tearjerker director

Chapter 1390 Alternative Interpretation

Li Yi's live Q&A was quite successful.

However, the answer he gave, although it was true that he, the instigator, had the final say in the film, was completely useless.

Because everyone has their own answer, and movies are not exams, so where are the standard answers?
Some people say that Li Yi said that, do you know better than him?
Then they will retort that Li Yi is the director, but he is also the producer of the movie. In order to promote the movie, of course he chooses the answer that everyone likes.

However, although everyone has different perspectives and understandings of the movie, it does not prevent everyone from liking the movie.

In fact, I don’t know when it started, but the number of domestic audiences who like these kind of story-oriented and plot-oriented movies began to increase.

Pure comedies, or other popcorn movies, may be able to achieve good box office results today, but it is difficult to have a good reputation, or to have that much discussion.

On the contrary, movies like "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" give the audience a kind of fun that they can interpret for themselves, and they are even more popular.

On the popular film review website, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" also has a high rating, with a rating of 9.1. More than one million people have rated it, which is enough to prove how popular this movie is.

The reasons for liking this movie are also varied.

A netizen started a post: "What details in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" moved you?"

As a result, there were a lot of responses below.

""Some people were born and raised by the river, some were struck by lightning, some can play the piano, some are artists, some swim, some know how to make buttons, some know Shakespeare, some are mothers, and some Some people can dance..." At the end of the movie, the important figures in Benjamin Button's life appeared with smiles one by one, just like they appeared and took their final moments one by one in Button's unusual life.

In this story with Benjamin and Daisy as the protagonists, they are passers-by; in their own story, Benjamin is a passer-by; and for this planet, all living things now existing are just passers-by.In the sound of rain and dim light, these passers-by all shine with a warm brilliance - they may intentionally or unintentionally participate in shaping the Benjamin Button we see, just as everything we experience shapes us.

Time is definitely a theme in this film.Although Benjamin Button's appearance changes from old to young, his inner growth is no different from that of ordinary people. He and Daisy experienced separation and reunification, and their life trajectories overlapped halfway - the previous life was to prepare for the encounter, and the subsequent Parting shows detachment.

I like what Benjamin Button said in his diary to his daughter:

No matter whether something is too late or too early for me, it will not stop you from becoming the person you want to be. This process has no time limit. You can start at any time as long as you want. It doesn't matter if you want to change or stay the same. , there should be no constraints on doing things, we can do it well, we can mess it up, but I hope that in the end you can become the person you want to be.

I hope you can sometimes stop in this world that amazes you and experience feelings you have never felt before.I want you to meet other people who have different views than yours.I hope you can have a life to be proud of.If the life you imagined is different, I hope you have the courage to start again.

Benjamin Button's transparency naturally comes from his life in the opposite direction.Growing up in a nursing home, he learned that we will eventually lose the people we love; because of his special appearance, he learned that people are lonely in nature, and at the same time he cherishes the kindness of others; after being tempered by ordinary life, he was able to understand Pain and happiness; although we miss the one we love many times, we are fortunate enough to meet and stay together in the middle of life...

Some people say that after the invention of movies, people's life span has been extended at least three times.Although we cannot go through life in the opposite direction like Benjamin Button, we can think in the opposite direction, cherish the people and things we experience in life, become transparent after experiencing pain and happiness, dare to face ourselves, and become the best in our hearts. Someone you really want to be. "

“What touched me most was the last paragraph. In fact, those people were all Benjamin Button’s true mentors and helpful friends in his life, and of course, there were also relatives and lovers.

The first man usually liked to sit by the river and told Benjamin Button his understanding of loneliness.

The second man was struck by lightning seven times and was still alive.

The third man played the piano to Benjamin Button, cut his hair, and told him why he was destined to lose the people he loved.

The fourth person is Captain Mike of the Chelsea. He once rebelled against his father and said that he did not want to be a captain, but an artist!The tattoos on his body were all done by himself, and he said he wanted art to be separated from him unless he died.Taught Benjamin Button: "You can be as angry as a mad dog at everything around you, you can curse fate, but when the last moment comes, you have to let go calmly."Later, Benjamin Button understood this passage and reconciled with his father who had abandoned him.

When the fifth person was young, she wanted to be the first person to swim across the strait, but in the last two kilometers, she still couldn't hold on and gave up.I don’t know if I was encouraged by Benjamin Button, but I finally succeeded in the challenge when I was 60 years old and appeared on TV.Also seen by Benjamin Button and Daisy.

The sixth person was Benjamin Button's biological father. After his wife died in childbirth, he abandoned Benjamin Button, but in fact he had been paying attention to him silently.Later, he founded his own button factory, and his business grew better and better, and he was eventually buried with his wife.

The seventh person is Tizzy, who recited a line from Shakespeare to Benjamin Button when he met him.

The eighth person is Queenie. She treats Benjamin really well, like her own child.Later I had my own child.She treats everyone around her with sincerity and kindness.

The last person is Daisy.She is a natural dancer!Also Benjamin's true love.

There is actually one missing person among these people, and that is Benjamin’s daughter Caroline. These people can be said to have witnessed different nodes of Benjamin’s life in the opposite direction. After reading this, I can’t help but think about my own life. In fact, there are some people in each of our lives who either help us, help us learn to grow, or love us selflessly. "

Some people like it more alternatively.

“I love how when my daughter Caroline talks about Benjamin going on dates with married women every night, she asks Daisy if she wants to skip that part.

Daisy said: "I'm glad there was someone in his life who warmed him."

As Benjamin's lover, she may be the one who understands him best. She knows about Benjamin's first half and second half of his life. Because his life was in the opposite direction, he has never been able to be like a normal person. Therefore, she said, she is very happy to have someone in his life. Zhongnuan was impressed by him, because many things that we ordinary people can achieve with just a few clicks, but for Benjamin, they are a luxury.

In our childhood, we could play with other playmates, go to school, and enjoy the pampering of our parents. But for Benjamin, these were just extravagant wishes. Although Queenie adopted him, he was always surrounded by people. They are a group of old people who are about to reach the end of their lives.So Daisy is the one who loves Benjamin the most.

Because there are really too few people in Benjamin's life who have ever warmed him! "

“Overall, I prefer Benjamin’s clips in the early stages!

All kinds of interesting people and things:
The kind foster family, the black priest of Hallelujah?Mr. Monkey who plays with the orangutans, the elegant grandma who plays the piano, and Captain Mike are probably my favorite characters. He is so informal and informal. When I see him follow the captain, I want to board a ship and travel around the sea. It’s a pity that I was not born in the United States. The Age of Sail and the swimming athletes are also very romantic and very romantic. By the way, I almost forgot about the clock maker at the beginning. This is also a very wonderful setting.

Really different people, different pursuits, different lives, the setting of reverse growth also leads to countless thought-provoking words and phrases, which is very interesting.

However, the scene with Daisy later felt a bit boring in my opinion, maybe I didn’t understand it.I don’t understand why I ran away again. The famous “I hope” part is so sincere and touching, but it’s really abrupt!

But the man who was struck by lightning seven times was quite interesting in a different way! "

“I like the scene between Benjamin and the spy’s wife. Even though it is against morality, that scene is more like a romantic encounter in my opinion.

On the contrary, the relationship with Daisy was more simple and ordinary. "

"I like Captain Mike. To be honest, this character is really interesting. If he were placed in ancient China, he would be more like a prodigal!"

"Benjamin Button was able to meet so many interesting people in his life. What feels wonderful is not Benjamin's life, but the people he met in his life. Each of them has his own story. These talents It’s the most delightful!”

"Some people say they cried when they saw the scene where Benjamin turned into a baby and died in the arms of the heroine... In fact, I personally think the most touching thing in the whole film is his black adoptive mother! She treats him as her own from beginning to end, and in his When she was taken away for the first time and almost lost, and she came home very late in the dark, the scene where the adoptive mother was full of worry, blame, and finally peace of mind was really great! I was the most touched there!

The scene when Benjamin stood up was a bit funny. Although it was very difficult and of great significance to his life...but everyone in the film thought that it was God who gave him the strength to stand up, right? …And that godfather or priest?But suddenly he fell down... fainted!

I think in terms of performance in the film, I like the story clue where the heroine gets into a car accident the most.

If, if, if...if there hadn't been those accidents, the heroine would not have had a car accident, and there would have been no subsequent story. Is the hero very grateful for that car accident?
The best part is the time when two people can finally live together and only have eyes for each other.Then I would like to say that the heroine’s dancing, temperament and everything is my favorite!
There are also many small characters appearing in it. Surprisingly, they did not confuse the audience, but they are all very special existences! "

Of course, as the movie became more and more popular, some strange interpretations began to emerge.

For example, some people sneered at the so-called being struck by lightning seven times.

"A life in the opposite direction of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", an alternative version of turning into a butterfly!"

This title is very weird. Why is it just an alternative version of Butterfly?
However, other people's interpretations can still be justified. :
"Recently, I found that many people are discussing the man who was struck by lightning seven times and died. Which one was the first time and which one was the second time... Does it make sense? What everyone cares about is seven times. In the end, seven times I don’t care anymore. I only care about why this person is still alive and whether he died in the end...

Then he asked why the story of electric shock was introduced into this film?

I think this question requires some imagination. First of all, the old lady Daisy was in a daze, telling stories with Benjamin intermittently, through postcards and diaries...

So the question is, seven electric shocks, why not finish them in one go?
In my opinion, this is actually the analogy!

Electric shock can also be understood as the non-material connection between heaven (elves or gods) and humans, a kind of communication between gods and humans!That's why that person won't die...

Similarly, every time the old lady hears news about Benjamin, she continues to live in these memories!All the information about Benjamin was like an electric shock that brought the old man back to his senses...

Do you remember?While listening to the diary, I went to the doctor several times, and the old man almost died!

Then this requires electric shock!

So I have a bold speculation here, that the hummingbird is the elf of nature, the messenger from heaven, that is, Benjamin. There is such a detail: Benjamin threw a lifebuoy in the water, and then a hummingbird flew in.

The hummingbird and Benjamin looked at each other for a few seconds, then soared into the sky. Afterwards, Benjamin said that he had never seen a hummingbird before, but he was not actually going to the sea.

The lifebuoy is an o. Note that the infinity symbol representing the hummingbird is ∞, indicating that Benjamin and the hummingbird have become one and become eternity, which is the spirit of heaven.

When did the hummingbirds appear again?

At the end of the film, the hummingbird outside the window!Notice that he says good night, Benjamin, and then dies!

Eternal love!Daisy and Benjamin got together in another world, so this is an alternative version of turning into a butterfly. The difference is that Benjamin turned into a hummingbird. In addition, the captain asked about the meaning of the number 8, and Benjamin said: Infinite!

If we must discuss why there was one less electric shock, then let me ask you, were some pages in the letter torn out?
This shows what?It shows that people always have secrets that they cannot open their hearts to, including to their lover: God knows what the earth knows, I know but you don’t!This is equivalent to giving the old lady one less electric shock!
Don’t say it’s the author’s nonsense. Benjamin stood up under the priest’s spell, and then the priest himself cooled down, so this is also a miracle. A miracle, if it can be explained, it is not a miracle! "
