An unforgettable movie. Coming out of the book bar, Jesse and Selena walked to the bar. After that, the two went to the park, and then took the boat to the car. Finally enter Selena's residence. Chat and sing in the residence. If you don't tell the story, just talk about the pictures, this is what the film is all about. The stories mentioned in the introduction are basically the plots of the two people chatting. The initial encounter and dating only flashed back a few scenes at the beginning, and they were basically not presented. And the process of walking and chatting is the process of the film. They have been chatting, past love, current marriage failure or boredom, everything is going on slowly. Worried that such a structure would make the audience bored, I would occasionally interject some sexuality in the conversation, or stir up their emotions. In short, the conversation is not dry, it is actually interesting and engaging, otherwise the director would not have taken such a big risk to make a film that is only about walking and chatting. If it is said that the conversation is only to attract the audience and add luscious content, it is naturally a failure and vulgar. The charm of the film comes from the theme revealed in the dialogue: the unforgettable love that affects today. This is the most important part, no matter who is deeply immersed in the past love, and looking forward to the reunion in the future, this kind of emotion is pervading and fluctuating, infecting the audience. It's like a dialogue novel, like Hemingway, the dialogue is always so wonderful and enticing. Of course, the temptation is that the audience has always expected a new story to happen later, because such a reunion is too attractive or too rare, and it seems unlikely that the story will not happen. This is the most general expectation, in line with the psychology of all audiences. But the wonderful thing about the film is that it reminds you or tempts you from time to time, such as topics, such as Jesse's reluctance in the back, Selina keeps mentioning the topic of sex, these seem to imply to the audience that there will be later An intense scene emerges. This expectation is a bit vulgar, but it must be the most human. It's amazing that the director didn't do that. The film fades out in Selena's graceful dance, and the last line is Selena saying: Baby, you will be late. Jesse's response: I know. Then, the screen slowly turned black, the music continued, and the subtitles appeared... This is a bit like a joke, a joke for the audience, the meaning of the joke is: Don't wait, no one knows what will happen next. Can it be said that the film does not have an ending, because it does not need an ending, or the director believes that the story itself cannot end. Thinking about how the whole film was shot, I'll stick to my point. From the beginning, the film has always been in long takes, which is almost the Come on, the long shot is the most used in a movie, almost to a state of intemperance. But when the film ends that way, you find that the long shot and the end of the film are so in harmony with the theme of the film, so unchangeable. The surprise of reunion and the new expectations for the future are the common psychological state of the hero and heroine. Therefore, to delay this kind of time does not require flashbacks or switching, because it will cause turmoil, uncertainty, and time. There is a sense of rapid flow, so the lingering time will proceed slowly, and all details must be presented and captured. This is something that every person who has been in love can experience. Only long takes can adequately delay this emotion. The director amplifies this emotion, the time is fully extended, and if it is extended, the space will appear indistinct, such as Selena's residence, such as the details of Jesse's flight, these seem to be meaningless. As long as they kept talking and kept recalling, they were all forgotten by the two of them. These sets of long shots are a unique feeling. Maybe only for a movie like this. It's apt or fully integrated into the mood, and if it's not taken care of from a technical point of view, maybe no one notices the passage of time here. When the picture turns black at the end, because of the previous structure and rhythm, I have reason to believe that Jesse and Selena in the back will have an unexpected story. Such expectations are in line with the expectations of the film's settings, so I feel that the film is very successful and cannot be successful any more. From this, it can also be inferred that a good movie, a good literary film, does not necessarily need a wonderful story, even if those stories are implied, it is just as attractive. The question is whether the film is emotionally real and engaging, which sometimes really requires the extraordinary skill of the director. . These sets of long shots are a unique feeling.
