The movie ended, but the audience couldn't calm down for a long time. These couples came here originally wanting to see a love story but had many different thoughts after watching the movie.
The feeling of this movie is completely different from other movies. Although it is a love movie, what the movie discusses is not a love story but rather the essence of love.
Although the movie is very warm and beautiful, and the love between the two protagonists is also very good, after watching the movie, people have many things on their minds.
There are warm memories and past happiness.
When a couple in the movie theatre runs through their memory, they naturally recall their past happiness, mutual suspicion, and unpleasant embarrassment.
Watching the movie about the grief and regret of a couple after breaking up, the couples are also glad that they have not reached that point.
With the charm of their lover and the confidence in love, they are also thinking about if they really erase their own memory, would they choose their current lover?
Memories are the meaning of life.
For some people, erasing memories in the movie and the following changes were enough to cause these in-depth thoughts.
Of course, at this moment, some people are beginning to wonder whether their love is true love or just temporary comfort and superficial.
Love is something that is difficult to define clearly.
It is not easy to judge whether there is love or whether you have truly fallen in love with someone. But after watching this movie, some people still have feelings and thoughts about their own love.
Of course, there are still some people who have genuinely experienced the grief of love. The original breakup may have been only a temporary pain for them, but when watching the memories of the two people in the movie, they undoubtedly recalled those memories. It also makes people wake up again to those past love pains.
These thoughts are going through people's minds, and people's emotions and thinking are all changing. And after the movie ended, all these thoughts turned into warm applause!
No matter what people are thinking, no one can deny that this movie is excellent. It can arouse people's emotions, make them think about life, and make people find it interesting.
'I think it's a good movie, so why should I say it's not good?'
Generally speaking, movies that like to express profound truths tend to be philosophical. The more profound the truth a movie wants to contain, the fewer people will be able to understand it. People prefer simple and easy-to-understand stories to deep truths. It is difficult for people to like a movie that contains philosophy.
But this movie is completely different. Although the movie has a very profound truth, these truths were not stated in a straightforward manner. The story itself is not very difficult to understand or strange.
The director uses flashback methods and a dreamlike artistic conception to recreate a love story completely. This kind of story is not offensive at all.
Obviously, this movie is very satisfying, and the reviews of the audience after the film was released also prove this.
"This is a very good movie!" Just outside the cinema, when media reporters began to investigate the audience, the audience quickly made their judgments.
"A very profound movie, much more profound than other love movies. The movie directed by Levi is really different from other people's romantic movies and gives people a completely different feeling."
"It's amazing. The movie lasts more than an hour and a half and fully shows all the joys and sorrows of love. I originally thought that the combination of love and science fiction was a not-so-good idea, but now it seems that Director Levi has the ability to film bad themes but create a wonderful feeling."
"Director Levi said before filming that this was an Emily-style movie. I thought at the time that he was going to repeat himself. But I was wrong. This movie is completely different. In addition to the imagination and beauty, the movie is completely different! I was originally a fan of Emily, but now, I can't tell which one I like more."
"It was surprisingly good. I have to admit that at first, I thought the beginning of the movie was cliché, but the rest was amazing. Especially later, when I began to understand that the beginning was their encounter again, I immediately had the urge to change the beginning. Part of me has the urge to watch it again."
"I was very moved, especially the past version of Love. When I watched the movie, I seemed to see myself. I can't guarantee that my love will be great and selfless or that it won't have lies and selfishness, but I still love my lover. Escape is not the answer. Tolerance and trust are everything."
Almost everyone who has watched the movie has praised the movie. Even the most demanding audience had no negative comments about the film.
People are discussing the movie, discussing the bits and pieces about their love in the movie, and also recalling the past of their own love. People are envious of the two protagonists. Even if their memories are erased, true love cannot be erased.
They are also sighing that they finally began to understand tolerance and the most crucial condition for love to become better.
Anyone who has watched the movie will be moved by the beauty of love, the memories of former lovers, the sweetness and despair, warmth and loss in the film.
For the audience, the film is very satisfying.
And like the audience, the media is equally satisfied with this movie.
"A perfect and intellectual film." - Los Angeles Times Magazine.
"A movie that fully reveals the nature of love" - Chicago Post.
"It's not so much about love as it is about philosophy — a magical movie, a magical story" - The New York Times.
"This is a movie that can be used as a teaching material for play structure and editing" - Premiere Magazine.
"A movie full of tension and connotation, warm and heartwarming, and a love story worth remembering" - The Washington Post.
"In a sense, this is the only love movie" - USA Today.
"Clear, deeply rooted, and a great artistic experiment. Levi once again proved his success" - Film Review.
Compared with the comments from the audience, the media pay attention to something more. It's a fantastic love story to the average person, and to the media, it's an amazing movie.
First of all, what surprised the media was the standard of the film - Levi once again proved his ability as a screenwriter and director. The structure of the plot, the level of film editing, and photography are all amazing. Everyone has to admit that this is a very high-level movie.
On the other hand, what attracts more media attention is that Levi is still at the forefront of the times, and his movies still do not fall into clichéd stories. The combination of surrealism and reality is very well done in his films.
These combinations make the media extremely excited.
It's no surprise that Levi has always been known for the excellence of his scripts and the beauty of his films' shots. However, it is amazing that a story with such a flashback structure can be shot very well by him, and the editing is of such a high standard.
Secondly, there is the story Levi constructs. There are many love stories in Hollywood, but how to write these love stories in a touching way is also the most troublesome thing for people.
Some people like to exaggerate, some like twists, and some like to use the difficulties of love to emphasize that love is not easy to obtain.
However, Levi still insisted on his own approach in this movie: details determine everything. For Levi, it is always the details of his movies that determine the quality of a movie.
This is what people need to learn, too. Compared with those movies that deliberately create great and selfless love, this movie is closer to the essence of love. There is no deliberate exaggeration, no deliberate rendering, and even technology is just a means to express the reality of the past.
The protagonists of the story are not perfect, and their love is not exciting. They are no longer young, full of shortcomings, and have various problems. But it is this kind of ordinariness and simplicity that makes more people feel the greatness of the ordinary.
This movie can be said to be a stream of consciousness; it is not coherent, but the truth in the absurdity shines brightly.
Stories that can touch people are often around them.
Therefore, after this movie, people's discussion about the details of the movie has not ended. In the media, various film critics are analyzing the movie. For them, this movie represents too much.
Some people are analyzing the several flashbacks to see how the lines are related to the story. Some are interpreting the deep meanings of the sentences Mary quoted. Some people are listening to the music and analyzing the different origins of the music and their connotations, while others are analyzing the meaning based on the color of Clementine's hair.
"Green is the color of the first time. Green represents love and what Clementine was looking forward to when they met; red is the second color, which represents a positive, optimistic, and infectious person, which is also what Clementine was looking forward to when they met.
The color orange is the sexiest color, representing the merging of love, and it is also the happiest thing for them. At the same time, it is also a traffic warning sign, representing that their love is heading towards an early warning.
Blue is the color of melancholy, represents their separation, and at the same time, it is also the color of loyalty. This color shows that even though Clementine has forgotten the past, she is still loyal to love."
People were discussing these details one after another, and they couldn't stop talking about it and analyzing it.
None of the media will object to this approach: constant analysis of a good movie is the minimum attitude toward a master's work!
