I remember that Chiyoko had just entered the set and forgot her lines. The director told her that she only needed to substitute her true feelings. Since then, she seems to have been empowered and her career has been smooth sailing. That key gave Chiyoko countless fantasies and strengths about the beauty of love. After she poured this obsession into her career, she achieved a brilliant acting career, and her acting career, in turn, continued to realize her dreams and keep this love alive. The road is woven, and life is like a play, and a play is like life. So, that is indeed a key that "can unlock the most precious wealth". When I thought I was past the age of dreaming, away from myself who was chasing the lover of my dreams, and became a housewife with peace of mind, the gears of fate began to turn again. It turns out that Chiyoko has been teased by Eiko and Otaki all the time, "It's been so long since it happened anyway", saying such brazen words from the mouth of this man who lied to her love suddenly makes people feel extremely disgusting. Even after living together for many years, when it is discovered that this life is built on the foundation of lies, no matter how hard the building is, it will collapse instantly, let alone Chiyoko, a love idealist. Now that the "key" is back in her hands and fate is calling her again, it's time to set off again. Forgetting this terrible real life, Chiyoko abandoned everything now and started chasing her love very freely - the audience can make up for the shocked expression of Otaki's chin falling to the ground. A man who plays this kind of trick is destined to be vulgar, he can't be locked up and doesn't deserve Chiyoko's love.
Throughout her career as an actress, Chiyoko was surrounded by countless halos, with applause and audiences surrounding her at all times, as well as her so-called lover. But throughout the play, Chiyoko is always alone, chasing her dreams. It is difficult to articulate and not understood.
On the road of chasing your dreams, everyone is alone. After the accident on the set, Chiyoko retired from the film industry and lived alone for 30 years. When asked about this, Chiyoko took out the portrait that the key lover painted for her: Since ancient times, beautiful women are like famous generals, and white heads are not allowed to be seen in the world. She no longer has the courage to pursue that dream, because she is no different from the beauty in the painting, and the lover in her heart is always so young and handsome. She didn't want the person in her dream to see her own decline.
"The old man hates you, he can't help himself, but he also loves you so much that he can't help himself" - I hate that you are so young and can chase your dreams desperately, but I also love you, because it is a distance that can never be touched . Every time I thought I was approaching, the distance suddenly became farther away, just like chasing the painting on the moon and walking away again. I kept chasing and running like this, until I found that I had become the old woman, and then I looked back at my youthful appearance, and I felt jealous: I lost the qualification to chase after my old age, so I envy my young self. Even if I don't waste time in my whole life and chase non-stop, I will never feel satisfied. My face is getting old too fast. I really want to run and chase like this for thousands of years. So at the last moment, Chiyoko became calm: it doesn't matter, I have the key again, right? Fate is calling me again! Because what I like is to chase after that person. ——Leaving this sick body, the soul is liberated again, and there is no bondage, and I can start chasing my unfinished dreams again. The sea of stars is waiting for me! This journey will never end. Be happy for me. ps: Later, whenever I think of "Millennium Actress", the most memorable scene in my mind is the moment when Chiyoko sits in the spaceship and prepares to fly to the vast universe. This scene seems to have appeared three times before and after: the opening, the filming scene, and the ending. The first emotion that popped up in my memory was loneliness. Intense, endless loneliness.
