Just admit it, no need to prettify the emotion

Encounter), David Lean's masterpiece in 1945, won the Grand Jury Prize at the first Cannes Film Festival. The narrative method of reverse sequence flashback, the rhythmic control of the voice-over and the narration, let this brief encounter and love flow into the hearts of the audience, allowing the audience to feel its clear context, the flow of energy and the entanglement of branches, from accidental acquaintances. , gave birth to a vague goodwill, and when the feeling of love became stronger and stronger, the sense of guilt in the heart was also growing, and reason and emotion were intertwined. After seeing the six sides, I finally had to press the stop button to reluctantly say goodbye. It was like a train that was steaming into the station, stopped for a few minutes and then whizzed away. It also made the audience feel the sincerity of Laura, a person who is sensitive to feelings. Sincere people. The film unfolds from the point of view of the heroine Laura. She is married happily, her husband is considerate, and she has a pair of children, but when love comes, she can't stop her, like the coal dust that was forced into her eyes by the air current. Because of it, I met Alec, a general practitioner who is also married. Second time hurriedly greeted on a street corner. For the third time, the two finally got a chance to sit down and talk, and Alec then suggested going to the movies with her. She accepted it generously, but insisted on the fee AA system, which was a grudge against the married status of both parties. After watching the movie, Alec talked about his work, and Laura's affection for him doubled. Alec wanted to see her again at the same time next week, and at first he pushed back, then begged her to agree. In the carriage home, she pretended to be reading a book with a "guilty conscience", and then told herself that she would not go to the appointment next week, fortunately she did not do anything "out of line". But when the time came, she went again, deceiving herself that it was out of "politeness". Sitting at the same table in the cafe, he didn't show up. Depressed, she lamented that the cellist's performance was no longer interesting. Absent, with Alec in her head, she walked out of the cafe, worried that she would never see him again, but was overjoyed to see him running down the underpass and rushed forward to get him in the car. In a hurry, the two agreed to meet again next Thursday. It is logical to come to the fifth time. The two sat in the movie theater and laughed happily. At the same time, she also paid attention to the eyes of the people around her. When she slipped out of the movie theater, she described it as "like a thief". Then like a free young couple rowing in the park, Alec accidentally falls into the lake, and Laura laughs. The time spent with each other is like the sun of the day. Hearing the love expressed by Alec, she hoped that the two of them would be more rational, but admitted that she also loved him. She enjoyed being embraced and kissed by him, revelling in romantic love. On the way back alone, she seemed to be sitting on the cloud and fantasized about the two of them going on a sweet journey around the world. Back home, she told her husband F for the first time Red lied and said that he had dinner with Marie, and called Marie to help her with the lie. Unfortunately, on the sixth meeting, Marie witnessed Laura and Alec drinking champagne and eating a feast in the restaurant. Laura tried to muddle through without success. She opened up about her shame, guilt, and fears to Alec, especially at the apartment of Alec's friend Steven, who nearly bumped them into each other. Laura withdrew from the back door and ran through the rain, embarrassed and ashamed. In order to sort out her mind, she wandered outside for 3 hours, and decided to stop her irrational behavior and did not want to see Alec again. Alec expressed understanding and respect for this, and only wanted to say goodbye for the last time. At the beginning of the movie, it was the seventh time the two met and the final breakup. Sitting down at the table in the cafe as usual, Alec was about to leave South Africa, Laura looked lost and sad, and it was even more regrettable that her friend Dolly suddenly broke in, making Laura unable to say goodbye at the last goodbye, and could only force herself. Crash quietly in your seat. "Many crashes actually happen in silence. You sit there motionless, but your inner world has collapsed and shattered, and the ground is in a mess." But "this kind of pain doesn't last forever, nothing lasts forever, happiness doesn't, Neither will despair, nor will life last forever.” Mu Xin said, “I often think that human beings are a kind of container, filled with happiness and sadness. But people are not containers, they are conduits through which happiness flows and sorrow flows. , the conduit is just the conduit. All kinds of happiness and sorrow flow through, until death, the conduit is empty." Everything is empty, everything is fleeting, only cherish the present. For such a real heart and love, it is enough to admit it and remember it, and there is no need to over-beautify it. Everything is empty, everything is fleeting, only cherish the moment.

But man is not a vessel, man is a conduit through which happiness flows, and sorrow flows, and the conduit is but a conduit. All pleasures and sorrows flow, until death, and the conduit is empty."

    The point-to-point narrative is matched with the title of "Meet Hate Late", but it is extremely delicate, and every little expression and every murmur is perfect.

    1. Purely Melodramatic. Big flashback. 2. My dad fell asleep while watching, and felt that the woman in the video was talking too much. My mother is still unfinished (mom likes Naruse...), and feels that my father still doesn't understand women, but he also complains that Western women are still a bit slutty and do not adhere to the ethics that should be followed in marriage. . . . 3. Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto opens, praise! 4. The use of lights and the mobilization of sound effects in the last scene is beautiful and exciting!
