how long is a second

I watched "Sleepless in the Supermarket" intermittently. In fact, it's just a simple story. After breaking up with his ex-girlfriend, BEN, a student of the Academy of Fine Arts, felt that time was difficult and he couldn't sleep every night, so he found a night shift job in a supermarket, and finally fell in love with his colleague Salon. They accidentally talked about their dreams, and they came true by accident. Finally together.
It's a clichéd ending, but the film's charm lies in BEN's fantasy time-stops and melancholic monologues, not the nude cover.

Time was as slow as a standstill, and his grief grew longer and longer.
He said, "It takes about 500 pounds of force to crush a person's skull, but the inner emotions are far more fragile. My first real breakup happened right in front of my eyes. I didn't expect this It's as painful as a crash, and when the emotional outbursts come, nothing I do will help. Is it all my fault?"

In the slow time, he still gradually calms down the wound in his heart. He fell in love with Salon the moment the sun hit her. He had imagined countless times that he had frozen in time and walked towards her. Those vermilion red lips, charming smiles, and low eyebrows were all so vivid and concrete that he could let him paint them.
Maybe it's the pleasure of stopping time that fascinates so many viewers. Just like when we watched fairy tales when we were children, we fantasized about our own powers.
When we grew up, there were so many moments that we couldn't let go, let the memories repeat.
The ancient poem goes: Ten thousand people shake hands in one, and make my sleeves fragrant for three years.
In a long life, there are more than three years, and some moments can hold up a person's life.

Also in another second. Salon sees Ben's ex-girlfriend kissing him and leaves angrily. She didn't see that Ben had pushed her away the next second. Ben stopped the time for two days and couldn't think of a way to explain it. When the time was released, Salon left so quickly that people couldn't react.
It was just a second of misunderstanding, but he was unable to clarify.
There are many such hidden danger moments in our life.

However, in the end, he used his long-standing admiration to clear up the misunderstanding with an exhibition full of Salon's portraits. The most beautiful moment at the end, they kissed in the still flying snow.

"Once upon a time, I wanted to know what love is. As long as you put your heart into it, love is everywhere. You will see its budding beauty hidden in the moments of your life. If you have no time to stop, you may miss it. .”
Since you can’t keep it, it’s better to cherish the moment. Years later, the beautiful and the ugly can win a relieved smile.
