Two glances startled and one wears off to the sky

Anyone who knows me will know that I have always been in awe of the classics. I am afraid that my knowledge is superficial and the good things are ruined, and the cow chews peony and wastes the gods. But those good things are like gold rings placed at home. Although they are not often worn to show people, they are only placed in the bottom layer of the wardrobe or in the corner of the drawer, but they always make people miss them. Always wait for the opportunity, take advantage of no one at home, silently dig out and carefully wipe the treasures that are not dusty.
So, I recently watched the famous "Seventy Years Back in Time". The English is so bad, I can't find the original English subtitles in English, maybe it's my RP. After struggling to find a Cantonese version, it can be regarded as having Chinese subtitles, and it can be regarded as a stumbling read.
I can't say I'm disappointed, I can only say that later people were not happy, because many things were lost, and many things were seen too much. From novels to film and television dramas, in recent years, we have all spent time in travel.
Going back to this film, the way to go back to the past is actually by thinking. Compared with the method of taking out modern coins and sending them back, the setting is too rash.
Let's talk about the setting of the characters' feelings, how did they fall in love? The heroine may be in her early twenties, and the girl is Huaichun. When she sees the handsome and tall male lead, her heart is sprouted. I said that I could barely understand and accept it, but what happened to the male lead? Others say "Just because I saw you one more time in the crowd..." He is "Just because I saw one more picture of you in the museum..." Then they made a shameless excuse to make a film about the heroine to ask about the heroine Everything, even traveled back.
Then, "the end-of-life attraction of a strange old woman giving a gold watch in her twilight years" became "the successful seduction of a strange man in an outdated suit". After a one-night stand, travel back to modern times. Of course, I have to say, I think the setting of time travel back is very good. It's just that I hate the image of the male protagonist crossing back. It's actually a dehydrated image. It made me unconsciously think of "de-sperm". Why is it like this? You must know that the heroine waited for him for 60 years and died on the night of her reunion with him. Is it because women are stronger than men? Can stand loneliness and suffering? Are women more persistent than men? The male protagonist was sad, nostalgic, and reluctant to give up because he came back from time travel. In short, he was so depressed that he died of hunger strike. And then live happily with the heroine in heaven. This doesn't seem fair.
Of course, this theatrical theme naturally reminds people of "The Peony Pavilion". Once life and death are related to love, it is destined to be heartbroken and remembered at the same time. The spectators consciously feel the kind of "a glimpse of the world." , love till death." The feelings, sang with tears. When I write this, my computer is playing these songs on a loop, "A Thousand Years of Love", "I Miss You So Much", "Lianlianlian", and "Qianqiu Family and Country Dream". Listening to such a song and writing such words, I think of the waiting that is not emphasized in the movie. The kind of mountain with trees and branches, the kind of waiting that the heart is happy and the gentleman does not know, must be desolate and sweet, sad and warm, stubborn and poignant.
Although the movie seems to have a happy ending, it is still heartbreaking. But also should be said that the classic must be sad. While sad, I have my own resentment.
Not to mention that the male protagonist made the female protagonist wait for 60 years, I don't understand the paradox here, and I don't want to think about it. On the night of simply talking about the bonus watch, the old lady asked him to come back to find her, but he delayed it for eight years. If I were that old lady, what kind of gold watch would I give him, and I would just stuff him a photo album from when I was young and it would be done! If it was eight years ago, the male protagonist would wear it back immediately, and if he wears it back again, he can also give the old lady an explanation. But it took eight years! The old lady's reincarnation can make soy sauce! Too late……
Besides, the so-called "first glance" was actually "second glance". At first glance, she was just a strange old woman, and it was inevitable that he didn't fall in love with her. After being amazed by the photos, he decided to go to the past. In my opinion, he is just a "beautiful family" in love. At the end of the filming according to my ideas, after the male protagonist ascends to heaven, it should be the old lady and the female protagonist.
Finally, I want to say that if this happened today, the beauty who lives and dies for love will most likely become a male diaosi who masturbates and dies violently. There will probably be a news website the next day that "Young Man Suspected Suspected to Die of Desperation in Hotel Suspected Suspected Sudden Death".
