okay. I admit that I fell in love with this film because I fell in love with Edward Norton's eyes. Of course, love and desire are never the same thing. Therefore, if one day, you will give me a wooden butterfly lock, I will be careful to store it; maybe I will take it to watch three or four spots of green moss, and listen to one or two oriole.
Everyone knows that this world will always be unfair. Edward, who came from a family of carpenters, could not have any intersection with the noble Princess Sufi. However, the encounter with a traveling magician changed Edward's destiny. He became fascinated by magic and continued to study and practice hard. Even the people around him began to think that he had some special abilities. Afterwards, he met her. She rode a tall horse on a dim street with her mouth raised, and her smiling eyes were very clear. She was attracted by him and couldn't help but follow him to play card magic. Despite their different identities, they couldn't resist their private meetings again and again. Asked: "Are you promised to take me away?" He replied firmly: "I will one day." Amidst his affection, he made a wooden butterfly lock with his own hands. It's just a gift, it's his whole heart. They were about to elope, but were finally stopped mercilessly.
So she was forced to return to the castle and continue to live a noble and magnificent life; he traveled around the world and changed his name to perform magic in public. Nearly 15 years later, he appeared in Vienna. He has a beard, his hair is not messy, his clothes are clean and decent, and his eyes are determined and condensed. On the stage, he uses magic to express life and death, space and time, destiny and opportunity. When he used a seed to plant an orange tree in an instant, the audience was impressed. The ingenuity of destiny is that while closing a door, it will quietly open a window for you. His performance attracted the crown prince to watch. In that performance, the crown prince’s fiancee took the stage as a volunteer. She walked swiftly, the soft light shining on her blond hair, it was extremely warm. He recognized her immediately, his lips pursed and his brows raised involuntarily. At that moment, I believe his whole heart is soft. At the banquet after the performance, he said half-jokingly, "Maybe it will make you disappear." So Sophie, who was about to go out, turned her head back with surprise, while he focused on her, with a mysterious look of insight into everything.
She asked him to meet in the carriage, and said some polite remarks. After he got out of the car, she thoughtfully held the necklace she was wearing, which was still the wooden butterfly lock. In the middle of the night, she galloped on her horse, eagerly to his side. She questioned him, and his response was a long-lost kiss. He wanted her to leave the crown prince, and she was helpless. "Where does power come from? Ability is still destiny, or is it a gift from heaven." However, only with power can you do whatever you want.
The plot afterwards unfolded dreamily. She is determined to leave the crown prince, and she wants to be with her beloved man. The crown prince was furious and beat Sophie. The next day, her body was found in the river, and he rushed to surround her with grief. The first time Sophie's soul was summoned, she stretched out her hand, but gradually disappeared. He stretched out his hand in despair to stay, the look in his eyes was very sad, with reluctance and attachment. The sad emotions that are difficult to dispel are filled like twilight.
The final outcome may no longer be important. The important thing is that the movie tells a story, a story about waiting for love. We all know that life is not perfect. Some people can fall in love at first sight and grow old with their hands; and more people in love may not necessarily be able to be together in the end. But in any case, as Pushkin said, "Today I am in love, and today I am very happy." In fact, you don't need to deliberately miss a person, you will know it over time. You will always inadvertently think of scenes related to him, sometimes it is a certain piece of music, sometimes it is a piece of jewelry, and those moments are all happy scenes.
What the butterfly lock locks is not only a picture of him, but also her sincerity. "I saw remarkable things, but the only mystery I could never solve was why my heart couldn't let go of you."
