Others make clocks.
He was blind, but no one made more beautiful clocks than him. His greatest work hangs in the lobby of the train station, an upturned clock.
Wouldn't it be nice if, I mean if, we could live in the world of movies? Wouldn't it be nice to have no distance, no age, no time, so none of these barriers exist? You can even choose the direction in which time flows. Time can be reversed, everything has an ending before it has a beginning. It is not the end that makes people look forward to the world. How many unsatisfactory endings are there in this world? The first moments are often the most beautiful.
Many years ago, Miyun, a suburban county of Beijing, was a farmhouse's hostel. Sitting with her under the eaves, the night in the mountains is very dark, it is raining, the raindrops are pulling down long lines from the eaves, and the raindrops in the sky are falling like fine sand.
We just sat, silent, and eerily peaceful. It's a feeling that can only be felt when traveling, without any worries or desires. . . On such a night, listening to the sound of the rain with her is all I want.
We were 20 years old that year.
I have only sent flowers to three girls and she is one of them.
After graduation, she went abroad. The world turned out to be very big, and the distance can be very far. . .
But when you think the world is big, it can be surprisingly small. A month before I went abroad, I unexpectedly met her in another city, yes, on the streets of another city, and I still remember her exclamation. Looking at her familiar and unfamiliar, she didn't know what to say for a while. She smiled and pointed to the people around her and said, I have returned to China, this is my husband.
Wouldn't it be even better if all this was reversed, the chance encounter on the street was the beginning, and the ending was the quiet rainy night in the farmhouse in the mountains?
How many initial flickering emotions, how many initial throbbing, still unforgettable after many years? Wouldn't it be better if those first moments were the end of everything, and the less-expected endings were just the beginning?
"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is a movie that travels through big times. Benjamin Button was born as an old man, and he grew up contrary to everyone, getting younger every day. Screenwriter Eric Roth is also the screenwriter of "Forrest Gump". So the movie seems to be able to see a little shadow of "Forrest Gump". For example, the familiar line "You never know what's going to happen next." Is it similar to the line: "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get". Life may be like this, no one can know the future! Two people who passed by today may meet and fall in love again tomorrow.
The love of Benjamin's life may be only his childhood friend Daisy, but their love is not smooth. Gradually growing up, no, it was Benjamin who became less old and went to sea as a crew member. He roamed the world and returned to his hometown in the south after experiencing the vicissitudes of life. At this time, Daisy was no longer the little girl who hid under the table with Benjamin and shared secrets in her heart. Daisy became a famous dancer. She has almost everything, youth, beauty, flowers, applause, love. . . Life can bloom like fireworks. Benjamin went to see her expectantly, but he had no place in her life. Benjamin left sadly, and their story could end like this. Two people living in different worlds, some distances could not be traversed after all.
But no one will know what will happen next. A few years later, Daisy was injured in a car accident and she couldn't dance anymore. But this car accident made her and Benjamin's love, and the two began the happiest time in their lives. Daisy said: "How lucky we are not to fall in love at the age of twenty-six..." Love is sometimes like wine, it needs to be aged to be mellow.
In fact, you will understand at the end that this is not a movie about love, but about death. Almost all the people in the play are dead, no matter whether they are getting older or younger, in the end no one can escape death. But sadness doesn't seem to be seen in the movie. Life is like a river, passing through mountains and mountains, and finally flowing into the sea. . . Everyone has their own glory days and their own painful past. Life may be humble, may be great, and the final departure is the same for everyone. "You can be angry with your surroundings like a mad dog, you can curse your destiny, but when the last moment comes, you can only let go gently." When you saw Daisy lying on the bed, she was like an elf She danced gracefully, her skin was sagging, her eyes were dim, and she even had difficulty breathing. Who will be the winner in the race against time?
But maybe time is not always the winner, Benjamin writes postcards to his daughter wherever he goes, and on her daughter's birthday he wrote: "No matter it's too late, or too early for me, nothing should stop you from being what you want to be. The person you become. There is no time limit for this process, you can start whenever you want. It doesn't matter if you want to change or stay the same, there should be no constraints on doing things. We can do it well but we can also make it happen smash, but I hope you end up being who you want to be. I hope you can sometimes stop in this amazing world and feel like you've never felt before; I hope you'll see others who don't see it as you do People, I hope you can have a life you can be proud of. If your life is different from what you imagined, I hope you have the courage to start anew."
Youth cannot last forever, life will eventually fall, and memories will pass with life. And dissipated, but the human mind, and perception of this amazing world, has been passed down from generation to generation, coexisting with time.
Benjamin ended up being a happy man, dying quietly in the arms of his lover, like a baby.
