Pure: Movies and Love

Going back 70 years in time - "Somewhere in Time", I once saw a netizen write a poem on Douwang - Somewhere in Time - I think it is more appropriate and meaningful. The film is starring the beautiful Jane Seymour and the famous "Superman" Christopher Reeve. The script is adapted from the novel "Bid Time Return" by American writer Richard Matheson. The story tells the story of playwright Richard (hereinafter referred to as Richard) falling in love with a dead The story of actress Elise and thus traveling back in time to find true love is about 110 minutes long.
My first thought after watching this film was: pure. In this era of speed, the word "pure" and the things that can be described as "pure" are slowly decreasing. We let all kinds of desires smeared with oily face, lips painted with red, face with cream, eyebrows like charcoal, and even the slender fingers that go ahead with everything are also carved with colors. After washing all the lead, the plain face is facing the sky, and the blue hairpin and black clothes are no longer pure, not to mention a heart.
However, it was night, and he met such a woman. The face of an angel is like a holy radiance, his long hair is fluffy, and he is wearing a gauze skirt standing under the shade of a tree by the river. His eyes are hopeful but confused and uncertain, and he quietly asks: Is it you?
From 1980 to the present, a full twenty-six years have passed. If you look at "Seventy Years Back in Time" from the current perspective, it will seem a bit monotonous. As far as Richard's method of entering the time tunnel is concerned - changing the layout of the house to the past style and then adding spiritual ideas to travel through time - in today's various strange time and space travel methods on the screen, this method is unavoidable. Feeling immature and unimaginative. As far as the plot is concerned, under the dazzling tricks of Hollywood's insidious tricks, such as betrayal, betrayal, and selfishness, this love poem from beginning to end seems to be a bit white.
Because of this, when I saw Richard sitting in front of the window and dying because of the double torture of regret and longing, he touched the cool tear from the corner of his eye, and then I realized that it was in Hollywood. Soaked in it, we have been away from this kind of movie and love that can be described as "pure" for too long. It is also at this time that I can't help but think of other pure things, remembering that when I was young, I once simply loved someone, paid for her without any return, and was not greedy for the body!
In the tens of thousands of people you meet the person you meet, in the tens of thousands of years, in the boundless wilderness of time, there is no one step earlier, no one step later, just happened to meet, then there is nothing else to say, Only softly asked: Oh, you are here too! Eileen Chang wrote this.
This gentle greeting was originally the sparks flying around, the love on the tip of Cupid's arrow, and the petals falling outside the Taoyuan. However, he was just a step too late, and he only had time to take the gold watch from her, who was full of rich hair, on the day of graduation, and heard her say: Come back to me! So, no more, no less, seventy years, just a passing distance, which is heartbreaking!
