When I searched for a film review of "The Purple Rose of Cairo", I saw someone using the flower of Cole's law to describe the movie: "If someone has been to heaven in a dream, and gets a flower as a testimony of having been to heaven. And when he wakes up When I found that this flower was in his hand... Then, what will it be like?" However, in the world of movies, when the light above your head comes on, you reluctantly stand up from the red velvet chair, but you are always in your hands. Can't leave the flower of Colele. The screen separates two worlds without intersection. But this time, Cecilia, who was sitting in the "jewelry" movie theater, got much more powerful evidence than a Cairo purple rose, passing through false and true evidence-a living person walked out from behind the screen and took her Take a journey that is extremely beautiful but never returns. Speaking of "Purple Rose in Cairo", everyone talked about Tom's pioneering move out of the screen. Although this is not the first, but due to the charm of the work itself, it still attracts a lot of parody and tribute. And one of them, in my opinion, is particularly worth mentioning, "Escape from the "Free" Cinema". The style and theme of this movie are completely different from "Purple Rose in Cairo". It discusses ideology, freedom, and politics, with a heavy Polish flavor. However, the director bluntly expressed his admiration for Woody Allen: he asked the projectionist to stack "Sunrise" and "Purple Rose in Cairo", allowing Tom to step out of the screen, but not to Cecilia, and It was a discussion about rights, power, freedom, and ideological emancipation with the characters in "Sunrise". Such a great idea full of imagination should be the best way to pay tribute to geek masters like Woody Allen. Woody Allen is a person who makes it impossible to characterize. He makes speculative movies and laughter comedies. His stories are always full of pungent and acrid irony, but there is always a trace of open fantasy and warm tenderness in the small corners that the big balloons are dissatisfied with. When someone tells a story, they desperately explain what they mean; some people tell a story, so they can naturally make people understand what they mean; others tell stories that make everyone feel that they understand different things, but She didn't dare to understand, she couldn't help but wanted to grab the narrator's neck and shook it fiercely. Woody Allen belongs to the last kind of person. This American Jewish art master possesses a tragic temperament that is hidden behind naughty, mean, and cynical. His works make people laugh, turn their faces and sigh silently. Cecilia is a poor American woman who lived during the Great Depression. She was a boring waitress-she was lucky to have a job in that era. The boss treated her No sympathy. Her husband rubbed her three times, scribbling and indifferent to every sentence. Even his lover is a fat and unattractive woman, and even their affair does not have the excitement of "stealing". When hit by Cecilia, her husband's explanation was so absurd that there was no logic at all. It can be seen that the husband is as indifferent to her as to the Great Depression, and he has a lazy tone no matter when he speaks or walks. Only the black and white of the movie can make Cecilia feel excited, feel the passion in her heart. When this pale and slender woman stared at the screen, her eyes and face were shiny-even when she bought movie tickets and popcorn, her body and mind had such a radiance. The camera always takes pictures of Cecilia's slightly upward-looking face illuminated by the light of the screen from the angle of looking up slightly, her eyes gleaming with the influence of the motion on the screen. Only the beautiful people, witty sentences, luxurious life, happy plot and ending in the movie can make these people who are struggling in the Great Depression temporarily forget the bitterness of reality. When Cecilia talks about movies, her voice is always up. It can be seen that it is precisely because of such a thing that she can love that she can still have good emotions for life. The era of the Great Depression was the time when movies became sound. The new sound film came to the United States in 1929 along with the Great Depression. Audiences, including Cecilia, flocked to the cinema to watch sound films. With the economic recession, sound films have increased the cost of movies. Small film companies and theaters have closed down one after another, and large film companies have to rely on consortia to survive. However, the American film industry used "Penny Theater" and "B-Class Films" to survive, and provided evasion and relief for tens of thousands of Cecilia throughout the 1930s. When a person only has a piece of bread, fate often has to take away even this bite of grain. Her husband's betrayal and abuse escalated, and the boss fired her. At this time, I'm afraid the movie can't be her life-saving straw. But all she can do is go to the cinema and stare at "Purple Rose in Cairo" in a daze. Until Tom came to her curiously from the other end of the screen. This handsome and lovely young man is full of interest in everything-originally, this is a novel world, and besides, his role is an explorer. It can be said that when this role is played, in the world of Woody Allen, he should leave the screen. Because he is an explorer, he has stronger curiosity and bravery-"These characters have been written in the script." When he stayed on the screen, everyone just described the life of the upper class monotonously, talking about the romantic "high-end" Can't keep going. When Cecilia carried the luggage, rushed to the theater, rushed to a happy life. Her poor clothes and inelegant gait have always reminded: How can a Hollywood creature, whether he is a big name or a small star, fall in love with such a woman. Here is the same scene as the beginning of the movie: the same movie shift, the same letter of the movie name is taken off. Even the positions of the cameras are almost the same, just a little closer: nothing has actually changed. It's just that the audience's hearts are close to Cecilia. Everyone knows what is waiting for Cecilia at this time-Gel has left, and the frustrated Tom's "Purple Rose in Cairo" has been released. And all her dreams and hopes have been crushed, leaving only a dilapidated and gloomy future life. What poor Cecilia did this time, still could only go into the "jewelry" cinema. This time, "Top Hat" by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers is being staged. Fred sang Cheek to When Cheek's melody, we saw our familiar expressions in a familiar location on the screen, the shiny eyes and the radiant face. It's just that this time there are tears in the eyes, but it seems that this time the content is more complicated. Thinking of the beginning of the film, she stared at the cinema window, so drunk she also looked like this. The loading and unloading letters suddenly fell to the ground, awakening her wandering mind-in fact, the encounter with Tom and Gel would sooner or later be awakened by a letter that fell on the ground. Only at that time, neither she nor the kind-hearted audience would know. If Gel is real and Tom is illusion, then what exactly does Cecilia yearn for. She loves movies, or not as much as she loves the relief of illusions, so why did she turn around and choose Gel. But in fact, Gel is the biggest pipe dream. If a pure-hearted, handsome character comes out of the screen and pulls up a flat-looking, poor, thin woman, confessing love to him, and willing to spend a lifetime with her is impossible; then it is impossible to expect someone who is hoping for oneself. It is no longer a daydream for a small Hollywood star with a rising career to accept and take such a woman to Los Angeles. Of course Tom is a lie-even if his heart is sincere and his desires are strong, even if his kisses in the amusement park can be so tender and perfect, it will not change the fact that he is a fictitious image. Perfection itself is also a deception. However, the imperfect Gel is also a deceit, whether it is to quote his last regretful and complicated apologetic look to show that he may have loved Cecilia; or to use his impatient departure after the matter is resolved, to prove that he just used it from the beginning This poor woman, his deception and hypocrisy are already a fait accompli. A character is false, and the actor who portrays him can only stay at the false level because of his reality. Woody Allen used this interesting metaphor to discuss the film in the film, clearly outlined the "movie", behind this curtain, true and false, false and true, but you never want to grasp the whole world face. In fact, look at Cecilia's smile and think about her experience. We should be happy for her. We know that this woman will live well and earnestly. In addition to her abominable husband, poverty and unemployment, there are also kisses at nights in amusement parks, joyous songs in a musical instrument store, fights in churches, and rushes in restaurants. ——Wonderful, warm, just like a movie, why bother about the truth? May wish to be happy, may wish to return to the theater. If life is so sad Misery, and then rejecting the short-lived beautiful fantasy because of fear of sinking, isn't it that there is an added layer of sorrow on top of sorrow. This is an illusory and wonderful dream that one can never believe; but it is also a story that the bitter reality cannot but make people remember; most importantly-this is a good drama that makes people sorrow and joy. The soft and slender voices of Cecilia and the handsome and innocent Tom added a rare warmth to this ridiculous story. Let me see the softness in this bitter old man's heart. It is true that "The Purple Rose of Cairo" is also full of ridicule, sour life, helpless destiny, and full of cruel, ridiculous, stupid, and weak people. However, I was silent from Cecilia's smiling tears and Tom on the silver screen. In the gaze of the earth, I saw a possibility that was illusory, but infinitely gentle. When you want to hold Jimmy angrily, ask him why he deceived Cecilia, when you want to question Tom, why left the screen and disturb the life of an unfortunate woman, when you want to scold Cecilia, why are you so stupid... Finally you stopped Talking, thinking chaotically, I don't know where to start. When the film is about to end, Cecilia is rolling crystal clear tears that contain too much content, and a meaningful smile, all your questions will rise into a misty sigh and emotion, the block is in your throat, hovering in In your mind, stupidly you will hold your chest and sigh.
