Chapter 1331 The Continuous Stream
Quietly, Blair just stared at the big screen, intently, fearing to miss any detail.
She was curious and looking forward to how the story would end.
However, no.
Nothing.
There are no long speeches, no fanfare, no chicken soup for the soul, no enlightening quotes, and even no pulling and pulling, nothing.
He said, OK.
She also said, OK.
The thing is that simple.
If you love it, you will love it. If you don’t love it, you will not love it. There are so many complicated things.
Maybe, they will make the same mistake again, step into the same river again, and end up hurting each other in the end. There is no saying that one learns from each other and learns from each other.
Perhaps, they will fall into the same reincarnation again and again, like hamsters trapped in a cage, running as hard as they can but still staying in place.
so what?
Refusing to start because of fear of getting hurt, refusing to face because of fear of admitting——
Isn't this exactly what Joel is most ashamed of and regrets about? Isn't this exactly the secret that Joel has been hiding in the villa?
This time, however, Joel didn't let go.
Even though he didn't know the reason or why, he just didn't want Clementine to leave. Even the story of the villa has been completely erased from his memory, but when the familiar plot happened again, Joel finally began to take steps to make changes.
Everything seems to be unchanged and exactly the same; but in fact, the details are quietly changing.
On the big screen, Joel and Clementine didn't know what was happening in their memories, and the smiles on their lips rose lightly.
Outside the big screen, the audience clearly knew what happened. At this moment, tears filled their eyes uncontrollably, and the corners of their mouths also rose.
The scene turned to Joel and Clementine running and chasing each other on the snowy Montauk beach. They were playing and playing in the calf-deep snow, like children who had not grown up, having a carefree snowball fight. As if this is the happiest and happiest thing in the world, the smile is completely blooming.
The melody sounded.
Melodious and sad, although not heartbreakingly heavy, you can still feel the mist of sadness in the bitter humming of the vicissitudes of life. The whole world is soaked in the blue of sadness; this makes their laughter and slapstick even more out of place. When I got up, the biting coldness of the ice and snow penetrated the screen and penetrated along the skin and into the blood bit by bit.
The boiling and disturbing thoughts slowly settled down.
The movie is over.
Just like it started haphazardly, it ended when the audience was completely unprepared, bringing the film to a final conclusion.
But calm down and think about it carefully. The story has been told, so there is no need to continue humming, right?
However, the scene at the Angelica Cinema Center remained peaceful.
There was no movement or sound. The entire audience sat quietly in place, letting their thoughts spread. Even the audience standing or sitting around the seats did not move. They all remained the same, obediently watching the subtitles appear, until now. Only then did they finally have time to think.
Charlie Kaufman, always.
Not only is it wildly imaginative, but the amount of information is so huge that it doesn't give the audience any time to breathe, and it is stuffed into the audience's minds one after another - and finally, it explodes.
Movies, are they really that simple?
Is the movie just a love story? Just a love story between Joel and Clementine?
When I think about it carefully, my thoughts are raging. There is no idle word in the whole movie. The seemingly simple story is actually all-encompassing, and the amount of information is far beyond imagination.
When the subtitles appeared, they were finally able to take a breath amid the gentle and bitter melody.
Watching movies in the dim light of the big screen is like a window from reality to the movie world. Although the movie has come to an end, they still leave a trace of their thoughts on the big screen, in that world full of imagination. In a world of possibilities but completely in line with reality, let yourself float up and down.
Everyone has their own perspective, everyone has their own interpretation.
Perhaps, the only thing that is certain is that, apart from the two protagonists Joel and Clementine, every character and every storyline is worthy of scrutiny and can withstand scrutiny.
Dr. Howard and Mary.
A "student" who admires authority. This student may be a girl like Mary, or occasionally a young and ignorant boy. He looks up to those authoritative beings. Their knowledge, power, status, expertise, etc. far exceed money and appearance. attraction brought about by superficial conditions.
As a result, students like Mary flew into flames, burning themselves to pieces again and again.
Dr. Howard seems to be refusing, but he is always willing to refuse and welcome both. Under his seemingly authoritative appearance, he is actually an immature child - the doctor doesn't know how to explain his reaction in front of Stan. It can be seen that they are just trying to draw the energy they need from those admiring eyes.

Does Dr. Howard really "love" Mary?
not necessarily.
Rather than saying it is love, it is better to say that he is enjoying Mary's gaze that pays undivided attention to him, enjoying Mary's gaze that completely respects him and even worships him. His pride and self-esteem are unprecedentedly satisfied in such a gaze.
And then, longing for more, for more, because that was what he was missing at home and in his own life.
There is no doubt that this love story is the branch line that spends the most time describing in the movie. It forms an intertextual relationship with Joel and Clementine because Mary deleted her memory but still stepped into the same river and made the same mistakes again, not only making herself embarrassed again. , and was heartbroken again, and finally ran away in embarrassment.
The most important thing is that Charlie Kaufman completed the point through the relationship between Mary and Dr. Howard.
In Joel's apartment, after Stan left, Mary kept trying to impress Dr. Howard by gushing about herself.
Among them is a poem by Alexander Pope.
"The pure and kind are so happy, the world forgets, the world forgets, the eternal sunshine of the beautiful soul, prayers answered, wishes come true."
To put it simply, point to the topic.
Charlie Kaufman did not choose Joel and Clementine, but chose Mary to explain his point of view, which is undoubtedly another surprise:
People always yearn for perfection, which symbolizes eternity, perfection represents indestructibility, and perfection represents the fulfillment of one's wishes; however, reality is often not the case.
Mistakes, regrets, injuries, and incompleteness are the normal conditions of life.
People can choose to escape, people can choose to forget, but people still make the same mistakes again and again and fall into the rut of their own character flaws.
To a certain extent, the ending of Mary and Dr. Howard is the reality that Charlie Kaufman believes.
In the movie, Charlie Kaufman outlines the entire relationship with only a few strokes, and echoes Joel and Clementine. This control and layout of the pen is worthy of the name of a genius.
