A movie that can't even be described as "indescribable", but a line in the film can sum it up well: "Time passes like a river". Time is always passing, but there are still some things that remain the same, like "the square is mine". The best things are always about time, as is the case with books and movies. The elderly and the elderly Duoduo have the same expression. When watching a movie, he holds his head and leans back in a posture like two adjacent films, and the years are silent.
The old movie theater reminds me of myself when I was a child, the same dark and crowded theater, and the same crowd of people who live in a mixed bag. The joys and sorrows under the stage are far more complicated than the clutches and reunions on the stage. At that time, I watched at least one movie a week and sat in the front row. From the time the entry light went out to the exit light, the flow of time was completely out of the world outside the movie theater. The light hole in the projection room, this is the first time that disillusioned consciousness has flowed into my heart, it is wonderful.
When I was very young, I had the idea that maybe a person’s whole life was photographed by God, and when he ascended to heaven, he could replay his entire life without missing any details. "Paradise Cinema" helped me make that wish come true. People can do it, but God has no reason not to. Tell the movie with the movie, tell the movie with the life.
There are three kinds of things in the world: the things of God, the things of man, and the things between God and man, that is, to correctly distinguish the former two.
Missing love has made a career, a movie that I loved since I was a child and a woman who has been waiting for thirty years. There is a joke, I told people that I wanted to pursue beauty and money, and people laughed at me; so I said that I wanted to pursue love and career, and people praised me for having a future. The narrative ethics is always in the hands of the speaker, or the weaver of language. So using my own film to tell my own life, to a certain extent, has completed the cause of God.
The director was very smart about putting the film through the show, and I'm not just referring to the 50-film cut. The square hole in the projection room, the lighted windows, the mourners looking out from the rear window of the car at Averdor's funeral, the mother who peeked through the crack of the door and watched the old movie showing Doto by hand, all of which are movies. There is something throughout life that is a happy life, and I've always believed that, even though I can't pinpoint the axis of my life's happiness right now, I know it exists. Life is much longer than a movie, and even a 3-hour director's version is far from enough. Maybe it's inevitable to admit mistakes along the way, just like Duoduo thought that the 30 years of infatuation he missed was complete in Ivordo's editing, and he finally knew that he Why the love of my life is the same, I will know when the words FINE appear in Paradise Cinema.
Supplement on September 5, 2007:
Today is the first day of English, and the teacher played this film again. It is a shorter version, and many scenes were cut out. The main cut is that Duoduo reunites with his long-lost old lover that paragraph. Brother said it's better not to meet again.
Reunion? Not to meet again?
Fredo finally heard the story, which is the story of "waiting" told by Roland Barthes in "The Lover's Whisper": a celebrity fell in love with a prostitute, and the prostitute made him wait under her window for a hundred first. One day, he moved a stool and waited under the window every night. After waiting for the ninety-ninth day, he picked up the stool and left.
In Fredo's story, celebrities become soldiers and prostitutes become princesses.
Same, go away. "Frankly, honey, I don't care."
