Lying in bed on Friday night and reading Pulp Fiction, I decided to eat a hamburger the next day.
I went to Beijing A with the manuscript at noon on Saturday, took a walk to the French Cultural Center after eating the hamburger, habitually took a schedule of this month’s screenings, walked into the reading room, and planned to spend some time before reading the manuscript and browse it Movies showing in November. Expanding the film list, I found several films of interest. I was very surprised and circled them with a pen. "Portrait of a Burning Woman" will be screened on November 2. It seems to be today. What time is the screening? 13:30. Take a look at the watch, 13:29. 13:29? !
Hurry up to the screening room. The online tickets are sold out. You can buy tickets on the spot, but there are no seats. The conductor suggested sitting on the steps of the aisle on both sides of the screening room. Walking into the screening room, the front row of steps was full, and the back row was a little leeway, but after sitting down, almost only the top of the actor's head could be seen. So I decided to lean against the wall and stand and watch.
It was the first time to stand and watch a movie, a unique viewing experience. Most importantly, this experience made me realize a common sense - watching a movie, it is best to sit. Movies are other people's dreams, watching movies is watching other people's dreams, rounding up, it's almost like a daydream. In the dark, lying down is too dreamy, standing too awake, only sitting half-dream and half-awake is the best posture and state for watching movies.
After standing upright for two hours, physically, my waist didn't hurt, my legs didn't hurt, I didn't feel tired at all, but unfortunately, I couldn't fully integrate into the story and characters on the spiritual level. A large part of the reason is probably because of the sobriety and refreshment given by standing upright. Position yourself subconsciously as an outsider to watch and examine a work, instead of diving into and feeling a life.
