Be cautious about multiple pictures, be careful with spoilers!
"The Secret That Cannot Be Said", this is a film written and directed by Jay Chou, which tells the story of Gui Lunmeng in 1979, crossing to 1999 and meeting Jay Chou.
Viewers who have seen it will say that "The Secret That Cannot Be Said" is not "awesome", right? Well, then I'll try to say it a little bit.
First of all, the film "doesn't have a word of crap."
At the beginning of the film, an ancient sheet music appears, with a grand, witty string, revealing a mysterious energy. This score is the source of the crossing, and the whole story arises from it.
Here we go.
This time, I began to explain in detail what I said before, "This movie has no superfluous words."
Here are a few seemingly small talk words, but in fact, they are explaining the background of the characters and laying the groundwork.
"I've heard of you before"
"Oh, really."
"You're majoring in piano, right?"
"Yes"
"Why did you want to come to our school?" Is your school bad?"
"Because your school is more beautiful." No, my dad told me to come."
The beginning of "I heard about it before", followed by the "major piano", in fact, is intended to set off Jay Chou's piano playing very well, so that "I have heard about it for a long time".
This is to pave the way for the plot of the back douqin, if the front does not point out that he plays the piano well, the back "douqin" is too abrupt.
If you shoot a certificate trophy or something, it seems too vulgar. A simple sentence of "I have heard of you before" seems natural and does not show traces, which is a high-grade performance method.
As for why his father wanted him to turn around, he also gave a reasonable explanation later, because his father was a teacher in this school, and naturally wanted to watch his son graduate under his own eyes.
"It was so beautiful"
"This piano room is 100 years old"
"One Hundred Years" (Emphasis on 100 Years)
"Well, but it's going to be demolished on the day of our graduation ceremony."
Here's another clue: the piano room was going to be demolished on graduation day. The reason is that it is already "100 years old" and wants to build a new one.
The emphasis is on the "day" of the graduation ceremony, because of this sentence, there is a plot in which the female protagonist returns to 1999 to meet the male protagonist. Only at the end did Jay Chou venture to play the climax of the piano.
The male protagonist made the god enter the piano room building alone. Pay attention to the faint music behind you, Gui Lun Magnesium has just arrived in 1999.
Here from Jay Chou's entrance to the encounter with Gui Lunmeng, a full minute of footage is given, that is, a minute of Jay Chou's scene in the corridor.
This is actually saying that the next person to meet is a very important person.
Jay Chou and Gui Lun Magnesium first sight. (First sight emphasizes that the first person guilun magnesium sees after crossing back can only see her.) ）
Classes are in.
There is a little bit of fun here, the values in the lower left corner of the blackboard are Fang Wenshan and Huang Junlang.
Gui Lun magnesium entered the classroom. (Due to first sight, no one can see her at this time except Jay Chou)
The teacher was reminding Jay Chou not to look back.
This shot is very powerful, blurring Qingyi, focusing on Gui Lunmeng, making it difficult to detect that they are both laughing.
Others can't see Gui Lun magnesium, so teachers and classmates think that Jay Chou is looking at Qingyi, so Qingyi smiled triumphantly. This shot is very careful, because only by watching it more than a second time can you know the meaning of this laugh.
In order to highlight that the laughter of the two is this meaning, she also photographed a girl in front of her, who did not laugh at all because she knew that Jay Chou was definitely not looking at herself.
"This is a secret that cannot be said" Jay Chou was asking her the name of the song, she did not answer him, and then answered him, the song is indeed called "Secret".
The dialogue in this movie is full of puns, and you will only understand the deep meaning after you understand everything.
Went home.
(Grocery shopping home)
When I saw it before, I was wondering what this plot wanted to express, as if it didn't make any sense.
Think about it carefully to understand that throughout the movie, Jay Chou has been trying to avoid two things:
Substance and sex.
There's no money, sexual innuendo or anything like that in the whole movie. Perhaps Zhou Dong felt that these two things would make love less beautiful.
Back to school.
Autumn students are teaching students.
Gui Lunmeng smiled a little.
Jay Chou called to leave immediately.
Why should Gui Lunmeng laugh when he saw the lessons taught students? Why did Jay Chou, who was chatting well, leave?
It turned out that Gui Lunmeng smiled because he was amused to see Qiusheng 20 years later, and Jay Chou wanted to leave because Qiusheng was his father and did not want his father to see himself with his female classmates. These are also when you read them a second time to appreciate the deep meaning of these two sentences.
Qiu Sheng is also a very important role, and the character is laid out here.
Go for a walk.
"I haven't eaten it", this sentence is said by Gui Lunmeng.
This sentence implies that Gui Lunmeng is not a person from 1999, which is not difficult to understand, but the rare "director Jay Chou" can think of the time when there was no conical ice cream in 1979.
In Taiwan, conical ice cream appeared in the late 1980s, and Cold Stone and Du Laoye, which have a market share of more than half of Taiwan's ice cream market, were founded in 1988.
So this sentence appears very rigorously. They have had life experiences or histories.
And even if GuiLun Magnesium already had ice cream at that time, it did not constitute a hard injury, which can be understood as she did not like to eat snacks.
No, the more I think about it, the more I feel bad.
There is also such a dialogue later.
It is also a hint at the identity of small magnesium. A lifestyle that is incompatible with the personalities around you. (Sorry, this paragraph really doesn't cut a good picture of Guilun Magnesium.) ）
Wonderful Douqin bridge section.
In this paragraph, some people compare it with "The Pianist at Sea" and think that it is plagiarism.
In fact, the two are the same as the douqin, and there is a difference in essence.
"The Sea" is a piano, and you finish coming to me; here are two. "Sea" is the rhythm of the first looking to lose, and finally the Jedi strikes back; here it is a step by step suppression. "The Sea" is a scene without two people working together, and this has.
Can't you say that as long as the piano competition clips, they are all plagiarism, right?
In this section of the douqin, you can hear that Jay Chou's musical skills are really powerful, can be choreographed so well, and the rhythm before and after is also very good. This passage is very good, and even once made me think of learning the piano.

Four-handed combined bullet
A very romantic plot and one of my favorite bridges.
But I think it is not enough to just exaggerate, but to talk about shortcomings. According to Gui Lunmeng, this paragraph was "filmed more than 70 times before and after", and how to edit these 70 times is a very test of editing ability. There is still a flaw here.
Look out for white sleeves:
This is a coherent picture, if you don't pull it down, the outer layer of clothes will not cover the sleeves inside. This is a trace of the clip. But surprisingly, the rest of the place, such as hairstyles, decorations, can not see the flaws. It shows that Jay Chou really cared about this at that time, and there is no perfect thing in the world, and the splicing will always be a little flawed.
Jay Chou came to Gui Lunmeng's home.
An inconspicuous shot is used here, and a middle-aged woman appears.
This seemingly flashing shot is important, and the foreshadowing here is difficult to detect, and even if you look back a few times, you may not see her.
This woman is actually a middle-aged light rain.
Why would I be sure that this is a middle-aged light rain, and not a light rain mother or someone else?
First of all, this is the home of Light Rain.
We also know that Xiaoyu is the only one in the house, her and her mother. Xiaoyu's mother was in her 40s in 1979 and should be 60-70 by now. The women who appear here are not in the 60-70 age group from the form and dress.
Judging from the back shot, this room is a room of light rain, not a neighbor or other people. (Morphology of the tree in front of the window)
How can the light rain in middle age and the light rain in high school appear at the same time? This involves the question of time and space, which will be discussed in detail later.
Light rain asthma, here to give the first explanation. For the culmination of the later tragedy-------- Xiao Yu's death was buried.
Confession, kissing.
The lens used here is very beautiful, it is said that there were many camera positions arranged at that time, almost all 360 degrees, two shots, but in the end only this back was chosen.
Sunset, rattan chairs, benches, seaside, light boats, backlight... There is also the implication of not looking directly at intimate contact.
After the dance, Gui Lunmeng inadvertently learned that this place was about to be demolished, and decided to teach Jay Chou "Secret". Here is the last light rain to cross back, Jay Chou crossed back to lay the groundwork.
"Do you have to play that fast?"
"I'm going back so fast."
Another pun.
Jay Chou thought that "going back" was to go home, but in fact it was going back to 1979. He also specifically instructed not to play this piece in the old piano room.
At this time, Gui Lunmeng's psychology was very complicated, and she specially taught him this song, and did not want him to really go back to her. I just want to make this song that connects you and me as a memorial to each other.
Qingyi's purple bracelet. This is the foreshadowing, said later.
Gui Lunmeng ran away after witnessing Qingyi and Jay Chou kissing. (Jay Chou thought that kissing himself was Gui Lun Magnesium, Gui Lun Magnesium performance is Lu Xiaoyu)
GuiLun Magnesium mom bought apples back.
Here I think it's time to say.
At this time, Xiao Yu was still alive, a middle-aged woman.
First of all, the history here is constantly changing, and the factor that changes is the crossing of light rain.
With each crossing of the light rain, history changes differently.
The appearance of the middle-aged woman in the window before, that is, the middle-aged light rain, refers to the appearance of the history that the light rain changed after that crossing. That is, after kissing Jay Chou on the roof, he went back to the past and never came back, and then the history evolved, studying, graduating, working, and living. A little rain will become like this, a middle-aged woman like this.
If her mother appeared at this time, her mother was also a normal old man, and she would not look confused.
Later, Xiaoyu witnessed Qingyi and Jay Chou kissing, and history changed again, and after she returned, a series of things happened: telling her teacher (that is, Qiusheng) about her experience, being considered mentally ill, unable to stand the ridicule of her classmates and dropping out of school, and her mother becoming nervous because of self-pity and sadness.
So at this time, Xiaoyu, in the case of long-term mental illness, became autistic, because of asthma, often shut herself in the room and did not go out, and because Jay Chou had given her apples and liked to eat apples, so she let her mother buy apples back.
This lens:
What does this perspective mean? Someone looked at Jay Chou through the window.
Who will it be?
Only the road was lightly raining. (As mentioned earlier, there are only "she" and "her mother" in her house)
This shows that Xiao Yu is still alive at this time.
20 years later, when you see your young lover, why not see him, it is worth thinking about the mood of Xiaoyu.
Graduation ceremony after five months:
Light rain appeared at the graduation ceremony.
It can be seen that time has passed, and her hair has grown a lot, because she has been sad for a long time, and she has stayed at home without seeing the light of day, and her face looks miserable.
I walked from the piano room to the graduation hall with my eyes closed, heard the music that Jay Chou dedicated to himself, and opened my eyes. Jay Chou saw her and immediately stopped and ran out to chase her. Then Gui Lunmeng saw the purple bracelet that Qingyi had given him on his hand, thought they were together, and sadly returned to 1979.
From this point on, Jay Chou understood that the original Xiaoyu did not exist, or that he had always been the only one who could see her. At first, I thought it was like "Fight Club", Jay Chou was schizophrenic, and Gui Lunmeng was his fantasy.
Jay Chou returned to the classroom and sat in the seat of the light rain.
See a light rain writing.
Xiao Yu wrote in Li KeBai, which was a conversation between the two of them across time.
The appearance of this plot symbolizes the death of Xiao Yu.
Here, Xiaoyu's mother seemed even more delirious, because by this time Xiaoyu had died in 1979.
Spit on it, why did Zhou Dong here paint so badly.
This is not the point, look closely at the paper used for painting has a faint stave, this sheet is Jay Chou gave her on the roof, Chamy Kafka Saint-Saëns's "LE CYGNE" (swan).
Borrow Qiu Sheng's mouth and cut into the story from the perspective of Xiao Yu.
The plot of the narrative is to the effect that Xiaoyu inadvertently flipped into a piano sheet, then crossed, and then came back to talk to Qiusheng, who thought she was mentally ill, and after the news spread, the whole class knew about it, and could not stand the bullying and dropped out of school.
On the day of the graduation ceremony, she wanted to see Jay Chou for the last time, ran to the school to cross to 1999 to find him, but saw Jay Chou with the bracelet that Qingyi had tied to his hand, thinking that the two of them were together.
So I went back to the old piano room and crossed back to 1979 and sat in the classroom.
This period of crying broke my heart, and I felt my heart pounding one after another.
Light rain asthma attack, medicine did not bring.
The life of The Little Rain came to an end.
Rather, it is the life in this history.
The history of each time period is different, for example, after witnessing Jay Chou and Qingyi kissing, Gui Lunmeng returned to 1979 to talk to Qiu Sheng and handed him the book "secret".
In 1999, before this incident, Qiu Sheng did not have that score.
After telling the story, Qiu Sheng looked back and saw that Jay Chou had already left.
Cigarette butts showed that he was in a hurry.
Zhou Dong risked his life to climb the demolished teaching building, go to the old piano room, and start playing secret.
Follow the notes upon the journey
At first sight marks one's destiny
Once the voyage comes to an end
Return lies within hasty keys
These few words on the first page of the "Secret" score indicate their results:
"Fate is destined at first sight, and when the journey comes to an end, the loop is hidden in a rapid melody."
At the last moment, Jay Chou knocked out the last note and returned to the past.
It was a more past past, to be precise, and he could never go back.
(There is controversy here, and there are views that Jay Chou's last key was smashed without hitting it, so the final ending is fantasy.) But pay attention to look closely, Jay Chou did not hit the iron ball before the finger pressed down for a few seconds, pay attention to the cuff of his right hand, there is a clear vibration. This vibration is the physical feedback given by the reaction force after the finger presses something. That is, the lens is clearly seen that the crossing has been successful)
He had come to the age of light rain, the time before they both met.
Jay Chou pushed open the door.
Xiao Yu smiled kindly but strangely.
Do you remember me?
Still a strange and kind laugh.
Whether you remember me or not, just see you alive.
The previous crossings are all parallel times, such as 12:35 before the crossing, and 12:35 after the past. Just now, when Zhou Dong was playing the piano, it was in the evening, but this time it was in the afternoon, suggesting that this crossing was because Zhou Dong played the piano too fast, or the magic of the last time was relatively large, returning to a time longer ago.
Graduation photo.
Jay Chou and Gui Lun Magnesium are together.
The final ending is interestingly arranged.
Jay Chou put a lot of effort, gave up his father, studies, friends, came to Xiaoyu's side, after meeting, maybe everyone should be happy, happy to jump around and so on, but there is no such arrangement.
The two just looked at each other, Jay Chou made a gesture, and finally put a graduation photo, explaining everything.
Here's a point, why after Jay Chou went back, he could see him not only Xiaoyu himself?
This is because the old piano of 1999 has been destroyed, before the destruction, this piano completed its last time and space travel, after which its magic is also invalidated, Jay Chou can no longer go back to 1999, At first sight makes one's destiny will also fail.
I omitted many parts of this movie, including some dialogue, dialogue is the focus, you can watch it again to understand how much effort is contained in a few simple words of dialogue, and what the pun means.
Bugs are barely found throughout the film, which is very difficult for films with sci-fi elements. The acting skills of Jay Chou and Gui Lunmeng are natural, Jay Chou is because of playing himself, but Gui Lunmeng is a powerful acting skill.
The narrative uses flashbacks, interludes, etc., but it does not appear chaotic at all, the context is very clear, the most rare thing is the current history that guilun magnesium changes after each crossing, and it is very meticulous.
Zhou Dong or his production team has thoroughly studied Hawking's "parallel space" theory.
Especially in the inadvertent details, it can be reflected everywhere.
I don't know how you feel when you watch this movie, but I was always smiling when I watched the first half.
At first, it was strange why I laughed, and laughter should not be only when I heard jokes and was proud, and what was funny about watching others fall in love.
However, one day see the hot love phase, what is the first thing you want to do to meet your boyfriend/girlfriend? This answer, suddenly unspeakably moved.
Every time Gui Lunmeng saw Jay Chou in the film, the first thing she did was laugh.
It's a joy from the heart, and I have an indescribable happiness.
above.
Finally, although the love in this movie is not the state I want, it can always bring me the first touch of love at different times and at different levels.
