The fissure cannot be bridged

"The various ducts of the bellows used in the absence of wind are installed here, as the absence of wind at sea often occurs; …" - Abbey Chronicle

This sentence hit me and I thought of the "Purple Rose of Cairo" I just watched. I never imagine the sea without wind, just like Tom in "Purple Rose of Cairo", thinking that his hair will never be messy, thinking that sex will always fade out... The setting on the screen and the reality off the screen, both The contrast is so strong that the absurdity of the fiction can be easily recognized. The difficulty is that we are already in "reality". As real people, rather than characters fictionalized by a screenwriter or director on the screen, can we truly feel the distance from "real reality"? Is it possible to bridge the gap with "true reality" caused by ignorance?

Will not. The reality you are in can only be a dimensional projection of the "real reality", and they belong to different dimensions. Tom can only choose to return to the screen, and we can only belong to what we think is real.

But it's not bad.

Ah, how do I play myself well.

    Movies allow us to always maintain a cold parallel with the real world

    The heroine speaks the same as Woody Allen. I wonder if Woody Allen thinks that there is only one kind of love, and there can be many kinds of lovers?

The Purple Rose of Cairo quotes

  • Cecilia's Sister: The one that I liked is "Okay, America!"

    Cecilia: Oh, yeah! I saw that twice. That was great! When she threatens to kill Lew Ayers.

    Cecilia's Sister: I love Lew Ayers looks! Do you think he's married?

    Cecilia: What do you mean married? Are you crazy? Yes, he's married to Ginger Rogers! God! They got married on a boat off the island of Catalina. They live in Beverly Hills and sometimes holiday in Spain. He used to be married to Lola Lane, but, Ginger's better for him. She's so lovely.

  • Cecilia: Ginger used to be married to Jack Culpepper, who I think took out Ruth Chatterton before she married George Brent.
