This is the journey of two lonely and sensitive hearts colliding, with the taste of soda, cigarettes and sincerity, as the reporter said in the film:
"When I think about this journey, I think about David sitting in the front seat with me in his car, we were both so young, he wanted more than he already had, and all I wanted was what he already had. What we have, we don't know where our lives are going.
Those conversations were some of the best conversations I've ever had, David thinks the existence of books makes people forget about loneliness, and if I could I would say to David that those days with him weren't about taking me out of life, but It was a reminder of what life should be like, and I would tell him it made me feel less alone. "
This interview in the movie also reminded me of the interview experience Xu Zhiyuan mentioned in "Thirteen Invitations":
"The original purpose began to retreat, and I became more and more attracted to the visiting process. I liked to have exciting, sometimes salty conversations with them, and sometimes even fell into embarrassed silence... No matter how self-righteous you are, you can't get through. After a few hours of getting together, you claim to understand another person. But the conversation has its own logic, it forces both sides to outline their own contours and look into their own hearts. People seem to reveal themselves more easily in front of strangers.”
Really profound interviews are not KPI-style surveys, or digging out eye-catching exclusive rumors, not to listen to a few beautiful words from idols, so that you can understand and change your life in a few minutes. The interview itself is a kind of intrusion, but as the interviewer's true temperament and inner face become more exposed and involved, the underlying emotions such as the anger and anxiety aroused by the interviewee have become the key to see each other.
I am very pleased that the two have maintained a polite restraint in the painful inner analysis from the question-and-answer role of one-way obedience to the sharp probing of each other.
