s mustache and round-rimmed glasses stands by the blinds and peeks out the window, and the subjective lens allows the audience to see what he sees, and Susie, dressed in white pajamas, sneakily hides behind a big tree.
The atmosphere of the theater became more and more oppressive, but such a beautiful scene was tarnished.
Then a series of basement shots made the audience's worries more and more intense. The basement is littered with animal bones, a middle-aged man sits at an abrupt desk, drawing a drawing of a hole in the ground, a few bangs, he puts a saw knife, hoe and other tools on the ground, and a close view of the elevation angle, he looks strange and breathes heavily.
Just when the audience's heartstrings were about to sound the alarm, the screen shifted to the nearby Shamon's house.
In a few shots, Abigail was busy with dinner in the dining room, but she was a little careless, and the three Susie sisters and brothers were playing the game of "Monopoly" on the sofa coffee table in the living room, when Jack walked in, and he asked excitedly, "The new ship is about to set sail! Who will help?"
In the three-person shot, Barkley on the left covers his ears, Lincy on the right waves her hand without speaking, and only Susie in the middle raises her hand in interest.
The desk and snowflake glass balls in the study were still there, and the arrangement was a little different, the most obvious being the cabinet of boats in bottles, which were more than books. In the middle and close-up side double shots, the father and daughter sit on both sides of the desk, one left and one right, both with serious faces.
Susie held the glass bottle with both hands, and Jack carried a cotton thread at the mouth of the bottle, and asked solemnly, "Have you helped it up, first mate?"
"Ready, Captain!" replied Susie, her ethereal gray-blue eyes staring at the sailboat in the bottle. With a slight pull of Jack's hand, the sail slowly rose to the mast, and it was done! Susie laughed happily: "Sail smoothly, captain!" Jack laughed and said, "You are indispensable, first mate!"
This joyful father-daughter relationship made the audience's faces smile again, a very strange feeling, smiling and worrying at the same time. The closer I get to that anticipation of destruction, the more my heart tightens, but the more I have a sense of luxury, will it be okay? Unlike the narrator, things will be different......
Suddenly, a rattle rang, and Abigail from downstairs faintly shouted, "It's dinner! Susie, Jack!
This caused a chuckle in the theater, and many family members felt the same way, and my mother always yelled like a life charm: "It's time to eat!" and one shout was not enough, two or three shouts were needed...... Until she sees you, until you wash your hands and sit down at the table.
"I used to think that my dad loved me more than my mom, and I think I just never got to know her in real life. Susie's narration began again, with a faint wist: "My parents are loving and harmonious, always full of passion, I am a child who was accidentally conceived, and so are Linsie and Barkley." ”
The footage synchronized with the narration is a montage of short shots, in which Abigail is busy with the life of a tired housewife, doing housework, taking care of the children, taking care of her husband, walking the dogs, ...... One picture after another, she is doing something for her family or anyone, but in the last one, Abigail is sitting alone on a lounge chair in the backyard drinking tea, she is so intellectual, elegant and beautiful.
The audience, especially the middle-aged women and housewives, watched it with a lot of emotion. They know best what it is, a midlife crisis.
Abigail is happy, she loves her husband, her children, and her family, but she is also unwilling to be unhappy, and her ideals, desires, and pursuits in her career have not been realized. She was a wife, a mother, but not Abigail, and she gave everything for the family. Is it worth it?
The scene on the screen turns, Susie's bedroom, a large box of film negatives is poured on the bed by the woman's hand.
"It's all used up again!?" Abigail was surprised and angry, "Susie, do you know how much it costs here?" Susie next to her was a little aggrieved, "I was wrong for loving photography." Abigail was even more angry: "You're not a photographer, you're a blind photographer, how many pictures of your own feet do you say? Negatives cost money, and printing costs money, you have to understand that our family can't afford it! Your father is just an accountant." Susie was also angry: "Photography happens in an instant. ”
Then Jack walked into the room, and at a glance he knew what was going on, and he said conciliatorily, "All right, baby, you can shoot however you want, but you have to choose the negatives that are worth developing, and that's what we ask." Susie was still aggrieved, strode out of the room, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "I'm afraid that when I'm too old to walk, I haven't photographed even a single hare." ”
Jack smiled helplessly at Abigail, who looked like he was saying, "You're spoiling her!"
This skirmish undoubtedly made this family more real, the Shamon family is not only happy and happy, but also quarrels, trapped by money, etc., this is not a very special family, this is just an ordinary happy family.
The living room of the house was a busy scene, Susie took her schoolbag and left, a big golden retriever dog enthusiastically surrounded her, she muttered, "Go away, holiday." "Lincy is also ready to go to school. Just as the two sisters were about to leave, a cry rang out: "Susie, your new hat!"
Abigail catches up with a new fur hat and hands it to Susie. Susie's expression was stunned, obviously a little disgusted and didn't want to accept it. Lincy gloated and walked briskly by, "Mom, it's so handiwork! Abigail said to Lincy, "You'll have it too!" and then to Susie, "It's cold outside, wear it to school." ”
"Ah......" Susie looked at the pom-pom colorful bell hat in her hand, looked at her mother, and put it on in embarrassment, "Thank you, Mom." "I walked quickly.
The audience could see that Susie did not refuse because of her mother's kindness and the guilt of the quarrel just now, but this hat was very uncomfortable, and Susie wore it in the opening scene in heaven. Fortunately, the clothes were different, she wore a lilac jacket and white trousers, and her blonde hair wrapped in a fur hat and shawl went down.
In a few shots, Susie went out the door and walked down the street. Lincy followed lively, and said in a mocking and sympathetic tone, "You're going to get a new nickname, Jingle-Bells, Jingle-Bells!" Susie strode with a sullen head, "When Mommy can't see it, I'll take it off." ”
Just as the audience felt a sense of joy, it was the subjective shot of the sisters playing and walking through the shutters on the street, which made people's hearts sudden.
The camera cut back, Linxi smiled and said, "I'll report to my mother!" and jumped in front, Susie looked at Linqian who was walking away with a stinky face, and was about to take off her hat and hesitated, obviously not wanting to live up to her mother's kindness, so she finally walked up, saying to herself: "I look like an idiot." ”
The audience watched with amusement as Susie sneakily walked through the back door of the school, and she crept over like a thief after watching a group of bad, obviously hippie-clad male and female students frolicking in.
At the same time, the narrator said anxiously, "I mean, when I get to high school, I want everyone to call me 'Susan', I want to have wavy curls, I want to have a good figure, and most importantly, I want to be so good to everyone that everyone has to worship me......!
Susie walked into the aisle of the stage in the school auditorium to see the bad boy atmosphere around her, where posters of rock stars hung on the side of the stage, cigarette butts in the dark places on the floor, and the audience could smell marijuana through the screen. In the panoramic shot, Susie shrunk her shoulders a little nervously and hurriedly walked by.
Just then, a casual boy's voice interrupts the narrator: "You're beautiful, Susie Shamon." ”
In the middle and close view of the front, Susie was stunned for a moment, and looked around. "I'm here. She looked up in response, and in this large panorama behind her elevation angle, she saw a boy in a black jacket and jeans standing on the stage stand above, it was Xin Lei, and he seemed to be smiling.
The close-up shot makes it clear that he's laughing and sitting down, "Hey." ”
Seeing him, the audience was in good spirits. Ray's subjective lens looked down, Susie looked up, looking happy and flustered, a little stupid, a heart fell straight to the ground, she smiled and asked, "Didn't you hear the bell of the first class?
"One, they don't have much to teach me. The oblique panorama of the sky above, Ray stretched out his hand to Susie on the ground, and said with a smile: "Two, you can come up and take a look, Susie." ”
Close-up of the pitch angle, Susie hesitated for a moment, and looked at the close-up view in the direction of the classroom. Ray's voiceover said in a dull voiceover, "Forget it." "He whistles softly, the melody of Suicide-is-Painless. Susie walked to the stage on the right to climb up, clumsy and crooked. The whistle stopped, and Lei leaned over and said, "I'll help you." He put his hands under her armpits and pulled her up, "Put your feet up and lie down so we won't be discovered." ”
"Oh, okay. Susie said shyly.
In the close-up of the dip angle, Susie to the left and Ray to the right are lying side by side above the stage stand, her pretty face is a little shy and slightly red, his handsome face is a little wicked smile, both eyes are looking at each other, and the squeak of the stand is like a faster and faster heartbeat.
The theater outside the screen is also quiet, and the young audience can't take their eyes off it, this scene is too beautiful.
The lights above softened their figures, and the beating hearts of youth were moving closer without stopping. The camera focused on their hands, Susie's left hand straightened nervously, Ray's right hand slowly leaned in, and finally, he took her hand and squeezed it tightly.
The image cuts back to the close-up in the depression angle, and the expressions of the two have changed, Susie is even more embarrassed, and Ray seems to turn his head further and lean in to kiss her.
Getting closer, getting closer......
"Then ......," Susie's voice trembled slightly. Ray stopped, continued to stare sideways at her, and suddenly laughed, "You're so funny. Susie was silent and did not speak, and the narrator said nervously: "Fortunately, my dad is not here, if he hears it, he will say, 'What's interesting?' I'll tell you how interesting Susie's child is, and her sister Lincy was ...... when she was born."
Ray looked at her and asked, "Tell me what you like?" ”
Susie plucked up her courage and said, "I like to take pictures. ”
"So you secretly filmed Grace Tarkin. Lei said in a trance.
Susie blushed suddenly, her eyes didn't dare to look at him, "I'm not, yes, I am, but I'm not...... How can I say that she was actually tracking wild elephants and rhinos? There was the sound of the door opening, and the teacher's voice said, "The figure we copied has no breasts, and your painting has caused too many problems, you know? Ruth Connors, we won't punish you this time, but if you do it again next time, we will not tolerate it!"
With the sound of the lecture, the image reached the ground next to the stage, and a young girl student of two middle-aged teachers, a man and a woman, walked out of the door next to them. The male teacher scolded the girl with a body art painting in his hand, and after throwing the painting to her, the two teachers walked back to the back of the door.
Ruth, in the middle and near view, holds the painting, her eyes are full of tears, she is dressed in black, gray bell bottoms, and her long black and brown hair is tied into a ponytail, and she looks very unwelcome.
There was a creaking sound of the stand shaking, and Ruth looked at it in surprise. In the panoramic shot of her back, I saw Susie and Ray climbing down from the stage and climbing there, Ray climbed to the ground more than a meter from the ground, jumped to the ground in style, reached out to carry Susie next, and then turned around and left.
In the middle of the double on the side, Ruth on the right asked, "Susie?" Susie on the left smiled a little embarrassedly, and glanced at the close-up of the frame, obviously looking at Ray who was walking away.
How could the good boy Susie Shamon skip class and hide in the auditorium and still climb off the stage?
Ruth also looked at the thunder over there, and immediately understood, she raised her hand to wipe her tears, and said, "Your hat is so childish." ”
Susie whispered, "I know ......"
The camera is everything, the two of them are in the close-up of the frame, the directions are swapped left and right, and the thunder in the depth of the field walks backwards, smiling at them and shouting, "No! Susie, that's cute! I like it." "A single close-up, Susie smiled in surprise, her smile was like the light of a star bursting, this is... Confession?
The narrator's tone is coquettish: "I like Ray, I knew it then, and Ray likes me too." That week, it was amazing. ”
The Kodak Theater is filled with a youthful and sweet atmosphere, and the good feeling makes the audience quietly forget what the story is.
As soon as the narration ends, a gentle and slightly sad soundtrack sounds, like an early morning breeze blowing misty flowers, an Irish classic Believe-Me, if-All-Those-Endearing-Young-Charms. The image synchronized with this pure music is a silent montage.
In class, everyone's seats didn't change, and Ray handed Susie a note. The note passed through several people and then reached hers, Susie on the right side of the close-up opened the note and smiled, and Ray on the left side of the background was also full of energy and no longer bored, although he was supporting his cheek with his palm. Susie took a ballpoint pen and wrote something on the note, not following the grid of the paper.
In the living room of Shamon's house, Linxi unintentionally opened a book of poems on the sofa, and was surprised to see a note full of words sandwiched inside, and laughed after taking it for a few looks. Susie rushed to grab the note in a panic, but Lincy didn't give it to her, and was still reading it. The two sisters immediately chased each other in the living room, Barkley and Holiday joined in, and Jack and Abigail, who heard the noise, leaned on each other helplessly.
In the classroom of the school's movie club, there were more than a dozen students seated, and Susie and Ray sat side by side shaking hands on the left side of the back row, both looking very nervous. On the small screen in the classroom are images of road chases, the 1971 thriller action film "Flywheel Blood," Steven Spielberg's first film.
In the dining room of Shamon's house, the family sat at the table preparing dinner, while Susie imitated the model on the catwalk with her weird hands on her hips, frowning and saying something like an actor acting, and then laughed with joy. The family reluctantly applauded, and Lincy rolled her eyes. "Inexplicably winning the Oscar for Best Actress in her sophomore year of high school" is one of Susie's dreams.
In the neighborhood's shaded streets, Susie and Ray exchange things, including graduation photos, books, and records. Susie's record for Ray was for the Beatles, and Ray for Susie was for the Rolling Stones. He smiled at her graduation photo, in which Susie smiled unnaturally, baring her white teeth but far-fetched. She was also looking at his graduation photos, still so handsome, she smiled happily.
In Susie's bedroom at Shamon's house, the vinyl record player was spinning and the Rolling Stones record sleeve was sitting next to it. Susie shook her head, danced and danced to the music. She stopped suddenly, Abigail pushed open the door and came in to curse something, and Susie walked aggrievedly and turned down the volume of the record player, and then laughed again.
At the locker in the hallway of the school, a few students walked by, Susie was in front of her cabinet to pick up something, Ray came from there, and he called, "Susie!"
The soundtrack gradually dissipates, and this montage makes many viewers, young and old, feel mesmerized, and the first love is nothing more than that.
And some filmmakers and fans are even more surprised, family, campus, family affection, love, blend and intertwine with each other, this montage is amazing!
This is called the unity of emotion, and such a lively and enthusiastic image is accompanied by a sense of amazement and heartache, why? perfect soundtrack? Knowing that these are the beauty of the past? Susie's royal blue coat and yellow bell bottoms are the clothes of the opening scene?
"Ray. On the screen, Susie turned her head and smiled, facing him, it was already natural.
"We can't go together today. "I'm going to attend my dad's talk at the University of Pennsylvania in the afternoon, and he wants me to come on stage and talk about my adolescent experience." Susie exclaimed, "That's great." Ray shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Hey, it's the weekend, how about we go to dinner and watch a movie together after school tomorrow?" Ray's smile widened, "Then you remember to wear that bell hat, I like you like that." Susie was slightly ashamed and noncommittal.
The affection between the two can almost spread out of the screen.
Ray said, "I'll see you later." He was about to turn to leave, when suddenly his feet slipped and he fell forward. In the middle and close-up of the side of the two, there was a bang, Susie on the left was clinging to the locker, and Ray, who fell from the right, pressed the cabinet with his right hand, and the palm of his hand was pressed above her shoulder.
The two of them were one head apart, he was looking down, she was looking up, her eyes were looking at each other, staring at each other quietly.
The gentle Believe-Me, if-All-Those-Endearing-Young-Charms continued to sound again.
After a few seconds, the camera was zooming in, and Ray was slowly lowering her head to Susie, her eyes first dodging, and as his face came closer, she gradually stared at him, her cheeks reddening. His forehead almost touched hers, and the closer he got there, the softer her expression became.
When the camera became a close-up shot, Lei opened his lips slightly, and kissed Susie's lips gently, his eyes were open, and her eyes were slightly closed, revealing the light of first love.
This moment is as beautiful as the rainbow aura emitted by a gas gun.
This kiss is completely pure, sincere and beautiful.
Susie Shamon and Ray Sheen, a youthful couple, a natural couple.
The atmosphere in the theater is so soft that everyone seems to fall in love. Not only love, but all the bright futures, are just around the corner, and Susie is going to embrace them. Susie, who is kind and innocent, her youth and her life have just begun a new chapter......
On the big screen, this gentle kiss was picked up by the scene camera, the sky was full of sunset, the school was obviously already out, and only a few students were leaving. Susie walked along the road with a brown crossbody bag on her back, the smile on her face like a reminiscence of her first kiss in the morning.
When watching Susie walk alone across the football field behind the school and into a barren cornfield after the autumn harvest, the audience's hearts suddenly shudder and sting, don't, don't continue!
The corn stalks in the field were trampled in a mess, and the field path was difficult to walk, so Susie took out her bell hat and put it on, and almost fell on her heel and stopped.
"Don't let me scare you. Suddenly, a strange middle-aged man's voiceover sounded, and Susie turned her head in startle. In this side shot, I saw the middle-aged man with a mustache standing on the left, not far from Susie. She said hello, "Mr. Harvey." ”
The hearts of the audience were sinking rapidly, and a weak tension quietly enveloped the theater......
"You're the eldest daughter of the Shamon family, aren't you?" The close-up shot made Mr. Harvey's smile so disgusting, and the seemingly gentle eyes behind the round lenses concealed desire.
"Yes. Susie nodded and headed home.
The extreme tension of the theater did not affect the slightest thing on the screen, and Mr. Harvey stopped Susie and said that he had built a hole in the neighborhood for the children of the community, and that he might be able to use it as a meeting place for a club or something, and let her go and give some advice. Susie didn't want to go, saying she was going home when it got dark. But Mr. Harvey looked pitiful and said, "I used to have a daughter, and she was sick and died. I do all this to keep the kids happy. ”
Hearing this, Susie paused again, probably thinking of Mr. Burt, who took pity on Mr. Harvey, and asked, "I don't see any holes in the ground." ”
"Here. Mr. Harvey trampled on the cornfield under his feet and made a thumping sound, "Do you hear me, this is wood, put on the wood, and the hole in the ground will not collapse." ”
Susie walked over with some curiosity, and with each step she took closer, the audience's heartstrings tightened a little more, and she walked up to Mr. Harvey, and her heartstrings would break at any moment. Looking down at the camera, I saw that there was an entrance to the hole in the cornfield, a mud staircase. Mr. Harvey smiled and said, "Let's go in and have a look." Susie looked at him and walked up the stairs without much thought. Mr. Harvey immediately followed in, looked around, and pulled up the wooden planks that covered the entrance, and the scene was captured from a long shot.
There was a terrible silence in the theater, and the audience knew what was going to happen......
"Susie hasn't come home yet?" parallel montage. Dinner was being prepared in the dining room of Shamon's house, and Abigail, who was busy at the kitchen cabinet, was a little angry: "These junior high school students!" Jack, who was sitting at the table, said happily: "The next time I see the child of the Xin family, I will say that he will have a meal." Abigail was still angry: "It's getting more and more presumptuous." ”
In the weirdly lit hole, Susie is looking around curiously, the hole is not big, people can stand upright, a row of shelves are dug along the wall on the right, there is a fluorescent lamp, some lit candles, all like ghost fires, and there are copper mirrors, razors, saw knives, cloth bags and other things next to them.
Mr. Harvey followed Susie and asked her to sit down on a clay stool on the left, holding a bottle of soda for her to drink.
"Thanks, no need, I'm not thirsty. Susie declined, her eyes still looking around. Mr. Harvey's tone became cold: "Be polite, I'm sure the other children will drink it, you sometimes have to listen to the adults." Susie was a little frightened, and took a sip of his soda in confusion. Mr. Harvey then said, "Susie, take off your clothes, and I'm going to check to see if you're still a virgin." ”
Susie's face suddenly changed and her brow furrowed.
Off the screen, the audience's hearts seemed to be weighed down by a boulder, and they couldn't help but hold their breath, and then took a deep breath.
"Mr. Harvey, I really have to go home. Susie put down the soda bottle and stood up to leave, her expression full of fear.
"Take your clothes off. Mr. Harvey's commanding tone was heavy, and the mustache on his face was warping.
"Mr. Harvey, please let me go. Susie already knew it was bad, pleading.
"You can't go, Susie, you're mine. Mr. Harvey took off his khaki jacket, approached Susie, and said, "I want you, Susie." Susie pushed him away with a thud from the retreat, his round-rimmed glasses falling out, and she hurried towards the entrance of the cave.
In the auditorium of the University of Pennsylvania, to the enthusiastic applause of more than fifty students, Ray walked up to the podium and stood next to his father. In the dining room of Shamon's house, the table was already full of food, and Lyncy and Barkley happily sat down, and Abigail said angrily, "Susie must be punished this time." Jack looked at his watch and began to look worried.
The terrifying and heavy soundtrack suddenly sounded, and in the dark cavern, Susie had just rushed to the stairs at the entrance of the cave, but was pulled back from behind by Mr. Harvey. She cried and struggled desperately to resist, but was knocked to the ground by Mr. Harvey after a few blows. The reverse shot from the bottom angle shows Mr. Harvey pressing against Susie.
"Susie, you're so beautiful. Mr. Harvey's strange words reached the ears of everyone in the audience, and everyone's heart ached.
In the auditorium of the University of Pennsylvania, Ray's speech resounded through the room: "I want to talk about... Love. He smiled happily and continued, "I've been moving around with my parents since I was a child, and it's been almost a year since I came here, and a week ago I just wanted to grow up and get out of this place as soon as possible. But now... Ha, I feel so good because I'm in love with a nice girl. So my advice is, to quickly integrate into the local area, find someone you like to fall in love with. The students in the audience laughed and cheered.
The image returns to the cave, a close-up of the overhead angle, and only Susie's fragile face is found in the entire frame, surrounded by a dim light that seems to be on the edge of hell.
The hearts of the audience were in their throats, and the media people were amazed, this was Mr. Harvey's subjective shot, and every audience was forced to substitute for Mr. Harvey, and he dared to shoot like this...... This kind of technique can make a movie and a director scolded......
This kind of method is too cruel.
Such a director is too dark.
"You're wearing white panties. Mr. Harvey's voiceover, "Look at me." ”
Susie on the screen began to tremble all over, her pretty face was full of tears, and her helpless gray-blue eyes stared straight at each audience.
"Please......" she cried.
The audience wanted to save her, but there was nothing they could do but watch Susie's head rise weirdly, and her innocent face was only distorted in pain at this time.
In the dining room of Shamon's house, before dinner began, Lyncy and Barkley sat there in a daze, walking around anxiously on holiday. Abigail worried, "Jack, she's never tried not to come home so late. Jack stood up and walked out, "I'll go out and look for her." His pace quickened, and he was running before he even stepped out of the dining room.
"Please, don't do that...... Don't do that, please...... Please...... Don't ...... like that"
As Susie cried, she returned to the sinful scene, pleading over and over again, her voice faint, her eyes scattered, like a flower withering.
Suddenly, the camera zooms out to a close-up, and every viewer sees Susie bare-shouldered, with shocking red marks on her shoulders, a man's big hand holding a razor to the right side of her neck, and Mr. Harvey's voice is up again: "Tell me you love me." ”
The hearts of the audience were broken, and many people suddenly burst into tears, don't ...... Don't!!
"Susie, tell me you love me. Mr. Harvey added.
The camera zoomed back to a big close-up, Susie muttered her lips slightly, her expression was gloomy and trance-like a light going out, "I... Love... You. As soon as her trembling voice fell, a little blood-like red dot suddenly appeared at the bottom of the screen, and the next moment, when it seemed that a sea of blood was coming up, the entire screen was black, silent.
But there seemed to be a crisp and soft girlish voice that said:
My surname is Shamon, it sounds like "salmon", and my name is Susie. I was 14 years old when I was killed on December 6, 1973.
Some of the audience in the Kodak Theater could not bear to look at the screen, some were covered in goosebumps and cold sweat, some were crying, choked, and even cried, some were restless, some were slumped in their seats, some were holding their heads in their hands, some were retching in discomfort, and some were sighing......
The more I came back to my senses and understood exactly what had happened, the more I couldn't help myself.
Happy families are separated, sincere love is torn apart, and youthful dreams are shattered.
Susie, her body, her soul, everything was falling apart.
Everything is desecrated.
The film runs for 35 minutes, and it's a heart-wrenching torture.
Grid's first film.
In the dining room of Shamon's house, the family sat at the table preparing dinner, while Susie imitated the model on the catwalk with her weird hands on her hips, frowning and saying something like an actor acting, and then laughed with joy. The family reluctantly applauded, and Lincy rolled her eyes. "Inexplicably winning the Oscar for Best Actress in her sophomore year of high school" is one of Susie's dreams.
In the neighborhood's shaded streets, Susie and Ray exchange things, including graduation photos, books, and records.

She was also looking at his graduation photos, still so handsome, she smiled happily.
In Susie's bedroom at Shamon's house, the vinyl record player was spinning and the Rolling Stones record sleeve was sitting next to it. Susie shook her head, danced and danced to the music. She stopped suddenly, Abigail pushed open the door and came in to curse something, and Susie walked aggrievedly and turned down the volume of the record player, and then laughed again.
At the locker in the hallway of the school, a few students walked by, Susie was in front of her cabinet to pick up something, Ray came from there, and he called, "Susie!"
The soundtrack gradually dissipates, and this montage makes many viewers, young and old, feel mesmerized, and the first love is nothing more than that.
And some filmmakers and fans are even more surprised, family, campus, family affection, love, blend and intertwine with each other, this montage is amazing!

"Ray. On the screen, Susie turned her head and smiled, facing him, it was already natural.

Ray's smile widened, "Then you remember to wear that bell hat, I like you like that." Susie was slightly ashamed and noncommittal.
The affection between the two can almost spread out of the screen.
Ray said, "I'll see you later." He was about to turn to leave, when suddenly his feet slipped and he fell forward. In the middle and close-up of the side of the two, there was a bang, Susie on the left was clinging to the locker, and Ray, who fell from the right, pressed the cabinet with his right hand, and the palm of his hand was pressed above her shoulder.
The two of them were one head apart, he was looking down, she was looking up, her eyes were looking at each other, staring at each other quietly.
The gentle Believe-Me, if-All-Those-Endearing-Young-Charms continued to sound again.
After a few seconds, the camera was zooming in, and Ray was slowly lowering her head to Susie, her eyes first dodging, and as his face came closer, she gradually stared at him, her cheeks reddening. His forehead almost touched hers, and the closer he got there, the softer her expression became.
When the camera became a close-up shot, Lei opened his lips slightly, and kissed Susie's lips gently, his eyes were open, and her eyes were slightly closed, revealing the light of first love.
This moment is as beautiful as the rainbow aura emitted by a gas gun.
This kiss is completely pure, sincere and beautiful.
Susie Shamon and Ray Sheen, a youthful couple, a natural couple.
The atmosphere in the theater is so soft that everyone seems to fall in love. Not only love, but all the bright futures, are just around the corner, and Susie is going to embrace them. Susie, who is kind and innocent, her youth and her life have just begun a new chapter......
On the big screen, this gentle kiss was picked up by the scene camera, the sky was full of sunset, the school was obviously already out, and only a few students were leaving. Susie walked along the road with a brown crossbody bag on her back, the smile on her face like a reminiscence of her first kiss in the morning.
When watching Susie walk alone across the football field behind the school and into a barren cornfield after the autumn harvest, the audience's hearts suddenly shudder and sting, don't, don't continue!
The corn stalks in the field were trampled in a mess, and the field path was difficult to walk, so Susie took out her bell hat and put it on, and almost fell on her heel and stopped.
"Don't let me scare you. Suddenly, a strange middle-aged man's voiceover sounded, and Susie turned her head in startle. In this side shot, I saw the middle-aged man with a mustache standing on the left, not far from Susie. She said hello, "Mr. Harvey." ”
The hearts of the audience were sinking rapidly, and a weak tension quietly enveloped the theater......
"You're the eldest daughter of the Shamon family, aren't you?" The close-up shot made Mr. Harvey's smile so disgusting, and the seemingly gentle eyes behind the round lenses concealed desire.
"Yes. Susie nodded and headed home.
The extreme tension of the theater did not affect the slightest thing on the screen, and Mr. Harvey stopped Susie and said that he had built a hole in the neighborhood for the children of the community, and that he might be able to use it as a meeting place for a club or something, and let her go and give some advice. Susie didn't want to go, saying she was going home when it got dark. But Mr. Harvey looked pitiful and said, "I used to have a daughter, and she was sick and died. I do all this to keep the kids happy. ”
Hearing this, Susie paused again, probably thinking of Mr. Burt, who took pity on Mr. Harvey, and asked, "I don't see any holes in the ground." ”
"Here. Mr. Harvey trampled on the cornfield under his feet and made a thumping sound, "Do you hear me, this is wood, put on the wood, and the hole in the ground will not collapse." ”
Susie walked over with some curiosity, and with each step she took closer, the audience's heartstrings tightened a little more, and she walked up to Mr. Harvey, and her heartstrings would break at any moment. Looking down at the camera, I saw that there was an entrance to the hole in the cornfield, a mud staircase. Mr. Harvey smiled and said, "Let's go in and have a look." Susie looked at him and walked up the stairs without much thought. Mr. Harvey immediately followed in, looked around, and pulled up the wooden planks that covered the entrance, and the scene was captured from a long shot.
There was a terrible silence in the theater, and the audience knew what was going to happen......
"Susie hasn't come home yet?" parallel montage. Dinner was being prepared in the dining room of Shamon's house, and Abigail, who was busy at the kitchen cabinet, was a little angry: "These junior high school students!" Jack, who was sitting at the table, said happily: "The next time I see the child of the Xin family, I will say that he will have a meal." Abigail was still angry: "It's getting more and more presumptuous." ”
In the weirdly lit hole, Susie is looking around curiously, the hole is not big, people can stand upright, a row of shelves are dug along the wall on the right, there is a fluorescent lamp, some lit candles, all like ghost fires, and there are copper mirrors, razors, saw knives, cloth bags and other things next to them.
Mr. Harvey followed Susie and asked her to sit down on a clay stool on the left, holding a bottle of soda for her to drink.
"Thanks, no need, I'm not thirsty. Susie declined, her eyes still looking around. Mr. Harvey's tone became cold: "Be polite, I'm sure the other children will drink it, you sometimes have to listen to the adults." Susie was a little frightened, and took a sip of his soda in confusion. Mr. Harvey then said, "Susie, take off your clothes, and I'm going to check to see if you're still a virgin." ”
Susie's face suddenly changed and her brow furrowed.
Off the screen, the audience's hearts seemed to be weighed down by a boulder, and they couldn't help but hold their breath, and then took a deep breath.
"Mr. Harvey, I really have to go home. Susie put down the soda bottle and stood up to leave, her expression full of fear.
"Take your clothes off. Mr. Harvey's commanding tone was heavy, and the mustache on his face was warping.
"Mr. Harvey, please let me go. Susie already knew it was bad, pleading.
"You can't go, Susie, you're mine. Mr. Harvey took off his khaki jacket, approached Susie, and said, "I want you, Susie." Susie pushed him away with a thud from the retreat, his round-rimmed glasses falling out, and she hurried towards the entrance of the cave.
In the auditorium of the University of Pennsylvania, to the enthusiastic applause of more than fifty students, Ray walked up to the podium and stood next to his father. In the dining room of Shamon's house, the table was already full of food, and Lyncy and Barkley happily sat down, and Abigail said angrily, "Susie must be punished this time." Jack looked at his watch and began to look worried.
The terrifying and heavy soundtrack suddenly sounded, and in the dark cavern, Susie had just rushed to the stairs at the entrance of the cave, but was pulled back from behind by Mr. Harvey. She cried and struggled desperately to resist, but was knocked to the ground by Mr. Harvey after a few blows. The reverse shot from the bottom angle shows Mr. Harvey pressing against Susie.
"Susie, you're so beautiful. Mr. Harvey's strange words reached the ears of everyone in the audience, and everyone's heart ached.
In the auditorium of the University of Pennsylvania, Ray's speech resounded through the room: "I want to talk about... Love. He smiled happily and continued, "I've been moving around with my parents since I was a child, and it's been almost a year since I came here, and a week ago I just wanted to grow up and get out of this place as soon as possible. But now... Ha, I feel so good because I'm in love with a nice girl. So my advice is, to quickly integrate into the local area, find someone you like to fall in love with. The students in the audience laughed and cheered.
The image returns to the cave, a close-up of the overhead angle, and only Susie's fragile face is found in the entire frame, surrounded by a dim light that seems to be on the edge of hell.
The hearts of the audience were in their throats, and the media people were amazed, this was Mr. Harvey's subjective shot, and every audience was forced to substitute for Mr. Harvey, and he dared to shoot like this...... This kind of technique can make a movie and a director scolded......
This kind of method is too cruel.
Such a director is too dark.
"You're wearing white panties. Mr. Harvey's voiceover, "Look at me." ”
Susie on the screen began to tremble all over, her pretty face was full of tears, and her helpless gray-blue eyes stared straight at each audience.
"Please......" she cried.
The audience wanted to save her, but there was nothing they could do but watch Susie's head rise weirdly, and her innocent face was only distorted in pain at this time.
In the dining room of Shamon's house, before dinner began, Lyncy and Barkley sat there in a daze, walking around anxiously on holiday. Abigail worried, "Jack, she's never tried not to come home so late. Jack stood up and walked out, "I'll go out and look for her." His pace quickened, and he was running before he even stepped out of the dining room.
"Please, don't do that...... Don't do that, please...... Please...... Don't ...... like that"
As Susie cried, she returned to the sinful scene, pleading over and over again, her voice faint, her eyes scattered, like a flower withering.
Suddenly, the camera zooms out to a close-up, and every viewer sees Susie bare-shouldered, with shocking red marks on her shoulders, a man's big hand holding a razor to the right side of her neck, and Mr. Harvey's voice is up again: "Tell me you love me." ”
The hearts of the audience were broken, and many people suddenly burst into tears, don't ...... Don't!!
"Susie, tell me you love me. Mr. Harvey added.
The camera zoomed back to a big close-up, Susie muttered her lips slightly, her expression was gloomy and trance-like a light going out, "I... Love... You. As soon as her trembling voice fell, a little blood-like red dot suddenly appeared at the bottom of the screen, and the next moment, when it seemed that a sea of blood was coming up, the entire screen was black, silent.
But there seemed to be a crisp and soft girlish voice that said:
My surname is Shamon, it sounds like "salmon", and my name is Susie. I was 14 years old when I was killed on December 6, 1973.
Some of the audience in the Kodak Theater could not bear to look at the screen, some were covered in goosebumps and cold sweat, some were crying, choked, and even cried, some were restless, some were slumped in their seats, some were holding their heads in their hands, some were retching in discomfort, and some were sighing......
The more I came back to my senses and understood exactly what had happened, the more I couldn't help myself.
Happy families are separated, sincere love is torn apart, and youthful dreams are shattered.
Susie, her body, her soul, everything was falling apart.
Everything is desecrated.
The film runs for 35 minutes, and it's a heart-wrenching torture.
