Chapter 1333 It’s hard to extricate yourself
"Warmth contains light", is it a tragedy?
Maybe.
However, it is not because of the turmoil between Joel and Clementine, but because of the subplots and supporting characters surrounding the two protagonists.
In them, we can see the pessimism of Charlie Kaufman. This pessimism is not a simple tragedy, such as life, death, or tears. It is not an injury that appears on the surface; it is a kind of rejection that goes deep into the bone marrow. and doubt, he is questioning the existence of perfect love.
At the same time, it is not just love, it is a relationship, a kind of intimacy, a kind of family, a kind of perfect life. When the passion and novelty subside, the trivial daily life of tea, rice, oil and salt begins to invade, and the reality of our lives gradually It was revealed and finally evolved into a pile of chicken feathers.
But is "warmth and light within" just a tragedy?
But not necessarily.
Not only because Charlie Kaufman gave Joel and Clementine a happy ending; but also because of the attitude conveyed throughout the movie:
Regardless of whether Mary, Joel or Clementine had their memories deleted, they still fell in love with the same people in the end. Like a curse, they were always attracted to the same people and experienced the same things again and again. encounter.
What if this isn't love?
So, is Charlie Kaufman giving Joel and Clementine a positive ending just for the sake of the movie box office, or does he still have a glimmer of hope for love?
Most likely, it should be the latter.
After all, Charlie Kaufman has never worried about box office performance, and he doesn't have to deliberately write a happy ending for the sake of box office.
In other words, it can be understood that Charlie Kaufman himself does not have a clear answer. This film is more like an exploration, a research, and an adventure. This creative gesture is undoubtedly admirable.
All kinds of things are surging in my mind.
Sitting in front of the big screen, everyone can find their own place and story in the story. This group portrait of modern love life can easily awaken the audience's memory and set off a storm——
Can't be quiet at all.
Although the movie has ended, the roaring tsunami in my mind at this moment has just begun.
The entire audience was involved in this storm with every breath, until all the subtitles ended, the lights on the big screen went out, and the Angelica Film Center briefly fell into darkness.
It is not complete darkness. The lights of Manhattan at night seep in from all directions, and the world is filled with a jade color, allowing the audience to take a short breath, get rid of their own thoughts, and carefully feel the excitement and waves of the heart.
Blood is burning.
Then, the lights came on, and the darkness slowly receded like a wave.
At this moment, I could no longer control myself, so I stood up and clapped my hands. The collision of my palms released all the emotions in my chest.
Bang bang bang, bang bang bang.
Climbing up!
Finally, Blair broke free from his thoughts and looked around in shock, looking at the figures standing up one after another around him——
So touching. So boiling.
Tears were shining in his eyes, but he couldn't control the curve of his mouth.
A rolling heat wave spreads out.
Blair is still young. She has never experienced unforgettable love, let alone a painful breakup and a caged marriage. She cannot understand the vicissitudes and bitterness in the movie. She can only vaguely feel the relationship between Joel and Joel. Clementine's struggle, loving each other deeply but hurting each other, trying to let go but finding it difficult to give up, and the confusion and relief between looking at each other and smiling at the end were enough to make her trapped in thoughts and unable to extricate herself.
Looking at the scene in front of me at this moment, in confusion, a hot emotion surged in my chest. Turning around, Blair saw Karen covering her face and crying.
Blair was startled, "Karen, are you okay?"
Karen shook her head, but then nodded. Her slightly trembling shoulders seemed unable to bear the pressure. Finally, she raised her head and looked at Blair, smiling through her tears.
Karen looked at Blair, who was full of astonishment, and shook her head, "I just... can't control myself."
"They are still together after all, right?"
Blair was stunned and nodded slowly.
Karen didn't think much about it. The smile on her lips blossomed completely. She ignored Blair and stood up. She clapped her hands and joined the crowd.
Blair let out a breath, and the image of Joel and Clementine smiling at each other inexplicably appeared in his mind, and his mood was still high.
She knew that the story was not that simple, and the ending might even represent another beginning; but at least, the movie set off a storm in their minds, which was a huge success.
Suddenly, Blair stood up and clapped his hands vigorously.
Applause surged from all directions, and finally converged and collided together, firmly condensing into a rope, bursting out with incredible power.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
One after another, the audience watching the movie at strange angles in the surrounding high-rise buildings finally came to their senses and joined the ranks one after another.
The wave of sound continued to rise in a spiral manner, colliding with the surrounding high-rise buildings, stirring and reverberating, and the layers of echoes continued to merge into the applause, interweaving and overlapping, bursting out with magnificent momentum.
Vast and endless.
Roaring, stirring.
The scene here can be vaguely seen from the vehicles coming and going on both sides. The dark crowd is erupting with overwhelming energy, and the heat wave hitting the face makes the heartbeats of onlookers begin to accelerate.
Curiosity is quietly ignited.
No one expected that the Angelica Film Center would unexpectedly become the center of the spotlight in Manhattan, and the ripples are continuing to spread.
But the Angelica Film Center had no intention of paying attention to passers-by at this moment. The applause continued to rise incredibly, and the audience was all caught up in this frenzy. The power of clapping their hands became more and more violent and crazy.
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!
Blair looked at the continuous heat wave in front of him with joy. No words were needed. Every cell in his body could feel the enthusiasm and passion contained in it. This was more direct and more impactful than any praise or news headline. ：
"Warmth contains light", successful!
Despite the tremendous pressure, despite all the controversies, and despite the many factors, Anson once again continued his strength with a solid and steady pace——
After "The Butterfly Effect" and "Elephant", Anson completed a beautiful three-hit series outside of genre movies. It is not a box office movie and a non-award season work, but it is still able to set off a heat wave in its own way and in its own way. In the Vase Label In addition, he uses practical actions to show his understanding and pursuit of actors, and builds a new image step by step.
Just when everyone is complaining that Anson may be tied to Peter Parker, there is no need to wait until "Spider-Man 2" is released. Anson has proven with practical actions that he is more important than a character, a superhero, and a comic book.
Blair can't wait to see the frustrated faces of those haters.
Thinking of this, Blair's action of clapping his palms became even more excited and enthusiastic.
