¨The "Salt Lake City Weekly" is not a professional film review newspaper, nor is it an influential newspaper, but as the official site of the Sundance Film Festival, their comments undoubtedly represent everyone's views.

In addition to the film reviews of Jesse James, four other Sundance professional film critics have written film reviews. They all expressed their amazement at "Before sunrise". On the one hand, they were surprised by Hugo's boldness and extraordinaryness. On the one hand, they lamented the smoothness and excellence of the story. Looking at the official journal of the Sundance Film Festival, they gave a score of 8.0 out of ten.

This score is not the highest, currently behind the McMullen brothers itne of Edward Burns mrel60rn. . 00en) "and James Mangold zues.ng's "Unspeakable Love ezvy, but it can be ranked third among the works that have been released, and it can be seen that the evaluation is high.

If you follow the usual practice in previous years, the reviews of the field magazines basically represent the views of the entire film festival, but this year is obviously not the case. Except for the film festival magazines, the major media that swarmed obviously will not continue to remain silent.

¨Nicholas McLenna of the Los Angeles Times wrote the film review at the first time. From Nicholas’s comments, you can deeply feel that ¨Before sunrise” this seemingly boring movie, in fact, the whole movie is full of people. Countless details of deep thought.

¨This is a movie without a story, everything is clear and straightforward, and there is no room for imagination, but it has nothing to do with the plot, only the details. "

As always, Nicholas's ascension is full of personality, but also with a clear attitude, accurately and directly pointing out the theme.

¨The man and the woman met on the train and talked very happily, so they got off the train together in Vienna and showed up a night of conversation. This is the whole story, no need to go into more details, but it is precisely such a boring or even boring story that has unprecedented charm.

In many cases, the audience does not even remember their name, because they just mentioned it symbolically out of habit, and then disappeared in the long conversation, which made people's memory blurred. But this is actually not important, because on this sleepless night, in this city where no one knows them, they don’t need to use names to confirm each other’s existence. They only need to use confession to witness each other’s lives. This confession makes them not It belongs to a name, a social symbol, but simply belongs to oneself.

In this confession night, everything is uncovered. They face each other honestly and truthfully, and face themselves without any cover, even against themselves. Those straightforward but profound dialogues are not for two. sex. The relationship is not for social entertainment, nor is it to show off the depths, but for comprehensive self-discussions and deep soul conversations.

They say it to themselves, and then have enough luck to meet someone who understands it.

It's most special for two people to pretend to call their friends in a cafe. It exaggerates the concealment and pretense between men and women, and makes each other stand in front of each other truthfully and fruitfully. They pretend that the other party does not exist in this space, pretend that they are discussing the man or woman next to someone who is not relevant, and talk about their feelings about this man or woman. Is this a boring conversation? Obviously not, this is to face yourself honestly and face each other truthfully.

The significance of this encounter lies in this confession, the dialogue with each other is also a dialogue with oneself. From this kind of confession, a night of getting along is more profound than the ten years before they met and the ten years after they met, because the confession of this night is at the cost of they will never meet again in the past and in the future. . This makes this night unique. It is a specific moment in time. It does not belong to the past, does not belong to the future, but only belongs to the present.

Because this confession gives meaning to this encounter, the whole movie chooses this method: from the beginning of the dialogue, to the dialogue process, and then to the end of the dialogue, because the breadth and depth of the dialogue determines the meaning of this encounter.

Death, anger, destiny, time, the social roles of men and women, politics, religion, life, etc., as if to precipitate life, all values ​​and worldviews are confessed, and the encounters along the way have become metaphors: fortune-telling Gypsy girls, homeless people who write poems, etc., and their unintentional words can often become a catalyst for their conversation and inspiration, and then become a hint.

This encounter develops a love, but after all, the encounter is only an encounter, because when there is an encounter, there is a breakup. When the encounter begins, love bursts out, and when the encounter ends, love freezes.

The woman said she was most afraid of consciousness in the last few seconds before death, because you knew you were going to die. And this encounter itself carries a metaphor of death: from the beginning of their ascension, they have tacitly stated that parting will come before sunrise, but this clear awareness cannot stop their conversation, she just takes this The encounter is a passing pass, so when they realize that parting is inevitable, the consciousness of fear rises, and the turbulent emotions bring out another proposition of love.

On the one hand, we hope to be able to take the other half’s hand to the focus of life, but on the other hand, we are afraid that the boredom brought by time will eventually precipitate love into a habit, disappearing with the original beauty, leaving only obligations and responsibility.

Many times, human beings sincerely hope that this moment will be frozen forever when they are extremely happy. It is not so much cherishing the present as it is fearing the future, because we are not confident that the future can be so happy; but on the other hand, the surge of love makes People cannot extricate themselves, cannot give up long-lasting thoughts. So this forms an endless loop of contradictions, which is also the most fundamental entanglement in countless loves.

The man said in the story that if he can accept the facts and accept his inherently simple fate, he may not be so painful and angry. But the crux of the problem is that he is unwilling to accept it. The same is true for love, with suspicion and hope at the same time, even if I don’t fully believe it, I can’t help but pray.

Therefore, men and women are like this in the story. On the one hand, they want to lock all the good things in tonight in a smart manner, and then bid farewell to each other completely, without thinking about the future, without worrying about the whole life; but on the other hand, they want to put it like this The beauty lasted for a long time, so much so that later they continued to babble the question of whether to meet again or not.

The woman mentioned to the man before the parting that the love she yearns for is not the spark of love at first sight, but the simplicity and the possibility of continuous continuity, which makes people simply and with good wishes believe that the highest realm of love is plain but long-term. of. The parting from the railway station that follows further deepens the room for further development of the love derived from the encounter, because they will be as trivial and entangled as all the parting people, and they are reluctant to let go.

A word of reluctance is the essence of love.

But when they are confused about using and not to contact to maintain a relationship and seal up a goodness, they forget another possibility that love loses its original color, that is, when they return to their lives and meet People in their respective lives, then forget each other logically. Maybe at this moment they think that the splendor of this encounter will make them unforgettable for life, but most of the time I don’t understand where they come from this confidence: confidence memory can compete with time and life, and the weight of confidence emotion can resist the passing of time .

·Norwegian forest, such a sakura dancing, unforgettable youth, middle-aged Watanabe can only listen to the Beatles’ old song and confess to himself secretly: It will take me a while to remember such and such. Raise Naoko's face. Moreover, as the years go by, time takes longer and longer, although it is very sad, but it is true. It only took me five seconds to remember it at first, and it gradually became ten seconds, thirty seconds, and then one minute.

This is a false proposition, because it can be confirmed only after people have experienced it personally, and only after they have truly experienced the precipitation of time can they understand it. ·Before sunrise, there was no answer in the story, but I could feel his discussion of this proposition in Hugo Lan Shengster's script, as if a dragon flies through my ears. If there is a chance, I would like to see Hugo discuss this proposition, maybe it will be another wonderful story.

The last set of shots of the movie slowly scans the places where they walked together, the cemetery where the unknown dead are buried; the benches where they once sat in the long and narrow walkway; the fountain where they met Gypsy girls; the countless dead bodies in the water The quiet river rushing to the shore; the green grass where you drink to see the stars and the wine bottles that have fallen above the grass.

At that time I suddenly wondered, if these fixed scenes have memories, whether they can resist the washing of time and last longer than our memories; if there is one thing that even these buildings cannot withstand time and eventually decay and collapse, are they us? I will also remember the footsteps that a certain one received from us, and the laughter that drifted through a certain section of the river.

The movie will end, but life has to go on. Whether time or love will win or lose is not determined by a movie. But fortunately, Lan Shengster used this way to let people see the essence of love ~www.readwn.com~ and then silently watched the big screen for a long time and could not return to reality. It was not because the love in the movie was too beautiful, but It's because the love in the movie is too real.

·Don't let time deceive you. You can't beat time. Amidst worries and worries, life passes vaguely. Time will have its own preferences, tomorrow or present. , Time’s ruling on this encounter made me realize the fragility and uncertainty of love in front of it. This may be another meaning of this encounter. "

Nicholas used a realistic but poetic approach to analyze in detail the core idea of ​​the film "Before Sunrise". This is absolutely ingenious. At the end of the film review, he adopted a more special Methods.

¨Finally, end with the poem of the wandering poet in the movie.

The illusion of being immersed in a daydream, blinking thick eyelashes, oh dear, across your beautiful face, a drop of tears fell into my wine glass, staring at your pure eyes, it is clear that you are my life The meaning of, as if the milkshake blends in the sweetness of the cake, I am like the angel that emerges in a trance, wandering in the dream, how can I bear to see you again? But how can the two love each other? I don't know where I come from, let alone where we belong. Just embracing life, it's like a stream will flow into a river after all. Going down, drifting with the flow, you have me in you, I have you in me, it should be so, can you know my heart? ".
