Watching this movie, I admit, it was all about Robert at first. Since Twilight's transformation masterpiece, he did not let me down. Although the acting skills are still a little green and the characters are still relatively thin, but in the melancholy and elegant British fashion as always, the gestures have deduced a completely different life trajectory. Twenty-two-year-old rebellious youth, smoking, being caught in jail by impatient police because of street disputes, and the barrier built by his father's indifference... All stemmed from the departure of his elder brother Michael many years ago, and his heart has been changed since then. put the lock. He engraved his brother's name on the skin near his heart, and every day he went to the cafe where he once left memories, and wrote to his brother in the small black notebook he carried with him. But all kinds of unruly behaviors can't stop the tenderness in his heart. When he accompanies his isolated but talented little sister and smiles at her, the haze is washed away by warmth; when he rushes into his father's office, Waving a picture of his sister, he asked angrily. When he took the shrunken and sad sister in his arms and read the fairy tale softly, I couldn't help but believe that the silly little girl with clear eyes was the happiest sister in the world. So far, the hero's life clues have been unfolded in an orderly manner, the literary and artistic temperament is obvious, and the melancholy style is delicate, but there are no surprises.
Love is the main theme of the film. The heroine Ellie's story initially paralleled Robert's Tyler. At the beginning of the film, Ali and her mother, who is still a little girl, are reflected in the cool and dim green subway lights. The silent and ominous shadows penetrate into the low-pitched laughter, and the anxious premonition becomes reality at the moment when the gangster shoots. Like Michael's death to Tyler, the murder of his mother has left a taboo pain in Ali's heart ever since. At twenty-one, she still refuses to take the subway, an underlying fear of sudden death has created her creed of timely enjoyment, and a rift deepens between her youth and her authoritarian father. The two young people also have a wounded and sealed past. The two lonely hearts meet by chance in helplessness and confusion. The two parallel lines finally converge on a straight line. The old-fashioned encounter and conversation lead to short-term happiness. When the secret is revealed, it is also the expected suspicion, pain and unconditional forgiveness that finally comes, all because of true love.
Up to this point, the film still hasn't brought me too many surprises. Although the slowness and beauty of the music and pictures complement each other to create a poetic and blurred atmosphere, the outdated plot and a hodgepodge of unfocused elements are timely and too protracted. , still revealing the film's unpleasant strong literary and artistic temperament. Until the last ten minutes, the separation of the two and their families made me believe that the film will end in this pure forgiveness and feeling, but I was wrong.
When the short-haired little girl's pure boyish melancholy was pulled back to the classroom by the female teacher's "Hello", and the beautiful Chinese characters on the blackboard behind her read Tuesday, September 11, 2001, the heavy depression that appeared at the beginning of the film hit again, I was in He thought over and over again that this was just a coincidence... But then Tyler was standing in front of the window of his father's office, looking at the unfamiliar and familiar city under the sun, the beautiful flashes reflected in his thoughtful eyes, his father's computer The happy photo of Zhang Zhang with his children on the screen flashed in his mind. The camera zooms out, and the two majestic buildings are displayed together with the sea. Tyler's contemplative figure shrinks into a small dot in the blue tone. Everyone can see the building that seems to swallow him. It is the World Trade Center. building.
A few seconds of silent darkness was heart-wrenching and long, as if the black tunnel of despair had no end. When the screen lit up again, everything played out like a premonition. Tyler's father and Ali's father flashed in sequence in the chaotic cries and crying, and looked up speechlessly. Ali's frightened eyes reflected the sky, and she covered her mouth and cried loudly... When When the short-haired sister walked out of the school and looked up, her confused and vaguely sad expression instantly hit me hard. 911, sure enough, 911.
Tyler is gone. The small black notebook that recorded his contemplation and love was scattered in the dust on the ground, the breeze blew, and the yellow and rotten margins were gently rolled. The camera pulls out his tombstone from the side, and the whole family stands before the tomb in black, staring at the inscription under his name: Beloved Son & Brother. The music flows slowly and sadly, and everything needs to be said. After a few scattered shots, the film ended, and I had the name on Tyler's heartless roommate's arm engraved in my mind, just like the imprint of Michael on his heart; and in the similar dim green subway lights, Ali's azure blue beautiful eyes staring silently. The non-stop music is like a calm river, and it was only then that I realized the true meaning of the director...Thousands of lives, walking on different paths, with different hurts and memories in their hearts, they seem to be clichés All kinds of love, friendship, family... The years have passed, and the years have flowed. Countless beings came into existence, disappeared, and their happiness and pain were ordinary like a speck of dust, forgotten in the vast universe. However, are those ordinary lives really ordinary? The light breath of life in those daily trivial matters contains all the love and pain of a mortal person, the trajectory of life, the thoughts and emotions, all have a potential scorching imprint, that is the existence of human beings Ordinary and great value.
"Remember Me" - REMEMBER ME. After all these things, everything turns into smoke and wind, and after sighing, there is no trace of it; like a deserted lakeside on a summer afternoon, white water birds swept across the lake, the microwaves dissipated, and everything returned to calm, as if it had ended before it happened. Only a passerby who occasionally passes by sees this brief moment. Maybe, he will hide this quiet moment in his heart.
Everything is gone... Is everything really gone?
Loved, hurt, cried, laughed. The life in this world is reincarnated in this vanished existence, in the firmness of despair, shining and glowing. Waking up from a dream, the sun shines into reality, everything seems real and fantasy, only the softness and tenderness in my heart has never been shaken.
