As the Lantern Festival comes to an end on the 15th day of the first lunar month, domestic movies during the Spring Festival have also quietly faded away like the taste of 2024. The box office trends of several movies are basically finalized: Jia Ling 's " Hot Hot " leads the way, Zhang Yimou's "Article 20" has great stamina, and Han Han's " Speeding Life 2" is also considered popular. I have watched these three movies, so what should I watch next?
I clicked on the Baidu disk, and a certain movie star recommended the American love movie "The Light Within", directed by Michel Gondry, starring Jim Carrey/Kate Winslet. Listening to the title, it’s so heartwarming. I watched it and, alas, I was so disappointed. Except for the famous heroine Winslet, who made me overjoyed, I found the plot very confusing and even ridiculous. Noisy, nagging, confused. The hero and heroine keep chasing each other, what are they doing? If the heroine hadn't starred in blockbusters such as "Titanic" and "East Side Nightmare" and was a prestigious Oscar winner, I would have been a fan of her for many years and would have really wanted to run away halfway.
Well, whether you like it or be disappointed, you have to tell me why.
"Nuan Nuan Contains Light" tells an old-fashioned love story. The honest and introverted Joel Barris (played by Jim Carrey) wakes up, kicks off the quilt and goes to work. When I got downstairs, I saw that my car had been scratched, and I felt very unhappy. He had a sudden idea to skip work today and take the train to Montauk to see the sea.
On the beach of Montauk, a single big boy liked to look at beautiful women. He was a little shy. At this time, a beautiful woman with green hair and an orange sweatshirt took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him. It turns out that she is Clementine (played by Kate Winslet) who he met on the train before with a dreamy hairstyle she called "blue ruins". This was the second time they met.
However, the beautiful Clementine has completely forgotten him. That day they went skating together and watched the stars on the ice stall. Everything was so romantic. He drove her home, she said she was tired, and then she went upstairs, and then, nothing happened.
He went to the bookstore where she worked to find her, and she kissed another man in front of him, making a loud kiss. He was inexplicable and angry. How could you do this to me?
The first 17 minutes of the film, or the "introduction", just plainly tells the origin of an accidental acquaintance.
The movie is jumpy. There are no sequential shots to show the ritual of Joel and Clementine entering into marriage. Only the flashback shots show that they are in love, and then there are Fragments of life together under several roofs. We can imagine that they made a lifelong commitment at the train station or on the beach, and then got together.
It is said that the long life together between husband and wife is the true test of love. You see, these two people actually have different personalities: Joel is rational, introverted, quiet and unsociable. He usually likes to stay at home, sometimes sleeping and sometimes meditating; while the beautiful Clementine is extroverted, passionate and impulsive, and she often goes out drinking and partying. She didn't get home until early in the morning and fell drunk next to her husband. She asked Joel to chat with her, but Joel was already very disapproving of her hangover behavior.
One day Joel expressed his dissatisfaction, and Clementine jumped up and said, "You are from the 1950s, you probably think I have slept with someone else?" They exchanged words and broke up on bad terms many times. Then this impulsive beauty went to the Blank Memory Clinic for memory erasure surgery. She has become a new self, in other words, her memory has deleted Joel.
Keyueer didn't know how his wife could be intimate with others in front of him. He even went to buy a gift after the quarrel that day. He thought that Valentine's Day was coming soon, so he took the initiative to reconcile. As a result, people treated him like a stranger and asked him, "Do you have a book you want to buy?"
Joel stamped his feet and beat his chest in the car. He was a grown man and cried bitterly. Why did the lover who was so glued to his knees before suddenly change his style and become a stranger with him. He came to a friend's house to complain about his troubles, and the friend gave him an advertisement for a memory erasure clinic. He went to the clinic. The lady at the front desk in pink clothes seemed to be very busy and had a stack of requests for help in her hand.
It was finally his turn. Dr. Howard (played by Tom Wilkinson) told him, clean up all the information about your wife at home, including photos and belongings. We will send someone to your house to help you clear out all your and her belongings. memory. He also comforted him that the surgery would not cause any harm to the body, and it would only be a hangover at most. After the treatment is completed, you will be a new you, don't worry.
The technician named Patrick (played by Mark Ruffalo) came to the door. He took out the various gifts that Joel had given to Clementine and placed them on the table, synchronizing with his brain waves in the computer and starting to delete them. It was over, it was over, he was back to the time of his first love, and the feeling of heartbeat flashed back before his eyes and in his mind. He saw his other self and Clementine laughing happily. He suddenly had a feeling, "Love is so beautiful, I want to stay there!" He opened his eyes hard...
He also saw his wife and Patrick being ambiguously affectionate, and he was very angry. The machine malfunctioned and Joel fell outside the line. He interrupted the process of clearing his memory for a while and was in a daze unable to understand these unexpected situations.
It turns out that this is a science fiction brain-burning film, please don't laugh at my slow thinking. The epic romance I was looking forward to didn't appear, but I saw the male and female protagonists eating, drinking, and counting the stars on Bingzhezi Beach for a romantic moment. In the meantime, technician Patrick was pursuing Clementine. He gave Clementine the wood-carved heart necklace that Joel bought. The latter liked it very much, but her face looked strange. Because it was bought by Joel. He wanted to please his wife at that time, but before he could give it away, his wife had a memory-erasing operation.
It's very confusing and confusing. While Joel was undergoing removal surgery, the line shorted out and he ran outside the line. There was a time when he recalled the scene when he was bullied by his friends in the same year. They forced him to kill an injured bird. He was so frightened that he hid under the table. It was the sister Clementine who saved him. Ouch, I really admire the director's wild imagination. This scene tells us that Joel has a traumatic experience of being persecuted in childhood, so he is sometimes sensitive, timid and timid when dealing with others. The message
movie wants to tell seems too complicated. In addition, it was also arranged that the attending doctor Howard and his assistant Mary (played by Deirdre O'Connell) came to each other because of poetry, and they kissed each other. This scene happened to be the doctor's wife coming to pick up her husband home, and the car outside the window If we bump into each other, it would be as embarrassing as it is. The doctor and assistant hurriedly apologized to his wife. In fact, the assistant had really fallen in love with the doctor a long time ago. She was afraid that she would do something stupid, so she had her memory deleted. What's the matter?
The accurate definition of "Warm and Bright" is a brain-burning romantic literary film, a chance encounter on the train, a chase under the stars on the beach, and a proper romantic blockbuster about love imagination. It's a pity that love is too beautiful, too dreamy and too short-lived. When the beautiful heroine and the introverted handsome man meet, they are not ready to enter the marriage of two people. They fall in love and kill each other. Sometimes they are lingering, sometimes they are at war with each other. .
technology has developed, memory deletion companies have appeared, and so many people are queuing up to request the deletion of sweet memories with their lovers and lovers. The audience saw the pain and helplessness on the faces of those involved. It seems that love, marriage and emotional issues are a global problem. In American movies, we see people flocking to get rid of past emotional entanglements and want to use high technology to delete all old loves and hatreds and live a new life.
In my opinion, this high-tech deletion company is too awesome. Theoretically speaking, with the development of human science and technology, it is not necessarily impossible that one day in the future, science fiction scenes in movies will not appear in reality.However, do you agree with such deletion? What I mean is that the situation is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. If you delete the original memory, for example, you may have such a deep fate and come together again. Can you guarantee that old love, old love and old hatred will not happen again? Is it possible that you are confused and can’t go on anymore, so you need to use a deletion company to delete it again?
I’m afraid we should improve modern people’s ability to manage love and marriage. I think there are three points that need to be fully understood:
1. It is easy to fall in love but difficult to get along with each other. This is a constant rule. Both parties must improve the art of love and the wisdom of getting along.
2. Marriage is not only a matter between two people, it is also a tie between two families. It is necessary to handle the differences between the two families and seek common ground while reserving minor differences.
3. Choose what you love and love what you choose. Is there any problem with this?
Also don’t forget the complexity of human nature, such as the problem of liking the new and hating the old. Philosophical writer Mr. Zhou Guoping has long said on this point that "ten thousand romantic affairs are not as good as the love between husband and wife." Think about those romantic relationships. When you get old and sick, will it be your spouse, close relative or lover who will serve you heart and soul by your bedside?
Of course, I still have some unpleasant conjectures: Is it possible that there is some kind of "wrong love" love and marriage convention? Should we decisively "stop the loss" and let the one with a pathological personality "out"? Protect yourself as much as possible. Such as the horrific murder of a Silicon Valley man who killed his wife. Dear friends, as I write this, I suddenly have a terrible thought: It is important to escape! Stay away from controlling and extreme personality rubbish.
Okay, I'm going too far. This article is a film review of "Nuan Nuan Contains Light", which is not a marriage and love guide.
Finally, I want to say that the movie "Warm and Bright" wants to tell the audience: love is beautiful, please don't give up easily, you two meet and attract each other among millions of people, it takes five hundred times to look back. Please cherish the fate you have. None of us can completely forget, so we might as well learn to get along with sad memories and pursue love bravely.
