Where the heaven is as shallow as the ocean is deep and you love me

Saw this movie late at night.

While indulging in the beautiful lighting and photography, I watched it with a little fear. Fortunately, there is a bullet screen protector at station B, otherwise I would not dare to watch this thing alone at night.

There are not many spy war elements in this show, but the figures of those spies keep appearing, lurking in the dark, listening and monitoring all the time. There's a lot of voyeuristic footage in the first episode, maybe even earlier, before Alex met Danny, and Alex was being watched. Alex was of course aware of this.

This is exactly the point that moved me. Alex can really fall in love with Danny under the premise of suspecting that Danny is someone sent by the enemy. On the other hand, under the premise that Alex had doubts about Danny at the beginning, Danny could bravely walk up to Alex and tell him his heart.

After watching the last episode, I felt that the director had inserted too many knives and the injury was too deep, so I went back and watched the first episode of Candy again. The first time I watched it, I felt a little too Jack Sue, but the second time I watched it, it was full of emotion. Their every look, every word, every temptation touched the heart like that.

They met on an icy street, Danny broke down and dropped his phone, and Alex walked over and squatted down to ask him how are you. Later Danny said that a lot of people asked him this, but Alex asked so seriously, he really cared about him, how are you? As an old lover, Danny has seen countless people, but this is the first time someone is willing to ask him seriously, even if that person is just a stranger who has never been masked. By the sea, Alex had been watching Danny's expression, presumably judging whether he was lying or not, and finally he smiled, presumably getting a satisfactory answer. Alex says he's always been a serious guy, but then, when he climbs the barbed wire with Danny, he opens his heart to it.

Alex's loneliness and alienation and Danny's bluntness and bravery collide, creating a wonderful chemistry. A lover with no experience in love, a veteran in love, finally made him one-millionth of his. Some people say that the password is so simple, try it twice and you will know. Yes, it is. The password is so simple, it's like saying, my heart for you is so simple and pure, as long as you understand it, you can open it.

Going back and watching the first episode, I realized that when Danny returned the drink bag to Alex, Alex's expression was not that he thought the other person was strange, but a kind of dazedness when that person finally appeared and started a conversation. He has been waiting for too long, waiting for that person for too long, until someone actually shows up, he will not know how to react like this. Including their careful relationship in the back, the faint embarrassment but filled with a happy atmosphere, even if it is a simple walk, it will feel that the desolate wilderness has become radiant.

Like Scottie said, what a romantic kid Danny is. As long as Danny is in love with each other, he is fully immersed in love. Love and others talk about his lover, chattering endlessly. That's what it's like to truly love someone.

So thanks to the first episode, I can understand why Danny is alone against the world. The world doesn't understand Alex, and Danny understands that Alex wants the exact opposite. The deeper he went, the more he could understand where Alex's Dugu came from.

This drama is really not really a spy war drama, it just uses such a setting, and its core is still a love story. This also includes Scottie's love for Danny, the headmistress's love for Scottie, the love of mother and son, etc., whether it is love or family affection can be excavated. But what moved me the most was the love of the protagonist, which was too lonely and even formed a sense of beauty.

Until the last episode, I couldn't believe that Alex was really dead. I feel that as long as the mother played by Aunt Rampling didn't see her son suffocated to death with her own eyes, then Alex would have hope of life. It wasn't until I saw the online information that the screenwriter said that he didn't plan to shoot the second season, and said that he never thought about the possibility of Alex living, and then he really felt that Alex was dead, in such a painful way.

Thinking of the opening sequence, in a sea of ​​fluorescent blue rays, he and his hands clasped, until at last the rapids separated them, one sinking, the other rising. One went to heaven and the other went back to earth. I happened to be reading Elizabeth Bishop's book recently, and I feel that there is a sentence that fits this title. It is written here:

"Heaven is as shallow as the ocean is deep, and you love me."


I hope Alex is all well in heaven.



- I am a dividing line -

Finally, a few points:

1. In fact, Alex's habit of bringing a water cup when going out is quite good. I usually bring a water cup because I prefer to drink hot water, and there is always hot water with a water cup. drink. Then the water cup is also a part of clothing collocation. You can match any color of water cup with any color of clothes. It is cheap and looks good at matching. It’s great, right? What the hell. .

2. The bullet screen at station B really made me laugh to death. When the black man came on stage, a barrage flew by saying "The racial talent of black people - Nightcrawler", 233333. There is also the HIV Mutual Aid Alliance, there is a barrage saying that it is a "Bi Miserable Conference", one couldn't help laughing, I'm sorry, I shouldn't be like this! Then there are people who say that Alex was hunted because of the discovery of the ultimate. In an instant, will you be in a trance and red?

3. Look at the barrage and say that the London Spy is very similar to the prequel of Dr. Q. I haven't watched 007 yet, I will watch it.

4. I was so moved by Alex's words that I even wanted to write it down. Let me excerpt it here:

I want to tell you a story about a man. While everyone was laughing and drinking, he would just walk until he reached the exact same spot, where he'd sit with his back to all those people. And while he did everything he possibly could to signal to the world that he wanted to be left alone, more than anything, he hoped that someone passing would understand that what he really wanted was the exact opposite. And that this someone would sit next to him and strike up a conversation. I was that man and you were that someone.
