"Will you jump from The Brooklyn Bridge for me?"
This is not a line in "Kate.and.Leopold", but That's what I thought before the moment I saw Kate jump off the Brooklyn Bridge.
I'm in this part of the screen, watching her teeter on the steel bars of the Brooklyn Bridge with her high heeled feet to the edge of the bridge. She wants to travel through time and space to the century, just for a man she loves.
Give up your successful career to live in a world completely unfamiliar to you, and there is no way out. Just for the man you love.
In fact, our marriage union is not like this. Fall in love with a person and decide to use the sacred marriage to prove each other's exclusiveness. But marriage is not about two people. Once you marry him, you marry him and his family.
Everything in his family, you must learn to understand, understand, and accept. Even love his family as he loves him. Some people can do it, and some people try but come back in vain. I think the latter should find the reason for their marriage breakdown from here. If one day, I meet him in the wilderness of
boundless time, I will ask him something like this:
"Will you jump from The Brooklyn Bridge for me?"
For a long time at the beginning, I felt that I was deceived by such a literary and artistic movie poster. I also thought to myself, in fact, it should be classified as a comedy romance movie, not a literary romance movie category, right?
In the middle of the film, the clues that the director intends to tell the audience begin to appear, "We can not live in the fairy tails forever". A lot of ugly, imperfect real-world ugliness is on the screen. The first to bear the brunt is the "generous farmer" cheese cheese endorsed by Leopold.
However, these dark colors are not as dazzling as Leopold's in the film.
When Leopold came on a white horse, when Leopold told Kate under the Brooklyn Bridge that people lived at a slower pace in his day, when Leopold grinded graphite and wrote a letter of apology to Kate, when Leopold gave his mother's family ring When tucked into my pocket...
a voice inside me said to Kate standing on the podium, go, this is not your stage.
You jump, I jump.
You jump for accident, so I jump for you.
There aren't many shots of Kate jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge, not even a single direct shot. If it is handed over to a domestic director to shoot, there must be a psychological struggle of not less than one minute. This can't give me unexpected admiration.
why?
As I said before, don't ask why, love is love.
If Kate is struggling and hesitating, then I would advise Kate not to jump because she doesn't love the man enough.
Since it's not enough love, enough love to give up this lucrative job in this world, then give it up.
But Kate didn't. She gave her last expression, trust and blessing to her only brother who couldn't rest assured, and jumped down without hesitation.
She did jump from The Brooklyn Bridge for him.
The ending repeats the joy of the beginning. Even when Leopold saw Kate's surprise and announced that Kate was her fiancée, when the two danced together, he was still very happy.
That's enough.
Kate jumps from The Brooklyn Bridge for Leopold, at the same time, she jumps into the fairy tail.
Aside from the highlights of the music somewhere, I think, what moved me the most was not the flickering candlelight and the melodious violin music of the two The dance is not the end of the two of them happily together, but at midnight, the two of them sat on the soft chairs on the open-air stairs, watching the old uncle on the opposite floor after listening to "Breakfast at Tiffany's", The hour when the lights go out at midnight on the hour.
Leopold kisses Kate, regards her as the most precious treasure, puts her on the bed, and leaves as a gentleman. Kate left him behind, and the scene where he slept with her from behind was, I think, the words in many people's minds:
"Yes, this is what I want for all." A
century ago, he was a man who had just migrated to American, handsome, handsome, likes science, bright on the outside and poor on the inside;
after a century, she is a white-collar leftover woman who died with her ex-boyfriend, not perfect, and worked hard for her love career.
"Will you jump from The Brooklyn Bridge for me, in order to live in the same centry with me?"
If one day, I also meet him in the boundless wilderness of time, if I am willing to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge for him, Then, I would say:
"I promise."
In the second half of the PS movie, the piano piece that Stewart played is the same as the episode in the animated movie "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time". I don't know if it is borrowed from the works of Mr. Yoshida Jie, who composed the latter's composition, or is it a well-known classical music?
(Verified as Bach's Goldberg Variations)
