"Start where you remember the most, where you remember the most, and start there."
25 years ago, Esposito took over a rape and murder case, and his life has also Completely changed since then. He has been away from home for more than ten years, away from his loved ones, relatives and friends, living a life that means nothing to him, marrying a woman he doesn't love, cheating, getting divorced, and finally retiring.
"How can someone waste their whole life and live a meaningless life? How can it be possible?" For 25 years, he has been unable to let go of his choice of the year. He plans to adapt the whole story of the case into a novel. He wants to start here and find For 25 years like this.
"The heaviest punishment is life imprisonment, making him grow old and let him live a meaningless life." In the dark era of judicial corruption, the victim's husband used his life to practice the punishment of criminals and achieve justice. And Esposito's 25 years seemed like a life sentence. Twenty-five years ago, after the tragic death of a friend, he left in a hurry, leaving his beloved in confusion. Over the years, like the typewriter that never made the letter 'A', he could only write Te Amo (I love you) as Te Mo (I fear). Twenty-five years later, when he re-approaches her in the name of the novel, the heroine rationally distances the two, "Looking back is beyond my reach, I can't do anything about it. . . . I need to work all the time, then go home, and My husband is with lovely kids." But, as the whole movie reveals: the eyes are the key, the eyes speak and lie. There were many times when Irene and Esposito didn't have a conversation. They just looked at each other and read everything from each other's eyes. The male protagonist even understands his motives from the eyes of the criminal in the photo.
As the writing progresses, the two still review the bits and pieces of more than 20 years ago. "Have you ever looked at things from a different perspective? You observe others, and this person can help you see through your own life..." I think back then, the male protagonist won the heroine's heart with this confession-like appeal. As for the heroine who wants to close the door that symbolizes the distance between the two. I made statistics throughout the article, and there are a total of 4 episodes involving whether to close the door of the office. It seems that in the heroine's concept, when closing the door is to talk about the private affairs of two people, when the door is opened, it is to talk about public affairs. The 4 plots are interspersed from beginning to end, reflecting the state and progress of the relationship between the two.
When the draft was finished, Erin came to Esposito's house for the first time, and they worked together on the details of the novel. "If that was the case at the time? Why didn't you take me with you?...Fool." Irene's half-joking provocation evoked the regret that the two had buried in their hearts for 25 years, and a sad mood spread quietly. . "I don't want to lose another chance, okay? How can I do nothing? I've asked myself over and over for 25 years. I can only come up with one answer: 'Forget it, it's another life. It's over, don't Ask again, another life has passed away, and you must live in the present.'" After reuniting with the victim's husband, Esposito seemed to be able to let go of his guilt for his friend and his attachment to the past. Finally, he came to Erin's office again...
The narrative style of the film is the way I like very much: take a goal in reality as the main line, interspersed with memories, the two lines cross and progress, and then echo through some special plots, such as The eyes, doors, Sandover's assertions, etc. in this film give people a feeling of weaving. In addition, the actors' acting skills, picture colors and soundtracks have performed very well, and it deserves to be the best foreign language film at the 82nd Academy Awards in 2010.
