Chapter 1318 Role Reversal
In the era of social networks, emoticons are popular all over the world. There is a little boy who looks awkward no matter what expression he makes. He fully interprets the "awkward yet polite" attitude of the new era and is called the master of emoticons.
In front of him, Joel was smiling like this. The corners of his mouth were obviously raised, but his shoulders were contracted and his body was leaning back. His whole body was pressed tightly against the back of the chair and the window, like a mouse forced into a corner. His expression was particularly funny.
This scene has its own sense of joy.
In Hollywood movies, there are countless romantic love genres that emerge in endlessly. After nearly a century, genre movies must spend more effort if they want to continue to impress the audience. After all, each generation of audiences is harder to fool than the next.
This is exactly what is happening in front of you——
Wait, they forgot, this is not a romantic movie!
Back and forth, the two of them discussed the issue of naming hair colors, but Shui Caotou soon became exhausted and curled up on the train seat to replenish energy. Just when people thought she had run out of energy, nothing happened. As a warning, she jumped to her feet again.
"By the way, my name is Clementine."
"I'm Joel."
The water plant head held Joel's right hand, "Hey, Joel." He firmly grasped Joel's right hand meaningfully. Joel tried to get rid of it but failed, "Don't make fun of my name, oh, you shouldn't do that. Yes, you are very polite.”
Joel looked confused, "I don't think your name is funny."
"Huckleberry-Hound."
Joel: ..."I don't know what that means."
On the contrary, the waterweed head was full of surprise, "'Huck Hound', what's the matter with you, are you an idiot?"
Joel shrugged lightly, "Someone said so."
The weedhead - who must have been Clementine - ignored Joel's self-deprecation and began to sing the theme song from the cartoon "Huck Hound".
"Oh dear, oh dear, Clementine, I'm so sorry you are gone forever, Clementine."
"Haven't you heard of it?"
Joel looked at the girl in front of him who was happily singing a children's song and exposing herself. The smile on his lips could not help but slightly rise, but then he realized that this was impolite, so he quickly tightened his lips and controlled himself.
"Sorry," he said, "but it's a nice name. It means kind, right? Kind and generous?"
Clementine put her chin on the back of the chair, keeping her eyes level with Joel, and deliberately said in a deep voice, "Unfortunately, the name is not worthy of the name. I am a woman who must avenge her revenge."
Joel was stunned and said, "God, I don't think so."
Clementine looked confused, "How could you tell?"
Joel: ..."I don't know, it's just..." Under Clementine's magnanimous gaze, Joel looked away in panic and lowered his head, "I don't know, it's just...you look very nice." Nice.”
Clementine couldn't believe it and was furious without warning, "Oh, I'm fine now? God, don't you know other adjectives?"
Because when they first talked about hair color, Joel once rejected Clementine's imagination, and the conversation became slightly awkward. For this reason, Joel said solemnly, "I was just trying to be nice." After turning around, the conversation started. Embarrassed for the second time, Joel used the same adjective again.
Clementine simply left her seat and sat down next to Joel.
"I don't want to be a good person. I don't want to be a good person, and I don't need others to be nice to me."
Clementine raised her voice, which made Joel at a loss. He tried to say something and looked around for fear of disturbing other people in the car, but in the end he just nodded lightly, "I know." The voice was almost audible. Less than.
Gulu, Gulu, there is only the sound of train wheels hitting the rails.
"Joel?" Finally, it was Clementine who broke the silence, "Joel, right?"
Joel: ..."Yes."
Clementine, "I'm sorry I just yelled at you, I'm in a bad mood today."
There was silence, and Clementine let out a heavy breath.
Joel huddled in the corner, his eyes falling on Clementine's shoulder, trying to give some comfort. He wanted to say that he was also in a bad mood today. But in the end, his eyes turned away, and he turned his head to look out of the car window in a concealed manner, his side face bathed in the sunshine that finally exposed his cheeks in the early morning.
But unexpectedly, Clementine... attacked.
She approached Joel directly, the two of them sat side by side, and put her left hand on the back of the chair, crossing Joel's back.
Joel became nervous and pressed his whole back against the window and the car. He tried to retreat, but found that he had no way to escape.
Such a scene is so joyful.
But Clementine continued on by herself, "I must admit something embarrassing. I like you very much and you are very nice. At this moment..." She didn't realize that Joel was at a loss what to do, with his eyes, hands, and legs. , I don’t know how to place my body, “I don’t know what I will think next moment, but at this moment, I am very glad that you are a very nice person.”
Joel: Awkward yet polite smile.
Clementine got no answer, just an awkward but polite smile, and she laughed out loud herself.
Joel took a deep breath, "I, uh, I have something, uh, something that needs to be dealt with."
Words, intermittent, fragmented——
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The camera focuses on Joel's face, a close-up, and then you can see something breaking into focus on the left side of the camera frame. On one side of Joel's obviously stiff facial lines, a strand of green hair enters the camera, followed by Clay Mentin watched Joel's face getting closer and closer.
You can almost feel your breath.
Hilarious!
The entire Angelica Cinema Center burst into laughter, with both Blair and Karen tumbling forward and backward.
The beginning of the movie is a bit gloomy and slow, but I never expected that it would unfold like this, reversing the traditional romantic love movie.
Effect, full marks.
Watching Kate Winslet aggressively seduce Anson Wood, the scene is so beautiful that no one knows if there will be a chance to see it in the future.
Rather than the plot, it was the joy conveyed by the body language and eye exchanges of the two actors that made the audience unable to control their laughter.
That look and expression was like an alien approaching its victim.
Clementine finally understood what Joel meant, "Oh, oh! Sorry."
With an embarrassed look on her face, Clementine silently stepped back and distanced herself, sliding to the other end of the chair again. This movement made Joel feel sorry.
Joel was apologizing, but Clementine repeatedly waved her hands to indicate that it was okay, turned around, and hit Joel hard on the shoulder with a powerful punch, comparable to Muhammad Ali.
Joel: Eyes widened, mouth opened, cry of pain silently.
One expression made the Angelica Film Center go crazy and burst into laughter——
In 2001, an unusual Korean film "My Sassy Girl" was released and became a phenomenon. Although the film was not fully released in overseas theaters, it was spread in different countries and regions through DVD release.
So, are Clementine and Joel now on My Sassy Girl?
Looking at Joel's stunned and pitiful expression, the audience was laughing so hard. Wait, is this definitely Charlie Kaufman's creative intention?
But if you think about it seriously, Charlie Kaufman has a label for all his works: comedy.
From this point of view, it doesn't seem so strange.
Clementine was very sensible and did not continue to "entangle" Joel. When Joel arrived at his destination, he left the train alone, and saw that the two people never interacted again. According to the traditional romantic comedy routine, what happened next Next, we have to create another coincidence for them to meet.
However, Charlie Kaufman does not take the usual path——
Joel came out of the train station parking lot and saw the figure with an orange shirt and green hair on the side of the road. He pulled over.
"Hi!"
