When I was in junior high school, the programs I could watch at that time were only limited to the Central One. For a while, I was particularly obsessed with the famous and famous episodes broadcast on Saturday night. This program usually started after the evening news at 10 o’clock. Some It was even later, after 11 o'clock.
My father strictly controls the time I watch TV. Although it is weekend time, he doesn't allow me to watch TV beyond 12 o'clock. There are many movies that I really want to watch, but I didn't watch it or only watched half of it.
The first love movie I can remember was "The Purple Rose of Cairo", which was translated in Hong Kong as "Fake Love".
The story is about a small town in New Jersey during the Great Depression of the 1930s, when Cecilia, a timid and weak waitress, lost her job and was often beaten and scolded by her husband who also lost his job. Aggrieved at home, Cecilia always eats popcorn and hides in the town's dilapidated movie theater to kill time. She watched the adventure film "Purple Rose of Cairo" with the same name as the film. Cecilia liked this film very much, especially Tom, the protagonist of the film. When she saw it for the fifth time, Tom, the protagonist in the film, suddenly walked off the screen gracefully, walked towards Cecilia affectionately, said that he fell in love with her, and eloped with her, leaving behind the scenes in the film. The rest of the cast and the full audience were overwhelmed.
Tom's strike made the film in various cinemas unable to perform normally and plunged into chaos.
After Cecilia and Tom got out of the cinema, they wandered around the city during the day, and at night Cecilia came home to look after her husband, leaving Tom in the care of a prostitute. Tom is out of tune with the real world. The money on him is fake bills used as props. When he kisses Cecilia, it feels different from the kissing scene on the screen. As soon as his lips touched Cecilia's, he frowned and asked, "Why hasn't the camera faded out?" Cecilia ignored these things completely, she was completely intoxicated in love and dreams, living her life A dream of a fairytale life.
Hollywood sounded the alarm: "Tom fled the screen and is currently in New Jersey." At this time, studio owners and producers, worried about the unexpected turn of events, set off for New Jersey with actor Jill, who played Tom. Find Tom, intending to quell the rebellion and bring him back to the screen.
The appearance of Jill made Cecilia feel confused. Faced with two identical men, Jill and Tom, Cecilia also fell in love with Jill. In order to bring Tom back to the screen, Jill will do anything to deceive Cecilia's feelings, saying that she loves her the same, and promises to be with her. Cecilia finally chose Jill in the real world, and the innocent Tom left sadly, but he thought that at least Cecilia had found true love and would be happy forever.
In the end, Cecilia got nothing. After deceiving Tom back, Jill quietly left, and Cecilia returned to the original state of life. The husband kept asking about Cecilia's experience in the past few days, and at the same time, he became more jealous of Cecilia. Cecilia still had to go to the cinema to anesthetize herself. The theater no longer showed "The Purple Rose of Cairo", but replaced it with a musical. Cecilia smiled again amid the singing and dancing.
I really like the way the director Woody Allen narrates the story and expresses emotion. Although Woody's films are almost all comedy, he is a pessimist. While he's always guiding viewers to find moments of happiness in life's tragedies, Woody's work, by and large, remains a helpless reflection of the tragic real world.
This "Purple Rose of Cairo" filmed in 1985 has won many awards including the Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay that year. The film uses the same real and illusory method to make the audience fall into the beautiful dream of love. In fact, every audience who sits in the movie theater and watches the film is a Cecilia, sometimes it makes people feel that it will make Three mixed and blurred together - reality, film and film within film. When we thought we found true love in the film, when the helpless ending came, we found that it was just the end of one play, and when the film ended, we found that it was the end of another play.
The film tells us that when the real world and the illusory world are contrasted, the real world appears more miserable, and love appears pale and powerless. The hero portrayed in the film walks down from the screen. Although he is noble and kind, However, these qualities cannot adapt to the real life, and will inevitably not be able to continue to exist in reality, and what can continue to exist in this real world must be sinful and dirty.
Life is still so miserable, and a Hollywood movie is still charming. Woody makes Cecilia smile in the final moments of the film, not so much a satire on Hollywood's whitewashing of life, but rather a gesture of gratitude for the movie for all moviegoers. This is the best expression of the pessimism of Woody's work: life is so tragic and difficult to change, it is more devastation to let people realize the truth of life, or let them continue to stay in the dream of the movie to kill the short life. Bar.
This film is almost like other films. I didn’t finish it when I watched it for the first time because of my father’s scolding. It seems that Tom left Cecilia thinking he had found true love and left her. Thinking that I was only 11 or 2 years old at the time, I knew what love was. I don't know what to do, and it's like I can't stand it anymore when Tom gets off the screen.
Later, I was driven back to my house by my father, and I continued to cry on the bed, both because of the plot of the film, and because of the grievances I suffered from being scolded by my father.
...
But a movie is a movie after all, and the fantasy world and the real world created by the movie will always be two parallel lines. Watching love movies, growing up slowly, seems to experience the so-called love once depicted in the movie, pretending to be one of the characters, pretending that you have a certain mood and feeling in the love character, but you will never understand that What kind of true love is, the most profound experience is still the tragedy, cruelty, and helplessness of the world, and it is impossible to enter the play.
It's a fictional movie, but I see tears rolling in. If
the love is not so deep, will the ending not hurt people ?
