look again

Think of this film for no reason, "Closer" ("Stolen Heart"). I remember seeing it, I remember it was played by Natalie Portman and Julia Roberts, I remember it was a four-cornered romance, but I don't remember the plot.


When I went home after class, I turned it over and looked at it. The disc was still there. The heads of the four protagonists, with four delicate faces far and near, with warm expressions, were crowded on the circular disk. I like this poster, and even when I first saw it that year, I had an inexplicable favor.


Click on the playing screen, and the theme song will sound. Natalie Portman with short fiery red hair strode in the crowd and walked head-to-head with Jude Law in the music, looking at each other and smiling, shy and affectionate, that was the warmth of love at first sight. Woke up ten seconds after being hit by a car, lay on the ground, turned back and smiled sweetly: "Hello, stranger". In an instant, the soul was captured, and the sky fell apart.


So what? Emotions are realistic to cruel. Love and sex, jealousy and revenge, deceit and suspicion, passion and hesitation, trust and strangeness. Trust is so difficult, there are so many bumps, and it turns out that even the other party's name is fake. All in all, only Natalie Portman's last line, "I don't love you any more. Goodbye. Here's the truth. So now you can hate me." What a joy! After everything is over, you can change your hairstyle and clothes again, walk in the crowd again, stride, and find another love at first sight.


Two years ago, was it two years ago? About. The first time I saw it, I was not impressed except for the poster. Things are right and wrong, and now, the expressions of the four people in their feelings, like sculptures, flashed in their minds.
Love Natalie Portman, always love her. From the slender girl holding a plant to the horizon, to the stubborn tearful face in the black and white close-up photo here.
Like the theme song "The Blowers Daughter", the sadness of crying without tears.


And so it is, and so it is.
When can life be so simple and so happy?
