What do parents who are used to watching Korean dramas dying of CP feel? — How does this American film, which premiered in 1998, look familiar? But it's not right. From the perspective of the timeline, this should be the pioneer of fantasy romance dramas.
Later, we probably always watched American blockbusters with all kinds of special effects, but ignored the fact that American love movies also had a sweet and sultry little freshness. The sweet sister in the 1990s and the later rotten movie Shu Mi were very fresh at that time.
The plot is actually very old-fashioned. It is probably what the Chinese say, "I am not born before you, but I am old when you are born." Those of us who have been obsessed with Korean dramas probably knew the ending from the moment we knew that Nicolas Cage was an angel. When I was a kid, I always couldn't stand this kind of drama. It's like two people meeting to be together, one person is waiting, one person finally comes, and the moment he comes, the other person leaves. The deepest impression is when I watched the last episode of Carina Lau and Huang Rihua's "Unshirkable" when I was a child. The heroine came and touched the man's face for a long time. Can you imagine it? This brother slept so deadly, and when he woke up, the heroine left. We don't believe this is life, we prefer to believe that two people who love each other will be together, so when Meg Ryan ran out on a bicycle, he kept thinking: don't die, but no zuo no die is like this , they are destined not to be together.
In fact, I learned later that regret is the theme of life. In real life, there are many people who love each other and cannot be together. Every plot is more hurtful than the movie. However, you later found out that those who encountered something in real life also lived strong.
So it turns out that another layer of meaning comes. Even if it's just once, even if it's just a kiss, even if it's just a touch of a lover's hair, even if it hurts and loves once, it's better than eternity without knowing it.
In life, people have to make choices. Only people can make free choices. People have the freedom to choose. Therefore, people are people.
When an angel has free will, he has already fallen into the mortal world.
What a lovely black magic it's called love.
The angel who was smashed to death dragged a big robe and danced and sang in the street was my favorite passage, and I watched it many times. At that moment, his happiness infected the entire screen, ah, what a beautiful thing it is to fall in love with someone, even if you bleed, you will be so happy, this is the legendary "pain and happiness".
Happiness is very easy to obtain, because happiness is instantaneous and momentary, but people are growing, and the pursuit of happiness is so far away, perhaps before reaching it, it is already painful. The angel finally understands the meaning of human beings. There is life and death, joy and pain, gain and loss, and these are not within the control of human beings, but he still bought a lot of her favorite pears, one bite at a time. Eat 'em - oh yo, eat pears, what a sad fruit!
I met Nicolas Cage through "Face Change", "8mm" and "Stickman". It was the first time I saw him act in a romantic movie. Those blue eyes were killing me. In 1998, how could I not love him. I have liked Meg Ryan, the American sweet girl, for many years. Now she is over half a hundred years old, but who hasn't been young and sweet like a peach? Meg Ryan's smile is very sunny. If I've seen anyone with a smile that can be compared to it later, it's Kim Go Eun of the post-90s generation, because that one smile will make you fall in love with a girl unconditionally. It's actually very rare. . I first fell in love with Meg Ryan after watching "Harry Met Sally", and then I watched a lot more, including the romance with Hanks. Time can change a person's face, but not Megre. Graceful girl smile, I still like her.
I went to a coffee shop a while ago and came across Hemingway's "Feast of the Flow", Gang Zhen, although Hemingway is well-known, I didn't like "The Old Man and the Sea", and then I watched "The Snow of Kilimanjaro" It's not bad, it's just that I don't like his work, but the "Flowing Feast" I came across was surprisingly appetizing, which changed the whole view of Hemingway. It is a wonderful experience to see a man and a woman pass the emotional code through this book in the movie, because those words also touched me.
Angels live in the library, what a lovely setting. So, go to the library more, maybe an angel is touching you when you are reading, no matter what, it is good to be touched by an angel, maybe it will bring good luck - although from the film, it seems to be the opposite. Didn't Borges say that heaven is what a library looks like, that's how young literary and artistic people fall in love.
