Once a day and night

When I'm bored, I turn to some old movies to watch.

With a bit of an obscure movie, even a taste of porn, thirty years ago, so long. Most of the plot felt exaggerated and unreasonable to me. At the moment of watching it, I realized that the film is direct and thorough, undisguised, not afraid of anything, self-proclaimed, and let some sharp objects hit every corner of the body, even if it looks a bit ridiculous .

The plot is bizarre but it is actually quite simple. At the last moment, you find that it is a story of two people who love each other after many times and finally become happy.

At the beginning of the movie, Xiaosai brutally beats a man to death with his bare hands, his brain is on the floor because he had pointed a knife at his girl... He died, he was smoking a cigarette, leaning against the wall, Hand pointing to the crowd. His eyes reminded me of a black leopard, and even if he was about to be trapped, he would not restrain his temperament at all.

Then Xiaosai was released from prison and reunited with Luna. They began to devour each other's bodies without restraint. She said, "You are burnt in the deepest part of my body, with a flat tone." Then the two lie on opposite ends of the bed smoking cigarettes. The match is struck brightly, the smoke is burning, these two shots fill the entire screen exaggeratedly. The two were discussing the brand of cigarettes and each other's past. They could touch each other without looking into each other's eyes.

Sai said, I want to take you to California. Even if it violates parole laws. She screamed in excitement and jumped wildly on the bed. Then, they embark on an endless journey together, wanting to elope. California Route 61, wilderness and day and night.

On the way she heard some news on the radio, all about crime in society, and then suddenly became frightened and unstoppable. She jumped out of the car and shouted: What's wrong with the world! He also jumped down, and they danced wildly by the roadside and hugged. It was as if there were only a few good things left in this world. The road is deserted, there are no plants in the wilderness, and the horizon line shows a wonderful arc in the shot.

They stop at the motel and encounter all kinds of people, hooligans, killers... the bottom of society. She went back to the room, took out a piece of paper, and she said, I have something I must write to you, because I can't say it. He took the piece of paper, which read: I'm pregnant... All she could think about was the past experience, the experience of induced abortion, the pain that remained in the subconscious forever. She said: No matter what, I will want him.

He gave her a pearl necklace, and he said that each pearl represents a reason why I love you. She said: I really want to hear you sing that song "Tenderness Like Water". He said: "But I swear I will only sing this song to my wife...

Sai was jailed a second time for robbery. She wrote to him, I'm glad I saved our baby, she said, it's just that he won't see his father until he is six years old. She wears his pearl necklace.

On the day Sai is released from prison, Luna and the children wait for him, but he refuses to be with them. Luna didn't need a murderer or a robber, he needed a better life...only when he finally collapsed into a coma he figured it all out. He caught up with her, until in the end, he finally sang the song "Tenderness Like Water" for her.

Sai met a kind witch in a coma. The witch asked him, in fact, you love Luna very much. He said, but my heart is wild. Very ridiculous answer. The witch said, this is not the block of love, you should know why you live. He should have known for so many years that he lived for her, and so did she.

This is not an elegant and stylish film. I watched it because I saw its name by chance and I accidentally remembered my past.

    Remember a movie that seemed like a mess, and frankly, David Lynch wasn't my cup of tea.

    After reading it again, Nima made a comment that laughed at me: "I remember watching a bad movie when I was in college. It was played by Nicolas Cage. He would sing love me tender at the end. As a result, I sang it again until I just finished watching it. This song. I knew I had watched it again."
