There is only love in a boring life you do something to me, something that simply mystifies me. tell me, why should it be, you have the power to hypnotize me? let me live beneath your spell, do do that voodoo that you do so well, for you do something to me, that nobody else could do. The opening song "You Do Something to Me" established the 1920s of the entire film: a soothing, melodious tone, but also hinted at the whole The theme of the film: The magic of love on a person. In the film, this tune plays many times when the two male and female protagonists are alone, the observation deck on a rainy night, the male protagonist's marriage proposal, every time the male protagonist Stanley feels that he is inexplicably attracted by the female protagonist Sophie, this song It flows through the air like his inner monologue. In Stanley's mind, life was destined to be a tragedy. From the first dialogue between him and his friends, the film began to instill a pessimistic world-weariness concept in the audience through his mouth. Whether it's a citation: "Life is nasty, brutal and short." Life is nasty, cruel and short. -Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan "Life is no longer weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. "Life is nothing but boring, rotten, tedious and unhelpful. - Shakespeare's Hamlet Still sarcastic: "Aren't scientists the best deceivers? "That invisible world must be a good place to open a restaurant, and even ghosts have to find a place to eat." "I think Mr. Nietzsche has exposed God's statement convincingly enough. "People never think about how unfair life seems to be, to be born alone, to live a life without committing any crime, and then to end up being sentenced to death." ” Then, the film borrows the supporting actor: the mouth of a psychoanalyst, which objectively describes the actor Stanley, the background reasons for his personality formation and the composition of his mentality: a typical neurotic perverted personality, obsessed with death, Without faith, life has no meaning, an artist with depression, someone who tends to escape reality, a very unhappy person. He doesn't believe in any divine will, doesn't accept any man-made deception, so he lets himself be The man who confuses others, a magician who uses tricks to create illusions for the audience. Such Stanley, seduced by the only "friend" to come to the south of France, this sunny place, just to expose a "spirit" from the American countryside. Match" girl: Sophie. However, as he said, the closer he got to Sophie, the more shocked he became. And when he found out that he couldn't expose Sophie's psychic skills, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. At this time, the sound of "II. Molto Vivace", intense ideological struggle, self-doubt, unbelievable, if he can't get answers from truth and deception, he can't live as always. However, Stanley admits that everyone needs to find that reason to embrace life, and Sophie is his reason. When he realized this, and described his feelings about Sufi to others, he used: soul, spark and magic. A person who is extremely rational, admires Darwin, believes in science, and speaks words that he cannot explain himself. Love at first sight is a kind of magic, this kind of magic makes people love, this kind of magic is not magic, it has no skills, it can't cheat, it just happens in front of your eyes, and no one can resist it, ignore it, or debunk it. For everyone, life also needs reasons, even lies. Our life and life are like a designed labyrinth, seemingly random, but also drawn by some kind of destiny, seemingly dominated by ourselves, but cannot escape the torrent. Although there is no unified answer, people from all walks of life have their own opinions. For the meaning of life, everyone has their own answer in life, which is inevitable, because everyone needs an excuse, find a reason to live, and live a meaningful life. The cutest in the film is Bryce, who plays the piano, sings a serenade, and pursues this mysterious girl. Because he believed that Sophie knew himself better than he did, and he was eager to be understood and fell in love with Sophie uncontrollably. The happiest person in the film is Bryce's mother, a silver-haired woman who believes the world is much more than what we see. Because she questioned why God created them if all of this was going to go away eventually. So she believed in Sophie's channeling, in everything her husband's soul suggested. She is an innocent child, waiting for the candy that falls from the sky, and who would have the heart to expose all this and tell her that her husband does not necessarily see her as the only one in his life? Even when she asked herself, she was so unconfident, she clearly knew that she was not the only one of her husband, all she needed was a comfort, and she was happy to believe in such beauty. For this, Sophie also quoted Nietzsche's words to confirm: "We need our illusions to live." We need illusions to live. . . . . . . "But we must, if we are to get through life. I can be a king I can be almost any old thing It all depends on you It is a real old man in life, a lifetime of perception and expression, only love in a boring life. Love is unscientific, there is no logic to be found, it is unreasonable, it is the magic that people cannot break for thousands of years. In the movie, perhaps Woody deliberately borrowed the first lyric of "It All Depends On You": "Lovers depend on moonlight.", and named the movie "Magic in the Moonlight", referring to the birth of love as a metaphor. I believe there is no better metaphor for magic in the dim moonlight. How about a boy who fell in love with a girl and saw what kind of magic she used? Written by Xiao Xuan Er on May 11, 2015
