Yesterday's tomorrow is today, these heavens will have

If I say, this is not a police and gangster film about anti-drug and desert sand. It's a deep love movie, and some dramas from the perspective of the sky. Will it disappoint you?

The male protagonist is a prison guard who inherited his father's business.

The heroine is a "dangerous person" who planted a bomb and killed four civilians. In fact, it was because her husband had overdose on drugs a few years ago and found a female teacher who was a drug dealer and even endangered the lives of her students.

When she came out, she was ruthless and fast, and he was taciturn and kind. These two characters, who seem to be full of opposites, become the only protagonists in the play who sympathize with each other.

Fillippo is still reasonable and conscientious. After she arranged the bomb, she made a phone call to inform the unrelated female secretary to leave. But she never expected that the countdown of only 40 seconds would reverse her whole life.

After learning the number of people who were accidentally killed, even when there were children, the heroine fainted due to excessive sadness. When Phillippa held her hand, he saw the teardrop-shattered face carefully from above for the first time, maybe it was a lifelong look, or maybe he saw the reflection of the fallen angel.

This is the first bird's-eye view in the film that has a deep impact on me, and the other is the frequently-occurring image of flying over the city. From Fillippo's bed in prison, I heard the male lead's recorded message, and the camera moved with the slow music again and again.

In order to dilute the conflict of hero and heroine identities, the director used a lot of soft tones, warm eyes, and deep piano music in the second half of the film to achieve the silent and powerful effect of the film language.

"where are we going?"

"Take me to where you grew up."

When the male protagonist said I love you seriously and firmly, the female protagonist knew that she just said that she wanted to end all this as soon as possible.

And when the father of the male protagonist found them and asked if the female protagonist loved him too, Fillippo was quiet for a long time, and he held back his tears and said, "I love him."

Some things can be said once in a lifetime. In her inner struggle with her head down for nearly 30 seconds, she may have thought of the life of innocent manslaughter, the relatives and students who were taken away by drugs, the male protagonist who was implicated by her, and the unknown future. How will happen in the future. But she still raised the corner of her mouth and said:

"I love him."

After returning to their hometown, the better the scenery, the more foiled the tragic grief of the two of them. They had the same shaved heads, wore the same dusty white T-shirts, and squatted by the pillars eating small ice creams. Watching other people's weddings is like saying that happy people are all the same, but unfortunate people have their own stories. After Fillippo and his friend asked for a place to stay, he came back and found no one under the pillar, holding his head in pain and having nowhere to tell.

The feeling of "I grew up in a place where I grew up, I didn't see you when I looked back, I can't find you again", after the male protagonist appeared, she ran towards him, and all words at this time turned into heavy hugs .

The story background of the film is actually very cold, full of crime and punishment, good and evil and self-redemption. But the background color is getting warmer and warmer. The window of the train returning home is full of hopeful green. In the celebration of the wedding, it is colorful. And the male protagonist's father pushed him away, turned around and hurried away, as if walking out of the alley where the sunlight was slanting, but also as if he was walking into the beautiful outside world. Then it could be the farewell of this life. The father chose to respect their decision.

They hugged under a tree in the setting sun, which could be the Kabbalah of the Western world, or another tree of knowledge of good and evil in Paradise. (I don’t know much about religion here, so I don’t dare to make any assertions. I just saw this situation and remembered where I’ve read similar stories.)

The helicopter at the end of the ending kept going up and up. until we can see it again. Like the height of the emotions of the male and female protagonists in the film, they continue to rise with the eyes of the audience, making people unable to see them again and have endless thoughts. And at the feet of their unknown future is a siege full of gunfire and a futile pursuit.

I have always believed that panic is to cover up fear,

And behind the fear, always hides the truth.

    [Exhibition at the China Film Archive] Film version. It's both a crime movie and a romance movie. It turned out to be Kieslowski's unfilmed posthumous script, indifference and warmth. Directed by Tom Tykwer adds a dynamic cool. Cate Blanchett's unique temperament can't be concealed even if she wears popular clothes and shaved her head. Whether it's crying until fainting or smiling, her acting skills are amazing

    Movie masterpieces missed in the DVD era: a few movies that Cate Blanchett did not expect, subverting the image of Cate Blanchett, the heroine of the literary film rarely plays such a capable role, and the literary style of the second half of the film fits Chieslow again. Vsky's films should be taken for granted by the master in his later years, but he was unable to complete them. He watched the film in one go, echoing the front and back, the helicopter is off topic, sprinting to heaven or galloping in heaven.
