"This city is a prosperous desert, only suitable for blooming coquettish neon, sad people wandering the streets, inquiring about the whereabouts of happiness." I listened to the song and walked in the night of the third ring road, just like a person, passing through the traffic crowd, like a passerby, unrestrained and calm, the Sanyuan Bridge in the night, charming and colorful, I like it very much. In this way, I quietly left, just as I came quietly, I waved my hand and took away a DVD - "Paradise Cinema".
It’s been a long time since I watched and tasted a movie. When I came to this impetuous city, I couldn’t calm down by doing anything. Fortunately, Tonatore told me stories. I liked what he told me. Stories, like the beautiful legends of Sicily, like the pianist at sea, like the melodious music in his films, the pictures that flow slowly, like listening to my grandfather telling stories when I was a child, there are not many ups and downs, there is no hero who saves the world, and there is no story. The wicked villain just told me about someone he had heard, some long-standing events, all the joys, sorrows and joys of ordinary people, but often revealed a well-rounded knowledge. Do you have a lot of shadows of that little boy in your life? That smart and cute kid, Xiao Duo Duo, who is obsessed with movies, can watch movies with the money that his mother bought him milk, and can cling to Alfredo to teach him to show movies, I like his big bright eyes, and I like his obsession Because of the appearance of the movie, I like the tacit understanding between him and the projectionist Alfredo of Old Paradise, the cunning of a child, and the wisdom of an old man, such a happy life.
In this way, the years passed with the transmission of the film, and the little ones became more and more big. They experienced the sweetness and pain of their first love, grew up in trouble and confusion, and began to think about life other than movies in the process of choice and thinking. Everyone may be experiencing this kind of life, those obsessed things, those young dreams, and those people who can't forget, the heart that once moved.
Happy, unhappy, can really go with the wind? It’s still like our protagonist, who left his hometown and traveled the world to seek his own dreams, thinking that he could forget about those people and things, thinking that he could become stronger, but the news of Alfredo’s death was like a hammer, It smashed those false strengths at once, and some things are intangible, even if you hide it deep, it will still be shot one day, and it will be out of control.
The world of movies is beautiful, but life is much harder than movies. This is what the old Alfredo who was blinded by the big work in the screening room said, not the lines of any movie, but the face of this old man. Frustrated with life. And the Paradise Cinema, where the movie finally collapsed with a loud bang, is implying what is it to erase all memories? Is it for us to leave and see the outside world? To bury those things that make us weak and make us not strong? Well done Sicilian man!
