The time started in August, Yu Yongyuan's life ended in winter, and when Jin Delin came to see him for the last time, it had already snowed, and it might be Christmas. Delin looked at the photo of herself hanging in the window of the photo studio and left with a smile.
She doesn't know yet that the person she loves has left this world.
It may be Yu Yongyuan's habit to enlarge the photo of the girl he likes and hang it in the window of the photo studio. He had hung up Yongzhi's photos
for 20 years. After 20 years, Yongzhi came back and had a very bad life. He had a gambling and violent husband, but he was still as young and beautiful as when he was a child. She came back and made a special trip to the photo studio, in the end just to let Yongyuan take down his photo from the window.
Delin didn't know Yongyuan's illness, that he was nearing the end of his life. Yongyuan is too worried about this world. His old father does not know how to use a video projector. He is afraid that no one will be able to help his father play the video after he dies. He is anxious because he is angry because he cannot teach his father. written on paper.
A man in his thirties, thinking about the end of his life, unable to sleep at night, hearing the sound of rain outside the window, feeling desolate and emotional, getting up and sleeping with his old father, there is not much time to be a son.
There is no one in the photo studio to take care of me. I am afraid that I will not be able to write well, so I use the camera to take pictures of the steps of using the machine. How much a person is nostalgic for his own life, take the time to see old friends and drink together; treat the girl who likes him kindly and accompany her there Amusement park; do your job well and take pictures for customers for free. When I go to the fresh fish market, someone is watching the slaughtered fish, but he only looks at the live fish in the tank.
From August to December when Yongyuan left, he attended the funeral of his good friend's father, took a photo of an old woman, fell in love with a girl but couldn't tell, until the end, he left this world and she was transferred. , the two never had the chance to meet again.
In addition to telling a complete story, a good movie should leave the audience with something other than the story. Ordinary life, the last few months of a photographer's life, sounds like nothing worth watching, the scenes are few, and the stories are ordinary, but it's never the big scenes and dazzling stunts that impress me, but the way we live in our lives. The most cordial thing - Delin stuffed the letter written to Yongyuan through the crack of the photo studio door, and the two of them walked the night road at night, Yongyuan told Delin a ghost story, and saw Delin for the last time forever, She was working. Through the glass of the coffee shop, Yongyuan's hand stroked Delin's little shadow. They were separated by life and death and were destined to be unable to be together. There are so few dialogues, so subtle, relying solely on pictures, actions and music to speak, seasons change, and love may fade, but the black and white photo taken by Yongyuan left Delin's most beautiful time in his memory. .
Screen design is excellent. Glass windows are used as props for many times, and the figures seen from the glass windows are hazy and blurry, as if fleeting, and this uncertainty runs through the entire film. But this kind of hazy is also beautiful, so beautiful that when it disappears, we feel the same pity and reluctance as Yongyuan.
When all the colors are frozen in black and white on the negatives, time has passed, things are different, and even the feelings that were fixed at the time are different now. This kind of change makes me sigh. Fortunately, in Yongyuan's monologue at the end, when Delin was the most beautiful, just like that black and white photo, it will stay in his heart forever until the last moment of his life. If Delin knew, she should be happy too.
A couple of men and women who had been in Qiqi Ai each had their own difficulties and could not speak. When they did, it was too late, but they each understood in their hearts. It is this kind of love that makes me cry, clearly in love but not able to say it, obviously knowing but not being together.
