(This article was originally produced by Sir Films: dushetv)
February 13, 2019, is a special day.
Because on this day, Sir was "out of his soul".
All along, Sir has had a ridiculous little wish -
I hope to dig a hole from the time of day and drill into it.
It can be a book that pops up at random, a film that pops up in the head, or it can do nothing and let time take its reins.
So on Valentine's Eve (which has nothing to do with me), Sir left work, followed a movie, and went out to France.
Starting from Paris, embark on a more than one-month (brain hole) tour of France.
I have to say that this hole is very healing.
Today is the last stop of the god tour of France.
It is estimated that many people have joined by digging holes in the middle of the way, and as soon as they get on the car, they will not go...
So before embarking on the last day of your journey, let Sir nag a few words.
Don't panic, it's not about selling small gifts or asking you to tip, sir is not a black-hearted tour guide.
For Sir (and for you too), sir movie has a big mission —
Bring you the latest and greatest movies, puncture the hottest and possibly the worst new ones, and let you not step on the thunder.
It's super valuable. It is also sir who does not hesitate to do it for you, has been doing it for 5 years.
But sorry, Sir also has a selfish, wayward side.
Let's call it, my B-side.
What is my B-side thinking?
"He" often thinks —
So many pieces of gossip, why do you have to brush it every day?
Why do we have to discuss the topic of people every day?
There are many good films that vow to collect for a lifetime, lying in the hard disk to accumulate dust, will they never have a chance to mention it to you?
So, do you want to dig a hole like Sir?
Dig out a little bit of private time, look at the world through a good film, and use a very personal perspective.
Because for a lot of movie fans.
Movies are the windows of the earth.
Because of the movie, the earth can be "seen".
This private trumpet (the end of the text that wants to dig a hole together) exists because of this.
I am the dividing line where the last train is about to depart
There is a movie that has been commented on since the first episode in France, and there are people who have been looking forward to it.
It was no longer long, and finally it was its turn.
Students who have seen it, don't miss this article, Sir dug out a lot of behind the scenes for you.
It is, the second of the classic "Love in the Trilogy" -
"Love at Sunset and Dusk"
Before Sunset
It is not because it is bad, but because it is too good.
Fortunately, in different states and at different ages, there are different thoughts.
What makes it particularly interesting, and what can't be replicated, is that:
The trilogy was shot at real intervals.
The male and female protagonists grew old with the film, the first in 1995, Ethan Hawke was 25 and Julie Delpe was 26; in 2004, they were in their 30s; the third was shot in 2013, with Ethan 43 and Julie 44.
Crazy, just like that, a pair of "screen lovers" were followed for 18 years.
As viewers, we are more interesting.
The film spans 18 years, which is enough for us to graduate in love, get married and have children.
Brush again every few years, except for remembering two foreign strangers meeting, YiYi did not want to talk a lot, other plots can not remember.
But looking at them you always think of something, think of them, think of yourself.
And because I have grown up, I have heard many words again, but I feel more resistant to thinking.
Mei Yanfang has an old song, "It seems that the old man is coming", which sings:
Offstage you look, on stage I do, you want to do the play.
This movie is the same, the actors on the stage are acting, the audience is also living in the life drama, you say this is a movie, or a large-scale performance art?
Sir has always felt that anything is always said to be good and bad.
And once added to the time, this only thing is the value that all artistic creation cannot be easily stripped away.
Maybe because I am not small, I can't stop talking about time.
Let's go back to the movie.
The director of the "Love In" series is Richard Linklater, and the series is based on his real experiences.
In 1989, he met a woman in Philadelphia named Amy Lehrhaupt and then went out all night, from midnight to six in the morning. Despite exchanging phone numbers, they eventually lost contact.
He made "When dawn breaks" and hoped she would attend the premiere, but in the end did not reunite. It wasn't until before midnight began filming that he learned that she had died unexpectedly during the first film.
There is no greatest regret in the world than this.
But the film, with two other lives that are equally vivid and beautiful, makes up for this regret.
The cost of the "Love In" trilogy is not high, "Sunset and Dusk" only filmed for 15 days, talk about it in one location for tens of minutes, and then change places. In the 15 days, a lot of time is spent waiting for the day and waiting for sunny days.
Some fans complain that they are not used to watching tuberculosis films.
But the reason why falling in love is called falling in love is because love is talked about.
"Love in" as a series of romance films, the difference is that in addition to love, they also talk about the psychology of getting along with people, especially the self-and mutual cognition of men and women.
Especially when time attaches to it, it produces wonderful chemical reactions.
A little bit to help you review the first part.
In the first film, Love At Dawn, Jesse, played by Ethan Hawke, and Selena, played by Julie Delpe, one from the United States and one from France, both got on the same carriage of the same train, passing through Vienna.
There was a German couple arguing next to Selena, who could have been gossip, but because of the language barrier, all that was left was to be upset.
The director missed the subtitles for this scene, so normally you are looking at raw meat. But you're so curious, Sir looked for the original script.
In fact, they are arguing about trivial matters. When the husband saw the newspaper that 70,000 women were addicted to alcohol, he accused his wife of saying, "You are one of them!" The wife shot back, "You're an alcoholic too!" The husband retorted, "I'm a normal alcoholic!" You drank it first! ”
The two quarreled to the point of almost getting into a fight. Selena reluctantly changed her seat and sat down near Jesse.
The two men tentatively tried to find the channel ok, and got out of the car together.
Originally, they were a little shy about each other.
After all, it is strange to think about the sudden rise of a person who has only known someone for a few hours in a strange city for a day.
But as they talked, they forgot.
From daytime to evening, and then to sunrise the next day, non-stop, mouth non-stop.
Of course, I also did some things that are difficult to resist temptation in this situation...
Next?
"Love at dawn breaks" is over.
They disappeared from each other's world at once, and when they disappeared, it was nine years.
Although when they were separated, they met for half a year and reunited in Vienna together.
But it wasn't until the second part, "Love at Sunset and Dusk," that we learned that the two people had lost contact that year.
Half a year later, Jesse went to Vienna again as agreed, but Selena did not go because of the death of her relatives.
Seeing each other again, Jesse is already a best-selling author, and he has set the end of the new book tour at the Shakespeare bookstore on the banks of the Seine in Paris.
In the 1920s, it was once known as the center of British and American literature and culture in Paris, where writers and artists of the "Lost Generation" stopped. Although Selena says there are "a lot of fleas", Hemingway described Shakespeare's bookstore in "The Flowing Feast": "On that cold and windy street, the bookstore is a warm and comfortable place, and in winter a big stove is lit, and there are tables and bookshelves in the house..."
When Jesse was interviewed in the bookstore, he turned his head and glanced at it...
Selena stood there.
That's right, she just stood there.
Just like the moment when the High Commander and Sister Stone are reunited in "Philharmonic City", your heart is allowed to stop beating for half a second
At this time, Selena is no longer the 20-year-old young girl.
Over the years, she has had several love affairs, and as an environmental worker, she has traveled to many places, begun to understand the world, and worked hard to help the weak.
Jesse said, "The reason I wrote this book, in a sense, is to find you... Otherwise, do you think we'll have a chance to meet again? ”
(So don't just lose touch.) Otherwise, only when you become a celebrity, it is possible to get back TA)
Coming out of the bookstore, the two walked and talked and went to a café called Le Pure Café.
Not far from Piazza del Bastille and more than 3 km from Shakespeare's Bookstore
The reunion of the two is actually divided into four stages, sir believes that you will one day experience (and even already).
The first stage is called, Surprise.
A man who thought he would never see each other again met without an appointment.
That's a lot of luck.
But I don't know what state the other party is in now, married or single, do you want to see me, and whether love is still there?
So two adults, and a little polite.
In any case, even if the meeting is still unforgettable, there is still some strangeness in the end.
During the chat, the two began to observe each other.
Selena saw that Jesse had wrinkles.
Jesse looked at Selena, she was another kind of beauty, the collagen on her face had subsided.
A kind of beauty with regrets and freshness.
The two exchanged experiences with each other, and Jesse got married and had a four-year-old. Selena split up and changed boyfriends.
But what reality, in the first moment of the reunion, is weightless.
They faced each other, their eyes never moved, they hadn't seen each other for many years, and all they could feel at the moment was each other's gravity.
After that, it goes to the second stage, desire.
Chatting about each other's ordinary lives, the two actually have some small expectations about whether something can happen after the reunion.
In the words, they also began to stir each other up.
For example, they would talk about the beautiful night nine years ago that did not control themselves.
Jesse: Do you remember?
Selena: No, right? I write a diary every day, and it's not written in the diary... You're YY a bunch of yourself later...
Jesse: I even remember what brand the condom was...
...... Talking like this is a dead end.
Come on, save the scene with profundity, the two quickly switched topics, from Einstein and some scientific reports of both sexes to talk about how short life is.
But this is a reunion, ah, the topic will still find a way to go around -
Selena asked Jesse again: That life is short, in case we are going to die tonight, what should we do?
When asked, they happened to walk to the Promenade plantée, not far from the Canal Saint-Martin.
This is a park built in 1993 on an abandoned railway track
Jesse said, if today is the last day of my life, I will certainly not talk to you so much, I will take you to the hotel, cool life last.
Selena picked up the stubble, so why look for a hotel? There is a bench here.
thereupon......
Don't hear that say obscenity. If all this counts, Sir felt that the negative word was even more annoying, and called Dao Mao Anran.
Man has to go the right way, but man is also an animal of desire. Desire will come to your head from time to time, and rules, reason, will pull you back.
On the bench, the two were a little embarrassed again.
Often at such moments, a few centimeters that you inadvertently pull apart will make the other party calm down.
Whether they wanted it or not, the gravitational pull of the real world was finally killing back.
The third stage, calm.
After talking later, although there is nothing on the surface, the two of them invariably re-establish a psychological distance.
Selena would ask Jesse if the kid was having fun, and Jesse would ask how Selena's current boyfriend was.
It's all about having a mouthful.
As the old saying goes, don't mention the past again.
But compared with the past, private affairs are more difficult to mention.
Talk deeply, everyone is a chicken feather.
Selena, who broke up a lot, complained a lot about the breakup, talked about excitement, and even got angry and wanted to leave immediately.
And unfortunately Jesse has too.
With the regret of missing out, he said that on the day of his wedding, he had seen a passerby in New York who looked very much like Selena and he felt crazy.
Selena told him that she had been in New York for those years and was living nearby.
What is creation and man-
When you create people, you can only say like them:
Memories are all good, as long as you can make the past pass.
Finally, the two entered the fourth stage, relieved.
Next, the anger and regret disappeared, and the two returned to reason.
Is it that easy, yes.
When will the two people who get along become rational?
When time is running out.
This reunion is as rushed as the first. Even shorter, less than an afternoon.
Jesse is about to go to the airport, and the reality of the two people, there is no reason to leave each other.
Jesse could only insist, "Then let me send you home."
The home in Selena's film is actually a lively little courtyard (Cour de l'Étoile-d'Or, 75 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine)
Walking into the apartment, the two climbed up the steps along the old spiral staircase.
It was the first time in so many years that Jesse had stepped into Selena's life.
He saw that she had a cat and saw that she had a room full of records.
Drinking the chrysanthemum tea she brewed, he finally thought of what was the last moment of the reunion and the most important thing to do.
Over the years, Selena wrote several songs.
Jesse said earlier that the best thing is not to finally get what you want, but to do what you like.
And all he wanted to do at the moment was to listen to Selena sing a song.
Listening to him, he found that he, the young Jesse, was actually living in the song.
In the song, time disappears and reality disappears.
Eternity and day, both at the same time, are good at the same time.
There is no longer any disturbing reality, and there is no longer a floating body, expecting something to happen.
Let me sing you a waltz
Nothing to say, from the bottom of my heart
Sing that night lingering
You were mine that night
You are all my dreams in my life
But you're gone
Far away
To your island in the rain
For you, it's just a good night's sleep
But for me it was much more than that
Just let you know
I hear rumors about you
About the bad things you did
But when we are alone
You don't look like a playboy at all
I don't care what they say
I know you meant a lot to me that day
I just want to do it again
I just want to come back for one more night
Even if it seems absurd
But you for me
More important than anyone
Spend the night with you, Jesse
Comparable to a thousand nights with others
I have no pain, my dear
I will never forget this night
Even tomorrow, in the arms of others
My heart belongs to you until I die
Sing that lovely night haunting
It was an unfinished reunion. But who's to say, it wasn't the best reunion.
In the movie, there is a small story that Sir has been reminiscing about for a long time.
When the two men crossed the Seine by boat and saw Notre Dame Cathedral, Jesse told a story —
At the end of World War II, when Germany was defeated, it was actually ready to blow up Paris.
So Notre Dame, like the Sacré Coeur and the Eiffel Tower, buried a lot of explosives.
But in the end, it wasn't until the French army took over Paris that they found that the explosives were still there, the buttons were intact, and no one pressed them from beginning to end.
The story may be false, but no one should refute the truth -
Good things, good things, no one wants to destroy.
Even if you can't have it, if you can't start over, no one wants to destroy it.
Memories, that's the kind of thing.
As long as there is a good part of the memory, it is the existence of Notre Dame and should not be destroyed.
Nine years, twice, through your brunette of my hand
Finally, Sir would like to send you a few tips about the reunion:
In fact, where is the reunion, is it really a reunion?
At the age of 20, it was called Hatsumi.
Goodbye at 30, isn't it the first meeting of two 30-year-olds?
When reuniting, just remember one thing:
What does it do that doesn't hinder reality and doesn't hurt memories?
Chat, chat is best.
I was brain-hole traveling at last, looking back at the dividing line at last
