In a person's life there is always a person who is most important to him, maybe a parent, maybe a lover, maybe a friend, maybe something else.
The boy Duoduo left his father since he was a child and grew up under the care of his mother. Until he met projectionist Avery, and met a movie theater called Paradise. There he saw all kinds of life, where he grew up, where there was Avery who loved him the most. At that time, culture was imprisoned, and some very private plots could not be seen. So old Avery always cut them off one by one before the show. At that time, the young Duoduo always liked to hide in Avery's small room and play with everything related to the movie. It was also the large number of films that he watched that laid a solid foundation for him on the road of directing in the future. Avery knows how much he misses his father's love and care, and always compensates him bit by bit, treating him as his own.
Until the fire that nearly took his life. When everyone rushed to the exit of the theater in panic, Duo Duo ran in hard, because he knew that Avery was inside and he wanted to save him. After that, Avery went blind and left the screening room he loved. In his place is the growing Toto. And the relationship between them has also changed from dependence and dependence, caring and caring into mutual dependence and mutual care.
A lot of love, the feeling of first love surging in his body like a tide. Just when the girl was about to occupy his whole life was Avery, a deliberate arrangement by Avery made him lose his love and know how to find a new life in life. At parting we can see that Avery's grief is different from that of Dato's mother and sister. He leaned on Duoduo's shoulder tightly as if he was saying goodbye for the first time in his life. There is a lot of reluctance and anxiety about the children who will be alone in the future. However, he wanted him to go, not to look back. And such a goodbye is truly a goodbye.
When I returned to my hometown again, it was to attend Avery's funeral. By this time he was already a great director. When he walked on the road to his hometown again, and returned to the theater 30 years ago, it is now dilapidated and dilapidated. But when the dust was gently brushed off with the hand, the reflection of time was once again so clearly visible. The woman he met with his first love was the vicissitudes of his life. The woman told him about Avery the night before she parted, and she was so resolute that she could not bear to die. Only now did they realize that it was a misunderstanding and they missed it. It wasn't accidental, it was Avery's deliberate arrangement. He didn't want his Duoduo to leave with any concern. Despite his deep guilt, he persevered. Duoduo fulfilled the unfulfilled dream, but the woman told her that it was only this night, they had the past and no future.
The Paradise Cinema was demolished on the eve of his return to the city. On the day of the blast, people went, and those who accompanied it wiped away tears. After all, it's not just an old movie theater that's gone. And those times, those laughter and scolding, the joys and sorrows of the years are also annihilated in time. Duo Duo receives a film from Mrs. Alfrey that Alfrey asked to hand over before his death, and brings him back to Rome.
He watched this particular movie alone in a small screening room, which consisted of countless kissing scenes. It's all the clips that Avery cut out back then. They come in all shapes and sizes. When he was young, Duoduo once proposed to take these "abandoned" films, and Avery's answer at that time was: No, I will take them back in the future. Thirty years later, after shooting several excellent films and becoming famous, he quietly took over the past that was cut out. They are obscure and private, belonging to the world of Avery and Todo. The film features the letters FIN in Dodo's tearful eyes and always smiling expression. We could tell it was a relieved smile, the kind of emotion that maybe only old Avery, who was already in heaven, could understand.
We were fortunate to have someone who guided you in your path while we were growing up. That person is so close and intimate. He teaches you all kinds of life, tells you what kind of life is the so-called happiness, and even his setbacks. He will take it as it is, and will not hesitate to expose the pain and tell you, hoping that you will not repeat the same mistakes and walk more smoothly. Avery is that guy.
There are a lot of emotions intertwined in the film. Mother's caress, lover's perseverance, and all these emotions are not as profound as the imprint left by Avery on Duoduo's heart. The essence of emotional transcendence between father and son and friends has been further sublimated. We saw Avery's good manners to him as he grew up. We see the joy of seeing the world through a small hole through a wall in their little house. We saw Avery's intertwined feelings when they parted, looking at the half-understood. All of this has turned into a plastic disc thirty years later, slowly pouring out the memories that have faded away. It slowly drowned the time passed and drowned our hearts, and there was a kind of passionate emotion that flooded our hearts for a long time. Its ripples swayed and turned into memories and feelings of the past. When we left the computer and stood up from the stool, it seemed that we had also experienced a memory of our own. And the protagonist among them may only be understood by everyone in their own hearts.
