The Best Director

"I've never told anyone this before."

Summer fell in love with Tom, and she finally took him to her residence. Tom entered her world, a world that few people could enter. Summer wanted him to come in, him, not others. She began to tell Tom some stories that were not told casually, but could only be heard by qualified people. Tom was curious if anyone else had been here, and Summer's words made him understand something. He said : "I guess I'm not an 'other'."

So what is he? Tom couldn't think clearly, so he could only explain to his best friend: "We are adults, and we know how we feel. The Holy King of the Martial Universe, the Holy King, the Holy King, the Night Kill God, the Divine Seal Throne, the Demon King, the Most Powerful Abandoned Young Master in the Nine Heavens, the Great Zhou Royal Family General Seek the throne of the God of Night Kill, the most powerful abandoned young man in the Nine Heavens, the most powerful and abandoned young man of the Great Zhou royal family. The powerful general of the world, the Night Kill God, seek the throne of the Divine Seal of the Night Kill God. We don’t need to put those labels, like ‘boyfriend’ and ‘girlfriend’. These are too childish.” He did not think that the two best friends were love experts who were desperate. Tom approached Rachel, the dog-headed military counselor, and said, "Obviously, you are just afraid that the answer is not what you want, and it will shatter all the illusions you have had for months." He decided to ask clearly.

"What kind of situation are we in?" On the big screen, Tom and Summer were driving to the cinema. Faced with his sudden question, Summer kept a smile on her face: "I don't know... who cares? I'm very happy. Aren't you happy?" Tom immediately replied with a smile: "Happy."

"That's right!" Summer laughed a few times, blinked her eyes a few times, smiled and leaned on Tom's shoulder, pushed his head, and played with his ears. Tom laughed happily and stopped talking. Continuing this topic, Summer looked a little disappointed.

Tom is such a fool! I don’t know how many of the same silent curses were heard in 3351 North American theaters. Listening to the slightly melancholic soundtrack and watching the car drive into the dark tunnel, many viewers felt helpless and helpless. Rachel could also see it. Out of Summer's panic and nervousness, she said something that was against her will and tried to attract attention, but Tom thought that was the end of the matter, just like when they broke up in the restaurant, Summer wanted him to confess, but he didn't know.

"It would have been fine as long as we made it clear." Rachel had already been involved in the screen story and couldn't help but feel sorry for Tom and Summer. Why can't people who love each other get together?

Sometimes Tom just needs more courage; and Summer has not fully understood her own heart, and has been disappointed again and again, which has cooled her feelings for Tom. "Really? That was for me!? Then don't do that next time, I don't need your help!" After Tom had a violent conflict with someone in the bar, they had a quarrel when they returned to Summer's residence. When she got up, Tom said that he got into a fight because she was being teased, but Sam felt that he, who had been silent all this time, got angry because he was laughed at by the guy who hit on her and said, "I can't believe he is your boyfriend."

A big screen split into two halves with different images,

Tom and Summer, who had been quarreling on the left and right, were lying on the bed in their respective residences, looking at the phone on the bedside in silence, waiting for the other party to call. Tom picked up the phone several times and put it down again, covering his head on the pillow.

"Don't fight, don't fight..." Jessica muttered nervously silently; "Come on! Fight!" Rachel also muttered nervously silently, along with countless spectators; "This bastard." Helen She slowly took a deep breath to calm down her unspeakable emotions. She was so stupid to pick up the phone and wait so stupidly...

In the middle of the night when the rain was pouring, the doorbell rang suddenly. Tom got up without expression, got dressed and went to open the door. It was Summer! She came forward to apologize.

"I'm sorry." Summer was a little worried about his angry look, but Tom looked condescending and arrogant. At this time, neither of them wanted to lose each other. Tom sighed in annoyance, "Well, we don't need labels, that's fine, I get it, but you know I just need some stability, and I never knew you might wake up one morning and suddenly feel ...has changed." Summer said in a rare gentle tone: "I can't give you this guarantee, no one can." She gently stroked his forehead where he was hit: "Does it hurt? I'm sorry. I like you. …”

The conflict seemed to be resolved, and then the auditorium burst into laughter from time to time, especially when watching Tom and Summer doing stupid things together. However, the atmosphere of the story inevitably enters the stage of broken love and heartbreak. After losing Summer, Tom is in a mess both in life and work. He can't even write the greeting cards he is good at. When he was passionately in love with Summer, he was so... His inspiration is endless, she is his muse, and now, from writing happy greeting cards to sad condolences.

"I hate Summer, I hate her rough short hair, I hate her duck-like voice, I hate her bumpy knees... I hate this song!!"

On the once extremely romantic tram, Tom, who was wearing an earphone, roared like crazy, his eyes blazing with murderous rage. Everyone on the car was frightened. When they arrived at the stop, the black driver said with a serious expression: "Young man, you have to get out of the car."

"Oh my God!" Except for the secretly happy Yanghei, audiences all over North America couldn't laugh. They really couldn't stand it, watching a lovelorn movie before Christmas! Will it be okay in the end? It will be a Hollywood ending! ? Kelly silently shouted: "We must!" Rekindled hope will come soon! After many months of trying hard to forget Summer, Tom and Summer, who had resigned for a long time, met on the train because they went to Los Angeles to attend the wedding of a company colleague. The two laughed, danced and reminisced about the past. She seemed to be back with him, and everything seemed unchanged. Summer invited him to the party again. Tom was full of expectations, and so were the audience.

With the split screen technique, the left half is what Tom expected, and the other half on the right is the reality. He expected that Summer would hug him and kiss him when he opened the door and compliment him on his handsome clothes. In reality, she only gave him a small hug. Hug; he expected that his gift of architecture books would surprise and intoxicate Summer, but in reality she thanked her very politely; he expected that he and Summer would have a pleasant conversation at the rooftop dining table, but in reality...

"Tom, what do you do?" Summer's female friend asked him with interest, and Tom replied: "I write messages for greeting cards." Summer explained: "If Tom is willing, he will be a great person. Architect." Now Summer's friend was surprised: "It's weird, I mean, how could you give up being an architect?" Tom explained: "My idea is...instead of doing those one-off things, Like architecture; why not make something timeless, like greeting cards, what do you think? Haha!"

Tom giggled to himself, but got no response from others. No one laughed, and Summer just smiled.

"Hey! Who would think it would be better to write a greeting card?" Claire looked at the rapt audience around her, thinking that a few of them would say "YES". This highlighted Tom's immaturity and his inability to give women a sense of security. However, The biggest problem is that he is obviously fascinated by architecture, but he does not dare to pursue his true inner thoughts, and chooses to muddle along writing greeting cards, just like his previous relationship with Summer.

As the melancholy soundtrack gradually grew louder, Tom looked forward to having an intimate relationship with Summer and officially re-engaging; in reality, he was left aside, and suddenly saw Summer wearing a sparkling diamond ring, happily asking her friend Showing...disillusionment!

"Oh!" There were sighs of surprise in the screening room, and the last glimmer of hope disappeared. Evelin opened her mouth wide, Linda opened her mouth wide... Oh my God! They're totally screwed!

Tom was stunned on the big screen. He quickly fled from the rooftop in a daze, ran down the stairs and left the apartment building. He came to the dead street and stood dejectedly. Summer was getting married? ...The entire colorful world gradually faded into black and white pencil drawings along with his sadness and loneliness. It was dark and blurry. The gradually blurred street scenes, the gaps and shadows and other lines formed a dead blue bird, symbolizing the disillusionment of ideals. , the dead bluebird who lost his innocence.

"Awesome!" Film critics were full of praise. The film's artistic work is very delicate. This black and white hand-painted scene not only highlights the texture, but also fully expresses Tom's frustration. It skillfully highlights the story and performance, and even more A sharp contrast to the previous surreal singing and dancing scenes.

Not only this final eclipse, but the split screen just now subtly contrasts Tom's mood gap, depicting the fall, depression, sadness, and pain, and even a little cruelly. When the expected scene Shrinking until it disappears, it's hard for the audience not to feel Tom's heartbreak at this moment.

From the cartoon hand-drawing of "Juno", the pseudo-documentary interview footage of "District 9", to the surreal special effects of "The Hangover", the sharp editing of "T-21-TEAM", "The Devil Wears Prada" The split screen... If "Firefly" gave up those fancy camera techniques and shocked people with the absolutely unimaginable power of the picture, Magic Young once again played enough in "500 Days with Summer" and used all the skills in the past. They all come here in droves, so proficient and at ease.

"Liar! We are all damn liars, think about it! Why do people buy these greeting cards? It's not because they want to say these things, it's because they can't or dare not say what they want to say. We provide services Gotta get them out of this, you know?! This is bullshit!"

Tom exploded! At the company's discussion meeting, he suddenly sarcastically criticized his boss, colleagues, and the greeting card itself. Listening to his words, the audience fell silent, right? Sometimes it is.

"It's these cards, movies, pop songs..." Tom took a few breaths, his eyes were still red, and he looked at his colleagues with a trembling voice: "They should be responsible for all the lies, heartache, fantasy , and everything, made up for them... We are responsible, and I am responsible! I think we are doing bad things, and everyone should express their feelings by themselves. Asking for the throne of the Demon Arrogant Ninth Layer Heaven, the most powerful and abandoned young master. The Royal Family of Great Zhou will kill the god and seal at night. Asking for the throne of the Demon and Arrogant Ninth Layer Heaven, the strongest and abandoned young master. The royal family of the Young Zhou Dynasty created a god general and killed the god in the night. He asked for the throne of the divine seal and asked for the devil to be proud of the ninth level of the world. The most powerful abandoned young man in the sky, the great Zhou royal family will kill the god and the divine seal throne at night, begging for the devil to be proud of the world, the ninth level of heaven, the strongest abandoned young prince, the great Zhou royal family will use force to move the world, and the night will kill the god and the divine seal throne, begging for the devil to be proud of the world, the ninth level abandoned young man, the great Zhou royal family will create The God General killed the God Seal Throne at night and begged the Demon Arrogant Ninth Layer, the strongest abandoned young master, the Zhou Royal Family, instead of letting those strangers say it for them, just like 'love'..."

Under the 360-degree rotating panoramic camera, Vince, Mickey and others at the conference table were either stunned or expressionless. Tom suppressed his emotions and said calmly: "That will be of no value. Sorry, sorry, I quit. That's it." He pointed to the greeting cards on the table: "There's enough bullshit in this world, and I don't need to make any more of it." With that, he turned and left.

"Go get a room? Really." Tom was walking on the street during the day in a bathrobe and pajamas. He looked slovenly, decadent and depressed. When he saw a couple walking by, he taunted him. Naturally, he didn't get any good looks. "Haha." He shook his head and smiled, then continued walking forward, suddenly singing "Here-es-ur-Man" unscrupulously: "de-theres-a-ar-ng! de-the-ly -stew!..." All the passers-by on the street looked at this crazy guy.

As the high-pitched and loud singing gradually turned into tears, the camera switched to show Tom punching a black sandbag in the apartment. He was sweating from the beating and was panting like an ox. He didn't know whether it was because he was unable to punch or because he was out of breath. He paused in a daze, but the sandbag suddenly bounced back and hit him, "Ah——!" He roared out of control and pushed the sandbag several times with all his strength. He was almost unsteady, and then suddenly He rushed to the kitchen, brought back a handful of fruits, and dug into the sandbags, just like Sid dug into Nancy, breaking her body and heart...

"Here-es-ur-man, Here-es-ur-man..."

Who is Sid? Who is Nancy? The sand and sawdust in the sandbag fell to the ground. Tom stopped and looked at everything with a blank expression. He slowly sat down on the sand-filled floor and looked at the tattered old man with red eyes. Sandbags, silently sobbing and crying, Summer's illusory shadow walked around the house, doing various things such as cleaning, reading, dancing, etc., one by one they increased until they were all over the house, and then they disappeared one by one. Tom, who was looking around, suddenly laughed again, crying and laughing, his face flushed, as if he was laughing at himself or something.

"It's so miserable." Looking at the crazy Tom, the audience can feel the force of the Holy King of Heaven and Earth, the creation of the Holy King, the Night Killing God, the Divine Seal Throne, and the Demon Arrogant Ninth Layer, the strongest abandoned young man, the Great Zhou Royal Family, the Night Killing God, the Divine Seal Throne Asking for the devil to be proud of the world and the strongest in the ninth heaven. The abandoned young master of the great Zhou royal family is the most powerful god-creator and the night to kill the god and the throne of the god. He felt the pain of abandoning his young master, the Zhou royal family, and the atmosphere in the screening room was depressing and heavy. I don’t know when it started. Evelin covered her sore nose and murmured in a choked voice: “Oh my God, my God, my heart is so good. It hurts..." Kelly, who had been wary of her best friend all night, also had tears in her eyes. It broke our hearts! Audiences who had recently experienced heartbreak and lovelorn shed tears, and gentle sobs and sighs rang out across North America. Why did you leave me?

Will I? Joshua thought that he had fallen out of love several times, and none of them were as serious as Tom's. But how could he lose Ali? He glanced at the goddess next to him, and he would... go crazy. What's the point of life? Working so hard is useless. What's the point?

"How could she make Yang so sad, how could she! No one can...I don't want to let it go!" When she thought of Yang going crazy for Helen before, Jessica was really furious and crazy! But there was nowhere to express her anger. She really understood Tom's mood when he was holding the sandbag, so she squeezed his hand harder and harder.

"Wonderful and classic." Film critics very much agree with this view. Magic Yang has displayed his consistent style. Through the clever use of props, this scene uses sandbags to represent Summer and ideals, making Tom feel destructive at this time. The tragedy and anger and attitude towards life were brought out, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt's acting skills also got a chance to shine, and each of the surreal Summers continued to highlight Tom's unforgettable feelings for her. This climax of the one-man show The "Charm of Lost Love" is on full display.

"Tom, I know you think she is your destiny, but I don't think you only remember the good things. Next time, when you recall the past, I really think you should think about it. "

The story continues on the big screen. At Little Rachel's reminder, Tom begins to re-examine this relationship. The flashbacks reveal the beauty, misunderstandings, mistakes, and disagreements, such as whether to watch the re-release of "Graduation". "Life", Tom didn't care, Summer wanted to watch it.

The marriage scene of "The Graduate" appeared on the screen. Benjamin, who had successfully kidnapped his wife, took Elaine, a new brew, and ran onto the bus. The two of them smiled brightly, then gradually became expressionless, and the bus drove towards the ignorant front. Summer in the audience burst into tears, but Tom had no reaction. When the two walked out of the theater, Tom asked with concern and confusion: "Are you okay? Summer, this is just a movie." Mo wiped away tears and said, "It's okay... I'm just a stupid guy."

"That's more than just a movie." In front of the big screen, Linda was pleasantly surprised when her boyfriend Seth suddenly said this: "I'm glad you think so." Seth wiped his moist eyes: "Yes. ,I know."

Little by little, Tom lost the ideal Summer in his heart. He wiped away all the past patterns on the big blackboard at home and drew a new architectural drawing on it. He seemed to cheer up, tidied up his appearance, and looked for an architect. Work... At the same time, Summer over there was trying on wedding dresses and rings and preparing to get married.

Will the story still change? Seeing the appearance of "The Graduate", the audience had a glimmer of hope. Will Tom rush to the church to steal Summer's wedding like Benjamin did? !
