Closer--Sees My Past Self In This Film

It's the only movie I have to watch every night for five days in a row. The blowers' daughter had already heard it in 2007. It was the melody I heard in the inn where I was working in Lijiang in the summer of my 21st year. Because of this melody, I remember the smile of a Kunming man and the appearance of Lijiang that summer. Later, I found the movie by following the clues, watched it once, and ignored it if there was no big surprise.

Later, the hard drive failed, and I was bored at night. I dug out old movies that I had seen before, but I remembered to listen to the blowers' daughter again. So open the player again and watch the movie carefully. Alice's script is still clear in my memory, because I did the same thing with her. I tried my best to love a man, but didn't give him my real name. I loved to the end. My passion was exhausted. I just said "Sound, I didn't love you anymore, so goodbye." I left his side and started a new life.

There was a gap of two years between the first viewing and the second viewing. Then I went crazy watching this movie once a day. Seeing Alice is like looking at my own shadow, except that I don't have Alice's angelic face. I like her charming smile in the club and her heart-pounding tone of voice. I also love how she walks around the house in baggy clothes. A perfect woman has two souls, one charming and the other simple.

So I remembered that summer, when I carried a canvas bag alone, jumped on the train bound for Sichuan, and then transferred to the bus. After more than 50 hours, he came to pick me up when I arrived at Lijiang Bus Terminal. If I had seen the movie then, I would have said, "Hello, stranger," with a small smile. It's a pity that I hadn't seen it at that time, so I just smiled lightly and followed him to the inn run by Shuhe.

He's an editor with a writer's dream.

She is a young and invincible showgirl from New York.

He is a respected and strong doctor.

She is a mature photographer who lives alone after a divorce.

He meets her by chance and begins a love affair.

He and she met through a prank and got married.

But he said that she destroyed his life, and

He also walked into the club on a down night to meet her. She was so beautiful.

The feelings between the four people are overlapping.

In the end, she returned to New York with a ponytail, and the name on the passport was Jane.

He and she continued their marriage and lived a trivial and ordinary life.

Only he was left in place, waiting for the next reincarnation.

The end of the film and the beginning of the film almost overlap; still Alice is still walking on the street, but there is no man on the opposite side who looks at her and smiles, but the men around her frequently look sideways.

I shouldn't be the only one who sees my past self in this film.

At that time, I was young and fearless.

    The general in love is like Larry. He has all the fascinating external conditions, but he is not so obsessed with life and death for anyone. He loves the calm and restrained self. The emperor of love is like Alice, who loves to the point of destruction, but is free to put it away. One second, she is the bird in your arms, the next she treats you as a tramp picking up trash on the street corner.

    Everything is true except your name is false; what is true except your name? I can't forget the hello stranger at the beginning, and see diamen rice again in 2021: I don't feel touched at all, I don't feel it, I don't understand why I cried like a fool 9 years ago. I just think, 屮, scumbag, disgusting scumbag, and stupid enough to ruin two relationships that could have been good because of double standards and obsessions with sex... Yes, I'm getting old myself Bar? I no longer feel, no longer have a heart, but I know certain rules in certain parts of the world and have a distaste for people who break the rules and cause trouble for others. so, now im a robot
