After finding a place to sit down, Elizabeth looked around and complained, "It's all your fault. I didn't choose this movie, and I have to wait for several minutes."
Eric handed the popcorn and Coke to the girl and said, "It's something you want to watch on a whim. It's better to wait a few minutes than to watch halfway through, and this movie is very good."
"Have you seen it?" Hearing Eric's comment, the girl asked.
Eric nodded: "That's right."
The girl gave him a blank look: "What does it mean? If it is, it is not."
Eric ignored the girl's robbing, he couldn't say that he had seen it in his previous life. Speaking of which, when the movie was released, Eric also specifically asked Nicole to watch the movie and figure out Meg Ryan's acting style.
However, sitting here at this time, while thinking about it a few minutes before the opening of the movie, Eric found a very interesting thing.
The screenwriter of "When Harry Met Sally" is a female screenwriter named Nora Ephron. Although this female screenwriter and director 〖≯ has produced many very successful works, her reputation is very low. For movie fans, when it comes to her works, people usually think of the actors and actresses in the movies, but no one realizes that she is the director and screenwriter.
Of course, these aren't all that interesting. What Eric found was, at least in the works of Nora Ephron he had seen. The heroines all have a very common characteristic-sweetness.
Meg Ryan was awarded the title of America's Sweetheart. It is because of Nora Ephron's "When Harry Met Sally". In Nora Ephron's other works, the heroine is endowed with the attribute of 'sweetness'. In addition to Meg Ryan, the glamorous Nicole Kidman became sweeter because of "The Fairy Witch", and the plain-looking Lisa Kudrow became sweeter in "The Ghost Within", even Even Meryl Streep was sweetened in one of Nora Ephron's early "Heartfire."
From the heart, it is estimated that this female screenwriter is a little woman deep in her heart, so she bestows the same attribute on many actors with completely different styles.
The lights in the auditorium were turned off, after the silent subtitles. The most distinctive point of this movie appears in the camera. The gray-haired old couple recalls to the camera how they got together many years ago.
Although the old couples in the camera are actors, the stories they tell are all real materials obtained by the screenwriter Nora Ephron from interviewing real couples. Eric listened with gusto, but Elizabeth next to him was a little puzzled: "Eric, what's going on?"
"Don't worry, take your time."
While speaking, the camera has switched to the campus of the University of Chicago, where the young male and female protagonists who are about to enter the society meet for the first time. As they carpool to New York, they cling to their outlook on life. They were chattering and arguing with each other along the way, and no one could convince the other. Swaying each other's last trace of youthful frivolity, they finally broke up unhappy.
Five years later, they met again, the heroine found a lover, and the hero was about to get married. Maybe they feel that their life is about to be complete. At this time, a person is always the most peaceful and tolerant, so they try to get in touch, thinking that maybe they can become friends.
After another five years, the male protagonist divorced and the female protagonist broke up. Under the teasing of the god of fate, the two people who had fallen into the sky met again and became real good friends, at least they thought so.
This time, Time was no longer running away in a hurry, and started jogging. As the time spent together got longer, they became friends who talked about everything, and introduced their best friends to each other thoughtfully, trying to piece together two pairs of marriages. They succeeded, at least half of the success. Their best friends successfully made up a couple, met each other, knew each other, fell in love with each other, and were about to get married. While sending blessings, the stubborn men and women still insist on their own persistence, thinking that since they want to be friends from the beginning, they should not destroy this relationship.
Misunderstandings, or dry firewood, more likely to be a matter of course, all in all, going to bed is inevitable. Although they woke up early in the morning, they began to panic, began to worry and avoid each other. On the lonely and noisy New Year's Eve, the hero finally couldn't help confessing his love, and then kissed passionately in tears.
The camera finally stays on the classical style sofa, and what they are doing is no longer the gray-haired old couple, but the married couple, chattering and narrating, of course, disputes are indispensable.
Twelve years and three months, the good youth burnt out, and a new wife.
The lights are on, let's go.
In the crowded crowd, the men and women watching the movie seemed to have become Siamese twins, sticking together and whispering to each other as they walked out. There were even many men and women still staying in their seats and kissing as if no one was there.
Elizabeth was holding a bucket of popcorn that she had only eaten a few mouthfuls of. After being bumped by passers-by a few times, she finally approached Eric. She had nothing to say: "This movie is very good."
"Yeah, the shots taken by the director are very good, especially the description of the seasons, the scene of Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan in the woods, the shots are beautiful, the maple leaves are like life It blooms unscrupulously and gorgeously at the last moment of another reincarnation. Oh, and the eyes, I don’t know if it’s intentional or not, we can always find the clear and clear eyes of the protagonists. You know, the eyes are the windows of the soul. The words are not just words, through these shots, a lot of emotions can be conveyed to the audience unconsciously, maybe I can use it more in my own movies in the future... "
Walking out of the cinema, hearing Eric still chattering about his own analysis, the girl suddenly became very angry for some reason, and threw most of the bucket of popcorn in her arms into the trash can vigorously, making a thud A loud noise attracted the attention of passers-by, and at the same time stopped Eric, who was still explaining.
"Eh..." Seeing the girl's actions, Eric shrugged, and didn't say any more to make fun of himself.
After getting into the car, seeing the girl wearing her seat belt silently, Eric confirmed it and said, "Are you going to Julia's place?"
"Well," Elizabeth nodded, and said again: "It's still far from Julia's place, why don't you drive to your place first, and I'll drive back when you get off the car, anyway, you definitely don't have only one car, right? Just change to another one and go to work tomorrow.”
"No problem," Eric calculated the distance and found that it was the most convenient, so he started the car without any objection.
It took more than 30 minutes to reach the gate of Eric's mansion, and the girl who always liked to chatter and ask questions abnormally did not say a word.
"So, see you tomorrow?" Eric stopped the car and unfastened his seat belt.
"Huh..." Elizabeth snorted softly, staring at Eric, as if she wanted to sweep this nasty man down with her eyes.
The atmosphere was deadlocked for a few seconds. Eric turned off the engine and turned off all the car lights. He groped in the dark and reached out to pinch the girl's sharp chin: "Well, do you think this will work?" (Pie in the sky Good event, cool mobile phone is waiting for you!
