Waiting may be the most humble thing in the world
. The film "Tell Her" has been saved on my computer for at least half a year. This kind of seemingly plain but can always stab you at your most vulnerable place. The story, you have to wait for a quiet good time to read it.
I just watched "Midnight in Barcelona" a few days ago, the classic cooperation between Woody and Scarlett, but it means more that Americans have a good encounter in this good place, and finally let the story be limited to Have an affair. It's like scratching your life, but after the scratching is comfortable, what should you do? There is no need to stop for scratching.
Compared with the American filming of Spain, "Tell Her", a film produced in pure Spain, has the most intense regional style and is the heroine's status as a matador. But the bullfighting scenes shot in this movie can't help but make people tremble. Although the heroine is dressed in standard matador equipment, it is extremely handsome and charming, but the bloody bullfight stabbed by the javelin on the field, and the attitude of the heroine kneeling on the battlefield like a sacrificial sacrifice at the beginning of the last game, are all cold-blooded. Makes people feel cool. Sure enough, in the end, she was stabbed like a bull that she had stabbed thousands of times. She was thrown down on the bullring and never got up again.




The first time I knew about this movie was from a novel I read before, and I quoted a passage from the film critic Jie Chen about this film: If you talk to a person and that person doesn't respond, how long can you last? one day? a month? Or four years? If you love someone and that person doesn't respond, how long can you last? three months? Five years? Or a lifetime?
Anyone who has ever waited may feel the same way. Waiting is probably the most humble thing in the world. The right to choose has been handed over to the other party, and it is never known whether to continue to wait or to meet the ending in the next day. No matter how deep the feelings are in waiting, there are just a few more needles that pierce the heart. Any disturbance will magnify the effect countless times for those who are still waiting, but what can it be? At the constant pace of the pointer. But in "Tell Her", waiting is Benigno love.
It is a wonderful thing to be able to watch the every move of the person you like from the window every day, and God gave Benino an even bigger surprise. The girl had to be a carer because of the car accident, and she had to take care of her every day. vegetative.
I don't think Benigno needs a girl to wake up, maybe he doesn't care about the ending of waiting, as long as tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, he can still be by that person's side, wipe her body, get a haircut, read a magazine, any ending will not be better than waiting the process of. Marco said it was just his crazy one-man show. So what, can a few people do it, put love on someone who won't respond, give all meaning in their life to someone who may not love you at all, and stick to it for four years. Wanting to stuff the villain into Ashali's body is like the ancestor of mankind who was bewitched by Satan and stole the forbidden fruit. It is probably the call of human instinct, and he must make an act of possession. Perhaps for Benigno, he just thought, what if this love is still just a one-man show when the waiting is over. The thought that comes to a tragic end, sows evil consequences.
So even the qualification to wait and wait was lost. Seeing this, I can't help but want to shout out what a stupid human being. But on second thought, after all, this is nothing else, but a love that is too humble even if the protagonist is enjoying it. This kind of thing always seems to be unable to escape the shadow of fate. Such a modest, stupid and persistent Benino tries to jump into a good ending by getting a girl pregnant, which is surprising, but not unexpected. . Perhaps, no matter how good the wait is, it will make people tired.
Benigno finally used the method of death to continue to follow his love. It can be said that he dedicated everything to this love, and it can also be said that he chose to escape from reality in the end, because there is no one he loves here, and the fool prematurely adopted all the meaning of life in the name of others, without giving it to others. I have nothing left, so I have nothing to miss. Such pure love, so it is a story.
In my opinion, the characters other than Benigno are all passersby in this movie. It is worth pondering that Marco enjoys the dance drama with wet eyes at the beginning and the end. It's better to say that in the whole movie, Marco is an audience like us. Tears are left where he is moved, and finally he becomes Benino's eyes. Then he looks back at the girl, she is very good, and will come again. Watching dramas on weekends, smiling, accompanied by someone who loves her, everything is fine, but there is no fool who will look at her through the window.
