There is a "deception" called sincerity

Halfway through 2010, the film that moved me the most was "Knight & Day" by Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz.

The lineup, plot, and even the translated name are all made clear: this is a very vulgar, routine, and commercial movie. The moment I walked into the cinema and sat down, I didn't have any expectations for it.

However, I have to admit, I watch it high! Even though the male and female leads are not my thing.

They are all restless, they are all confused, they are all pretending to be deep, they are all reasoning, they are all joking, they are all taking spoofs as humor... In such an increasingly impetuous and dull In this era, apart from cartoons like "Ice Age" and "Madagascar", there are really not many movies that make people watch high.

Wrinkles, sagging, brown spots, on the screen magnified 50 times, the faces of Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz no longer look like teenagers. 's drama. Cameron, who holds the title of remaining female, encounters Tom, a lonely hero who can't be beaten

. Popcorn belongs to Coke, to men who want to watch action movies, to women who want to watch love dramas, and to movie theaters far away from the real world.

When the bullets were flying and the sun was shining, Brother Tom approached the dizzy blond old woman with a very unrestrained attitude and gave him a passionate kiss;

I finally couldn't help laughing and scolding: "It's too fake! "

However, at that moment, I clearly felt the heat in my eyes.

To use a vulgar opening remark, that is, "I will recall this moment for a long time in the future" -

at this moment, many images rushed into my mind

: Bomber jacket, Tom, who is very youthful in the fighter plane; Johnny Depp, with disheveled hair and pale face, with scissor hands raised; parted head, round neck T, and simple smile Matt Damon; finally, there are The picturesque DiCaprio over the fish tank...

Now, they're all old and fat; into one-eyed officers, stiff Charlie, and fat, unshaven middle-aged men.

The worries of watching those films have long since vanished, and our youth has also gone.

However, at this moment, Cameron, wearing a bright yellow dress, was striding on the road with a pistol and his long hair was flying; Tom, who was deeply wrinkled, still dared to show his abdominal muscles in front of the camera and say numb love words.

Youth is dead, youth is immortal.

Recently a famous person said he was a sincere liar, and I would say that such a movie is a sincere liar.

Incomparably false stories and plots, but with the most sincere feelings: justice will always win, and lovers will always be reunited; popular, but not vulgar.

I always feel that mainland filmmakers will one day make Once Upon a Time in America and Thief of the Years, but they won't be able to make "Spy: Impossible".
