Chapter 35 The First Touch of the Movie
Every moviemaker grows up watching movies, without exception!
Spielberg was very moved. Someone actually relocated movies such as "The Hard Rice", "The Unlawful", and "Girlfriend Friday" in the movie!
Born in 1946, Spielberg can be said to have grown up watching these movies!
These things carry his initial touch on the movie.
Movies are very charming!
There has never been an art form that combines so many traditional arts together and enters the lives of all classes and groups in a less aloof manner.
The movie gives everyone the opportunity to enjoy the highest level of fun in the world without any threshold for a few hours, temporarily forget yourself, experience another completely different life, and gain the extreme shock of the kidneys and hearts!
We can say many lines from movies with just one mouth, such as 'Life is like a box of chocolate, and the results are often unexpected'
‘When you were young, you always thought you could meet many people. Then you realized that the so-called opportunity was actually just a few times.’
‘ohaptain,myaptain!’
‘Let your friends underestimate your strengths and your enemies overestimate your weaknesses.’
‘Be closer to your friend, but closer to your enemies so that you can understand him better.’…
Too many!
Why?
Because we love movies from the heart!
So, we hate "Tiny Times" very much, and the flood of money-making movies like "Gardenia Bloom"...
Because we know that this kind of thing is not worthy of calling it a movie!
This kind of thing is called sentiment!
...
"No, Duoduo, you can't take a break from school. Being a projectionist is not something you should do in your life. One day you should do something else, those things are much more important than now!"
Everet put his hand on Xiao Duoduo's face and took it away. Duoduo had grown up.
Jeremy Ivan has appeared, our Duoduo has grown up!
He tried to shoot things with a camera.
Then, he ushered in his first love, uh, it should be said that he had a crush on him, falling in love with the banker's daughter Elena.
Everte is not optimistic about this relationship.
To mention, the international version of "Paradise Cinema" we can see now deleted many scenes, and not much of the pen focused on how Duoduo pursued Elena's story.
At the film festival, Xu Hui still used the 127-minute international version, and the two versions of 155-minute and 177-minute, the narrative was too long and there was no 'Paradise Cinema' at all...
On the beach, Everte told Duoduo, 'Life is not a movie, life is much more difficult than movies', and the story of the guard and the princess.' The king's guard fell in love with the princess deeply. Later, he finally had the opportunity to confess to the princess. The princess told the guard that if he could stay under the princess' balcony for a hundred days and nights in a row, the princess would promise him. 10 days and 20 days, no matter the wind and rain, the mosquito bites the guards, they insisted on waiting under the princess' balcony. On the 90th day, the guards became weak and pale, all this was in the eyes of the princess. But on the 99th day, the soldier left...'
"Don't ask me what it means, you figure it out and tell me..."
The young man Duoduo doesn’t understand, but in fact, many viewers who watch movies for the first time don’t understand.
But now it should be clear what the story is about: the soldier used 99 days to prove love, and the last day showed his dignity...
The guard took 99 steps, leaving 1 step for the princess. If the princess cannot take this step, it means that the princess is completely unfeeling of the guard, and touching is never exchanged for love. The importance of this step is self-evident.
Lu Sihao once said: When you give too much, you can't extricate yourself. What you can't let go is no longer the person you like, but the self who silently gives. When you marvel at your efforts, the person you fall in love with is actually just the self at that time. In the end, in this one-man show, the only person who is moved is yourself.
Everte knew that Duoduo was very talented and had a bright future. Staying in this town would only delay your life. After staying for a long time, you would feel that this is the whole world.
Duoduo didn't understand what this meant. He began to pursue Elena, and finally moved her. The two of them hugged and kissed each other...
Then there are common scenes, the heroine's family is crazy about opposition...
After all, there is a class gap, Duoduo is just a projectionist, and Elena is the daughter of a banker...
Duoduo went to serve in the military, while Elena went to Paris.
The camera switched again, Duoduo was in the barracks, only his mother's letter...
Many people think that he has broken up when they see this, and Duoduo himself thinks so too.
After the military service, Duoduo returned to the town, things changed, and Everett told Duoduo, "Don't stay here, go to Rome!"
‘Go out and go out, don’t come back before I die, don’t call, don’t write. I don’t want to talk to you here, I want to listen to others talking about you! Don’t give up because of homesickness, forget about us, work hard, just like when you were a child... If you didn’t achieve, don’t come back!’
The train left and gradually moved away...
Thirty years later, Duoduo, who was already a famous director, returned to the village.
By the way, Matt Dai Meng finally appeared...
...
When my mother went to open the door, she forgot to put down the wool in her arms because of her anxiety. When the thread was pulled, the needle fell to the ground with a "ding bell", which made people feel tight. Then, on the sweater that had been knitted on the chair, the wool was pulled apart in circles. After the wool finally stopped, the mother called "Duoduo" softly from the downstairs.
Thirty years!
In the shot of yarns being pulled apart, everyone can feel the loneliness of mothers over the years and their eagerness at this moment. They can imagine that no matter how far they go, the child will always be the thread that the mother is holding in her arms...
In fact, "Cinema Paradise" tells a very small story, just a confession of a film worker...
Of course, there are three characters throughout: the relationship between Duoduo and his mother and sister; Duoduo and Elena's relationship; Duoduo and Everdo's age-lost friendship connects Duoduo's indissoluble bond with the movie.
The role of mother is very full:
She told Duoduo that every time she called him, different women were answering. She understood that if her son either had not met the person he loved, or had a connection with his heart;
She told Duoduo that she had only loved one man in her life, that is Duoduo's father, so she could understand Duoduo's mood;
She told Duoduo that before he served in the military, when he was in love with Elena, every night, she would leave the door and lie on the bed and listen to the movements outside the house; when Duoduo returned home, she would quietly get up and lock the door;
She told Duoduo that after he became a projectionist in the town, she couldn't fall asleep every night. She would always put a key in the keyhole. She was afraid that she would suddenly fall asleep, and she was afraid that her son would not be able to enter the house.
Duoduo listened to his mother's nagging silently, but he never knew: it turned out that his mother had always cared about him so much.
Duoduo walked into the deserted Averte's simple hut: the wall was stills of his movies, and the table was his photos... Averte's wife told Duoduo that until her death, Averte was still thinking about him.
In the 100th minute, Elena, who was already fifty years old, appeared, and the two finally solved the previous mystery.
It was Everte's obstruction!
He lied to Elena and said Duoduo had given up on this relationship...
Duoduo rushed to the Paradise Cinema like crazy, and in the screening room, in the dust and mess, he looked for the note that Elena left him. The note said: She will love him forever.
Things are right, people change.
At Everte's house, his wife gave Duoduo a box of film. She said that Everte asked her to hand it over to him before she died. She didn't know what was recorded in the film.
Duoduo called Elena again, and he wanted her to go to Rome with him.
Elena replied that everything was over. Embracing each other tightly last night was just a beautiful dream. She was satisfied with such a beautiful dream. She told Duoduo that she had been paying attention to his achievements, that she watched every movie he made, that she listened to all the news about him. But everything was over.
The square was once again filled with people. The Paradise Cinema collapsed in the explosion.
(In the 155-minute director's editing version, there is a one-night passion, which Xu Hui decisively abandons... It's too destructive to the beauty. Perhaps Italians think that they can just go casually after getting married...)
With the explosion, Duoduo couldn't help but tremble;
The era of Paradise Cinema is over!
Duoduo, who returned to Rome, immediately fell into a busy life.
His secretary informed him of the award, and Duoduo was indifferent. He handed the film left by Everte to the projectionist for him to play, and then he walked into the review room.
The lights were off, and the film slowly turned on the projector. Scenes of scenes that were passed away by the old priest followed one after another: he kissed her; he kissed her; she kissed him; she kissed her again; she suddenly tore her clothes in front of the camera, revealing the beautiful Noko...
Duoduo smiled with tears in the darkness, in the interweaving of light and shadow.
Chapter completed!
