Hippo in winter

I don't have too much emotion to tell this story, I don't have too much memory to decorate my emotions, but I remember this movie, the movie that confused you and made you cry.

It was also a winter when I turned on the air conditioner and watched a movie that was even harder to swallow than a cookie while eating a damp cookie. Layers of black and white light and shadow passed by, and the illusion and glitz of the past also shrouded me layer by layer.

Love does not need to be about the body, you taught me, but you forgot.

I was drowsy in the rambled lines, and the stagnant group performers created an absurd touch. I remember you, you in the 20th century. I forget you, you in the early autumn of Beijing. You're sitting beautifully in the wind wearing grey contact lenses, and you're wearing jingle bells around you in a super-short skirt.

You forgot all about it, and I rambled to stay in this land you wouldn't notice.

I dream of you, white marble column. Green vines. You lazily lean against the wall and curl your hair like a creeper. I think I don't want to be left alone in my memories anymore. Sometimes memories are just an open space, you can choose to walk in or walk out.

Goodbye, hippo girl. Thank you for making me realize how powerful and forbidding hippos are. But when your innocent eyes looked at me, I realized that you never understood me. Taking a deep breath, I walked out of the open space.

The movie is over. FIN…THE END out of subtitles to go to the toilet, and so on.

    The heat in Kunming is crazy, and the newspapers are hoarsely issuing high temperature warnings. No wonder I was sweating profusely when I stayed indoors yesterday. It is said that the hottest place in Yunnan is Qiaojia County, 38℃; the coolest place in Kunming is in the monastery in Xishan Senli 25°C. Taking advantage of the coolness of the morning, I reviewed "Last Year in Marionba", and I still like it. I write novels on film. The sense of form and emotion are super charming. The ambiguous feelings between men and women are probably nothing more than hallucinations.

Last Year at Marienbad quotes

  • X: I must have you alive. Alive, as you have already been every evening, for weeks, for months.

    A: I have never stayed so long anywhere.

    X: Yes, I know. I don't care. For days and days. Why don't you still want to remember anything?

    A: You're raving! I'm tired, leave me alone!

  • X: [Last Lines] The grounds of the hotel were symmetrically arranged, without trees or flowers, or plants of any kind. The gravel, the stone, and the marble were spread in strict array in unmysterious shapes. At first sight, it seemed impossible to lose your way. At first sight... Along these stone paths and amidst these statues, where you were already losing your way forever in the still night, alone with me.
