I knew that falling in love with you would take a lot.
Since then, thinking of you has
become my habit.
Only you can touch my heart.
I know that you have also been touched by me.
Who knows, you are the lover I can't touch.
——Inscription:
On Saturday morning, I sat quietly beside the computer and cried like a mess. The reason was just because of a movie, "Untouchable Lover" made me wantonly shed my own tears in other people's stories , just because I was moved, just because I believed in love, just because of the slender warmth and softness in the film.
"Untouchable Lover" was actually released as early as 2000. As a sci-fi love movie, director Li Xuansheng laid out the plot incisively and incisively. A touch of sadness made people unable to restrain themselves, so I burst into tears.
We are familiar with the story of Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly. In Zhuang Zhou's dream, he turned into a dancing butterfly, so is it in another time and space, at the same time, in the butterfly's dream, it turned into the appearance of Zhuang Zhou? The idea is very beautiful and romantic. For myself, I would rather believe that maybe, there really exist two parallel spaces. In our respective spaces, we are performing intertwined stories and inextricably linked with people to compose a story. The first human love song to miss and stay with each other.
"The Book of Songs" has a cloud: "The room is far away, and the people are far away." The furthest distance in the world is this. Obviously, each other's hearts are very close, but they are far apart, even for the rest of their lives. They never had the chance to actually meet each other. How deep is the love, not so much.
In the film, the voice actor Enshu and the architect Xingxian both live in a hut named "il mare (sea)", but they live in different time and space at the same time. The time and space where Enshu is located is 2000, while The time and space where Xingxian is located is 1998, one exists in the present, the other exists in the past, but through the same mailbox, through the exchange of letters with each other, there is a relationship, which makes people daydream.
Letters, to myself, have always been regarded as the most affectionate means of contact between two strangers, expressing their feelings in the most ancient way, all the sadness and parting, all thoughts and loves are transformed into words full of faint ink fragrance, which can It is a very romantic thing to be able to hold the letter paper happily and think about the other person's frown and smile when they write a letter.
Back in the film, Enshu and Xingxian gradually planted each other's shadow in their hearts and took root in their correspondence. In their respective lives, they were not happy. Enshu went to the United States to find another boyfriend. The new love, and the estrangement between Xingxian and his father has not been broken, and they are also facing the test of love, the same confusion and pain.
Xin Lienshu said: I thought love was eternal happiness. We suffer because love continues, not because love disappears.
In the reply, Xingxian said: It is better to have loved and lost than not loved at all.
Xinli Xingxian said: I am always haunted by memories that I want to forget. Do you have any memories that you want to forget?
In reply to the letter, Lienshu said: There are three things people cannot hide: cough, poverty, and love. You want to hide, but you want to hide it, but you still want to hide sometimes, I just sit there and cry, I cry until I can't cry, love is asking for trouble, love is different, but the same goal, hope Your dad's books let you get to know him better.
In this way, two people are like pen pals, comforting each other's wounded hearts, but the most sincere concern has the magic power that spans time and space to make both hearts feel warm, just like a drowning person who finds driftwood and is redeemed.
He found for her the tape recorder she lost two years ago; he watched her quietly at the subway station where she often appeared two years ago; he sent her the red gloves she liked to keep her warm;
She sent him goldfish and earmuffs for warmth as a thank you gift; she asked him to meet at Coral Beach on March 11, 2000 at 3:00 pm, but he had to wait 2 years for living in 1998, Perhaps, for them, if they can't really meet, there will be an inevitable sense of emptiness, and meeting becomes each other's most urgent desire.
In the letter, they exchanged their own ways of finding happiness. Enshu said: find a convenience store, buy a can of beer, drink it, and then run all the way to the playground and play the exciting roller coaster.
Xingxian said: Take the bus to Mumo, take a walk on the tree-lined path near it, walk alone and think until tired, then walk into a nearby coffee shop and have a glass of wine, there is a bottle I left behind A wine that was only opened in 2000.
Following each other's methods, they found the long-lost happiness and peace of mind with their unique methods that belonged to each other. The distance between the heart and the heart gradually narrows, and the fit of the soul is getting higher and higher, which is similar to the spiritual love of Borato, and the satisfaction and happiness it brings are incomparable with material things.
Xin Lienshu said: I thought I could forget him, but when I heard his voice again, everything collapsed again. I knew that he loved others, but I was embarrassed by myself, please help me to stop him from leaving.
Xingxian replied: I will help you, it is really a blessing to know you, thank you for everything you have given me, goodbye.
Facing her ex-boyfriend, Enshu could not completely forget, and wanted to use Xingxian from two years ago to save the love that had already passed away. For Xingxian who has fallen in love with Enshu, such a request is tantamount to inserting in his heart. A deadly dagger, but because of love, despite being reluctant and heartbreaking, he still chose to help her, because as long as she was happy and she was happy, it was enough for him.
In the subway station, when he saw Enshu from two years ago and saw that she didn't know him, he would be heartbroken, "Am I really just a meaningless stranger to you?" When he saw Enshu, he questioned in his heart, which was so heart-wrenching, which made people feel pity and distress for this man who was deeply in love with each other.
In the end, he missed the appointment to meet formally two years later. On the way to Yeouido to stop Enshu's boyfriend from leaving, just one street away, he got into a car accident. The glass window separated him and her. She witnessed it with her own eyes. His death, and when he was dying, he looked at her in the window affectionately and reluctantly, the one he had long wanted to see, leaving a drop of tears, full of apology and nostalgia for her not being able to make an appointment.
Two years later, he did not appear after all, "he dedicated it to his true love", he left her only the architectural drawings he designed for her according to her preferences. What is affectionate.
In fact, the end of the film shows us two completely different endings. In two parallel spaces, in the time and space where Enshu exists, Xingxian inevitably suffers a car accident, and she inevitably witnesses his death; In the time and space where Xingxian existed, because of a timely dissuade letter from Enshu, he avoided the car accident, and two years later came to Enshu, looked at Enshu with a blank face, and told her sincerely The incredible story between them, two different endings exist at the same time, but they have different interpretations in different spaces. As audiences, we naturally tend to Xingxian's ending in that time and space. Regrettably, there are only real encounters and friendships.
"Untouchable Lovers" is like "The Untouchables", like "Rouge Buckle", like "The Secret That Can't Be Said", two people who clearly love each other are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and they can't even be surpassed. The distance is so close, the heart is close at hand, but people are separated from each other, but they can't be in love with each other. They are so close, so far, they can't touch, they can't feel, and some are just mutual telepathy, which makes people feel entangled and tortured.
It turns out that being able to love and stay together is really the happiest thing.
