This is 2003. The sun is shining, the stars are beautiful, the forest is gloomy, and there is a smiling American president; this is the sun, starry sky and nature in 1955, as well as cars, telephones, and a smiling American president. At that time pets, fireworks, smokers, kissing lovers, happy years, or grief... The president has changed term after term, time passed...
This is the reproduction of the beginning of the movie, here, you can’t see When there is sadness, there is only a strong artistic style, just like Wang Jiawei, even if it is sad, it is a process of enjoyment in the eyes of the viewer.
Anna: There is so much sadness in your heart. I am afraid that my existence cannot fill your wounds.
Oliver: If you want to end, then we will end.
All it takes is a line to tell us that there is pain in Oliver's heart. There are many such lines, which explain the direction, background and conflict of the story. You need to understand and pay attention to these words.
As for why Anna could see that Oliver's heart was hurt. This stems from the beginning of their acquaintance. At that party, Anna couldn't speak because of pharyngitis, so she took a pen and had a conversation with Oliver.
Oliver said, let's start with your mother. Anna wrote that I don't know her either. Oliver said, your father? Anna gestured to commit suicide with her hands. Then Anna wrote it down and asked him: Why did you come to the party if you were not happy? He was surprised. He said I thought I was disguised very well. How did you tell? Anna drew a pair of eyes.
Like a god-reader, Anna can understand everything about Oliver through her eyes. When I got up one morning, Anna saw Oliver and said: You look unhappy. Oliver asked: How about you? Are you happy in this room? Anna said: Oh, I'm not good at being happy, I don't know what I'm doing, but I want to stay here. Anna understood the emotion in Oliver's eyes, so she said: OK, and then left.
The love between Anna and Oliver went on in this way, without too much conflict or too much passion. By interpreting each other's hearts, they approached each other and then left each other. Anna is also a wounded woman. She has had three love experiences, while Oliver has four. Several unsuccessful loves caused them to be injured and become the same people. Once, Anna said to Oliver, when many people are around you, you will run away quietly, being alone, alone, right? Oliver said: Yes. Anna said, then, it seems that we are the same kind of people.
Want to love, but dare not love, want to be close to each other, but afraid of hurting each other. They no longer love. But true love requires learning. For Oliver, his love mentor is his father, a person who has hurt him and gave him life guidance.
Oliver's father is a homosexual. He never thought of getting married, but Oliver's mother actively wanted to marry him. Because my mother is a woman of Jewish and black ancestry, during World War II, she was discriminated against because of her Jewish ancestry and was removed from the school sports team. The black ancestry also brings shame, so she needs to rely more than love. Marrying Oliver's father is like having a dependency, even though this dependency is not so reliable. Because of her husband's homosexuality, she did not enjoy the taste of love, and could only depend on her son for life. In the memory of young Oliver, there was never a face of a father, and some of them were mothers. It seems that he gets along well with his mother. But the mutilation of the family still left him with shadows. The shadows of childhood echoed on the adults. Therefore, Oliver was always unhappy, just as Anna had read.
And when he was young, he was forced to marry a woman. As Oliver's father, How could he be happy. Married at the age of 30. After a long 45 years, his wife finally passed away. At this time, Hal was 75 years old, and Hal was also suffering from cancer. He took the responsibility of the marriage that he should bear, and when he was about to die, Hal suddenly chose to let go and live another life. He disclosed his identity and told Oliver that he was a homosexual. Then he joined the gay club and had his own boyfriend. After decades of repressive life, once let go, Hal felt unprecedented happiness and joy. It wasn't until 4 years after coming out that Hal died of cancer. It was not too late for his life, and Hal at least enjoyed a life that truly belonged to him.
As the son of Hal, Oliver accepted the identity of his father Hal as a homosexual. During the last few years with Hal, Hal finally learned life and love. Until he met Anna, this made him a little unpredictable, and wanted to hold him in his arms and live a good life. Finally, under the guidance of his father Hal, Oliver gradually learned to open the shackles on his body and face his own life and emotions.
In the days after Anna left Oliver, Oliver couldn't stop thinking about her. Oliver thought of Anna's eyes, ears, and toes, thought of Anna's way of saying: I LOVE YOU, thought of Anna's smiles and tears, thought of Anna's drips.
Unable to help, Oliver drove to New York to find Anna. After some searching, Oliver dialed Anna's phone, and Oliver said, Anna, I'm sorry, I'm at the door of your New York apartment now. Anna smiled and said: I'm still in Los Angeles, not to New York. Oliver, why leave everyone? Why did you let me go? Oliver said, I'm sorry, I thought that if I tried my best and did everything, things would get better, but there was nothing.
Finally, they sat together again, in Oliver's house. Oliver asked Anna gently, what to do next? Anna said: I don't know. Oliver asked Anna again, what should I do now? Anna smiled and looked at Oliver who was also smiling...
