On June 14, 2016, it was nearly two years since I watched "Begin Again" for the first time. However, my mood was very complicated, and all I watched were pictures of different people. Every familiar melody played in the play can outline the white clouds of that summer, the clear blue sky, the RER platform covered with sunshine, and the touch of the breeze. I vaguely remember waiting on the platform for the train to Little Paris. The promotional poster of "New York Melody" was placed in front of me. I pulled him to the poster and said, "If you want to see this, let's watch it together.
" Summer, 2014, Paris, France.
The first movie I watched with him was "Captain America 2". At that time, I was still a friend who talked about everything. "Spider-Man" was the second movie, and it didn't take long for them to get together. After that, I met UGC to get a movie card for a discount, filled out the form together, handed in the RIB, and took a photo. The two of them got one each and paid 20 euros a month to watch movies casually, so I spent most of the entertainment time in the future. All accompanied by UGC. The first movie I saw after getting the card was Lucy, but I can't remember New York Melody being the first movie we watched together.
Yes, "Begin Again" was called "New York Melody" when it was released in France.
Keira Knightly, her small and fresh voice blurs my memory. In my impression, it should be Elizabeth Swann. I have also forgotten the existence of Elisabeth Bennet. Maybe she took the Black Pearl and passed through the magnificent Darcy. Manor, I followed her from Paris to New York. In New York, her name is Greta, and her beloved is Dave.
The most impressive thing is that Greta turned around in tears and left silently, leaving behind DAVE and his stage, as well as his enthusiastic fans, and Dave also looked at the corner where she disappeared in tears. At the end of the play, I cried with Greta and Dave, and at the moment when Greta turned and walked away, even though Dave was still alive in her heart, she understood what he was after and what she was after, like two infinitely extending lines. The straight lines meet at one point by chance and then start anew.
Then he bought the movie soundtrack on iTunes, and I listened to it for a summer, on an infinite loop. Whenever I hear the songs in the album, the scenes of that summer are like switching slideshows, and the scenes are played in my mind, the cherry tree in front of the door, the parking lot in front of the station, the train slowly entering the station, the warm sunshine, the blue sky The sky, the delicate flowers, and him by my side...
I think of the scene in the kitchen, Dave brought back a new song from Los Angeles, Greta listened and the smile on her face gradually disappeared, the lyrics clearly recorded Someone who wasn't him slapped Dave in the face. At the time he was sitting on my left, and he didn't react, leaned over and asked me why I broke up, and I said Dave had a new love. Dave has a new love and gives up on Greta.
I watched the scene in the kitchen, Dave brought back a new song from Los Angeles, Greta listened as the smile on her face faded, the lyrics clearly recorded a person who was not me, be surprised, nervous, angry , slaps Dave across the face, and I can clearly hear something smashed to the ground. But he didn't come any more.
In the kitchen scene, Dave brought back a new song from Los Angeles with the lyrics:
I don't know if I'm fool's getting this all wrong
That's the dream too simple, perfect girl the perfect song
All I know is I can keep on wearing Lister's guy
When you're the only one that seeds what's read in my eyes
Yeah take me to another space, and time
Yeah take me to a higher place
So I'm bout to get out of other ways, I don't mind
You're all I know that everything's nothing to find I have
you Greta lost the meaning of staying in New York, and I lost my way in the big Paris. Once Dave was on Greta's right, he was on my left, Greta came to New York for Dave and I stayed in Paris for him. At that moment, I, like Greta, wanted to escape from this place of change.
In the end, he left Paris and went to another long-awaited city to continue his studies. I slowly recovered and continued to stumble in the same place for a few days. After a few days, I also left this city that I could not lose in my life. Although I haven't been able to shine like Greta, I think maybe he's on the way to find his soul, so I still have to keep starting over in frustration.
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark.
