The movie screen is the line that separates the so-called "real" and "fictional" worlds. When the "fictional" image Tom came out of the screen, the real world suddenly became chaotic.
...
This reminds me of an egg that was beaten in a bowl. Suddenly the vitelline membrane was ruptured, causing the yolk to leak a few drops into the transparent egg white, forming a yellow thread, and then more and more, the egg white and the yolk came out. Boundaries start to blur, mix up...
Maybe the movie doesn't focus on the meaning of what is called "real" or what is called "fiction", but it is a very important stroke.
During the Great Depression in the United States, Cecilia used movies to make herself happy. In the process of reminiscing "The Purple Rose of Cairo" over and over again, she cured the difficulties of life - her husband is useless and incompetent, still a domestic abuser, and the family has no money , she herself was fired again, and everything went wrong in her life.
She also fantasized that she might have the same life experience as a movie. And this kind of thing really happened, Tom of her favorite character broke out for her from the movie screen! As a positive character, Tom has no flaws - he is brave, loyal, single-minded, romantic, innocent, innocent... He also dares to fight for Cecilia, resists beatings, does not get hurt... The most important thing is that he is completely In love with Cecilia! This is the most perfect and happiest thing ever!
But good things take a long time, and the film can't go on without Tom. People can only spend money to see the ladies and gentlemen dressed in jewels in the cinema. They come from different scenes and different scenes, complaining and sitting together and playing cards.
Thanks to Tom, the characters in the movie can't play anymore, so they have to do their own things, but it's comfortable~
Cecilia and Tom are very happy, the people in the movie are very confused, the rest is - the director is anxious, the screenwriter is anxious, the producer is anxious, the audience is anxious, the reporter is anxious... The most urgent thing is to shape Tom this The character's actor himself, Jill. If Tom doesn't come back his acting career is going to be up and down! Can be anxious to kill him, anxious to kill him!
He met Cecilia, Cecilia met the actor she admired herself, and they chatted like soulmates. A real actor, a fictional character, two people who look alike hold Cecilia down.
Tom really loves her, because she doesn't give any thought to the prostitutes in the brothel, he can wait for her alone in the playground for a long time, send her flowers, pay for her (of course, the fake money in the movie is finally taken out hahaha )... This is the love in the movie! The love that everyone yearns for!
Unfortunately, fiction is still fiction after all. At a critical moment, Jill "confessed" to Cecilia. She chose Jill under heavy pressure. After all, he is her real idol, and Tom and the people in the movie need him ...
Jill said she was going to take Cecilia to Hollywood, and she was so happy to go home and pack her things. Her husband, Munch, was still just as rude, speaking illogically and giving orders. He said, "You can't keep going," which is true.
Cecilia returns to the cinema, which is empty, with only workers on the ladder, tearing down the title of the movie and announcing the withdrawal of The Purple Rose of Cairo.
What about Jill? Tom returned to the screen, and he hurried away. gone.
Only Cecilia was left messed up in the wind.
Just now, she experienced the so-called "being truly loved by two people", and now, she has no one.
So even so, film and reality are still separated from each other after all. Fiction and reality, after a brief turmoil, now return to a lasting separation and closure.
Yes, Cecilia is also a real person, and her choice may be the choice that millions of people may make - that's why we have to be different and be at peace now.
The egg yolk that has broken the vitelline membrane can no longer be repaired, but a society in extreme chaos will eventually be forcibly restored by people, like pressing the "reverse" button - just like entropy makes everything chaotic, but with the so-called "reality" Different from "fiction", with the order in which people behave in society, a movie is just a movie!
