There's a long way for you to be a new person

On the second day of the show, there were not many people watching the small movie. Most come to the cinema for the recently released "Assembly." I still like Wong Kar Wai so much.


Still the same handheld camera, frame composition, color contrast and monologue, long shots, too familiar, even unaccustomed. The plot in the fast food restaurant is too reminiscent of "Chongqing Forest", the film tone is similar, and the dialogue between men and women is similar to the past.


Lisa was already drowsy next to me, and on the right was a man with glasses, carrying two CK straps, and left alone after reading. Two foreigners sat in the back row, laughing from time to time while watching the movie. There are also several couples of young couples, as well as the old man in sixty. There are always different expressions and life. Movie theaters are amazing places.


The story seems to have been seen somewhere, where is it, I can't remember it. Elizabeth's travels, in order to reinvent a new self. Well, let me call her liz. The two stories I met on the road both ended with someone dying. Su Lin had loved him, but she felt restrained and wanted to leave later. Ani is a man who is too determined. It seems that he needs to burn everything to quell his anger, or he loves too much and can't find a way to express it. He can't forgive her betrayal and can't find any suitable reason and method to persuade her to change her mind. . It can't be solved no matter what, it's a dead end. And Liz changed his name to give himself a new identity. She heard clearly what Su Lin said later. In fact, she just wanted to be free, or she had tried to get back the feeling she loved at the time, but what she got was not what she wanted. Will Liz think of her ex-boyfriend, and will she guess that he is actually like this. Do you think of yourself when you can't do anything at that time? The self who didn't say anything, just the self who left. Love is always unresolved, and when it ends, it ends. i said nothing, just walk away.


Don't like that Natalie Portman story. A rebellious little girl who is too defensive. Believe or deviate, they are different people after all.


Jeremy was still waiting, waiting for his girl, waiting for a new opportunity, a chance to be a new person. He had that in common with Elizabeth in a sense. In fact, to put it bluntly, he is still reluctant to abandon the past, and he would rather be saved and changed while waiting. But at this point, Elizabeth was stronger than him, much stronger. She took the initiative, she buried the past with a journey. But in the end he discarded the key and made up his mind to say goodbye. The conversation with my old girlfriend was very profound, and I deeply knew that we can't go back.
He fell in love with Elizabeth, probably from the same kind of touch at first, but later, it felt like a deep love. waiting. Just like he used to do. And that kind of kiss, no matter how you look at it, it's a very happy gesture.


There are always people who attach themselves to the journey when they feel pain or confusion. The same is true of the recent "Etudes", I always want to find a new self in this way. Substitute, flip, vacate change, better than ever. Because it is always difficult to stay awake, and it takes too much courage, so you can temporarily escape from here, and one day you will continue to have enough strength to move forward again. And then there are those who stand still and wait for time to change them. I am such a person.


Everyone's story is too good to be compared to one another, or even worth telling. But there is always something that touches a nerve in an instant, causing the whole thing to collapse. However, how long will it take us to be able to face what happened calmly, no longer unhappy or afraid to move forward, or, one day, we can find someone who is willing to write him a long letter, a There is always someone waiting for you somewhere.


However, that should be after becoming a new self, right?

There's still a long way for you to be something new.

My Blueberry Nights quotes

  • Elizabeth: Why do you keep them? You should just throw them out.

    Jeremy: No. No, I couldn't do that.

    Elizabeth: Why not?

    Jeremy: If I threw these keys away then those doors would be closed forever and that shouldn't be up to me to decide, should it?

    Elizabeth: I guess I'm just looking for a reason.

    Jeremy: From my observations, sometimes it's better off not knowing, and other times there's no reason to be found.

    Elizabeth: Everything has a reason.

    Jeremy: Hmm. It's like these pies and cakes. At the end of every night, the cheesecake and the apple pie are always completely gone. The peach cobbler and the chocolate mousse cake are nearly finished... but there's always a whole blueberry pie left untouched.

    Elizabeth: So what's wrong with the blueberry pie?

    Jeremy: There's nothing wrong with the blueberry pie. Just... people make other choices. You can't blame the blueberry pie, just... no one wants it.

  • Elizabeth: [wiping her tears] How do you say goodbye to someone you can't imagine living without? I didn't say goodbye.

    [pause]

    Elizabeth: I didn't say anything. I just walked away.
