There are a lot of people on the Rush Line, and a few are older than me! The movie is 6:30, you can imagine how hard it was. But everyone was very excited, chatting, drinking coffee, encouraging each other, it was fun. For us, today was like an adventure. I know I might not be able to see it, but I still want to come. When I wanted to express this, I couldn't find a suitable word. Always describing my expectations and feelings, a foreigner said just like your advanture. Yes!!! That's exactly what I want to say!!! During the whole waiting process, our group of people were both friends and competitors. What an interesting relationship. Human relationships are never one-dimensional. Ang Lee wants to tell us this too.
After 3 o'clock, the theater manager came out and said that there may not be any extra seats for the rush line today...because the tickets are too tight. . . Drink it up! However, no one left. Now that the adventure has begun, move on!
After 4 o'clock, a foreigner scalper came to sell flying tickets, and the 125 film+gala was bid by a rich Sichuan lady to 250 dollars! Go to hell! We can't help this trend! If 100film only, I might want it. I just want to watch a movie. In the middle of the night, I even went to a drinking party to eat a buffet?! Then I ran back to San Jose?! Faint!
After 5 o'clock, ticket holders began to queue up one after another to enter the venue. There is no seat number on the movie theater ticket in the United States. First come first, choose your own seat. I even wrote a post to hold it in my hand: Ticket for Lust Caution, please! How impulsive, how cute, hehe. The original desire can make you do unexpected things. Most of the audience are foreigners, some are loyal members of the film festival, and most of them are fans of Ang Lee. It took a lot of effort to get tickets. No one is selling! Really going crazy!
6 o'clock, God opened his eyes. An old beauty came to the rush line and said that one of her friends was not coming, and she needed an extra ticket. . . Before she finished speaking, I had already rushed over! Give me, give me! I didn't think about the image at all, and I didn't think about the price, the only thought was that I wanted this ticket! Although I told "friends&competitors" before that even I can't get the ticket finally, I will not feel regret, because I've tried my best and enjoyed the unordinary experiences". I do think so, but, being able to see the movie Still will make my advanture even better! This lady is really my angel! She sold me the ticket and it was the full price! $25! God must have been moved by me and sent her to save me!
6:20 , I walked into the theater under the envious and anxious eyes of my rush line comrades. There were really many people! Since I was alone, it was easier to find a seat. I was lucky to find a good seat in the middle. Corridor, I am also happy, huh, huh.
At 6:40, the chairman of the film festival took the stage to give a speech, thanking everyone for their support to the film festival, and at the same time mentioning the origin of the director of the film that opened today and the history of the art film festival with a long history. Afterwards, there was a small commotion in the audience, looking for sound, Li An and Tang Wei were in the corridor on the left side of the stage! What a surprise! I thought they could only be seen at the cocktail party after the show! I am so excited! ! ! The audience applauded enthusiastically. It seems that Ang Lee has a lot of fans. Ang Lee came to the stage to briefly talk about his feelings about making this movie, which is really very elegant. After that, Tang Wei was introduced to the stage. I didn't expect her English to be so good and her voice to be very nice. She mentioned that Wang Jiazhi changed in the film, and she changed herself outside the film. Very tasteful woman. I like.
At 7:00, the movie starts.
About the movie itself, the information on the Internet has been overwhelming. I can't be exempt, I've seen a lot. So the plot and even the details of the film are not unfamiliar to me. However, you will still have your own feelings. There are many unforgettable scenes and plots in the film, which I believe will make me reminisce for a while.
Some are because of emotional resonance. For example, at the end of the play, everyone shouted "China can't die! China can't die!", almost crying. Even if you haven't experienced the years of occupation, you can still feel the pain and emotion of this roar.
Some are due to the excitement of youth, such as the "graduation song" sung in the rain. Student times are really the best time. The passion and ambition of youth may have drifted away, but as long as it is touched, it will surge.
Some of it is because of those unspeakable mysteries and ingenuity, such as several wonderful mahjong games, women's scheming and mahjong's doorway make people smile.
Some of them were extremely bloody. For example, several students killed Lao Cao with knives. Those who killed were more afraid than those who were killed, and those who watched were also afraid.
Some of it is because of sex that's so straightforward that it takes your breath away, like the graphic positions and the wrestling between conquering and being conquered. The despair and vent of not knowing if tomorrow is still alive today, the scrutiny of doubting everything, the fear of the dark. Wang Jiazhi smiled casually, and Mr. Yi groaned involuntarily. Sex is a magical thing.
Some of them are because of the secret surging of true feelings, such as the lonely Wang Jiazhi and Yi Mocheng sung by Tianya singer, they are both very lonely people, lacking love and longing for love. They all know each other, so they can comfort, so-called love, maybe that's it.
Some are because of complex and real human nature intertwined with love and hate. For example, Wang Jiazhi said, "I hate you." Mr. Yi said, "I believe. I haven't believed in anyone for a long time. Say it again, I believe." It also gave him a rare sense of trust. He originally wanted to trust others. Sad loner.
Some of it is because the film makes us face our fears, Mr. Yi's fears, Wang Jiazhi's fears, the Japanese's fears, the students' fears. The most frightening thing is when you suddenly find your inner desires and love-hate awakenings. Desires and awakenings are often more frightening than fears. Every one of us is. Think about it and you'll scare yourself, don't you?
After nearly 3 hours, I am exhausted. The whole theater was silent during the whole process. This is a serious and complicated movie. Although it is a bit depressing, it is also moving and shocking. She took you to that chaotic Shanghai, to that "booby" "drama". Just like Wang Jiazhi said: "The drama is fake and true." I watched this drama and moved my emotions. The song ended, and I was exhausted.
At the end of the film, the audience applauded enthusiastically and refused to leave for a long time. I think Americans may not be able to understand all the details and mysteries with the subtitles, but they must have felt the heaviness and poignancy of the story. In addition, the Chinese dialogue is very exciting, and the English subtitles are also authentic and expressive, which is definitely not a blunt translation. The foreigner next door asked me, does the movie express the feeling of the novel you like? I said yes. Love, hate and cruel.
On the expressway in the middle of the night, driving a fast train with a speed of 75 miles per hour, my heart is slow. I'm still in that play. The play is real.
