I was drawn to the poster.
Dim yellow lights, quiet coffee houses, men and women chatting, there is a story at a glance.
Feeling the beauty and empathizing in the stories of others is the romance in the bones of literary and artistic youth.
The story begins with an elderly marriage crisis.
The man's name is Victor, a book illustrator. Four years ago, after he was laid off due to the decline of the publishing industry, he lived in retirement, reading books every day, eating and waiting for death.
All of this, in the eyes of his wife, Mariana, is getting more and more annoying. She describes Victor as a bad old man who has no hope for society, will not make any progress in life, is useless, and is very annoying.
In the face of his wife's vitriol, Victor may be really old, too lazy to quarrel, too lazy to argue, and the forbearance is over. Only once he failed to hold back, he was a little bit mad at Marianne, and was swept out of the house.
Victor actually knew very well that the main problem was with him.
Although Mariana is old, she is still curious about new things. She can use a tablet to surf the Internet, use VR eyes to see the scenery, and even drives a Tesla. Accepting new things is the secret to her eternal youth. .
Victor wants to get back to Marianne's side, so what he needs to do is to get back his love for life, so he plans to try the "time traveler" plan recommended by his son.
The "Time Traveler" program is a business of M&S. It is not a real time travel, but provides customers with a full immersion experience through setting, role-playing, script design, etc. according to the requirements of customers. environment, to find a sense of time travel.
Coincidentally, when Victor was young, he had the habit of recording life by hand, which helped a lot in the layout of the scene and the design of the plot.
Back in May 14, 1974, it was Victor's choice, the day he met Marianne.
At the beginning, it was difficult for Victor to get into the role. After all, he had to play "playing house" with so many unfamiliar actors. His whole body was rejected. wrong again.
The subtle change in the matter is that the actress who plays "Marianna" appeared on the stage. Her name is Margo. She is a very individual girl, who dares to love and hate, and her emotions are sincere and warm, much like the "Marianna" of the year.
Perhaps because of her experience, Margot knows very well how to deal with a client like Victor, which is to leave the script and play it free.
Your Marianne likes vodka, and I like whiskey, Sister Margot. Do you dare to have an opinion, old man?
Of course Victor didn't dare, and he even felt a little excited. It turned out that he was still the same boy he used to be, and he had not changed in the slightest.
Unable to stand up to Margo's praise, Victor was praised in three ways, and took the initiative to tell Margo about the future of "her" in the character, those trivial and ordinary daily bits that happened in the future time and space.
According to the script, the scene in the bar should end, and Margo should leave, but what did not follow the script is that when Margo left, he left behind a scarf.
Victor picked up the scarf and walked out of the tavern, calling her name softly from behind.
When it rains, love happens.
Originally, Viktor only intended to experience it for one night, but after meeting Margo, he decided to continue to overweight.
Sure enough, love makes people lose their senses, and love makes people return to the workplace.
Victor had no money, so he went to work at his son's game company to draw some game characters.
Work in 2019 during the day and return to 1974 at night.
Going back in time and going back in time, Victor chose to fall in love with "Marianne" again, and relived the dance in the rain of roses and the sinking in marijuana and alcohol.
Even Victor has regained the habit of hand-painting, recording the "aged youth" that shines back and forth.
It is not the original intention of the "Time Traveler" program to make people live in the past. Its significance is to help people find their lost courage, start anew, and face the difficulties in life.
In order to let Victor get away from the past, the beautiful light company specially provided a service, they let Margo play the mother of two children, and persuaded Victor to return to the real "Marianne".
"Rather than revel in your first encounter, discover how beautiful, sad and surprised she is now," Margot said.
Victor thought it made sense, so he packed his bags and went back, only to find that her wife was sleeping with his best friend.
Miraculously, Victor didn't get angry, and even helped them make breakfast, leaving behind his hand-painted drawings.
Looking at the old Victor's painting, Marianne felt jealous, it was a feeling she hadn't felt for a long time, and a little ripple in her heart, it was our love.
Now, it was Mariana who wanted to get back Victor. She followed Victor's routine, bought the "Time Traveler" plan, and invited Victor to be the male lead, and she herself acted as the female lead.
Before leaving, Marianne learned Margot and threw a scarf on the ground.
At this time, as the film draws to a close, Victor will pick up the scarf and chase after him. The two are reunited, and an old marriage crisis is resolved.
But Victor didn't do that, he sat motionless in his seat, watching the background of Marianne fade away.
The next scene brought tears to my eyes.
Victor looked into the distance sadly, and the beautiful and charming Margo was smiling at him, but it was just an illusion.
At this point, the whole film is over.
Throughout the whole film, whether it is the "Time Traveler" project or the various characters in the film, they are all working hard to get Victor and Mariana back together.
Saving an elderly marriage is what the movie is about, and it ends with a happy ending, which is what we expect and take for granted.
But no, the sudden reversal caught someone by surprise. The world that I had built in my heart was instantly broken down and disintegrated, and my emotions couldn’t collapse in an instant, and I cried.
I really cried, a big man, the kind of crying that couldn't be stopped.
Victor wanted to live in the past and find the lost beauty. He turned around and looked back, but the reality was the most overwhelming.
Love can't come again, if you don't love it, you don't love it anymore. You can miss the past, but please cherish the person in front of you.
If there's any solace in movies, it's that we're younger than Victor.
It's good to be young, poetry and wine take advantage of the Chinese New Year.
