Chapter 490 Great Love (The Movie Has a Lot of Plot, Please Subscribe with Caution)
The main label of "Titanic" is a love movie, and the first wave of audiences is obvious. They are basically lovers or couples in love.
It just so happened that the release time was on the weekend, so we went out to watch the movie on a date.
So in the cinema, there were young men and women in groups of two.
The girls nestled in the boys' arms, and the boys held drinks and popcorn in their hands, with happy and relaxed smiles on their faces.
Luo Quan was holding a large bag of lime-flavored potato chips in his hand, and a glass of ice-cold Coke on the handle on the side of his hand.
Having already put on 3D glasses, she looked around in a somewhat dim environment and found that she was surrounded by lovers, with dog food being sprinkled all around.
Although she has now taken off her mask, everyone's attention is on each other's partners, so they don't recognize her at all.
In fact, she had already expected this situation, because when she bought the ticket, the seats around her were all connected tickets, and she was the only one who bought it separately.
After taking a big bite of potato chips, Luo Quan turned his mind away from the lovers around him.
At the same time, advertisements have begun to play on the big screen, and the movie is about to start. The originally noisy theater has also become quiet, and even the noise of everyone chewing food has been deliberately controlled and much quieter.
Soon, the commercials ended and the movie officially started.
After the long list of investor acknowledgments and the main cast list, the first scene was under the ocean. In 1985, the wreckage of the Titanic was discovered in the North Atlantic. An American adventurer sneaked into the wreckage and used... The camera in his hand once again showed the world the ship that had sunk for decades.
During the adventurer's explorations, he found an oil painting from a corner.
At the same time, the 102-year-old Ruth saw this painting on TV, and her eyes were immediately moved. From her mouth, a legendary love story about this big ship was narrated.
The elderly Ruth is still played by Karilian, and her acting skills, nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, are really good. A simple look in her eyes seems to contain an extremely profound story, which makes people unable to help but get sucked in.
As the heroine's memories unfold, the male protagonist of the movie also appears.
The story begins in April 1912. A luxury ship carrying more than 2,000 passengers is about to set sail from the UK, and the male protagonist Jack is also engaged in a gambling game.
When Leon's handsome face appeared on the big screen for the first time, Luo Quan heard the exclamations one after another around him.
"So handsome!"
“I can’t stand this look in Leon’s eyes~~”
"What should I do honey, I think I'm in love with him."
…………
Regarding the girls' claims of being such nymphos, their boyfriends couldn't say anything to blame at this time, because Leon in the movie is really so good-looking.
Luo Quan had actually seen the same scene before. It was on the premiere day of The Lord of the Rings. She was watching the movie in the cinema as she is now. When the elf princess Alcan she played appeared, the people around her were also gasping in surprise. Voice - regardless of gender.
Luo Quan smiled softly and returned his attention to the movie.
The male protagonist Jack won the bet, and the reward was a ticket on the Titanic. He happily boarded the world's most luxurious cruise ship, but he did not know that his life would also change.
On the ship, he quickly won the favor of the passengers on the ship with his humorous and decent conversation and handsome appearance, and at a banquet, he and Ruth met.
Ruth boarded the ship with her mother and her fiancé Carl, but she saw Carl's snobbery and was unwilling to marry him.
The more she thought about it, the more despair she felt about her future, and she thought of committing suicide by jumping into the sea.
And just then, her Mr. Right shows up, and Jack stops him.
Instead of yelling or grabbing Ruth roughly, he chatted with her like an old friend and even told her his own stories.
It was at this time that he uttered the world-famous phrase: "You jump, I jump."
Under Jack's verbal comfort, Ruth gave up the idea of committing suicide by jumping into the sea, and the two got to know each other.
During the following period, Jack and Rose fell in love quickly like the protagonists in all love stories.
Among them, the scene of the two embracing each other and looking at each other under the sunset is as beautiful as a world-famous painting.
At this moment, Leon became the king who owned the world, because Ruth was his world.
The relationship between the two quickly heated up, and it wasn't long before Ruth decided to give herself to Jack.
In the quiet bedroom, Jack painted for Ruth. In the cramped car, there were traces of their love.
Luo Quan did not expect that the Japanese review department did not cut out this section at all, and kept everything intact.
In her impression, there was nothing missing about the male protagonist in this episode.
However, the two versions may not be exactly the same. Luo Quan didn't dare to bet, so he closed his eyes immediately after seeing the painting begin, basically closing this section.
Although the movie has restricted scenes, the director still shot it into an extremely beautiful scene, and Leon and Carillian turned this beauty into perfection.
From the sighs echoed again by the boys and girls around him, Luo Quan knew that this section must be picturesque.
Next comes the scene of the two people in the car. The director handled it more implicitly. After the two people lay down in the car, the camera did not follow, leaving only a slender jade hand resting on the window of the car. Slide gently.
The audience seemed to see nothing, but also seemed to see everything. This hazy beauty that can only be understood but cannot be expressed was vividly interpreted by the director and actors.
Luo Quan is very familiar with this shot, because she also shot many similar shots in Resident Evil.
However, "Titanic" shows the male and female protagonists doing something they love to do, which is a very charming thing.
In "Resident Evil", the ones who were good at slapping the windows were zombies, and because they used too much force, they would leave bloody fingerprints every time they smacked them, scaring the audience into screaming...
If this was a fairy tale, the story would basically end here. The ending must be that the hero and heroine lived a happy life after getting off the ship.
Unfortunately, this is Titanic.
The warm and sweet plot begins from the moment the iceberg appears, and quickly takes a turn for the worse.
Although the captain quickly discovered the iceberg and immediately took action to avoid it, it was still too late.
The ship and the iceberg inevitably collided together, and the violent collision woke everyone up from their dreams.
The iceberg was bigger than the captain imagined. This impact directly caused irreparable damage to the Titanic. Huge cracks appeared in the hull, seawater began to pour in, and it was only a matter of time before it sank.
The 260-meter-long Titanic was the highest expression of civilian shipbuilding technology of that era and symbolized the great achievements of mankind in conquering nature.
However, when it collides with a real natural disaster, it seems so vulnerable.
At this time, no remedial measures could save the sinking ship. After confirming the situation, the captain announced the bad news to all the passengers on the ship.
The climax of the whole film also comes at this moment.
The captain told everyone that there were only 20 lifeboats on the ship, which was not enough to accommodate everyone, which meant that more than half of the people could not get on the ship.
At this moment, the glory of humanity begins to shine brightly.
The men offered to let the women, the elderly and children board the boat first, while the young and strong ones stayed on the boat.
In fact, this group of people was not the only one who also made sacrifices.
In every cabin, there are different stories happening.
An old couple looked at each other and chose to leave their hope of life to others.
All crew members from the captain on down adhered to their posts, obviously determined to survive and die with the Titanic.
The orchestra that was playing music in the hall only stopped for a short while and then continued playing at the pianist's signal.
Some people want to live, while others make a greater choice than choosing to live - to let others live.
However, human nature is not only bright and kind, but also selfish.
Most men choose to sacrifice themselves and let the weak come on board, while some try to muddle through, such as Ruth's ex-fiancé Carl.
As for the male and female protagonists, when faced with the choice of life and death, love bursts out with unparalleled power.
Ruth, who had already boarded the lifeboat, easily gave up her hope of survival and returned to Jack's side.
The two hugged and kissed each other in the already tilted Titanic, with tears of excitement in their eyes.
Soon, the sea water poured in, the big ship completely raised its head to the sky, the lights went out in an instant, and the turbulent sea water swept every corner of the ship in a very short period of time.
The extremely terrifying destructive power of nature was truly displayed in front of all the audience through special effects technology, so much so that they screamed in more horror than the people in the movie.
In the end, the big ship capsized and sank amidst the roaring screams. Unknown how many people were caught in the whirlpool of the sinking ship and drowned.
And just when everyone thought that the male and female protagonists were certain to die, a miracle happened.
The two of them were still floating on the water, and at the same time a piece of wood floated next to them. Jack immediately pushed Ruth up.
However, the problem came. The wooden board was not enough to support the weight of the two people, which meant that only one of them could survive.
Just like Jack saved Ruth the first time, this time he still eloquently stopped Ruth from switching places with him.
In the cold water, he trembled and told Ruth his last love:
"Remember, my heart will always love you and it will never change."
This line is a newly added one and is not in the original version.
But at this time, no matter what he said, it didn't matter anymore. Jack's behavior was more touching than ten thousand words of "I love you."
In the end, the miracle did not happen again. Leon, who gradually lost consciousness, let go of his hand lying on the board and sank into the sea. Ruth looked at her lover who left her and cried heartbreakingly.
Around Luo Quan, there were also intensive sobbing or sniffling sounds, and some girls even cried outright.
It's not polite to make too much noise while watching a movie, but no one will criticize at this time, because everyone is crying, and some boys shed tears even more fiercely than their girlfriends.
At the end of the movie, we return to the elderly Ruth again. She comes to the place where the Titanic sank and throws the necklace she has treasured for 84 years into the sea, so that it can accompany Jack and this touching love to sleep forever at the bottom of the sea. …………
At this point, the play ends, the credits begin to roll, and the lights gradually come on.
But people did not leave their seats, because "My Heart Will Go On" sounded at this moment.
"
Every night in my dreams
In my dreams every night
I see you I feel you
see you, feel you
That is how I know you go on
This is why I understand you
Far across the distance and spaces between us
Across the space and distance of our hearts
……………”
In fact, many people came to see "Titanic" for Luo Quan at the beginning. It is said that she appeared in the movie and sang the theme song.
However, from the beginning to the end, no one found any trace of her, but because the plot was so exciting, people ignored this.
But after "My Heart Will Go On" was played, everyone started singing this song.
Luo Quan's updated version of "My Heart Will Go On" has actually been sung once, but with the movie we just watched, everyone still heard a new flavor and a new touch.
Many girls who had stopped crying once again burst into tears after hearing the high-pitched and distant words "My heart will go on", and cried loudly in the arms of their boyfriends.
On the one hand, I was too sad, and on the other hand, I didn’t dare to see anyone because I cried so much that my eye makeup was stained.
Luo Quan, who was already wearing a mask on his seat, had tears in his eyes at this time.
She has actually watched this movie many times, and she did shed tears a few times at the beginning, but after that she didn't feel much about it.
There is actually no big difference between the plot of this new version and the original version, and there is no particularly big emotional fluctuation from beginning to end. However, after her song played, she couldn't help but shed tears.
After all, people are emotional animals, and she is not hard-hearted.
She once longed for such a beautiful love that would last until death. She also hoped to have a lover who was willing to devote everything to her, whether poor or rich, beautiful or discolored, healthy or sick, he would never leave her.
She once dreamed of such a scene during a wedding in her dream. How she wished she could be one of the people who said "I do", but unfortunately the cruel reality did not give her such an opportunity.
What's even more cruel is that no matter in her past life or this life, she seems to have no chance to say this, even if she is already richer than in her previous life.
Thinking of this, Luo Quan smiled reluctantly, took out a tissue and wiped himself.
Life is truly precious, but love is even more valuable. If it is for freedom, both can be thrown away.
This is probably the best excuse she can find for herself now.
