Duoduo
"If I can, I still want to call you - Duoduo."
The man driving Benz arrived at his place late at night, and the woman with a lazy and low voice told him: Efedo is going to be buried. The silence between the light and the fire suddenly broke the silent wind chimes, and the man's dim eyes were reluctant to close in the roar of thunder and lightning. Memories came in a flood, like a sudden snow, covering the branches of my heart.
At that time, he was still very young, so young that he didn't know where his father went and when he would come back, and he was so young that he didn't know what his mother's tears really meant. However, his little heart, his mother does not understand. Mom didn't understand why he took the money to buy milk to go to the movies secretly, Mom didn't understand why he was obsessed with those dark checkpoints and burned the film of the house. After his mother gave him an ultimatum to never allow him to go to the cinema again, he didn't act obediently. He couldn't forget the lion's head that projected a powerful beam of light, and he couldn't forget the black film "stored" with the old man Efedo. In such a lonely childhood, it was Elfedo who held his hand, it was Elfedo who helped him escape from his mother's beating, it was Elfedo who cut out small pieces of black film for him, and it was Elfedo who He put the mysterious and huge movie projector in his palm, so he drew a trajectory like this all his life. This "old man", Ai Feiduo, who started showing movies to the whole village at the age of 10 and taking the qualifying exam with the children, finally drew a starting point for Duoduo's life.
A fire caused Efedo to lose his eyes and the town to lose a cinema, but Duoduo became a professional projectionist. The reconstructed movie theater, the spacious and bright projection room, is small, and he operates his machines in a prudent manner. He looked out from that small window, and the only lit curtain in the dark cinema was playing the joys and sorrows of others. At this time, he didn't know that the movie would run through his life and his love.
As a teenager, he fell in love with Elena, the banker's daughter. He looked at Elena's various silhouettes in the small projector - the way she spoke, the way she smiled, the way she lowered her head, and he knew his love in his chest. He loved her so lonely, as if looking at the horizon. An unreachable star. However, the slightest fluctuation in emotions did not escape the eyes of Efedo. He told him a story about a soldier: Once upon a time, there was a soldier who fell in love with a princess. But how could a lowly soldier be a princess? Later, when he finally had the opportunity to tell her that he could not live without her, the princess was deeply moved, and she told the soldiers: If you stay under my balcony for 100 consecutive days and nights, I will promise you. So the soldiers waited for 1 day, 2 days, 10 days... The princess could see him every night, it was windy and rainy, but he didn't leave... The boy's heart ignited the courage of love, and he wanted to tell the girl over and over again that she He was deeply moved by the beauty of her, but he stammered and trembled, but he couldn't say anything. Finally one day, he sat on the priest's seat and said to the blue-eyed girl outside the window through the black gauze: You are so beautiful. He was so humble and wanted to be a brave soldier. So he waited under Elena's window every night, turning over the calendars one by one, day by day crossed out, spring sun reincarnates and autumn rain, summer clothes are replaced by winter clothes, the grid window that shines through Just as persistently refused to open for him. Standing alone under the window, he was willing and silent in this waiting. On the New Year's Eve where everyone was celebrating, he finally pulled up his raincoat and turned to leave.
Like many loves in the world, the love complex at the beginning always ends in injury, and it is destined to be unforgettable for a lifetime. No love is painful, but losing love is more difficult and free and easy, and when there is a lot of love, it will suffer more cruel blows. Elena, who missed her appointment, shattered all his hopes for love. The crazy years he passed with Elena made him walk alone in love for the next thirty years. Even if the women around him were exchanged, they could not fill the deep gap. No one knew if he remembered the good old days he ran across the fields with Elena, or stumbled across Elena's dad in a mutilated car. The more stubborn the memory, the longer the loneliness.
Efedo
"real life is different from movies".
He didn't go to school and knew the power of knowledge, so when Xiao Duoduo sneaked into his screening room, he pretended to be angry and yelled at Xiao Duoduo, telling him not to come again. If it wasn't for Xiao Duoduo helping him cheat on the qualifying exam, maybe their fates wouldn't have had so many intersections.
When the machine caught fire, everyone ran out of the theater, but he kept putting out the fire. That kind of instinct was saving the cause he loved all his life. In this fire, he lost his eyes and lost his job, but got another continuation of his life. Xiao Duoduo carried all the rest of his life. He stayed in the screening room with Duoduo, and spent a slow time until there was another person in Duoduo's life. Although Duoduo didn't say anything, the old man saw the traces of the years, and his heart was as clear as a mirror. Know everything. It was he who initiated Duoduo's determination to chase and wait for love. He helped Duoduo to entangle the priest and keep the bits and pieces of Duoduo's love in his heart. But love hinders the young man's progress. He understands that if he wants to achieve success, he must leave this closed town, so he will ruthlessly block the boundaries between love and his hometown. Before Duo Duo set foot on the train, the scene of farewell was that he tightly grasped Duo Duo's hand and warned Duo Duo in a stern and unforgiving tone not to look back, not to be homesick, and not to go home. If there is no achievement, even if he comes back, he is not allowed to see him. After a few words, Duoduo was pushed out of Ai Fei's own life. With Duo Du's departure, Ai Fei's remaining half of his life was empty. He stayed at home alone, rarely went out, and kept nagging a lot before he died. After such a lonely life, after thirty years, Duoduo's mother said that he could let Duoduo come back in the name of Alfeduo, but Alfeduo refused. Perhaps, he knew, that 30 years ago, he pushed out a lot, and at the same time pushed himself into boundless loneliness. Such a broad and deep love, after a lot of ups and downs, should finally be understood.

The beginning of the film is beautiful music, accompanied by the cool sound of the waves and the plate of lemons placed in the center, there is a slight chill. Duoduo's mother persistently called to find him. This strong woman once mended the children's clothes in the dim room, waiting alone for her husband who fought in the war to return. She couldn't say anything to the two ignorant young children, she could only swallow the lonely waiting and the pain in her stomach. Naughty Duoduo said, Dad will never come back, Dad is dead. She just said indifferently that he would come back. However, what was waiting in exchange was just a piece of eulogy. Facing the burned photo, she couldn't help crying. She pulled Duoduo through the ruins, and tears flowed out of her eyes like the unspeakable sadness in her heart.
In the years that Duoduo left, she changed from a young woman to a rickety old man. The white hair and wrinkles were written with a life-long wait. The tangled wool fell out of her hand. She said: It must be Duoduo, the camera Looking down from the window on the second floor, her son who turned from a teenager to a white head appeared at the door. She was as calm as welcoming her son who came home from get off work every day. She has been cleaning many rooms for ten years, and everything is the same as when he left, including the film and projector that recorded Elena. Loneliness has become the label of this woman's life, but she lives in it, peacefully and firmly.
Remember that madman in the square? He stood alone in the square and announced to everyone that it was his square and that no one could touch it. Decades have passed, and he is the only one standing on the square with crazy obsession and fanaticism. In such a long time, everyone has grown old, only he is still black-haired and strong, running in the crowd, running on his square, shouting loudly: "The square is mine!" Such loneliness And the fanatical persistence may be that Tonadore is silently explaining to the audience the 30 years of entrepreneurship that Duoduo has been out of everyone's sight-holding himself firmly with his perseverance and almost crazy enthusiasm. beloved movie.
The last time Duoduo walked into the cinema, it was already deserted. The lonely cinema witnessed a generation of Italians who were deficient in their hearts, and witnessed the changing stars of the times. Finally, grow old silently.
At the end of the film, Duoduo is in his spacious movie room, looking at the dying relics that Efedo gave him. At the moment when the picture flashed, he held his chin and laughed, and with a smile, tears welled up. Those lonely silent movies, segment by segment, were all scraps cut by Efedo according to the church regulations, and they were also the love things that Xiao Duoduo once deposited with him. After so many years, things have returned to their original owners, and love is still there, but these two people can only stand alone at both ends of the Yin-Yang River, staring at each other through the broken kissing lens.
