I only noticed the old couple in the front row at the beginning of the movie.
The film released is "Gentle Mercy", although the slides to be released have been typed, there are still many people with plum drinks and the like.
I didn't feel special when I heard the girl's voice, she said, "Is your ticket number 31?"
The cinema's seats are separated by an aisle between 29 and 30, and if a couple of lovers are separated by the aisle into cowherd weavers, it is really unlucky.
I felt particularly like the answer I heard, an old female voice sounded very slowly and gracefully: "I'm really sorry comrade, we... It's not easy to come once... We want to sit together, can we switch with you, over there, number 29?"
I noticed that sitting in the front row was an old couple, their hair as silver as snow in the glimmer of light. When the old gentleman turned to his side, I saw that there was a flower in the chest pocket of his old suit.
Perhaps, for these two elderly people who are more than a year old, today is a commemorative day. Pulling out the old suit from under the suitcase and cutting a rich flower from the carefully cultivated bonsai is to solemnly walk back to yesterday.
Perhaps, today is just the most ordinary day, they support each other, braving the rain and snow, just to avoid the eyes of their children and grandchildren, two people sit in the movie theater to re-experience the warmth of the world of two people.
The girl smiled and said "Okay" and sat down on the side of the passage.
When Mike in the film holds the guitar and sings the first song, a handsome young man with a large number of snacks comes over. I noticed that the girl sitting at number 29 reached out and grabbed him and said something softly. The young man glanced at the old couple, piled the food on her lap, kissed her quite naturally, and then walked calmly over—obviously a beautiful and lovely couple.
The old couple was unaware, and they leaned intimately together, staring at the screen.
The fields of the American West began to appear on the screen. Between the high blue sky and the endless wilderness, the hero and heroine are cultivating a small piece of gardenland.
The hero asks, "Want to get married?"
The heroine replied, "I think so." ”
And asked, "Is it okay to marry me?"
Answer: "Yes."
Touched by the purity, truth, and beauty of human feelings after such a bland and unpretentious, the old gentleman in the front row also had a brief conversation with the old woman from time to time:
"They're growing vegetables." The old gentleman said.
"Yeah. What dish? ”
"I don't know yet."
“……”
"There's a tree there."
"What tree"
"It's similar to the one in our yard."
Such a language, which seems to be extremely plain on the surface, suddenly has another meaning, as if it is reminding of something, reminding to share every bit of sadness and joy, every bit of nature, every bit of memory.
It was quiet in the cinema. The old couple probably had a loud voice because of the back of their ears, but it was not annoying. This chatty conversation brings a gentle mood that cannot but be silent.
On the screen, Mike is singing an affectionate song.
Mike's ex-wife insulted him and wouldn't let him see her daughter.
Mike regrouped and sang successfully...
Mike no longer had the glory, the money, the luxurious home and his daughter, but he had something better—a home, tender emotions, a small vegetable patch.
I heard the old gentleman say to the old woman, "There is a small vegetable garden, only five or six ridges, and there is a scarecrow, dressed in the torn clothes of the hostess, wearing the broken hat of the hostess, and its posture is as if it is about to fly into the sky." ”
The old woman said, "How beautiful is that, a small vegetable patch, and a scarecrow... If only I could see it. ”
The old gentleman said eagerly, "You can't see, but I can see... Now, Mike stopped. ”
In an instant, I suddenly realized: It turns out that the old woman is a blind person! No wonder the old gentleman had to explain like this all the time, no wonder the two heads were so close together! It is such a force that makes them stand by to "see" such a movie for life!
Mike on screen said, "I never believed there was such a thing as happiness. ”
Mike, you are wrong, happiness is not fame and fortune, happiness is the gentle and unchanging emotion. You are actually living in happiness, just in that kind of sunshine and land, at the moment when the scarecrow holding a branch obliquely was blown up by the wind, God's gentle mercy has quietly come.
The lights were on, and when the lights came on, I was already in tears.
The old gentleman stood up, his hands trembling slightly, and wrapped a scarf around his wife; he wrapped it up, looked at it from side to side, and then pulled it straight, seriously and thoughtfully like a groom who arranged the bride's wedding dress.
The old woman put her hand in her husband's hand and walked peacefully with him outward. Years ago, she also stepped safely on the red carpet.
The beautiful couple followed, the girl's hand in the hands of the young man. It was out of tacit understanding that the two suddenly looked at each other and smiled.
Who else can say that there is no happiness in this world?
