While watching this movie, I kept thinking of a friend. Not because I was as good as D and M in the movie, but why I kept so much of myself in front of him. D presents all of her in front of M. Her love, her pain, her dreams, her anger. In this extremely SUCK life, we need to present our true self to a friend, otherwise how can we live. We can cry loudly in front of TA; when we are lonely, we can call TA instead of buying a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of vodka; we can share all the trivialities in the love relationship with TA. Friends for life are probably like this. And I always have reservations in front of him. He kept guessing, and I kept hiding. Like we all love this game. However, when the gunshot sounded in the movie, I realized that the past and the future were only in that moment. We always have so many things we should do and want to do, and we use the excuse of not having time or opportunity to postpone them indefinitely until tomorrow. Yet stories of separation happen every day, and time and distance always fill a rough sea between two people.
Life is always short, and who doesn't understand that?
Regarding the movie, there is a shadow of David Lynch, but it is more like the movie STAY. It tells the story of the moment before the death of life. In this film, that moment is the future in her eyes. Kind of unreal, kind of broken. The story is a bit convoluted when it finally shakes off the burden, and it doesn't feel so natural. I really don't like Uma Thurman, I always think her face is too firm, it always gives me a stiff expression. And Evan Rachel Wood is much better.
