Remember some offal
The relationship between film and reality is presented in a very meta form, and the Dimensional Wall is broken once again. A romantic avatar ran out of the screen, and the order in and out of the movie was disrupted. From it, we can see that the similarity between the two worlds is the "limitations", both of which are restricted. After the hostess was brought into the movie, the waiter threw away the recipe and started a tap dance. This line "The real ones want their lives fiction, and the fictional ones want their lives real" reminds me of Sagan’s sentence "All wandering lives dream of peace, childhood, and azaleas, just like all peaceful lives Fantasy vodka, bands, and dreams of life and death."
The movie magnifies the romance in life, and the "away" Tom may indeed be a side of the actor Gil's character. Tom is an "incarnation", the incarnation of love. Falling in love with him makes it feel like not falling in love with a person, but in love. Gil and Tom defended their roles almost in unison. It seemed to me that Tom was implying part of Gil's character, but Tom was a purely clean fictional character and Gil was a real person. Tom has the purest love, love at first sight and run away from the screen, and Gil’s feelings for Cecilia, if there is, are mixed with other elements, perhaps because Cecilia recognized that he admires him (actually at this time I guess Gil finally Also fall in love with Cecilia). Between a perfect lover and reality, Cecelia gave up perfection and embraced reality. So far I think it is a good story, but in the end the reality is cruelly cast into disillusionment, the dream is broken, and the scumbag has already taken a plane away. , There are not so many adventures and romances in reality.
But the real ending is actually before the screen. The hostess turned around and walked into the theater with a suitcase alone. From home to the cinema was her real escape, heartbreak and loss slowly melted in front of the warm screen. Although this movie makes people feel the decisive power of reality, you must return to the damn life how to go, but at least you can always go to the front of a theater, which is a hidden space where you can fade out the bad reality. Save your dreams.
So you can't give up the movie.
