has been followed up. This overnight popular anchor took all the staff of the same company after the surge of hundreds of thousands of followers, and then was ordered by the company to shut down Weibo and fell out with the sponsor, and was suspected of hyping it up. Yet the masses have gotten what they wanted: a big spree in the name of a diss-superior predecessor.
There was Xiao Gna in the front, Li Yutong in the back, and Euler again. It seems that tearing up her predecessor has become a tried-and-true G-spot for netizens.
But this one was torn apart, and the other went to Weibo again to shout that he was going to attend his ex's wedding. Exo? Does the bride herself know? Did the groom agree?
...let's talk about movies.
This is a very low-cost independent film. It was basically shot in two rooms in a hotel. Except for the hero and heroine, the background is basically blurred, and there is Olivia Wilde who came to play soy sauce.
The heroine Helena Bonham Carter is familiar to everyone, the queen of Tim Burton.
The most popular role of the male protagonist Aaron Eckhart is the double-faced Harvey Dent in "Batman 2: The Dark Knight", and then he often acts as a green leaf for a string of big-name actresses, including Julia Roberts, Gurney Wins Paltrow, Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Hilary Swank, Jennifer Aniston...
like Four Weddings and a Funeral, The Wedding "Acker", "19 Singles", "The person I'm in love with is a strange flower"... In the same way, weddings are always a high-incidence time for encountering true love/wrong love.
At the beginning of the movie, the man has been looking around. The woman, on the other hand, stared intently at the cigarette that had been left out on the table, slipped quietly on tiptoe without anyone noticing, and ran away.
The man chased after him.
This is how the story begins.
There are a few interesting points about this movie:
1) This is a "dialogue movie", similar to the "Love Is" trilogy, "Midnight Encounter", and "Footprints". The characters and scenes are extremely limited, and the whole process is based on talking and talking. Like its title: Conversations with Other Women - Conversations with the "people" of women. But in fact there is only "one" woman, the heroine. And from the content of the movie, she is not "Other" women, but "The" one.
2) We know that the male lead's new love is called Sarah, and the female lead's new love is called Jeffrey. But the names of the male and female protagonists never appeared from beginning to end. In other words, they can be any pair of ordinary men and women.
The dialogue in the first ten minutes was quite entertaining, very organic, and the truth was hidden under the iceberg.
Man: Since you all smoke, why don't you drink?
(We will know later that this is one of the male protagonist's pick-up words when he was young)
Female: I also know that this is not good, but I smoked it all.
(The female lead knew she would bump into the male lead at the wedding, but she came anyway)
Female: I am the candidate for the seventh bridesmaid, so I plan to give the bride a chance to make up for her mistakes.
(And give you a chance)
Female: I'm not a good bridesmaid, look, looking for a substitute will end like this.
(Although your girlfriend didn't come, but I'm already married, you can decide what will happen to my one-night stand)
In the first 15 or 16 minutes, the two of them have been testing vaguely, while inserting a lot of fragments that seem to be memories. The camera makes people continue to speculate and overthrow the relationship between the two. Do they know each other? do not know? Everything seems familiar, specious.
It was not until the appearance of a wedding videographer that he boldly revealed the past of the two: this was the wedding of the male protagonist's sister, and the female protagonist embarrassedly came as a bridesmaid as a "former sister-in-law". At this time, the mind of the heroine was clearly revealed.
The male protagonist also exposes her sharply: if you don't agree to me now, ten years from now, you will think about it, your husband will ask you what's wrong, and you can't answer, and the marriage is slowly breaking down like this.
Then? Then it's all in one sentence: they dance, they go to bed, they leave, it's over.
what? Then why spend more than an hour watching this movie with broken thoughts?
Because there are thousands of twists and turns about your ex in detail in it -
after you leave, the whole world will be your shadow.
The scars on your body later are more sad than when you walk away directly from me.
Being in a relationship is like letting the other person skin you, knowing that he could take your skin and leave at any time. ——Susan Sontag
Not all reunions after a long absence are old friendships, sometimes you are just a blind spice for someone else's happy life.
The light is so bright, I am afraid that you will be bleak; ordinary blessings, I am afraid that you will not be satisfied with it. After leaving, the worry did not stop.
Young, stupid, careless, is the universal template for ruining feelings. But again, we all know it's the same result.
You habitually belittle the past to make yourself feel better, but I can't help but save a little for you.
Time has not changed everything, and some people seem to sleep soundly in the cracks of time all their lives.
- So, it's nice to meet you.
But I feel lonelier than ever.
In the dialogue between men and women, they recalled the many years from when they met when they were in their teens to when they were almost forty. Many flashbacks were scattered in every corner like Easter eggs, sometimes giving you a sense of time and space confusion.
Sometimes, the left and right frames are used to separate reality and memory, creating a weird atmosphere, as if a man is having sex with her in the girlhood.
But this is not a big cheating drama, it is more like a midnight dream in just a few hours. Women are in a state of rationality, calmness, and confidence from beginning to end. Men are like little boys. Saying he's fat can make him unhappy for a long time - even if the reason for their separation is not stated, the audience can guess in their hearts.
After midnight in the fairy tale, Cinderella will return to the real world. In the movie, before four in the morning, the woman has to pack all her luggage and rush to the airport, back to the happy mix of her father's kindness and filial piety.
Before parting, the two of them were wearing thin clothes on the deserted rooftop, chanting some silly things. At that time, they were really like an old couple who had been married for forty years.
But these are just "ifs".
By the way, the male protagonist has designed a lot of interesting action scenes for himself, such as when a woman is talking, he will smell her hair while she is not paying attention. Then she picked up the earrings she had put away when she was packing her luggage and put them in her pocket.
In the end, the woman got into the taxi to the airport and asked the man to help her throw away the pack of cigarettes because her husband didn't know she smoked.
The man still naturally put it in his pocket.
The two got into two taxis. One went back to London to see a cardiologist 7 years her senior and 3 lovely children. One went home to meet his girlfriend, a dancer who was 16 years younger than him.
The two talked non-stop with their respective drivers.
The dialogue is still as sharp as the first 15 minutes of the movie. It seems to be about traffic, but it is actually about feelings and other emotions that are involved. There was also an expression of regret, reluctance and disappointment on his face. (Look carefully that the left and right frames are separated)
As we talked, the frames slowly merged together. It feels like the two are in the same car and going to the same place. It was as if they were a long-married couple coming back from a boring wedding and going back to their shared home together. And the tired, heavy, and bored look on their faces is exactly what they would be in today if they hadn't separated.
So, the last line of the whole film is really good.
Happiness is so fucking hard.
