But there are unexpected encounters everywhere in life. It's like wandering to the verycd homepage by chance, and finding that the "up" that I haven't seen in time has come out on DVD, and the gray poster picture next to "up", named Mary and Max. The next film is also the next film, just hang the two together.
I was moved by the unexpected encounter next to "up".
What are the unexpected encounters in the movie? When Mary in Australia went to the post office to "borrow" the envelope with her mother, she tore a name and mailing address from a phone book with the Statue of Liberty painted on it. In this way, two defective people are connected since then, and their lives It is therefore different.
Mary is a child with a "poop color" birthmark on her forehead. She is not good-looking, she has no friends, and she has low self-esteem. But her head is full of funny and bizarre thoughts, like whether children in America are born from Coke cans or whether taxi drivers pay passengers if they drive backwards.
It was so lovely that she knocked on a window in distant New York. The middle-aged man in the window had bulimia, Aspergerson's mental illness, and cognitive impairment of human expressions. But he said to Mary, you are my friend, my only friend.
Ever since Marx received Mary's letter, he has put an orange flower on his little cap. Colors appeared in gray New York, and in addition to the flower, there was Mary's self-portrait and the cherry-flavored chocolate mailed to him.
They communicated a lot of letters, they wrote for many years, they made troubles, but they still couldn't forget each other. I think it's because the bits and pieces in the letter recorded each other's most bitter and most beautiful lives.
Later, he finally apologized to her, and she finally came to New York, hoping to meet her best friend. Sitting softly next to her friend, she looked up at the photo portraits of letters that covered the ceiling. And, looking at the ceiling is also his last gesture... I burst into tears. The grief was like reading an essay by Luo Yijun before, when a person learned that a playmate who hunted shrimp and panned for gold as a child had committed suicide many years later
. That picture was sealed up. No one can remember the stream, the hole, the small waterway that I met, those small jewel-like fish... when I met me on a certain day, no one could reminisce with fondness and emotion. The details are true and false..." The
memory becomes a person's self-talk, which is the saddest speech. Because the people who can share are no longer there.
The movie is fortunate in those large narrations of letters, trivial, warm and full of fun. Various character settings, an alcoholic mother, a father who studies dead birds, a stammering damien, a "homophobic" neighbor, a blind old lady who makes soup, a horny woman with bulimia, and they are all performed by people who are not understood by society. Their different lives have different endings. The subject matter of the story is also very broad. The production of clay is not as gorgeous as "up", but the details with body temperature are always memorable.
At the end of the film, the lights in New York gradually turned on, and I was surprised to find that the story of Mary and Marx was only a glimpse of this fucking and magical life.
And everyone is waiting for an unexpected encounter, and they wait patiently, because after waiting, their lives will become colorful.
