The most impressive images, or clues, are two: cigarettes and paintings by Burne Jones.
From the beginning of Jenny's rejection of David's offer to smoking with a skillful gesture, it was a process of slowly accepting David and integrating into the world.
As for the painting, it is not only the reason why Jenny became interested in David, but also the heart she saw after she recovered herself.
The narration of the whole movie was calm, but it made me frightened to watch it.
It was later discovered that the film was adapted from the memoirs of real people, so it is no wonder that the film was so real.
I wonder if every girl will encounter a scene where an old man hands you a cigarette. There are two in my memory.
The first one was in high school, when I was in Singapore with a study tour group. The teachers and children in the group took a break very early, but it was my first time to go abroad at the time, and I was so excited that I just wanted to walk more on the road. To my surprise, the streets of Xinguo were very quiet after ten o'clock, and almost all commercial buildings were closed. I was walking slowly on Orchard Road with a map...
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with a refined appearance, asked if he could borrow my map, and he was also lost. . The man handed over a cigarette and asked me if I smoke? I politely declined. He didn't care either, smiled gently, put away the cigarette, pointed to the 7-11 on one side, and said: Why not buy a cup of coffee together and watch while drinking. At that time, I felt that this man was confident and calm in his speech, and he didn't look like a bad person, so I might as well try to be funny and let him go to the supermarket. At the freezer, he expertly picked two Starbucks glass bottles for filling, and paid the bill and told me that they were delicious. After stepping out of 7-11, he gently handed me one of the bottles. The action was natural, but it conveyed a kind of self-confidence that could not be denied. We chatted for a quarter of an hour while drinking coffee on the side of the road. Seeing that it was not early, he sent me back to the hotel where we stayed. Before leaving, he found a piece of paper and left msn, and then gave me a hug, the same gentleman but not allowed to refuse.
A few months after returning to Shanghai, he emailed me that he moved to Shanghai and wanted to go out for a meal together. We made an appointment at the typhoon shelter in Jing'an Park and ordered a lot of dishes (now I can't think of two people who can eat 500 yuan in the typhoon shelter). After lunch, he led me to the opposite Portman and asked me to help him choose the color of his custom-made shirt. There is an Italian handmade suit shop under Portman. I was wearing a school uniform, and it seemed so out of place when I stepped in. With the strange look of the clerk, I just wanted to quickly find an excuse to flash people. I talked about a few patterns at random, but he didn't think he would consider following my choice completely. I awkwardly accompanied him to measure the size of his body, and quickly ran away from the store. Walking out of the clothing store, he began to talk about the unhappiness of his family: his wife lives in a foreign country, and his children are indifferent and rebellious. He talks to himself about the glamour and loneliness of life, and the content is constantly drifting between superiority and desire for mercy. Halfway through, I handed me a cigarette. At that time, I not only waved my hand, but also said coldly: I never smoke. It may be that the plot is too similar to those old-fashioned dog-blood stories. I excuse my parents as soon as they waited home for dinner and said goodbye to him quickly... The
second time was in Taishan. At that time, I wanted to go to the mine in Zaozhuang, Shandong. My mother had already contacted a friend of the joint. Unexpectedly, when I was passing by Mount Tai, I temporarily wanted to climb the world's number one mountain. At the foot of Mount Tai, I met two men and two women from Chongqing and asked me to take pictures for them. The enthusiasm of the Bashu people attracted you in a photo shoot. When they learned that I was alone, they invited me to the summit and lunch together. During lunch, one of the eldest brothers handed me a cigarette and asked me if I wanted to. I said I don't smoke. They took care of me along the way, constantly shaking my baggage and having fun to make me laugh together. Parting, everyone left a contact information.
Not long after returning to Shanghai, my eldest brother said he would come to Shanghai to watch F1, and at the same time he bought me a ticket for station A. Perhaps since I was a child, I have been self-aware of my looks, and I have never realized that being favored by others is right, so I found an excuse to shirk it. Later, he also began to talk about those successes and loneliness. I heard my hair standing upright, like sitting on pins and needles...
The story of a middle-aged man is always a pattern: generosity and thoughtfulness that cannot be rejected, a full and carefree material life, and a gentlemanly demeanor, of course. , And a lonely boring life. They don't have as much desire for sex as others think, and they won't be committed to a person. There is only one rule of the game: the wisher takes the bait.
The ending of the movie story is very beautiful, the heroine successfully finished Oxford, and dated boys of the same age. The boy invited him to visit Paris with him. She told him that she would be happy and she couldn't wait to see Paris. It's like never been.
After watching the movie, I felt uneasy for a long time, maybe because I was worried about whether I accepted the two cigarettes in another parallel world.
I remembered that one time I saw the imported Stackbucks coffee in a supermarket with Mavericks. Maverick exclaimed that Starbucks came out of glass bottles. I smiled and accompany him to surprise me. Finally, I bought the bottle because it was too expensive. A cup of Benassson.
In the F1 Shanghai station just past, we took the 11th line for a long time to get to the stadium. Because the tickets were too expensive, we were not willing to buy them, so we sat in the lounge area outside and watched the live broadcast on the big screen. I said thank him, I wanted to come here for a long time.
The sense of steadiness that you understand is called happiness.
At the end of the film, I saw the painting of Burne Jones and I almost cried:
maybe someone has the elegance, wealth, humor, and fun. They initially attracted you...
But after a long time you will find that those reasons Can attract you, but because they are all things that live in your heart.
Girls, you don't need to go through shortcuts to find the beauty you want. Grasp the picture in your heart, the real beauty lies in yourself.
