Reunion 20 years later

After watching the Jurassic Park replayed in Imax3D late at night, I returned home and opened the refrigerator. I didn’t find anything to eat. At this moment, I, 28 years old, is a fat man who needs to lose weight to prevent others from saying that he is fat. An illiterate who is afraid that he can no longer write if he doesn't write, is an office worker who is too busy to watch movies.

I have never seen this movie in a movie theater. Twenty years ago, China had not imported blockbuster movies. My father worked as a reporter in the army’s video room. He got in touch with video earlier. When I was in elementary school, I had a video recorder at home. I recorded a tape called "Sophomore". One day my father moved back to a big cardboard box after school. He mysteriously gave it to my grandfather, saying that he got some "internal reference tablets" for him and opened my eyes. I secretly put it in the box. Look, the square box with the unified cover has a white label... "Devil's Terminator", "The Abyss", "Human and Ghosts
Are Unending", "Jurass..." "What are you doing! Children are not allowed to watch these! Do homework? Go!"
"Dad, what about Jurassic? Jurassic?"
"What Jurassic, learn to go!"

I like dinosaurs, of course, before entering junior high school.
One day, an old book "The Story of Dinosaurs" that I occasionally turned over to the bookshelf has been out of control since then. I remember that it was the first book I read without writing a word from beginning to end.
I was attracted by the huge and mighty animals in the pictures in the book, especially when the adults told me that those animals no longer existed, the nature of Aquarius exploded.

Since then, I have determined to answer every time my aunt asks me: "I will be an archaeologist and grow up to study dinosaurs!" I started to buy all the books, models, and peripherals about dinosaurs, What’s more terrible is that an American cartoon called "Dinver Dinosaurs" was broadcast on TV at the time, and a Japanese monster drama "Dinosaur Express" was also broadcast at the same time. Dinosaurs instantly became a pop culture. Although I only learned that Denver was not just the name of a dinosaur but a city when I grew up, I also learned that wearing a motorcycle helmet with a cannon on the earth is an extremely stupid behavior. But compared to my current self, my childhood focus, innocence and perseverance are indeed worthy of pride.

When I was in elementary school, the number of dinosaur models in the family was so large that all the friends who had been to the home were shocked countless times. Some of the friends even wanted to jointly organize a dinosaur model exhibition with me. We also designed a sand table, luminous. Starry sky and other exhibitions, but the awesomeness that has been blown disappeared with the arrival of the final exam. The elementary school holiday is beautiful, so good that you can secretly lie down on the door and watch grandpa enjoy the internal reference film, and it is so good that you can finish it early. Summer homework in exchange for watching a movie called "Jurassic Park".

Due to work reasons, my father always travels, and the relationship with me seems to be separated from me. Maybe he has the mentality to compensate me. That day he asked me if I could finish my homework ahead of time, and if I could, he would show me a movie. I was so excited. After finishing all the work, I was sitting on the sofa in a precarious manner. From the 21-inch color TV of my house, I saw this visual myth created by Spielberg for the first time. When the winding dragon walked through the screen, I was... …Really peeing!

Today I was sitting in the cinema and re-watching this movie. In the first 10 minutes, I wondered if I had actually watched this movie. But when the helicopter flew over the island and the main melody of the trombone sounded, the memory was like a blowout. The same burst out. It turns out that the passage of the previous explanation of clues should have been automatically passed because I did not understand it, but some classic sections are still fresh in my memory: the fat man of the betrayal organization was sprayed to death by the two spinosaurs, and the section where the Tyrannosaurus appeared was swift and violent. Long super-high hunting IQ, meandering dragon sneezing...All these plots have been re-watched with the eyes of practitioners, and they have a deeper understanding of the ingenuity of the design of these bridge sections. It turns out that no matter how long it takes, the audience can remember and have a deep impression and influence. These are the segments full of the ingenious ideas of the film creators. Some people remember these stories, and some people start to learn to shoot these stories.

Although the climax of the ending seems to be very sloppy now, capital and technology still have many restrictions on making such a film at the industrialization level at that time, but it does not hinder the satisfaction of walking out of the cinema as an audience. To a certain extent, I support the re-screening of old films. Some people think that this is money in disguise, but at least it gave me a chance to go into the cinema to watch a movie that I was eager for 20 years ago. In this process Reflect on how much you have lost in your growth and what you have learned.

Back then I fell in love with the movie enthusiastically because of "The Lion King". I saved my weekly pocket money and insisted on buying tickets to watch blockbuster movies. I wrote down my experience in a small book every time I watched a movie, and I tried hard to remember the awkward names of the movie stars. Years later, in the current Hollywood movies, you see more and more visual feasts brought about by technological development, and you rarely leave an impressive bridge. Design, performance, and watching movies have become a kind of fast food. At the same time , You have also changed. You no longer write film reviews, no longer think about the value of a film, no longer worry about complicated plots, no longer remember those classic lines and performances, perhaps, there are few classics worthy of commemorate.

Did the movie change, or did you change?
