COLD COLD WATER...
The singing of DAMIEN RICE is like the raindrops falling sporadically in the gray sky of November in England, drifting across the strangers under a black umbrella. Lawence, a tall and thin old civil servant, walks through the long corridor in silence every day in the same black suit, silently facing piles of numbers. The only sweetness in life is the 3 spoons of sugar in the coffee. GINA, a girl with big pale eyes and long hair, wearing a simple light brown thick wool sweater, her voice is gentle, there is a bit
of baby fat common to British girls , but cute, you can't stop after a encounter in a cafe Go to meet her-it was Lawence who did it. A chance encounter in a cafe made the girl very naturally tell him about her former boyfriend and the shop where everyone was dating. Such a cordial and undefended smile made Lawence, who was cautious and cautious, unable to refuse. Since then, the cold rain in the sky has fallen, and at least the people under the black umbrellas have special concerns with each other.
On the first date, in an Italian restaurant, incoherent and at a loss, LAWENCE was hit by his boss-the British Chancellor of the Exchequer and a group of people, and then this thin old man became the center of his colleagues' eight hexagrams. The black female colleague disagrees with the male colleague calling GINA PRETTY GIRL, she said PRETTY IS PRETTY WHILE YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL IS BEAUTIFUL FOREVER. Maybe some girls are the beauty that makes you secretly stunning in their hearts, and the water is still without waves, but they can't help but let you get close.
It’s always a dinner date, going out from the coconut restaurant, talking about each other’s dreams along the river in the dark night. GINA said that he saw Lawence drinking coffee in a cafe, but Lawence’s dream was that ROLLIN STONE wanted him to join the band, and he rejected the meeting every time. Before meeting someone, maybe I didn't realize that my life had been sealed in such a small space by myself. It turned out that I had been trying to escape, but it turned out to be freedom. As a result, Lawence eagerly called GINA as soon as he got home, "I'm going to attend the G8 meeting, do you want to go to Reykjavik with me?" In the
airport, colleagues and others teased each other, but Lawence's heart flew outside. The colleague couldn't wait to leave first, and he was left alone staring at the doorway, each door looked like an eye that had been waiting for too long. Finally, her gentle voice sounded, and this trip was no longer alone.
When I arrived at the hotel in Iceland, I found out that the two people had a room or a double bed. Lawence explained all the way awkwardly and asked to sleep on the sofa. But GINA insisted that he should sleep in bed if he had a meeting. The two people still sat in the coffee shop and lobby until closing, and LAWENCE's plan to eliminate poverty made GINA listen carefully.
Back to the room at night, the two of them were still embarrassed for a long time before they went to sleep. When I got up late at night, I saw the tattoo of a bird on the shoulder of the sleeping GINA. My heart was moved. There was always a special temperament hidden in the girl's quiet appearance.
Then came the exhausting meeting. Representatives of various countries were just evading the "Millennium Plan" put forward by the British representatives to eradicate poverty. GINA was watching the progress of the meeting outside the venue, and what they saw was a defeated LAWENCE every night. When GINA met the Minister of Finance, he bluntly asked him why this plan was pushed to the end of the agenda, which made LAWENCE stunned. It turns out that this girl who has always been quiet still has such excitement. As a result, such surprises repeatedly appeared. GINA asked her questions in front of the German and British ministers. As a result, LAWENCE was asked to tell her to drive away the saboteur. On the way back, GINA accidentally said that he had been in prison. Lawence, who has always been a good man, is finally a little angry. Have you planned all this? GINA fearfully denied that the Icelandic sky behind him is ice gray that freezes all romance.
LAWENCE took GINA to the dinner. GINA's fierce attack on the meeting finally led to her being expelled from Reykjavik. The aggrieved GINA met LAWENCE in the cabin he was rushed to. "I thought what I did could change something... I convinced myself that this is what you hoped for... I can't imagine our future, can you?" a After denying the doubt, there is too much hope in the girl's eyes. In the car to the airport, the two had nothing to say, only their hands clasped tightly.
The farewell at the airport has no words of love, but it is a word that I can't forget.
GOODBYE AND THANKS, YOU'VE BEEN TENDER AND TRUE, WHICH IS QUITE UNUSUAL.
……WHY WERE YOU IN PRISON?
I HURT A MAN WHO KILLED A CHILD.
……YOUR CHILD?
DOES IT MATTER WHOSE CHILD IT IS?
At the end of the G8 meeting, I wonder if it was also the end of this relationship. LAWENCE stayed in Iceland alone, but at the end, he excitedly called GINA and asked her to turn on the TV. Of course, at the end of the meeting, they all heard their promise to fight for it.
Like CLOSER, the singing of DAMIEN RICE finally sounded again. The affectionate and unbridled entanglement of male and female voices, like an unexpected encounter, is much warmer than in CLOSER. I like Britain’s romantic sketches because the quietness of every story tells you with humor or sentimentality in every little detail. Unlike a love in Hollywood, heaven and earth have to cooperate with big winds and waves. In fact, it is such a simple story, such an undecided ending, which always makes people smile
