Is Giuseppe Tonadore a little old, he's only 60 years old.
The "Secret" and "Balaria" that have been filmed in the past ten years have lost the influence that "Paradise Cinema", "The Scout", "The Pianist at Sea" and "Malena" brought him. People's creativity is always limited. When the energy is released little by little and is almost exhausted, it is always necessary to find another way. Just like this "Correspondence" (also translated as "Love Astronomy" 2016), let the beauty Olga Kurylenko He staged a bizarre scene of shouting from the air with the old showman Jeremy Irons.
The beautiful girl Olga Kurylenko from Ukraine has been very popular in recent years. In 2015, she went to Bosnia and Herzegovina to star in "Perfect Day". In fact, she is a beautiful woman who can only see farsighted but not close-up, especially when she is sad and crying, her appearance is really bad, it can be said to be a bit ugly. There is a type of actor who only relies on hard work, or is good at both sadness and joy, such as Meryl Streep.
Obviously, Olga Kurylenko does not belong to this category, she is still good at the superficial cut of Hollywood commercials. Jeremy Irons, the old drama bone, reminds me of his rivalry with Juliette Bino in Louis Mahler's "Severely Wounded", which is really addicting, remember the first The second time I watched it was on the Pearl 930 in 1993. "The French Lieutenant's Woman" and "Lolita" are his masterpieces.
In "Correspondence", the director uses smart technology, mobile phones, notebooks, cameras, memory cards, astronomical high-power telescopes, etc., through Amy Ryan's palm, peels off the lost spider silk, and digs a deep and multi-dimensional world of humanity. But the whole is still superficial, unable to touch the heartstrings of the viewer. The mystery seems to be a mess, but it is only stagnant in the traditional expression and care, and has no new impact.
What the movie corresponds to is just a simple stacking of astrophysical concepts. Amy, a master of astronomy student and action actress, met astronomy professor Ferron Ed during a university lecture, and they fell in love with each other. But Ed is far away in Edinburgh, and the occasional meeting between the two has become a luxury. In most cases, you can only rely on computer and mobile phone video chat. Ed calls her a kamikaze, and Amy calls him a sorcerer. Amy was the same age as his daughter, and he had a young son, Nicholas.
The film begins with the scene of the two saying goodbye at 6 am in the hotel. Attachment is particularly reluctant for the elderly Eddie, and it can be said that he has a lot of worries. That kind of too lingering situation, it seems that I want to eat her down and take it with me. But at dawn, he always had to leave. With the long shot of the hotel corridor, from Ed dragging the suitcase out of the room, to passing her door again, leaving after a short stop, followed by the blowing kisses he looked up at and her smile downstairs.
It is often said that every goodbye may be the last. He said in the video, this time I will focus on explaining the theory of reincarnation and eternity, I will go to your university to give a speech, I hope we will meet soon,
Amy certainly looked forward to his return. But in the university lecture hall, the host suddenly announced that the famous astronomy professor Ferron Ed died on January 15, 2015 due to illness. When a minute's silence was announced, her limp body propped up and hurried away. I couldn't get through on the phone outside, but on the 18th I received his letter and CD.
He said affectionately in the recorded CD "January 18, 2009, remember, we met in my speech, and since then, a lost soul has finally found its body, it wants to merge again, and then we are in Together, but distance separates us, and it may continue like this in the future, Kamikaze, my love, my soul, thank you for everything you have given me, goodbye!"
She had also received a key from Bergventura before. When the two make videos, I can always hear his motivation. He said that the properties of the God particle, the evolution of the galactic spectrum, in celestial string theory, one charity will evolve into 11 charity, and similarly, an Emmy will also evolve for 11 Emmys. The so-called collective synchronization is gravitational tearing. Ed leaves, throwing letters, video CDs, ruby rings and panties that keep getting him. It can be described as meticulous, but there is no trace of him.
Amy flew to Edinburgh with love doubts, and Ed's attorney told her that a funeral was held for him on January 20, but there was no grave. She called his daughter, but had not yet had the courage to meet. She would rather he was alive, she believed he was watching her silently in a corner. Even her every move, he can see at a glance, like a visitor from heaven accompanying her.
But the truth is, finding a "living dead" isn't easy. As he said, "your old wizard won't let you go easily". But she still had to live, she acted in dangerous scenes, and she also modeled as a stand-in, almost suffocating to death, but no matter how tired she was, she couldn't be as tired as the distress, puzzlement and dazedness that this dead love brought her.
People who study astronomy can really "swoosh" to the sky, and don't even want tombs. For three months, she had fallen completely into the love trap that Ed had carefully designed before his death. In my opinion, this is inhuman, although in the name of love, although he gives her advice everywhere, hoping that she will come out of the shadow of her father's unfortunate death and forgive her mother, because he has gone to condolences to her mother. But none of this could replace the swelling and blockage he had caused Amy.
She came to the residence in the small town on Lake Ed. Boatman Otavio and everyone in the town knew her, and must have been here many times before. But now his house was empty, the fire still burning brightly in the fireplace. Before his death, Ed specially told Angela, a woman by the lake, to make a fire to clean up the house and take care of Amy. But Amy's search did not make much progress, and was still shrouded in a cloud of fog.
The boatman brought her a CD, and specifically hoped that she would listen to him patiently. When Ed talked about her father's death due to driving carelessly, her mother said angrily why it wasn't you who died. Since then, there has been a separation between mother and daughter. It is because of your guilt that you are addicted to The reason for the movie's violent scenes, Ed sincerely hopes that she will forgive her mother and visit her...
Speaking of this, Amy was inexplicably angry, which seemed to touch her bottom line. She casually threw the CD into the fireplace, and although she found it in time, it was beyond repair. The broken picture is like this chaotic search. What I don't understand is that these words could have been said quite frankly when he was with her during his lifetime. Why should he save money before he dies? Although he said it's the same here and there, it's just that I can't touch you anymore. But the fact is that, in terms of the nature of life, it cannot be touched, and of course it is a fundamental area.
The owner of the small town bar told her that he often heard Ed talk about astrocytoma, the Cancer Nebula, that it was very similar to cancer cells. He also told her that "if you think of your brain as one of the stars, sooner or later someone will live in your brain". Even if she met with Ed's daughter and reached some level of reconciliation, this kind of desperate search for the remains of life is doomed to come back in vain. The beauty that cannot be approached, only relying on a steady stream of preset letters and videos to link reality, is destined to be a superficial expression of nothingness away from the original.
Reed, a fellow stuntman, is the only friend Amy can talk to besides Ed. Reed, who is proficient in computers, can't help her restore the disc that she damaged, saying that everything can be cracked by finding the camera. She even found Sobieski, the doctor who treats Ed's patients, who said he had entrusted everything to his lawyer.
But lawyer Durrell told her that he had not been instructed to decode it for her because of her broken agreement. It's so fantastical. At this point in the movie, viewers like me will be bored. The director must have felt it. Ed continued to say in the recorded video, I feel very good, thank you for your support, don't bother you with my sermons, I give up the role your mentor.
Accordingly, Amy's doctoral dissertation defense "From Guest Stars to Supernovae and Death Stars" was successfully passed, and she was awarded the "Bachelor of Astrophysics and Cosmology" degree. Double happiness came, and at the same time, she received Ed's last arrangement before her death, and sent her the residence property of Porogo Vento as a gift, and the signature took effect. She couldn't refuse, because he was like a star in the deep sky, although it was separated by yin and yang, it would always shine on top of her head. She calmed down, returned to her hometown, and visited her mother. Reconciliation between mother and daughter was Ed's wish during his lifetime. But his so tireless harassment was just an expression of his overly sculpted love for her.
The final picture is like this, Ed said to her affectionately: "We humans could have survived forever, but because of a mistake, human beings lost their immortality, what is the mistake? As far as I am concerned, I didn't know you sooner. , I couldn't stay with you longer, and I paid the eternal price for it, and the last three months became beautiful. Kamikaze, my love, my soul, thank you for everything you gave me, goodbye!"
At the end of the film, she, who is no longer in dangerous scenes, accidentally meets Rick. He says that your contact information has changed, and I can't contact you. Can we have a drink? On another day, I will contact you. you promise. ensure.
The cliché that I can't bear is finally over. Seeing this, I can't help but wonder, is it too cruel for Ed to treat Amy like this, to let a young beauty who is alive have to hang from a dead tree in some way, even in the name of love , is also an unreasonable thing.
It is often said that one leaf knows autumn. Thinking of Amy, when she walked to the balcony, a large dead leaf fell, and she showed a little surprised look in her eyes. Later, when taking a nap on the campus, a strange dog snuggled curiously beside her, unwilling to leave, watching Its mysterious eyes made her feel a complicated feeling of pity. Then, I learned the news of Ed's sudden death.
Just as the film deduces, Ed has indeed verified what he said. Ed has evolved into 11 Eddies, continuing his life in a mysterious and incomprehensible way, which corresponds to the 11 Amy's exploratory journeys. This seems to be of no benefit to Amy's real life. It can only be said that she has experienced the continuous love from the painful inquiry. Of course, this is not limited to the deep love of Amy for her, but it has jumped into a more Broad emotion.
This is different from a comic book we saw when we were young. A Soviet pilot, so that his mother could fight against the German army with peace of mind, she specially found someone to write dozens of letters for her before her death, and sent them regularly to her son, making him think that his mother was still alive. , I was so at ease to fight the war, but after the war ended, the hero's son returned to his hometown with longing, only to learn that his mother had died a year ago. The pain in my heart is indescribable. Touch my story.
As far as "Correspondence" is concerned, a lot of old Eddie is obviously unnecessary, and there is no reason to "kidnap" young Amy like this. If it is just to explain a few things and express love, a video can solve it, and there is no need to be so complicated and toss a beauty back and forth. If he really loved her, after he learned that he was seriously ill, he should have let go early, not in this way, tying her down for no reason for a few months after he passed away.
Of course, this cannot simply be said that Ade is selfish in love, at least from the perspective of love and humanity, the film does not have a convincing reason, it is just an expression of the film, which may be exactly what the director himself wanted. intentional effect.
