wait for green light

It rained intermittently, and the grass in front of the window grew a head taller. In the fading night, there was a faint sound of birds, the
sky . It was still pitch black, reminiscent of a lonely journey in the mountains.

In those years that are gradually drifting away, those days when you are alone, there are always cold nights to accompany you.

In his ears, Eason Chan's young voice gradually heard a touch of sadness. Come to think of it, he deeply understood the deep meaning behind the lyrics.

If a lover was born alone in 1874, just a hundred years earlier, a century,
would he wait so tenaciously all his life, the rainy season would come to the red land.
Why was not born in 1874 in time, met you, guarded you, and died of old age together.
If you can't meet in a peaceful place, I will also travel with you on the battlefield.
Why was not born in 1874 in time, holding your arm, escaping the beacon fire all night, lost in the
same living and dying together.

In Rohmer's "Green Light", Delphine is an ordinary female employee who lives an ordinary life, but has a heart that has never given up.

Summer is here, and the female companions are talking about traveling, but Delphine, who just broke up with her fiancé, is alone.
Everyone eagerly advised her to find a new male partner as soon as possible, and Delphine was a little annoyed.
- "I'm fine, I'm a little lonely, but there must be someone in my life. Even, now I can't see him."

Friends said, Delphine, you either meet new friends or live in memory , and if you want to find a new one, it depends on whether you are willing to wait for Prince Charming, or find it yourself. "In the dark, you are waiting for your Prince Charming, you are lonely, so you look depressed", the girlfriends enlighten her according to the constellation book, "You are too stubborn".

Capricorn Delphine said, I am not stubborn, it is life that stubbornly forces me to be like this, someone told me that maybe green is my lucky color this year.

Wednesday, July 18 of this year.
Delphine accompanied his girlfriend Francis and her family to Cherbourg by the sea, a quiet and beautiful place, where everything was fine and her girlfriend's family was friendly.

However, Delphine still feels out of place and lonely.

She doesn't like eating meat, picking flowers and plants, or riding a boat on a swing. All kinds of details surprised everyone.

However, these are not reasons. Perhaps, only she herself can understand the deep loneliness.

On the side of the peaceful pasture, Delphine, who was alone, finally couldn't help but feel sad.

The deepest feelings are always unspoken.

The style of the film has always been soothing, there seems to be no deliberate rhythm, the camera shots are even less suggestive, and even when a group of people are arguing, they never stop or switch. Too often, the audience can't seem to see the director's clear inclination. Life has been restored to a direct state.

However, in this calm narrative, the actor's seemingly invisible performance led us into her heart gradually.
After all, she couldn't be alone during the lively holiday, which was her embarrassment.
So, Delphine chose to leave.

On July 23, she returned to Paris.
There are still long vacations and it would be an idiot to stay in Paris all the time. A week later, she came to another small town by the sea alone.
At the seaside, Delphine overheard several old people talking about Verne's novel "Green Light", a romantic love story that took place in Scotland.
Verne said that when you see green light, you can read how you and others feel. The heroine in the novel has never seen Green Light, but she eventually reads her own perception and meets her lover.
The old people were having a good time talking, and Delphine on the side heard it from the bottom of her heart.

During the next trip, Delphine met a cheerful Swedish girl. During the chat, Delphine unknowingly talked about her confusion again.
"I'm looking for the romance and the person in my heart, but I don't have any supernatural powers, and the people around me are all so vague. Maybe, I'm wrong. My friends all tell me to act, Be proactive. They all say that. But I haven't met anyone yet.
I'm very honest with people. If they don't call, it's because I'm useless. If they abandon me, it's because I'm wrong."

Delphine is right Guys are wary of girls. In her opinion, men will pursue themselves for a period of time, either for drinking or for sex. But not because of love.
Maybe, the longer you live alone, the less you can find someone you like.
This just made her sad to the point of madness.
- In fact, none of us are like that. Ugh.

In the end, Delphine decided to leave the town sadly.
In a twist of times, she met a man who fell in love at first sight while waiting for the bus, and followed him to a small fishing port like a ghost. She decided to accompany him to the beach to watch the sunset and wait for the miracle of green light.
If the green light was lucky enough to appear, Delphine thought, her own happiness might just come.

Finally, the last rays of the setting sun, the legendary green light emerges at the sea level.
Delphine burst into tears.

A very simple old movie, its time span is only one month, and the plot is surprisingly single.

However, it is the plight of everyone that attracts our hearts.
Even if the so-called fate seems to have been predetermined, we still cannot give up, miracles are often inadvertently.

Summer quotes

  • Delphine: [crying about her problems] I'm forgetting them. I didn't think of them. You talk of showing things... I don't know, I don't have anything. If I had something to show, people would see it, that's all!

  • Delphine: You talk of showing things... I don't know, I don't have anything. Things aren't obvious to me. I'm not normal, like you. When I make an effort I try to listen, to talk to people. I listen, I watch what's going on. If people don't come to me it's because I'm worthless and... if I had something to show, people would see it, that's all.
