When I saw the movie theater being burned, I wondered, if the film ends here, it will be considered a complete story, although it is not long enough. The audience gathered around a piece of wreckage to discuss and regret, and there was a madman who had to pass by, leaving an already desolate square, and the matter was over.
But Duoduo hasn't grown up yet, and he hasn't even watched the kiss scene. He never took the girl's hand, and he never became a great director. The screenwriter would definitely let him taste everything and tell him that life was not easy. In the end, he looked back and reminisced about the past, and it was played like this on TV.
After that, Duoduo became a projectionist in a small town, grew up slowly, fell in love, the girl is very beautiful, and there is a beauty mole on the corner of her mouth, which can only be seen if you look closely. Then there are lovers who encounter obstacles and are forced to separate, one serving in the military and the other going to college, and the young love ends here.
At this time, Duoduo needs to go to a farther place to obtain a broader future. Before he knew it, the old man had already made a plan: not to come back, not to think of us, not to look back, not to write letters, to think Stay home and forget about us. If you fail to escape, don't come to see me. This is the road that the old man thought for him, and it is also the road that boys must take when they grow up. When he is strong enough, that is, when he returns home, even though the old man is gone, the cinema will be razed to the ground. Thirty years later, when Duoduo walked into that theater again, the dilapidated interior, the dark light, the curtain was also torn down, and there were spider webs everywhere, as if nothing happened. The past is no longer coming back, and the memories carried in the theater are slowly fading. You still remember a few of the movies we watched in those years. The dusty film hangs on the wall, and next to it is the shadow of the protagonist. What are you thinking when you are standing at the window?
Your women keep changing, but I can't hear love in their voices. Looking at her image again, it is still the most beautiful white moonlight. Forget her, what my mother said was right, but it was also difficult. This is not a cold that can be cured after taking the medicine. It is the most regrettable thing to ask for nothing.
There were people outside the blasting line. When the movie theater collapsed, some people closed their eyes and some people were smiling. Inexperienced children rushed in to play and chase, while adults who had witnessed the rise and fall of the theater were thoughtful and shed tears. It is the vicissitudes of life that no one else has experienced. It is the life and yearning of a generation, the love for movies, and the memories of the past. As simple as that madman, this square is still his.
At the end of the film, the big director puts up the gift that the old man left him in the brand-new theater, but it was the intimacy scene that was cut out. Light and shadow interlaced, scene after scene, flashing in the dark room. Those I have never let you see, I believe you are mature enough, and the future changes, please face it bravely.
