"Take away or drink here?"

Elizabeth Weitzman froze for a while, "Take it away." She had just finished watching the evening screening of "Crazy in Love", and it was already half past ten in the middle of the night. She had to rush back and write the film review.

As a contributing film critic for The New York Times, she must remain calm and objective in her evaluation of films. However, after watching the premiere of "Crazy in Love" in the afternoon, her thoughts were always in chaos, unable to sort out a clear idea.

The story told in this film seems to be extremely simple, but it is extremely complicated when you think about it carefully. Those trivial details give the film a unique texture, reminiscent of "500 Days with Summer", "Blue Valentine's Day" two films. But as far as Elizabeth is concerned, she prefers "crazy in love".

However, she is not quite sure whether it is because the movie has awakened her memories of her previous relationship, or because everything in this movie is too real, blurring the line between reality and fantasy, making her judgment lose. standard. Although she is a film critic, she is first and foremost a normal person.

She tried to calm down, stripped her emotions, and wrote a film review, but her turbulent thoughts couldn't stop at all. As long as she was quiet for a while, fragments from the movie would emerge in her mind, fragmented fragments, incomplete, violent The emotion was breathless.

The result of being bored in a hotel room for three hours: unable to write a word.

This kind of feeling is not unusual. Many classic movies can bring such shocking echoes. This is also one of the biggest charms of movies. It calls for ideological resonance and causes ideological storms. When she first watched "2001 A Space Odyssey" , I was stunned for three minutes without regaining my senses. After I went back, I thought about it over and over again for a week. Later, I watched the movie six times. I clearly understood it, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Thinking of this, Elizabeth showed an absurd smile. She actually compared "Love Crazy" to "2001: A Space Odyssey". But the fact is, she really can't be quiet. So, she came to the cinema again, preparing to watch the movie for the second time.

For the afternoon show, the tickets were sold out quickly, so she could only wait for the third show in the evening after dinner.

Five minutes ago, just after watching the movie, the bitterness and emptiness that echoed in my chest were still not relieved much. However, my thoughts were finally cleared up a little. After all, this is not a brain-burning movie. To be precise, it was a movie as simple as a white shirt, but it really touched her.

It's been a long time, it's really been a long time, the last movie that made her have such mixed thoughts was... "Brokeback Mountain". Yes, "Brokeback Mountain". Of course, "Crazy in Love" is not as complete as "Brokeback Mountain", but the two movies have one thing in common, too beautiful, but also too cruel.

How should she write a movie review?

"It was Jacob's fault, I tell you, because he didn't love enough! Otherwise he should have gone to London! He should have left everything in Los Angeles and gone to London!"

"That's not the case! If Jacob doesn't love enough, will he call Anna? Will he fly to London just because of Anna's words?"

"Then why didn't he want to go there? Anna confessed at the very beginning. He was an otaku who no one liked, so he couldn't wait to nod and agree. His love has never been as deep as Anna's!"

"You didn't pay attention to the movie, you didn't pay attention!"

"Where did I not pay attention? What I said is the truth!"

"No, you didn't hear Jacob's later conversations, he tried, he had flown to London many times, he and Anna applied for visas together, tried to find the possibility of development together, but they all failed! Jacob's Work hard, never less than Anna!"

"Then why didn't he go to London?"

...

A couple walked into the coffee house, and the girl and the boy quarreled. Obviously, the girl was the one who fought for Anna.

The smile at the corner of Elizabeth's mouth could not help but rise slightly, which is why she likes movies - it can always build a bridge of communication between people, and process those realistic, surreal and artistic stories, Then it becomes a medium for people to explore the spiritual world and real life.

Yeah, why didn't Jacob go to London?

Elizabeth couldn't help but ask herself this question, or go further, "Yeah, why didn't I want to move from Manhattan to Brooklyn in the first place?"

Just like the movie "The Squid and the Whale". In fact, distance and time have never been the biggest enemies of love. It's just that we couldn't find the answer, so we put the responsibility on each other and the fault on distance and time, and then continued to live with peace of mind.

Even if it's not Los Angeles and London, just the distance from Manhattan to Brooklyn can tear two people apart and even tear a family apart.

She suddenly understood why she liked this movie so much, just like the quarrel between the couple just now, because they, like the director, were asking herself the same question; also because they were the same as Jacob and Anna , are at a loss.

"Miss?"

Hearing the call, Elizabeth looked up and took her coffee, but did not leave.

After opening the coffee shop, he went straight to the seat next to him, took out his notebook, and started typing quickly.

"It's a heartbreaking, hopeless, and addictive film."

When she finished typing the first line of words, Elizabeth was in a trance for a moment, and the eyes of Jacob in the last scene reappeared in her mind. Just type quickly on the keyboard.

"Drake Doremus tells a very simple story, too simple for a superfluous character:

American young Jacob and British student Anna fell in love, but because Anna violated the visa stay agreement, they were sent back to London and refused to re-enter. Two young lovers who fell in love vigorously had to live in the Atlantic Ocean. Both sides, trying to find a way back to the past.

The shots of the entire film are extremely gentle, sensitive, and fragile, and stay on these two young people, constructing a world. Undoubtedly, this is a very personal, very egoistic, and very petty bourgeois story. There is hardly too much social weight in the small script structure, and it is completely settled in the love life of two young people.

Therefore, when people hear this story, it is often easy to make an intuitive judgment——

Why can't Jacob go to London, where he and Anna start a new life? Or, why can't two people get married and then reunite on a marriage visa? Or, why can't two people go to another country and start a new life? Or, two people can't end here, free each other and free themselves?

Things seem to be very simple, there are countless solutions, and any solution is found, and the ending may be completely different. However, 'Love Crazy' uses this series of 'Why' to explore a sense of belonging.

Why do people fall in love with someone? Are we in love with that person, or when, where, and how that person feels at that moment?

People always think that there is the most special 'that person' in the world, and they are looking for it, but perhaps, such a 'that person' never exists.

There are thousands of 'one people' around life. At a special time and a special place, a person happens to appear, close at hand and within reach, so you will think that this is 'that person', so , the moth fell in love with the fire.

But in fact, it is not the 'one' that is special, but the time, the place and the feeling that make the 'one' the 'that one'. Does that mean that another 'person' can also be 'that person' when another time, place and feeling arises?

In the depths of our memory, there is always a person who is irreplaceable. People always have an illusion that this is 'that person', but perhaps, what we miss is not 'that person', but the beauty and lost youth we once lost , and a past that cannot be returned. People often think that they are deeply in love with a person, and sometimes, people just miss the former self, the self who was wanton and wildly blooming.

At that time, the situation changed, even if we finally recovered everything, that person was no longer 'that person', and at the moment of leaving, 'that person' was no longer the one in our memory, and we were no longer the one in our memory. It is the one from before, and that similar feeling no longer exists.

Jacob refuses to stay in London because he can't find a sense of belonging in that strange city; Anna is willing to go to Los Angeles because that land holds her fond memories. However, Jacob still chose Anna after all, and Anna chose Jacob after all, because they once belonged to each other, but they no longer belonged to each other.

This is the most realistic and exciting core idea of ​​the entire film. They once belonged to each other, they once loved each other deeply, and they still love each other deeply, but after all, they missed that time, that place, that moment, so they also missed each other.

Cruel, bitter, sad, but true, and powerless. "

He picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. The bitterness of the espresso burst along the tip of the tongue, and even the heart curled up. Elizabeth turned her head and looked out the window. Park City began to snow. , the entrance of the cinema is still very lively, and a large group of spectators bustlingly appeared in sight, ready to watch the midnight show.

In the distance, the staff was taking away the poster template of "Crazy in Love". Seeing this scene, Elizabeth's eyes flooded with warmth. Tonight is another sleepless night.

Looking back, Elizabeth continued to type quickly on the computer.
