Life is always full of surprises.
The same is true in movies.
For example, someone suddenly becomes rich overnight and wins the lottery! Then he fainted while shouting excitedly!
The simplicity of the villagers is also surprising.
After the man fainted, everyone lifted him up. Someone ran into the cinema and shouted loudly, "Someone has won the lottery."
As a result, everyone became a crowd, and even movies could no longer attract them. After all, compared to wealth, movies were always just a source of entertainment for them.
The music of the film becomes exciting and enjoyable.
Well, actually starting from memories, the melody of music is always so pleasant.
Interesting plot happened.
At the qualification examination site, the old man Alfredo also came to take the exam with Duoduo and the others.
As a result, Alfredo, who once claimed to be a fool and an idiot, was really scratched by the test questions!
He even uses his fingers to complete calculations, looking more like a child than an adult.
Duoduo, however, moved his pen as fast as he could and quickly completed his test paper.
Alfredo really couldn't do it. He wanted Duoduo to help him, but Duoduo covered the test paper when he poked his head to peek at Duoduo's test paper.
This made Alfredo even more helpless. He really can't do it, he really can't!
The audience in the theater couldn't help laughing at this scene.
In particular, Alfredo wanted to peek at the test paper of the child next to him, but when the other party found out, he directly blocked it from looking, which made people even more hilarious.
Duoduo is even more happy.
Alfredo said Duoduo was ungrateful, but he really couldn't count it. He was so anxious that he could only bang his head on the table!
Alfredo persevered. After all, he was only familiar with Duoduo here, and he still hoped that Duoduo could help him.
How could this little clever guy miss such a good opportunity? So he took the opportunity to make an exchange. He gave Alfredo a cheat sheet and asked Alfredo to teach him how to play movies as a condition of calling.
Alfredo had no choice but to agree!
Duoduo and Alfredo completed the deal, Duoduo successfully made Alfredo pass the exam, and Alfredo did not break his promise. He began to teach Duoduo how to show movies!
The two stayed together every day, and their relationship became increasingly intimate. Through Alfredo's daily teachings, Duoduo also learned that projectionists are more than just cool as they imagined.
The projectionist is lonely. Alfredo works boringly day after day without any holidays, because he is the only projectionist working here. He gave up his time and carried the spiritual entertainment sustenance of the entire town.
The priest still has to "review" every time a new movie is released, and only he can see the "kissing" scene. Whenever it appears, he will ring the bell and let Alfredo cut it!
Cinemas are still the only place of entertainment for villagers. When they see horrific scenes, they can’t help but cover their eyes...
In order to allow Duoduo to reach the projector, Alfredo specially made a wooden stool for Duoduo.
Parting is always inevitable. Duoduo's classmates are leaving here, and his father is going to work in Germany.
And life is like this, there is laughter and there is inevitably crying.
Duoduo's mother learned that her husband had passed away, and officials notified the widow to register for pension benefits.
When I came out after signing, my mother kept crying. Duoduo and her mother were walking home, with devastated streets on both sides.
The horror of war not only leaves people homeless, but also separates their loved ones.
Sadness is not the main theme of this movie, at least, not in Duoduo's childhood.
And making people forget their sadness is sometimes very simple. It may only take a comedy movie to make people forget their troubles.
In the cinema, no matter what your mood is, you can always be infected by the movie and the people around you while watching the movie, sweeping away the gloom and troubles, and laughing wildly.
This comedy movie is very popular among villagers. The cinema is always overcrowded, and quite a few people stay away because they cannot enter the theater.
Even though it was getting late, they still blocked the door.
In fact, domestic movie fans and media people have discovered that the pace of this "Cinema Paradiso" is really very slow. The story told in detail can be said to not have too many explosive points and no big scenes!
This kind of movie is indeed not suitable for the general public, nor is it for the general public.
But don't forget, this is the Venice Film Festival, and every audience present can't help but be moved by this movie.
No matter who they are, regardless of nationality, every filmmaker grew up watching movies, without exception!
Maybe the movie they watched was different, maybe the way they watched it was different, and the environment was different, but many people were aroused by this movie to have the same original feeling of watching the movie.
For example, movie fans, media people, and directors in China can’t help but recall the initial emotion of watching movies as children.
Maybe in a certain cinema, maybe in an open-air cinema, maybe the movies you watch are different, but the same thing is that you can feel the joy, anger, sadness, or whatever the movie brings. It’s fun!
Many people gathered outside the cinema, but the cinema could not accommodate so many people.
This makes people who have not seen the movie reluctant to leave.
Alfredo stood on the second floor and said to Duoduo with a smile: "Let's let these poor people see the movie!"
Duoduo asked curiously: "Okay, but what should we do?"
Alfredo smiled proudly and said: "Even if you don't trust me, you should believe what you see!"
Alfredo operated the movie projector, slowly moving the movie screen.
Let Duoduo see a magical scene, the picture of the movie appeared on the wall outside, so that everyone can watch the movie outside!
The whole village was in a sensation, and all the spectators were staring at the magical wall.
Someone opened the door from the second floor and came out, but everyone rushed back.
The audience shouted again: "Alfredo, there is no sound!"
Alfredo asked Duoduo: "Should we make them happy?"
Duoduo smiled and nodded: "Yes!"
Alfredo took out the speaker that played the sound and put it on the balcony on the second floor. In this way, the movie had pictures and sounds.
Looking at the people below laughing wildly, Alfredo and Duoduo could feel people's happiness.
And this is their happiness too!
What is extremely ironic is that the priest saw this scene and he seemed very angry. However, when everyone thought he was angry with Alfredo for showing the movie outdoors on his own initiative, the priest actually told the administrator, "Charge half price!"
This can be said to be similar to "getting more money".
Yes, the cinema belongs to the church, so there is nothing wrong with charging money for ticket sales, right?
But it gives people an inexplicable sense of joy when they look at it!
Unfortunately, the villagers were obviously unwilling to buy it. They shouted that the square belongs to everyone!
As a result, the madman who appeared before was sleeping on a stone tablet high up. When he heard this, he immediately got up and shouted: "No, the square is mine! Stop making such a joke, you are simply making me angry!"
Of course, this is just a joke to the villagers.
However, at this moment, the picture suddenly changed. Alfredo was shocked and inexplicable. The movie projector burned. To be precise, the film burned!
Everyone ran away in fear, and soon the huge square was deserted, and the audience in the cinema also ran out. Only him, Alfredo ran back and kept putting out the fire, looking like that. Yu's instinctive rescue was to save the career he had loved all his life.
Alfredo was trapped in the fire and his life was in danger; everyone ran out desperately, but Duoduo, who was still a child, risked his life and rushed into the fire in the opposite direction. He looked for Alfredo. At that moment, he wanted to use his thin body to drag up the unconscious and injured old man. But he was too young and couldn't drag him away. He was so anxious that he cried for help, but he didn't want to abandon Alfredo.
The movie theater burned down, and Alfredo lost both his eyes and his job in the fire!
Many villagers stood in front of the burned-out Cinema Paradiso, sighing in sympathy, "Poor Alfredo!"
The priest was also a little sad: "What should we do? We have no entertainment anymore! Where can we get the money to rebuild? Who has such money to rebuild?"
At this time, the man who won the lottery before took over the theater, renovated it, gave it a new look, and introduced new equipment to make the film less likely to catch fire again.
Xiao Duoduo also learned from Alfredo and became a projectionist, as if a new era had arrived.
In fact, the burned down theater and the rebuilt theater are not metaphors for the past of an era and the coming of a new era?
Because the dilapidated Cinema Paradiso was originally controlled by the church, even the content shown had to be censored by the priest. In the film, lust is condemned by the priest, and all kissing and intimate scenes are banned. Projectionist Alfredo followed the priest's bell and took out the scissors and cut out these "restricted" shots one by one.
But after the businessman rebuilt the cinema, it was obvious that he would no longer let the cinema belong to the church! Instead, it evolved into a normal business.
Alfredo lost his eyes and his job, but he got another continuation of his life - Little Duoduo carried all the rest of his life.
Duoduo put on a small suit and tie and became the new projectionist!
However, Hollywood blockbusters swept in, and not a single cut was made. The delicate bodies of Hollywood actresses bloomed on the screen again and again. People off the screen bowed their heads and their desires reached the boiling point across the screen.
Even the priest couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
And this scene also touched many people's minds, because it seemed like this was the golden age of Cinema Paradiso, but in fact it was also the beginning of its complete degeneration. Because desire (harmony) completely evolves into pleasure. Castration and censorship were replaced by catharsis and pleasure, moving from confinement to the other extreme.
Alfredo came to the screening room with the support of his wife. He came to see Duoduo.
A big hug and a small hug! It seems to be passing on, and it seems to be continuing.
Alfredo asked with concern: "How is studying?"
Duoduo replied: "Very good, but I'm working now, so I don't need to go to school, right?"
After hearing this, Alfredo shook his head and said, "No, Duoduo, you can't do this. You must go to school, otherwise you will regret it!"
Duoduo asked in confusion: "Why?"
Alfredo replied: "It means, this is not a real job. Now Cinema Paradiso needs you and you also need Cinema Paradiso, but all this is only temporary. You can't stay like this for the rest of your life! One day you will be exposed to Something else! Something more important, something quite important!"
Alfredo touched Duoduo's face: "Although I have lost my eyesight, I can see more clearly and see things I haven't seen before!"
"Thank you for saving my life. I will never forget it. Don't look like this..." He patted Duoduo's face, which had grown up.
Yes, when Alfredo's hand touched Duoduo's face, he moved his hand away, and time seemed to pass by for many years in that moment. Duoduo had grown up from a little kid to a great boy!
In fact, for Duoduo, Alfredo played a very important role in Duoduo's happy youth, and at the same time, he became his guide on the road to growth.
Duoduo has grown up! He was also a film projectionist, but he followed Alfredo's advice and did not give up his studies.
He tried to shoot things with a camera. Then, he ushered in his first love, er, should I say secret love, and fell in love with the banker's daughter Elena.
The grown-up Duoduo is no longer the Duoduo he was as a child. The innocence and aura he had as a child have been wiped out by the years. He learned to be sad, to be stubborn, and to be hurt. When he first met a girl he liked, Alfredo persuaded Duoduo that his talent in movies was extraordinary and that he should not be trapped in this small town for the rest of his life, only staying in a small screening room. Repeat work every day.
At the same time, he was not optimistic about him and Elena, which made Duoduo very angry.
So Alfredo told Duoduo a story, a story about waiting.
A story about a soldier and a princess: The king's guard fell deeply in love with the princess. Later, he finally had the opportunity to confess his love to the princess. The princess told the guard that if he could stay under the princess's balcony for a hundred days and nights, the princess would love him. May. 10 days, 20 days... No matter the wind or rain, or mosquito bites, the guards insisted on waiting under the princess's balcony. On the 90th day, the guards became weak and pale. All this was seen in the eyes of the princess. But on the 99th day, the soldier left...
"Don't ask me what I mean, tell me when you figure it out!" Alfredo said.
Many young people don’t understand it, and in fact, many viewers who are watching the movie for the first time don’t understand it either.
But now it should be clear what this story means: the soldier spent 99 days proving his love, and the last day showed his dignity!
The guard took 99 steps, leaving 1 step for the princess. If the princess cannot take this step, it means that the princess has no feelings for the guards at all, and being touched can never be exchanged for love. The importance of this step is self-evident.
But Duoduo still confessed his love to Elena, and they made a private decision for life in the movie screening room!
As young people, we will never give up easily, even if we know that we are wrong. We should use our own actions to practice this story, even if we know that the ending is sad.
Sure enough, what happened next was a common scenario. Elena's family was wildly opposed. After all, there was a class gap. Duoduo was just a projectionist, while Elena was the daughter of a banker...
In fact, why Alfredo doesn't think highly of Duoduo and Elena is because he knows that the gap between their identities is too big.
Therefore, when Duoduo decided to elope with the girl that night, no one thought that it was Alfredo who stopped them. He deliberately let the lovers go their separate ways. Alfredo was blind, but his heart was so clear.
Duoduo, who comes from a poor family, fell in love with a banker's daughter. He could only pursue this love in ninety-nine steps, but in the end he could only end it. The last step is to leave your own dignity and dreams.
Maybe this is what Alfredo wants to tell Duoduo!
Duoduo's first love ended when Elena went to Paris to study.
Duoduo went to serve in the military, and Elena went to Paris.
The camera switches again, Duoduo is in the barracks, with only a letter from his mother...
Many people saw this and thought he was heartbroken, and Duoduo himself thought so too.
After the military service ended, Duoduo returned to the small town, but unfortunately, things had changed. Alfredo told Duoduo, "Don't stay here, go to Rome!" '
Alfredo, who is blind, persuades Duoduo to leave: "Everyone is looking for their own happy star. Living here day after day, you will think that this is the center of the world, and things will not change. But. If you leave for a year or two and come back, everything will have changed. The thread will be broken, and you will find that everything has changed and everything that belongs to you has disappeared..."
"Life is different from movies, life is much harder, leave here and go to Rome! You are so young, the world is yours! Go out and make a living, don't come back before I die, don't call, don't write. I don't want to be here Talk to you, I want to hear others talk about you! Don't give up because of homesickness, forget about us, work hard, just like you loved the projector as a kid, no matter what you end up doing, love it! If you don't achieve anything, don't come back! "
In fact, Alfredo could not leave the town all his life. He did not want Duoduo to continue to repeat his life. He kept guiding Duoduo to leave here. He planted his unfulfilled ideal as a seed in the small town. On Duoduo.
In real life, if anyone has such a guide who is both a teacher and a friend, then he is really lucky. You and I come to this world and get to know each other only by fate. If we have another chance, we can warm each other's lives, leave some stories, and plant some inspirations.
Lots of first loves and unrealistic longings are like those films. Alfredo once told Duoduo: They are your things, but you have to keep them here. So Alfredo artificially blocked the news between Duoduo and Elena, ended Duoduo's first love, drove Duoduo away from his leisurely life on the island, and forced him to fly farther and higher in the sky.
The train left and gradually faded away...
