The origin of everything is the breakup between art student Ben (Attention, Captain Wood in HP) and his girlfriend Suzy. From the movie, the reason is actually that Ben said to his girlfriend "I'm sorry. I don't think I." can make you happy. maybe we should break up.” So, when the opera arias sounded, his girlfriend began to mad at him, strangely, the anger seemed to become charming and elegant under the slow-down camera. However, it was Ben who was suffering. He was still obsessed with Suzy. Whether in the photo or in his mind, it was just Suzy's smiling face and flying hair that reflected the sunset as he drifted away. Then he found it difficult to fall asleep, he had 8 hours longer than others. In order to spend the extra eight hours, he found a night shift job in a supermarket. In the supermarket, the most exciting 18 minutes in the movie happened. Ben found his own personal art. He could freeze the time and record the still body beauty of the opposite sex with a paintbrush. Although the scale here is quite bold, you won’t feel anything wrong. Well, you might even lament Ben's bizarre individualism. In Ben’s calm English accent, he explained to us the word "crush", a word used to express love but can also express disappointment-"a strong and unreasoning, but transitory attachment." Then he introduced Ben to the opposite sex. The recognition of her, the memory of her childhood has profoundly affected her now. The interspersed "Natalie" section is very interesting, especially since Natalie's occupation and the echoes of her childhood, it is not clear here. Then there was the football game that seemed a bit abrupt, somewhat absurd and surreal, but it fits the film well.
In the supermarket, he met another girl Sharon, a girl with dreams. He fell in love with her. In the still time, he drew every aspect and every expression of her. But because of one wrong second in two seconds, the aria sounded again, and Sharon left Ben, he finally realized "You can speed it up, you can slow it down. You can even freeze a moment. But you can't be rewind time. You can't undo what is done.” Later, Ben’s work was taken by the gallery owner and held an exhibition, and he invited Sharon to visit it. Sharon looked at himself over the wall and forgive Ben. It was snowing outside and time was still. Ben took Sharon into his world and found the most thorough and purest love in each other's hearts in the still snowy sky. Ben slowly said "Once upon a time, I wanted to know what love was. Love is there if you want it to be. You just have to see that it's wrapped in beauty and hidden away between the seconds of your life. If you don't stop for a minute, you might miss it.” Although the whole film does not have the most unified and complete core concept, you are not very clear about the original meaning that the director and editor want to express, but the film has to be with you What is shared is this concept of life: love is always there, what you need is your stop and the pursuit of your dreams.
The director put the content of the successful short film that has won countless awards (that is, the section in the supermarket) almost unchanged into the current feature film, the essence is preserved, and the story and themes are more complete and rich, which is an achievement A very successful and unique movie. If you usually listen to music and Indie, like to read you are so sad or admire Nabokov, think Dreamers is a movie that young people should watch, and still have illusions about ideals, then Cashback is perfect for you.
