————————————The above is all nonsense ————————————
Closer to home, what I'm going to write is "Midnight in Barcelona", a film I just finished watching yesterday. A film that shined at past Golden Globes. Because some scenes and some dialogues were still flashing in my mind for a whole day and night, I knew that I had encountered a rare good film again. By the way, let me state first, the criteria for a good film I am talking about: 1. The film can shock my heart, which is called resonance; 2. The actors perform well, and the eye-catching is the best. The color tone is normal and does not change; Fourth, the music is pleasant to the ear, it is best to make people want to play the original sound after closing the movie. That's about it, it's not really demanding, right?
The original title of "Midnight Barcelona" was "Vicky Cristina Barcelona". The title clearly explained the protagonist and the place where the story took place, but the Chinese translation was very vague. At first glance, it would be considered a landscape film. The director of the movie is famous - the genius Wood Allen. In addition to Scarlett Johansson, who has worked with Wood three times, the heroine of the movie also includes Rebecca Hall, Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz and fans. Dead Man's Javier Bardem. The story naturally takes place in Barcelona, where the scenery is captivating. It is entangled in the love between three women and a man. The tone is ambiguous and warm, blowing the evening wind when the summer sunset is slanting, with irresistible beauty and harmony. warmth. Well, this is the basic situation. I don't want to get tired of the plot. It can only be added that "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" is not like a pure movie. It is a book, like Kundera's book. After it is spread out, it is an inescapable hardship and thinking, and then go happily. To see the power of wisdom, the dawn of life.
But everyone watching a movie will have a self-understanding, which has a great relationship with the world hidden in the self. The part of us that resonates with the director is only the part where our world overlaps with his. Therefore, the spirit and connotation radiated by a thing, benevolent see benevolence. Because I think, maybe someone will be surprised by the love concept after watching this film. It is too tangled and even chaotic, like Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Life", once the story involves multiple relationships, it has to push people to think and sort out the emotions in it, and only then can the layers of appearance be removed and look directly into the heart , ask a why?
But many times, things are for no reason. It comes, it happens, and then people go and react with the change. This is an instinctive response, especially in the face of love. I sometimes wonder if there has always been a hidden element of "pleasure" in people's instincts. Is it possible to face life and inner desires in the purest form only by stimulating the factor of pleasure?
Because Vicki, played by Rebecca Hall, a morally conscious woman with a traditional natural seriousness, in the small town of Oviedo, away from the circle of acquaintances (I think the implication is to stay away from the atmosphere of fixed moral judgments), will also Because of the pleasant vacation, to obey the bud of love for a charming gentleman and handsome guy that you may have never realized in your heart. In fact, this is how normal human nature is. But Vicki is a girl with a strong sense of morality and duty. She can't get rid of the guilt that comes with her fiancé. In addition to constantly reminding herself how perfect a husband Doug is, she tries to find the emotional source. Generate root causes and recognize ways to control emotions. But in things like love, the balance between rationality and sensibility is often out of balance. She has never encountered such confusion before. This is already a big thing in her life. The first time she faces it, it always makes people feel Unprepared and nervous. There is no case where there is no proper way to deal with it. She can only obey her own heart, because she also sees her own feelings in Judy's personal story - she loves Doug, but it is not love. Love should be crazy, it should be easy for people to lose themselves, and it should be ardently missed. Before she met Juan, she must have thought that she was in love with Doug. So she will recount her meeting with Juan with a complaining tone, how lovely: "But I met him before marriage." Love is like this, a gamble, bet he won't meet someone better than you , and bet you won't come across better than him. After watching the film, I have been thinking about Vicki's mood. Except for Penelope Cruz, I think Rebecca Hall's performance is the second best in the whole film, and her self-salvation is also very painful. Redemption is a redemption that needs to deny her previous outlook on life, values, and love. For example, we sometimes keep asking ourselves, "What's wrong with me? What's wrong?" Self-regulation to get out of such a powerful aura. So the ending used a strong symbolic hint to shake her heart, which is probably our "instant awakening" sometimes.
Scarlett Johansson's performance still maintains the enthusiasm, beauty, and moving in line with her appearance, but she feels that her character is still a little too hot, especially in comparison with Penelope Cruz's performance. Down. At least at that time, I put all my eyes on the latter, constantly complimenting the latter's fluctuating emotional performance, forgetting the former's appearance. In fact, for Juan, Christina played by Scarlett and Maria played by Penelope have many similarities, and because of this, Juan would fall in love with Christina so quickly, and deeply, She is an interesting person, her view on love is not as serious as that of Wiki, but when she loves, she will give her all to fall into it, she is full of artistic senses, she takes many, many beautiful photos, her ideas and her eyes are unique and fascinating fascinated. Sadly, a lot of the information about her personality comes from the narrator. Yes, in this film, the narration is also a pivotal feature, and it is precisely because of the addition of the narration that the film is full of the taste of reading, and it also enriches the personality of the characters in the story. But despite the flaws in the performance of the character Christina, it still does not affect the development of the story. It is filled with narration and supplemented by the plot. This character is the person who truly completes self-redemption in the whole film. I remember one of her lines with a deep impression, "I'm going to find something that I don't want." Christina's love triangle, (hehe, it was actually a four-cornered love, but she didn't know that Vicky also liked Hu at that time. Ann) has always been in the midst of self-contemplation, and she has had moments of enjoyment. She feels that such a state has made her full of confidence, but when reason overcomes sensibility, she sits on the beach and thinks deeply. The standard of her inner judgment is - what I don't want. When we don't have a clear answer to where we want to be, it's much easier to subtract than to add - so Christina makes the shocking and sad decision to leave both Juan and Maria. She left you because she loved you, or felt that this was not the life she really wanted to pursue and settle.
Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz! I really want to praise her beauty and acting skills, she was amazing from the moment she appeared. Even if she appeared lonely and embarrassed, she still couldn't resist her natural sensuality and sensibility. When Christina took pictures of her, her casual and natural eyes and actions all exuded the charm of soul capture, hey, there is no way that some people are born with a unique aura. Of course, in addition to her beauty, Maria, portrayed by Penelope, is emotional, extreme, fierce, yet fragile in her heart. She has an extreme sense of unease, is crazy sexy and has sensitive nerves, and her career is more in line with Her character - a painter with a creative inspiration of genius. Hehe, I was also fascinated when Christina watched Maria in a casual and sexy suspender dress, with her charming curly hair in one hand, and paint on the drawing board with the other hand, and the unrestrained abstract patterns fell, I was also fascinated. Mysterious and delicate woman, with stubborn and sensitive thoughts, how can you not fascinate people. So Maria is very confident to believe that Juan will always love her, even if she has killed him, she believes that he will not leave her. Maria's love redemption, wonderfully, revived her re-thinking that it was Christina's love for Juan that was in love with Juan. She even said: "Maybe it was you (Christina) that showed up that I found out that I love him so much." But she finally left Juan, and after Christina left, this confirmed the state she had realized before. Her relationship with Juan is sadistic, they abuse each other, and they also need a third party to abuse her heart. Women's jealousy? You can see the obvious jealousy and even provocation that Maria exudes after seeing Christina. This is her personality, which is casual to the point of being intolerable at times. Her love is the most fiery of the three women because at the end when Vicky shows up between her and Juan, she starts going back to crazy.
There are also two men, how should I put it, Juan is charming, a woman who will fall when she encounters such a polite, humorous, romantic, intelligent, gentle and considerate person, not to mention that he is also a passionate person. I sometimes feel that being sentimental is not a bad thing. A sentimental person must have many more sensitive cells than others, and must be able to see more aspects of life and worldly customs than others, and must be able to experience more nuanced experiences than others. . He loved three people, three kinds of people, and believed his feelings from the first sight. He believes that life is to live in the moment, to enjoy the experience given by life, without the so-called goal, the process is the same beautiful thing. He loves Vicki's gentleness and rationality, Christina's enthusiasm and cheerfulness, and Maria's fickle passion; all three of them are features that he finds he likes with all his heart. He is also a rebellious and free-spirited person, but he can't let go of the chaotic life of his ex-wife Maria and take him home to live with him. He has no purpose, and thinks how wonderful it is to live like this, with everyone living together. But the outcome is often the opposite.
Doug, I actually like this man very much. He is also a funny and lovely guy. He is loyal and peaceful, and his heart is pure like a big boy. My fondness for him came from the fact that he and Vicky listened to Christina about her relationship with Juan and Maria. Although he was shocked, he would calmly say "I don't want to be a judge" to show his attitude - in terms of love, he is neutral and can tolerate other people's love patterns, and then he has principles and beliefs he adheres to. A man like Doug is actually a rare ideal person, who can be so focused and sober like him. I don't know how many such people exist in the real society, there are definitely some. But most of the people may be those living beings who are struggling while growing up, otherwise so many people would not go to those emotional columns to dump their anguish. There are two types of men like Doug. One is a person who has never experienced anything in the world. I will still imagine what kind of psychological reaction he would have if he found out about Vicki's derailment. Already have hard self-world values, and no longer shake the mind for the world around you.
This is really a movie that can resonate with the viewer's view of love from many angles. No one can judge whose view of love is the best and most correct. There is no right or wrong in the world of love. This is a proverb that everyone knows. Whether it's Doug's wholeheartedness for Vicki, or Vicki's unwillingness for accidents, Christina's love can go forward or backward, Maria and Juan's love for each other but they don't agree with each other, or Judy and her husband being the same for ten years Maintain a simple life of superficial love. This is the Ukiyo-e of the love world. Everyone has their own life, and it is precisely because of this change that our world is so gorgeous. I don't want to think deeply about the meaning of the director directing this film. The theme seems very vain, and the details are the theme. Sometimes watching a movie requires a bit of the spirit of "blind man touching the elephant". read.
