I like these old friends from Notting Hill more than fairy tales

Perhaps because of the recent living conditions, after watching Notting Hill, I felt a particularly lonely feeling. When the subtitles appeared on the screen, I recalled this film. My favorite is the tacit understanding between Bella and Max, William and The feelings of his old friends, the blue eyes and gentle temperament of the male lead, and finally the love between the male and female lead William and Anna, ranked in order, yes, it is not the love between the male and female leads that impresses me the most.

When Max asked, "Where's Bella?" Bernie said, "She's not coming." "Nonsense, Bernie, sit in the back." Max opened the car door, got out of the car and picked up Bella. The camera came here, and it seemed familiar. Searching the vague memory, make sure that I have seen this movie, maybe I haven't finished it, at least I have seen this clip, and it is the only memory of this movie, which is deeply impressed and unforgettable.

Today I am serious again, from beginning to end, after watching this movie, but the two of them are still more exciting because they still don't make many appearances. They are not the protagonists, but they are very emotional. From the first shot of Bella's appearance, she was attracted by her eyes, and felt that her face looked very comfortable, with a touch of tranquility, indifference and intimacy. Even if she is in the same frame as Roberts, she can still successfully attract people's attention. There is a mixed version of the actress Zeng Li and Zhou Haimei between her eyebrows, and her relationship with Max, although not as ups and downs as Anna William, is full of drama. But it is indeed a true revelation that ordinary people are more familiar with but more rare in ordinary life. I think this is probably what it looks like to be married to love. They once loved others and missed each other, but they finally met... When he got out of the car and picked up Bella, I felt like I saw the most beautiful love in the world , he understands her small emotions, and cares about her feelings that others are not easily aware of, no matter how complicated or tense situations, or how trivial details, although she said it's okay, although she is inconvenient, he doesn't want her to miss every wonderful thing moment. This is probably the most silent yet heart-pounding scene of the film. This is to have a person in the heart and understand the instinctive reaction of a person...

Whenever William and his friends gather for dinner or complain, I unconsciously think of Friends. This American TV series I have watched for ten years. Compared with the translation of Six People, I prefer the translation of Friends. , is the two most beautiful words in the world to interpret friendship. Whether it's William helping his roommate pick clothes, or the hilarious laughter of friends crossing the porch at the moment when the door is closed at the end of the birthday party, the appropriate, restrained sense of humor is the most direct expression of decades of emotional tacit understanding and consonance. When Anna left angrily because of being surrounded by reporters, when Max and Bella comforted William, they talked about Bella and William's past relationship, William looked helpless, Bella teased, Max laughed so badly, the three looked calm, Years of old friends are as close and casual as family members, but they seem to have a more appropriate distance than family members. When William turned to friends for comfort after rejecting Anna, a group of people swayed along William's emotions like a slap in the face. Friendship is probably like this. When you follow your heart and make a certain decision, your friends search for all kinds of reasons to support you, but when you regret the next second, they will slap your face for your fickleness and risk your life. to help you save. At the end of the film, a group of old friends stared nervously at the screen in the hotel lobby, when the reporter asked you again how long you were in London? Anna replied, forever. A group of people burst into tears and kissed each other.

This scene reminded me of Federer's 20 championships in the Australian Open men's singles final a few days ago. When he was speaking, he suddenly burst into tears. The camera cut to his player box. The family and friends were already full of tears, even more fierce than he cried. A group of people who understand him, understand his tears, understand his choking, understand his unfinished words, understand his ups and downs along the way, understand the inhuman sadness and persistence behind this trophy.

Such friends, such friendships.

Regarding William and Anna, my favorite part of the film is that after leaving sister William's birthday party, the two climbed over the wall to a private villa. All that remains is a throbbing, precious moment of a couple in love. Elvis Costello's SHE sounded slowly, melodious and melodious, the moonlight sprinkled on the lush leaves, revealing mottled light, the reflections of the two were cast on the sparkling lawn, there was a fairy tale dream... The reporter in the film is in Anna He played two completely different roles in his relationship with William. For the first time, the flash focused on Anna and William. They stayed at William's house during Anna's photo crisis. In the morning after a night of lingering, they were photographed by reporters who swarmed unexpectedly. His shirts were messy and his face was full of anger and anger. The group of people across the door with long guns and short cannons successfully washed away the ambiguity that had just been ignited before they had time to see the light. . Time goes by, and after William has experienced spring, summer, autumn and winter, the same group of people, the same long guns and short guns, the same hero and heroine, and they no longer seem to be the curious group of onlookers in front of the blue gate, suddenly become forgetful and peaceful. Lovely, when Anna said forever, the flash was aimed at the corner of Anna's raised mouth and William's blue eyes again...

They are probably the group of people that Anna loves and hates the most, because they have fixed the most beautiful moments of her love on a film at the moment, but they have also spread the worst moments of her life all over the streets... But what does it matter, Like William said, today's newspapers go into the trash tomorrow...
