All my tolerance for the "Once upon a Sea" has collapsed in this film, and there is nothing left. Originally, I just thought of the Legend of Zhen Huan that I had read countless times. Later, after a short comment reminded me, I suddenly remembered that Shunji Iwai's "love letter" was also included in the "Ocean Sea". But all the lethality is not as great as the deceit of these 45 years of ordinary life.
There are no photos at home. The heroine regrets that she has missed so many opportunities to keep the good times over the years, but the hero's reaction is to hit her chest with both hands and pretend to be a gorilla to change the subject to make the heroine laugh. Looking back on it now, there is only one sentence "Fake it, you continue to do it" and the infinite embarrassment sent to the guilty old man.
Regarding the photo, the hostess didn't remember so deeply. But after a long-lost lovemaking, the male protagonist sneaked into the attic at night to find photos of his girlfriend 50 years ago. There is also the dialogue of the old man "Continuing the Dress". The heroine finally put the photo on the ladder heavily. This is the first time in the film that she is no longer depressed but directly angry. Since then, the photo has planted the seeds in the heroine's heart. Later, when the heroine was not at home, the heroine secretly ran up to the dim attic, found a projector, and opened the photos from more than 50 years ago. This is the saddest scene in the whole film except for the ending. In the dark attic, dust floats between the young ex-girlfriend and the old heroine. The heroine shrank in the darkness like a dead gray, her eyes were gray, and the pictures on the screen were in front of The girlfriend smiled happily and brightly, stroking her already high belly with her hands. This is the first full-scale collapse of the heroine: I thought that the old man was wrong only because of the letter and the corpse that always remained young in the glacier. Later, I found out that the old man has never let go, and all the decisions between them are based on It is related to this person who has long since existed, and the person who has slept on the pillow for 45 years has never let go of the past because of the appearance of the heroine or the passage of time-not that he didn't take pictures, but that he didn't want to give it to the present. It’s not that I don’t want children, it’s that I don’t want to have offspring with the existing family (here I borrow from the heroine’s roaring “including those big decisions, it’s all because of her”); including what kind of dog to keep (film) The middle is German Shepherd, and the male protagonist's ex-girlfriend is German), what perfume should I spray at home......
All the bits and pieces of the past 45 years have begun to deteriorate in the lie. The uncovering of the lie is the first major abuse point of this film, and it is also something that most of the first half of the film wants to say slowly, and the latter part is more in my opinion. Terrible, re-enactment of lies.
On the day of the anniversary, the old man changed his mind, repaired the toilet early, said good morning to the hostess before going to bed, and accompanied him with carefully prepared gifts. Everything was in order, including the affectionate speech at the banquet, and as the heroine's best friend said, left "moved tears". These scenes of pretending that nothing happened, "You are still my favorite", probably deceived most of the audience, and it was also the point that moved many people. But it seems to me that there is even some physical discomfort, how ironic, on the 45th anniversary, with the same attitude, the same deep affection, and the beginning of the lie. The heroine's expression at this time is already a bit wrong. It wasn't until the two started to lead the dance, with the song "smoke gets in your eyes" that they married that year, that the heroine finally collapsed completely. The lyrics of this song gave the heroine a knowing blow: "yet today my love has flown away; I am without my love", the man from 45 years ago who didn't even miss the music at the wedding. The last sentence "smoke gets in your eyes" At the end of the high-pitched voice, the male protagonist held the female protagonist's hand and cheered, intoxicated with another seamless performance and lies, the female protagonist suddenly pulled his hand away, and completely collapsed under the contrast of the surrounding cheers, and then the film came to an abrupt end. end. The scene where I pulled my hand should be forever in my heart and should be one of my favorite endings of the movie, the anger comes at the right time, and the movie ends at this moment without leaving the audience a chance to heal.
(It will make me dare not watch it a second time.) Another interesting thing about this film is that it is a story with a single protagonist. It can be seen from the poster that although the male protagonist is in front of the female protagonist, his face is blurred. In fact, the "blindness" of the male protagonist is very obvious in the film. There are very few scenes where the male protagonist takes the initiative to explain from the beginning to the end. Even if he does, the camera is rarely on the male protagonist's face. And most of the lies of the male protagonist are all discovered by the female protagonist. In the end, what is left to us is just a blurred but indispensable man who has acted with lies and deceit all his life.
I think this way of blurring the male protagonist's own personality label and focusing on his 45-year big lie may be to weaken the personality and highlight the commonality of men. How many men swear when they lie, how many men never reveal their true thoughts, how many men never explain the reasons for their actions, how many men change the subject in time when they are about to be exposed, or hide the past with "half truth, half lie" ( But I admit that I am biased against a single gender in this way.) I
believe that this film is so real that many people feel embarrassed. It really depends on acting skills.
Finally, the lyrics to the song smoke gets in your eyes:
They asked me how I knew
my true love was true.
Oh, I of course replied
"something here inside cannot be denied."
They said "someday you'll find all who love are blind."
Oh,When your heart's on fire,
you must realize smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffed them
and I gaily laughed
to think they could doubt my love.
Yet today my love has flown away,
I am without my love.
Now laughing friends deride
I cannot hide.
Oh,So I smile and say
"when a lovely flame dies,
smoke gets in your eyes!"
(smoke gets in your eyes, smoke gets in your eyes)
Smoke-gets-in-your-EYES
really want It is said that since your love has flown away, since it has been in the sea, why not do what you should do, "take a lazy review of the flowers, half-favored cultivator and half-favored gentleman". Don't come out and harm people again.
