Independent production. British film. The recommendation in the magazine before has been on the computer for a long time, and I was picked and looked at today. Very good, although there are some suspected pornographic scenes in the film, but other than these, it is worth recalling.

The opening remarks begin with a man in the dark saying, "It takes approximately 500 pounds to crush a human skull, but a human emotion is a much more delicate thing." Then, as the opera begins, the male protagonist (Ben Willis) calmly narrates During the process of breaking up with his girlfriend (Suzzy), Ben, who seemed calm, must be very sad. Ben can't sleep every night, and because of this, he has eight hours more than ordinary people every day, so he decides to work nights in the supermarket to pass the time.

During the night shift, Ben met colleagues with different personalities. At the same time, as a student of the art college, Ben would often look at static things and appreciate the beautiful female body. During the part-time job, Ben discovered that he had the ability to stop time, so in this stop time, he used his paintbrush to paint women in different poses.

In the struggle of lovelorn, Ben found that he had fallen in love with Sharon, the cashier. Ben was especially sensitive to Sharon's beauty. When sending Sharon home, Sharon gave Ben a kiss, which broke the spell of Ben's insomnia. , that night Ben finally fell asleep. But the misunderstandings after that made Ben lose sleep again.

The film inserts some of the growth history of Ben and his friend Sean. When he was a child, Ben started his enlightenment and understanding of beauty because of his obsession with mature female bodies. In the film, when time is stagnant, everyone is like a wax statue. Only Ben, who has a strong appreciation for beauty, can travel through it and freeze the moment with a brush.

Ben has a lot of inner monologues in the film, I really like the line You can speed it up, you can slow it down, you can even freeze a moment. But you can't rewind time. You can't undo what it was done.

At the end of the film, Sharon was invited to participate in Ben's art exhibition, and Sharon finally understood that Ben actually liked him. The misunderstanding at the party was finally resolved. At this time, it snowed outside the window, and the time froze. Ben pulled Sharon and rushed out the door, through the frozen snowflakes, stopped, and the moment the kiss was back to normal.
The End.

Cashback quotes

  • Ben Willis: You see, I've always wanted to be a painter, and like many artists before me, the female form has always been a great source of fascination. I've always been in awe of the power they posses.

  • Ben Willis: I read once about a woman whose secret fantasy was to have an affair with an artist. She thought he would really see her. He would see every curve, every line, every indentation and love them because they were part of the beauty that made her unique.
