Chapter 1527 We always believe in the fairy tale and miracle of life
Edward, the Edward who loved telling stories, the Edward who saw how he left through the glass eyes, is finally gone!
Will closed the door. The walk to the phone booth was so long that it seemed to take a lifetime.
Will found a twenty-five-cent coin and started dialing, his eyes blurred with tears.
The call was connected.
Will's voice was hoarse: "Hey!"
This was all he could say before the emotional torrent broke.
He leaned close to the microphone and tried his best to hide his emotions.
The music started playing, Will was waiting at the reception desk, and Sandra and Josephine stepped out of the elevator.
In the guest room, Josephine opened the curtains to let the sunlight in. She took away the quilt from the bed.
Sandra picked out an Edward tie and asked Will to wear it at the funeral. Will was looking for a pair of trousers in the closet to match the borrowed shirt, but unexpectedly found a ribbon! Hanging on it was a "
The key to the city." Will smiled, unable to believe that this key actually existed.
Cemetery, at Edward's funeral.
Will helped his mother get out of the black car. Sandra was calm and calm, not as unable to withstand the blow as expected.
Josephine hugged Dr. Bennett and shook hands with his wife. There were more than two hundred people attending the funeral, more than expected.
An Olds car stopped, and the passengers who got out were blocked by the door, and their faces could hardly be seen. When he closed the door, he saw that the person was Amos Calloway, 70 years old, who was in Edward
The circus owner who appeared in Jenny's stories was unknown to Will, or it was the first time he saw him.
The driver got out of the car. He was Carl. He was 55 years old. Although he was not twelve feet tall, he was at least six feet eight. Will could not imagine that there was such a tall person.
The funeral was about to begin, and Will led his mother to a seat near the tomb.
Next to the tomb are familiar faces, including Beaman, North Winslow, the mayor, and Zachary Price. As time goes by, all of them have grown old.
The funeral was not as sad as people imagined, but they all came, Edward's friends.
After the funeral, people who knew each other talked together. Through everyone's laughter and gestures, the audience could guess that they must be telling stories, telling Edward's story.
Will was watching them too.
"Have you ever heard a joke and forgotten how funny it was because you've told it so many times? But one day, when you hear it again, it suddenly feels refreshing. Do you remember why it was so funny in the first place?
Love it so much.”
Will joined in the conversation and smiled.
A tombstone gradually takes up the entire screen.
There is no sensationalism, no excessive sadness, everything seems natural, as if this is what Edward wants.
The scene cuts again to the Bloom family's backyard. Will, Sandra and Josephine are sitting on the porch together, watching his son play with two little neighbor boys.
Will's son said: "He said he fought a fifteen-foot giant."
The child shook his head: "Impossible."
Will's son turned to Will and asked: "Dad, is that right?"
Will smiled: "Almost."
Will's son was proud: "Look, let me tell you. Even though he is a giant, my grandpa wants to fight with him, because grandpa is not afraid of anything, because he has already seen what he is like in the old woman's glass eyes."
dead......"
Will smiled as his son continued to tell the story. Sandra held Will's hand and listened to the story.
Will's voiceover sounded: "I guess that was my father's last joke. A man tells too many stories, and eventually he himself becomes a story. After his death, the story continues to be passed down."
The last scene of the movie echoes the beginning of the movie.
A fat catfish swims happily towards the camera.
Will's voice replaced Edward's: "He is immortalized in this way!"
The big fish swam past us, making waves.
The movie is over.
However, everyone in the internal screening room was very quiet. No one spoke or clapped.
They are all still immersed in the movie.
This story was so special, so special, that they didn't know how to evaluate it for a while.
"Congratulations, Li, I believe this movie is another miracle!"
"Congratulations, it's a very good film!"
“A very special, very special movie!”
“I haven’t seen such an interesting movie in a long time!”
Everyone congratulated Li Yi one after another. They are all industry insiders, and they are all professionals who have cooperated with Dean Pictures. They can still tell whether "Big Fish" is good or not.
"Thanks!"
Soon the promotional materials for the upcoming film "Big Fish", the new film "Big Fish" by Li, the miracle director from China, who won the Oscar for Best New Director, began to be sent out.
What followed was special screenings by the media and film critics.
"Big Fish" is a rather special movie. Why is it special?
Because this movie can be said to be a subversive of the traditional movie about "father", the movie is also a movie with a bit of magic.
It can be said that before this, there were very few movies of this kind, so it was very fresh for many people.
After the screening started, "Big Fish" unsurprisingly received high reviews.
"In this world, only outside of the people you love, you need to distinguish between the so-called truth and falsehood. There are various opinions about things in life. The so-called truth may be the most boring and unacceptable. And in
People whose lives are painted in the colors of the rainbow deserve respect and trust because of their love."
"My father and mother hugged each other quietly in the bathtub. After my father left, many friends saw him off. These were the two scenes that moved me the most. At this moment, I also know what is most important to me in life.
"
"My father, who lived an ordinary life by making up stories, was still worried about the river he saw in the witch's glass eyeball before he died. His son fulfilled this "lie" for him and gave his father a gratifying gift.
The answer. After his father died, he also became a legend in his story. A story with great vitality and a wild and unrestrained plot, but in the end it turned out to be resistance to ordinary life."
"A warm gothic fairy tale for adults. A big fish, a ring, a giant, a mermaid, conjoined sisters, a werewolf circus director, a poet who wrote three lines in 12 years, a witch who sees death with her glass eyes, hanging on the clothesline
Shoes, a chaotic war, a town that cannot be returned to. The touching ritual of farewell with a smile is like the ending of an underground carnival on an isolated island. Apply a layer of rainbow frosting to the boring life and cold reality, and use a soft light
Filter.”
"You don't have to worry if you know how you're going to die. Because you know nothing else in the world can kill you!"
"A fantasy life that is both true and false, a tender confession between father and son."
"There is no deliberate sensationalism, just an ordinary father living an extraordinary story!"
"Many people say they don't understand this film, many people say it's about a father-son relationship, and many people say they make up fairy tales because the world is difficult. But I think the director is reminding everyone that none of this is fiction, it's all real, and everyone's
Experience is a painting. Some people recall it with a pencil-like mind, while some people recall it with a watercolor-like mind. For example, the red coat worn at the husband's funeral. The reality of each of us is a fairy tale.
.”
"When we were young, we naively believed the fairy tales we read to be true. But why do we no longer want to believe in the beauty of the world when we grow up?"
"The ending is the finishing touch! The scene where all the characters gathered by the river is both real and illusory, but equally touching. In fact, he just processed the people he met in his life. Who doesn't want his life to be...
How about a lively adventure?"
"I don't think I want to use the word touching anymore, because "Big Fish" is really beyond the level of touching. After watching this film, I feel that each of us is actually a person with a story, even if the story
It's as plain as water, but it carries all kinds of things that I can't stop... This movie makes me love life more and the people around me more."
"The plot is wild and unconstrained, the narrative is extremely smooth, and the non-linear structure is fascinating like the story of One Thousand and One Nights. If you don't exhaust your imagination to add color to your memories, how can you survive the anxiety of leaving home and the horror of war?
and economic crisis depression.
The fear of death brought his story to a halt, and was dispelled by the carnival ending composed by his son: This was not only the reconciliation that father and son had been waiting for half their lives, but also the elixir that comforted him in passing away peacefully. The ending made me burst into tears for the first time in a long time——
Before I die, I hope my lover will tell me a fantastic story like a fairy tale.
The story condenses every strange experience in my ordinary life and mentions every interesting person. Everyone gathered together in the woods by the river, laughing and making fun, and spent the last time with me.
A journey. Romantic to death, the best destination for a person who loves romance. I believe there will always be such an elder around us. They also love to tell the story of the adventures in the first half of their lives over and over again. If you are serious
I have listened to every one of his stories, so congratulations, you are lucky, because no one can tell me these stories anymore."
The famous film critic Larry wrote:
"There is no doubt that this is a film full of warmth and metaphors, lamenting the humbleness and greatness of life. While watching this film, countless images, characters, and complexes emerged from my mind, and gradually became associated with the film.
The endings that are both real and illusory are blended together, and finally turn into a big fish, wandering away.
Father is originally a metaphor; everyone may be a father, everyone may be a son; everyone may have glory and dreams, everyone may experience fluttering wings and dormancy; everyone is greedy for small things.
Warmth, everyone longs to be a hero; everyone must face the choice, everyone must face the starting point and the end point we must face.
Reality and illusion, lies and magnificence are just questions posed in the film. How should we face the vast and unknown life?
Knowing the end of death may make people more fearless. The road is long, what is the road? I prefer to understand this metaphor as - we must know clearly what we want. Father does not
He will die in the hands of giants. My father cannot stay in the ghost town. My father must return from the battlefield because that is not his ending. Only by moving towards a preset ending that we firmly believe in can people be strong and invincible.
.
The last twenty minutes of the film are the finishing touch. In these twenty minutes, reality and fairy tales are finally like two threads running towards each other, tightly intertwined. The fireworks finally dissipate, the music of shengxiao has stopped, and I am moved.
It is spotless, like the brilliant stars that have been knocked over on the sky, silently and scorchingly bright.
The core of life is nothing more than this. We all once yearned to be the hero that attracted everyone's attention, the prince who became our princess, the incarnation of justice, and kept triumphant among flowers and cheers. But maybe we can only leave a faint trace in the world.
trajectory, ordinary life, minimal help, and unspeakable debt.
Does the real and concrete sloppy world throw us into the river of triviality? So the doctor will ask the son who is about to become a father, which version of your birth story do you like?
Where there are shadows, there must be light. My father just used his body to block the mottled shadows in his heart, so that people could only see the brilliant fireworks.
It is no longer important whether the father actually saw his death journey. Because we don’t need to discuss the truth and falsehood with love at all. The father finally died in the plot of his son, under the attention of the protagonists in all his stories.
, left this world with a smile.
This is not an ending, but a beginning. It is the opening of those dull lights, and the passing on of the wisdom of life.
The Witch said: You will never catch the biggest fish in the Alabama River.
So, we try, we pursue, we fall, we get up. We climb mountains and ridges, and we escape death. We pass by a woman's warmth and tears, and we pass by our own cowardice and incompetence. We gain nothing, but we are never empty-handed.
In the end we failed, but in the end we were still at ease.
Because we always believe in the fairy tale and miracle of life.
This is an immortal legend.
The brilliance of "Big Fish" lies in the use of an extremely accurate image to capture the characteristics of the spoken medium. Compared to the one-way pattern of roads and wheels, what can bring a sense of freedom and infinite directions better than fish and water?
?Flying and the sky may be comparable, but they are less light and unobstructed. Water, mysterious and translucent water, reflects the elusiveness and changeability of this world. The question we have to face is, do you believe this?
Story? But trust me, the answer is never either/or.
The miracle director from China shows us a different kind of father's love, using magical stories to interpret ordinary life. However, everyone knows that in that ordinary life, there is always something extraordinary.
That is not a story, but an interpretation of magical reality. When we are old and look back on the past, we will find that everything in the past was not so magical and full of magic."
