tearjerker director

The title of the movie "Warmth Contains Light" also aroused the doubts of many netizens.

"Actually, I've always been a little curious. Why is the name of the movie Nuan Nuan Containing Light? Is there any special meaning?"

"Upstairs, you can find it out by searching the Internet. The source is Cui Yuan's "Motto" in the Han Dynasty. It means that in the face of adversity, there should still be light shining in the heart. The original text is: In Nirvana, warmth contains light. "

"Fuck, that's awesome. I said why the name of this movie is a bit strange. It turns out there is a source!"

"Actually, it's not just the title of the movie. The place where they first meet and meet again in the movie, Anaya is also very poetic. The name of Anaya comes from the Sanskrit word Aranruo, which originally means "a quiet place in the world, find the true self." place".

Isn't it very interesting?After clearing the memory, find the other half that once belonged to you in the place where you found your true self! "

"Damn it, why am I so uneducated to go around the world and watch movies so stupid?"

"Has no one noticed that the nurse in the movie also quotes foreign verses?
How happy is the innocent man.

He who forgets the world, the world also forgets him.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Every petition was accepted and every wish granted.

This poem also has a source. It comes from the love poem "Heloise to Abelard" written by the 18th-century British poet Alexander Pope. From the perspective of a nun, the author tells a story of a year-end love in France in the 12th century. story.

It seems that the name of this movie is "Eternal Sunshine of a Beautiful Mind", the name of the movie has been played out, really awesome! "

"I learned it, and finally there is another verse that can hold 13!"

At the same time, many people are discussing the technology of memory erasure. Is it possible to realize it?

The results are naturally strange. Although some people once said that there has been a breakthrough in this research, in fact, it has not been really put into practice, so it is hard to say whether there is such a technology.

But many people said that there is no such thing now, but there will definitely be one in the future.

Of course, these are condiments, and it also proves from the side that the setting of memory erasure in this movie does not make the audience feel abrupt and too whimsical.

Du Xianghai, Li Yi's hardcore film critic, naturally wouldn't miss this movie.

His evaluation of the film was not unexpected.

"The best romance movie of the new century - "Warmth and Light"!
Regarding the viewing experience of this movie, I really thought it was a thriller, sci-fi and suspense movie at first, but after watching it, I suddenly realized that it was a love story that made sugar fly.

Since the birth of movies, love has always been one of the enduring story themes. Unfortunately, the embarrassing fact is that most of the love movies that are regarded as classics, especially the ones that are favored by major film festivals, are enshrined in film history. The proportion of great works and other types of stories is far less than the proportion of romance films in the entire global film production, and most of these masterpieces are relatively old and simple.

In fact, when I heard that director Li Yi was going to make a romance film, I was pessimistic at the beginning, for the same reason as mentioned above.

In fact, the output of excellent romance films has been getting lower and lower in the past few years. There is nothing else, because as a long-standing theme, it is really rare for romance films to innovate.

Of course, this also reflects the fact to a certain extent: love is really a story that people all over the world like to hear and see. Movies were first used as dream-making machines, and the first thing to bear the brunt is to satisfy people's needs for romantic fantasies.However, with the advancement of technology and the deepening of film creation, the scope of expression of the film itself has been greatly expanded. It is no longer limited to the expansion of stage dramas. Facial characters and deliberately exaggerated conflicts are gradually abandoned. Get used to enjoying a more realistic style, and a more complex story.

This can also explain why it is becoming more and more difficult to make a good love movie.At the beginning of the era of black and white silent films, the heroine would faint in his arms when she saw the man she liked, and the audience chattered about watching it in the theater; To the old; nowadays, the romantic love that was once sought after by people will only make people feel mediocre when filmed.

Is love beautiful?Its tender and brilliant light is naturally beautiful.is love real?Countless people spend their whole lives chasing their true love. Some people are lucky enough to meet the right person at the right time, but there are also more people who end up with nothing, or stories of accidental mistakes, until the curtain ends. Dream Fang wakes up.It is so lucky to have the best of both worlds, and it is not easy to tell the exciting true love in the dream woven by the movie, using the imaginary world on the screen.

I have to praise Director Li Yi for being an overlooked gold medal screenwriter. He chose a different approach in the film "Warmth and Light": using the narrative technique of a suspense film to tell this love story.

I believe that some viewers will have a more or less suspenseful feeling when they watch the movie for the first time.

At the beginning of the story, the audience was presented with the first half of the ending. On the morning of Valentine's Day, Chen Qiao skipped work on a sudden whim, took a car to the beach of Qindao, and met a man in an orange coat with a hot blue hair. An enthusiastic girl with colored hair, the two hit it off and fell in love with each other...

There is no sweet and cloying soft light slow motion of conventional love movies. This film has a wide range of cool tones, and like a suspense film, it deliberately throws out many strange things to make the audience wonder: Chen Qiao feels uncomfortable when she wakes up The look on his face, the car was scratched when he went out, why he suddenly couldn't restrain himself and ran to chase the train bound for Qindao, the strange behavior of the boy at the door of Jiang Tingting's house repeatedly asking him if he needed help...

After the audience's appetite was whetted, the opening subtitles began to be played slowly, and then the timeline was turned back to the moment when the story really started to happen. The day before Valentine's Day, Chen Qiao lay alone in the driver's seat and sobbed heartbroken. , there were already scratches on the car door, he and his girlfriend Jiang Tingting quarreled and broke up, she had another man, and she didn't seem to know him at all.Her new young boyfriend has a deliberately faceless face in the film, but his voice is familiar.

Why did we meet after Valentine's Day, but the car was scratched before Valentine's Day?In the end what happened?When the audience was at a loss, the movie finally dropped the bomb: Jiang Tingting chose to accept the service of "Wangqing Clinic", physically erasing her memory of Chen Qiao.

After the movie was released, many people were discussing the rationality of the memory erasure setting, but in fact, arguing about this topic is actually quite boring.

Because the director and screenwriter are actually using the privilege of "God never explains" silently, and the characters in the film have accepted this fact by default. This is not a science fiction story with detailed settings, it is more like the premise of some kind of fable, The audience will generally choose to try to accept the world and give the creator a chance to tell a story.

In fact, the key lies in whether the movie can tell such a story well under such a setting.

Obviously, Li Yi seized this opportunity to prove himself in the movie "Warmth Contains Light". This seemingly absurd setting brought the audience into a brand new world that had never been seen before. The fabled dominoes have been set, please get ready to enjoy the interlocking magnificent destruction and new life.

The love stories that happen in movies probably cannot escape the following single route: the hero and heroine meet and know each other, fall in love with each other, and finally either succeed in getting together, and everyone is happy; or they fail to fulfill their promise, which is embarrassing.The main difference is nothing more than all kinds of toss and resistance in the middle, career, family, misunderstanding, conflict, whether the story is ultimately exciting depends largely on whether the resistance on the road of love is deliberate blood or biting truth.

However, this film brought the audience into another imaginary world through the foreshadowing and design of the first half hour. The biggest difference between this place and the reality is that people's memory can be targeted to be cleared.I didn't linger half-way between scientific logic and human conspiracy, so I couldn't wait to reveal my sincerity. What this movie is going to tell is actually a fable about love.

Under this framework setting, "Warmth Contains Light" has become a unique love story context. Even audiences who have gone through countless routines have never seen such a magical love story.The hero and heroine start from breaking up, and the climax of the story is the first meeting of two people; the two people start from falling out of love, but in the end, the man and woman can't hide their smiles and cast curious eyes on each other's world.

In recent years, when talking about realms, people always like to mention the theory of triple kung fu: the mountain is a mountain, the mountain is not a mountain, and the mountain is still a mountain. The love described in "Warmth Contains Light" also has such a spiraling transcendent closed loop.At the beginning, Chen Qiao and Jiang Tingting met on the beach in Aranya. It was no different from ordinary love. The two had a good talk, a new friendship, and then fell in love. Then they picked each other's shortcomings, quarreled, hurt, and broke up.

These parts that have long been reduced to clichés are shown in the smallest space in the film, leaving most of the space for the audience to make up their minds.The main point of this film is how the two people went to the second first encounter.After struggling and fleeing, Chen Qiao still lost everything about Jiang Tingting.The only thing they can do is to pretend that they have said goodbye to each other in memory.

"Go to Aranya." This last whisper turned into a spell to summon true love, making Chen Qiao desperately catch the train like a bewitched man, and came to the beach without knowing that it was to meet her.

The most beautiful thing in love is the ambiguous stage of mutual affection between two people, so most love movies with good endings focus on this hazy sweetness; and the most beautiful moment in the ambiguous relationship between two people is It was like the first meeting in life after a long absence.Before Chen Qiao and Jiang Tingting knew it, the audience already understood that your meeting was the love that was destined.

Love is probably a cat-like existence. When we like it, we often say we hate it;So using such an arrogant way, using breaking up to talk about getting acquainted, using breaking up to talk about falling in love, is the real and most appropriate way to open up.

In order to maintain a variety of narratives in the middle and late stages of the story, and also serve as a control group for Chen Qiao and Jiang Tingting, in addition to the memory world, the film also tells the story of the real world that happened that night in parallel. The Great Escape, the sensuality here is also bizarre.

There should be no other art form in this world that is more suitable for expressing dreams than movies. I myself have watched myself from a strange third-person perspective more than once in my dreams. The feeling is strange and wonderful.

In the latter part of the film, in order to keep Jiang Tingting in her memory, Chen Qiao took her to many memories that did not have her.On the one hand, this is a continuation of the sci-fi world view in the film. On the other hand, this behavior also has profound psychological symbolic significance.

Chen Qiao brought Jiang Tingting back to her childhood, but turned Jiang Tingting into her aunt. Why do we have such a special feeling for this person?It is precisely because in the depths of past memories, we have long hidden a lingering deep image in our subconscious mind, and she seems to be walking from that dream.

The plot of this childhood shadow scene is extremely delicate. Chen Qiao's character is cowardly and sensitive. It is precisely because he was bullied and humiliated when he was a child. Under the persecution and ridicule of everyone, he was still a child and smashed a bird to death with a hammer. The blood on his hands became a lingering wound in his heart, so he was so afraid, afraid of hurting others, and afraid of being hurt by others.

In the process of fleeing, he took Jiang Tingting to see countless of his most secret and shameful memories, but in this childhood, the passionate and forthright Jiang Tingting became his hero, took him by the hand and led him away from those bastards, like Glowing angel.

"How I wish I knew you when I was a child." Yes, I love you so much, I don't want to miss every minute of your life, because you have lived in it a long, long time ago into my heart.

All of the above, all kinds of things, are actually paving the way for the final ending, using the sweetest sugar to survive the most astringent bitterness!
They received the amnestic recordings, and after "First Encounter", they spoiled the ending directly, as if God told them, look, poor boy, how much you will be hurt by being with him , You see, how ugly you became later on, in the end, how ugly each other will be in your mutual eyes, this love will eventually turn into deep hurt.

If you know that each other will eventually be separated, do you still have the courage to come together?
According to what I have learned from several friends who have achieved positive results, from falling in love to getting married, you generally need to go through such a process: when you first attract each other, you have no demands on the other party at all, and you will be delighted by all the good things. Worry about gains and losses because of fear of not being able to be together; when we are really together, the world is full of happy sunshine at the beginning, carefree like a child of a certain age; after a while, we will pick and blame each other for a long time The running-in and labor pains.

If the mutual evaluation index can draw a curve, then it is undoubtedly the lowest point at this time. Many couples have to part ways because they cannot survive this most difficult period of endless quarrels and cannot find a suitable way to get along; Once this period has passed, the relationship will enter a stable period, and even get along well, but it will usher in a good continuous rise.

In this movie, Li Yi's assumption is that at the sweetest beginning of love, he puts the most bitter result in front of him and lets them choose their own destiny.It is used to test whether their previous love is pure and sweet enough, even if there will be a day when each other is no longer perfect in each other's eyes, they feel OK with each other.

I believe that if there is such a day, when the bad words are about to come out, looking at the wronged face of the other party, they will still be able to remember the moment when they embraced love for the first time, that desperate look.

Eternal sunshine of the beautiful mind, let us be together forever. "
