Chapter 1,663: Running in both directions, a unique tacit understanding
After watching the entire short film, everyone has a feeling that they still have something to say but have endless aftertaste.
The design of this short film is really clever.
The key point is that those short films in the past have always looked at form rather than spirit. After all, they are just short films. How can they show something thought-provoking in such a short period of time?
But this time, Li Yi's short film makes people can't help but think about it carefully.
The more I think about it, the more I feel the sweetness from the inside out. Of course, there is also a hint of irony.
"The gift of the Magi, so it is, so it is!"
Larison said with a look of amazement.
Everyone looked at Larison.
Larison sighed: "You may not be so familiar with why you give gifts at Christmas, but in fact, the origin of the earliest Christmas gifts comes from MAGI! That is the meaning of Magi in your Chinese translation."
"The gift of the Magi actually refers to a story in the Bible. The Magi refers to the Three Eastern Sages. The Bible records that when Jesus was born, the Magi, the Three Eastern Sages, brought gifts to Jesus.
"
"Li is really awesome!" Larison couldn't help but exclaimed again.
Others were also a little surprised. I have to say that this short film is indeed surprising.
Especially in the film, both husband and wife think about each other and do not hesitate to sell their most cherished things to buy a beloved Christmas gift for each other. This is the main content of the entire story. Christmas Eve is also the background of this story.
The title of the film "The Gift of the Magi" is a metaphor and a symbol. A sage is a wise and capable person.
When two people devote themselves wholeheartedly to each other, the act of giving gifts and the sincere, pure and touching love embedded in the gifts are the most precious and priceless.
Although both of them seemed a bit clumsy and silly, one cut off his hair and bought a watch chain, while the other sold his watch chain and bought a set of combs.
As a result, these two carefully prepared gifts were useless.
But according to domestic parlance, this kind of love is called tacit understanding and pure mutual understanding. When they bought gifts, they actually didn't think about anything else at all. They just wanted to give their lover a special Christmas.
gift, and both of them chose to give it their all.
But it turned out to be a mistake. The watch was sold and the watch chain was no longer needed. The hair was cut off. Although it could still grow back, the set of combs could no longer be used in the same short period of time.
.
But the dedication and love the two have for each other is extremely touching.
They all look silly, and their efforts are useless, but they make people feel like their souls have been cleansed.
In today's increasingly impetuous world, this kind of love seems so precious.
At this moment, no one thought there was anything wrong with having Li Yi's short film screened as the finale of the awards ceremony.
This short film doesn't seem to have many bells and whistles, and the creativity seems to be very ordinary, but it makes people feel a lot.
This ending looks a bit sad, but it also makes me sigh with emotion.
The reality is often like this, the so-called unobtainable is always in turmoil. It is precisely because of today's impetuous society that everything is material and utilitarian, which makes this kind of pure and unreserved love seem so rare and so...
It’s so moving…
It’s finally time for the awards ceremony and closing ceremony of the Penguin Cup Global Internet Love Themed Short Film Festival.
After the award ceremony, "The Gift of the Magi" was officially screened.
For many people, the final short film is directed by Li Yi, so it is naturally worth looking forward to.
"Gift of the Magi"
"Director Li Yi's work!"
Similar to the reaction when watching the film before, many viewers did not have any special feelings about the name of this short film.
In other words, the title of the film seems really ordinary.
The beginning of the short film also made some viewers who had high expectations for Li Yi's final short film seem a little disappointed.
This is not to say that the short film was not well shot. In fact, from the perspective of the picture, the acting skills of the actors, and the quality of the short film, "The Gift of the Magi" appears more professional. The shooting techniques and other aspects are not comparable to those of a great actor like Li Yi.
What the director shot is almost like a movie.
But creatively, it's quite disappointing.
"Is the dog director trying to sell his dog meat? I bet you 50 cents, this ending will definitely lead to a certain shampoo brand!"
"Betting on yarn, gambling and drug addiction are sworn in, but this hair photo is really no worse than a shampoo commercial!"
"It doesn't matter if it's a commercial. Although the original "I Can Type" was a commercial, it was still classic enough!"
"Do you think this creativity can be compared with "I Can Type"?"
Fans at the award ceremony couldn't help but complain in low voices.
But when the suspense was revealed, the scene was filled with exclamations of surprise.
It can be said that for "The Gift of the Magi", if the heroine spent all her money and sold her beloved hair in exchange for funds to buy gifts, then this short film, as they imagined, would indeed fall into a cliché.
But when the final answer to the mystery was revealed, and when husband Jim took out the set of combs he bought, everyone had goosebumps.
What does it mean to have a clear mind?
What is the tacit understanding of love?
One-sided giving and one-way going, and two-sided giving and two-way going are two completely different feelings.
Della and Jim's devotion to each other, their pure love, and their unreserved tacit understanding of giving each other the best have amazed countless movie fans.
Because of this ending, it can be said that many people are very unhappy and feel that it is not perfect, but it cannot be more perfect.
This is a very strange feeling.
But a story that originally seemed so ordinary was sublimated at that moment.
And it has been sublimated more than once.
The first sublimation was when the husband took out the set of combs he bought. The second sublimation was when the husband said in an understatement that the gold watch was sold and he used the money to buy gifts.
"Awesome!"
"As expected of a dog director!"
"Awesome, my dog director!"
"Maggie's gift, it seems that the heroine is not named Maggie?"
"Is there any mystery behind it?"
For a time, everyone was discussing and discussing.
At the same time, "The Gift of the Magi", which was launched on Penguin, also attracted countless viewers.
After reading it, there were countless comments.
"I was very upset at first, especially when I saw Della being so uneasy. She spent her favorite long hair to buy a gift for her husband, but she was worried that her husband would be angry after seeing it. It felt really humble. But
When I saw the end, I burst into tears. Her efforts were worth it, because the person she loved also loved her in the same way!"
"This is the best love short film I have ever seen, bar none!"
"I feel so sad for that beautiful, shiny brown hair!"
