The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1337 Sleepless Night
“…Let’s pull our attention back to the ending of the movie.”

"Putting aside the rational thinking and weighing the pros and cons for the moment, I always believe that the most wonderful and touching part of love is——

We knew that we might end up with the same ending, we would be hurt, we would hurt each other, and the short-lived happiness would be followed by a long period of suffering and torture, but we still had the courage to embrace each other. "

"It's not just about giving each other a chance to 'start over', it's more about embracing those happy and beautiful memories, and enjoying the exciting and nostalgic part of love."

“Same as the glass half full theory.”

"Some people see happiness, some people see pain, but love often belongs to those who are brave enough to try."

“Loving someone is a skill, and so is believing in love.”

At least, he lost this ability for a very long time.

Love and trust are luxuries for the trash standing in the abyss.

In contemporary society, people are becoming more and more indifferent and alienated, and their trust in each other is becoming increasingly thin, and is no longer recoverable and sliding irretrievably into the abyss. So, twenty years later, people simply and crudely label it as "love-brained" and think it is stupid.

Irredeemably stupid.

Is "love-brain" stupid? Yes, without a doubt, 100%, this view does capture the blind, impulsive and naive side of love.

However, from another perspective, since when did people refuse to believe in love? People refuse to believe that there is a simple, pure, romantic, strong bond and emotion in interpersonal relationships? People try to use reason to arm their own fragility, and treat emotions as their Achilles' heel to ridicule, attack and spit on?
In fact, if we think about the "love brain" seriously, it is stupid, but beyond stupidity, after being hurt again and again, we are still willing to believe in love, still willing to give trust, still have faith in romance, beauty and kindness, and still have the ability to love and be loved. This is a kind of courage.

In a way, it’s brave.

For humans, just like animals, "trust" is an instinct. When we are young, we always give trust easily. But after entering society and growing up, we experience more and more hurt, betrayal and ugliness, and arm ourselves with heavy armor to refuse the possibility of being hurt again.

Therefore, refusing to trust strangers and refusing to believe in love is, in essence, a manifestation of a self-protection mechanism, which is also a trend of social development in the Internet age.

Anson has a deep understanding of this. He not only witnessed the process, but also experienced the betrayal, hurt and loss of trust deeply.

However, it was precisely because of this that, after going through all the hardships and hardships, and winning a second chance at life, Anson finally learned to let go of the hurt and shackles.

Most importantly, let yourself go.

The most special and beautiful part of a story like "The Light of Love" lies here. It is not just a story about Joel and Clementine, but a story that uses these two people as the core to show modern society's thinking about love, those doubts, hesitations, and confusions.

The real core of the movie is not the happy ending, but raising a doubt, a question mark and a kind of thinking.

"So I believe that those who dare to pursue love, embrace love and continue to believe in love after being hurt are brave."

"Charlie Kaufman left such an ending, in my personal opinion, not because he believed in love, but because he believed in courage."

"At the same time, he left a topic for the audience to explore, study and develop. Perhaps he can find the answer from these reactions."

"me too."

The entire place was completely quiet.

Only Anson's voice was stirring in the howling wind. The raging waves in his brain were roaring and crashing, but he found a moment of peace inexplicably.

This is the charm of movies. Of course, entertainment, leisure, and relaxation are part of the charm of movies, and the importance of popcorn movies can never be easily ignored; similarly, art, philosophy, and thinking are also part of the charm of movies, and those profound and obscure art movies are also an indispensable part.

Beyond this, there is another type of movie, which is not so profound but not so serious either. There is no need to ponder the meaning of life bitterly but it is not a bombardment of visual garbage without a plot. They cut a hole in real life, a small hole, to peek into life, reality, and life, and start exploring.

It gives life warmth and weight.

As for Anson, what he said was not the correct answer, nor the only answer, it was just a starting point.

"Hey, Blair, thanks for your question."

Anson said.

Blair's eyes suddenly warmed up, and he raised his chin stubbornly and said, "You're welcome."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Blair began to applaud.

Standing alone, stubbornly, but not shy or reserved at all, clapping his hands vigorously to make applause——

Thank you Anson for answering questions, thank you Anson for opening his heart and letting them glimpse his wisdom and thinking, and thank you Anson for bringing such a work.

Now they finally understood why Anson was so well received at Cannes.

It's not because of fashion, not because of the band, not even because of "Elephant", it's just because Anson, an actor who loves movies and loves to think, swims in the world of movies with his meager power.

When those old pedants from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are arrogantly and paranoidly using vase labels to cover up the colors and edges of different actors, when the news media are chattering about the "20 million club" and the pyramid class of Vanity Fair, when businessmen like Sony Columbia are trying to transform actors into a series of numbers for their own benefit, what is happening at the center of all this storm?

think.

Not only am I thinking about movies, I'm also thinking about life, thinking about my role as an actor, and thinking about my existence as a human being.

The heart that beats because of the movie is always glowing and radiating heat.

He is not a symbol, a label or a keyword, but a real existence with the ability to think, a real existence with a living soul after stripping away the appearance.

Who could refuse such an Anson?
Snap, snap, snap. Snap, snap.

Karen was the first to stand up and join Blair in clapping their hands; but then Karen realized that they were not alone.

One, two, three, four, five.

In the blink of an eye, the bustling figures have filled every corner of the field of vision.

The applause gradually gathered. It was not enthusiastic or crazy, but one could feel the sincerity in each pair of eyes, the sincerity and admiration from the heart.

This is more meaningful than the applause itself.

The entire audience, without exception, stood up and applauded again. A pure and simple enthusiasm burst out and finally turned into a storm.
