Diary of the devil at the movies (12): Alice again-I just hate that time is in a hurry and I can't remember you.

? "I am not in pain. I am struggling, struggling to integrate and struggling to keep in touch with me. "

This is what Alice said in her speech in Still Alice.

At that time, when the movie saw this paragraph, Mo Ge didn't feel very special. Now I write these words, but suddenly I feel that kind of bitterness full of helplessness. A defeat, losing is losing the world.

In order to avoid spoilers, Brother Mo still doesn't intend to introduce the plot.

Alice in Wonderland was released on 20 14, and won the best actress at the 87th Oscar on 20 15. In Mogo's view, Julian Moore deserved it. After winning this little golden statuette, together with Venice, Cannes and Berlin, he won all the important film awards in Europe and America, becoming the first Grand Slam winner and Oscar winner after the three major film festivals. This honor has always made Brother Mo think of it and sigh.

At that time, when Alice was still alive on TV, Mrs. Magic said categorically, "This is very good, Julian Moore, and it is very good. She won an Oscar for this. "

Brother Mo: "This woman looks familiar. What movie did she play? "

Magic sister-in-law: "What you can remember should be hours?" Julie Ammore was a famous vase when she was young. "

Big vase? Brother Mo showed Monroe, Theron, Johnson, Joey Wong, Rosamund Kwan, Mi Xueer monique Rice, Yang Mi ... These big vases at home and abroad were loved or being loved by Brother Mo. Although Mo Ge has always liked vases and knows that there are many precedents for the transformation of vase actresses in Europe and America, as a former big vase, it has gone far beyond the realm of vases to achieve such achievements in performance. People all know how difficult it is to harvest winners from Venice, Cannes and Berlin in Europe, not to mention Oscar winners with different styles and standards!

Julian Moore succeeded in doing what most people couldn't!

Besides, The Hours is impressive. There are no vases in it, only women with almost the same acting skills as Yimei.

The whole movie "Alice" is still unfolding slowly from the perspective of life. Julian Moore and Baldwin, in a quiet way, slowly drew bystanders into American white-collar family life.

Fresh and pleasant sky, clean streets shaded by green trees, spacious and bright single-family courtyard, slightly messy but full of warm life bedroom, living room, common open kitchen, dining room, family gathering of American families, American restaurant, open university park, college students in a hurry, typical university classrooms, mutual aid groups, American doctors, hospitals and entertainment circles. . . . . . Almost all the American life you can imagine can be seen in this movie.

A very common detail in the film made Mo Ge shake his head: Alice, who had just been diagnosed, took medicine in the kitchen, casually took a cup, took a glass of water from the faucet on the sink, looked up and sent the medicine down.

Drink directly from the kitchen faucet. In Mo Ge's memory, when he was very young, he only drank tap water on campus, primary school and junior high school. Even if you gargle with tap water now, you will feel drumming. In order to raise fish, Moge once tested the quality of tap water at home. According to China standard, only water with TDS detection value between 0 and 50 can be directly drunk. The TDS value of Moge's tap water is stable between 450 and 480. Judging from the indicators alone, Mo Ge is brave and gargles directly with tap water.

There is no particularly violent conflict in the whole story. Director richard glatzer didn't use God's perspective, just let the camera hide aside and carefully record the emotional impact that Alice's illness brought to everyone in the family.

Comparatively speaking, Mo Ge can't imagine how the same thing will end in China's family. Similar possibilities have been discussed by Brother Mo and Sister Mo. Brother Mo made a firm statement at the time: "If it were me, I would definitely not stay at home and cause trouble to others." Magic sister-in-law had a strange expression at that time: "If it is true, you have no idea that you are a trouble." After a pause, he said, "Don't do this. Don't make trouble for me. It's hard to serve you every day. "

Alice Still, from the script, photography, production level to the acting skills of the leading actor, heroine and a group of supporting actors, is superior to Brother Mo, but in the end she only won many awards for best actress. This makes Mo Ge very puzzled. However, this can at least prove that the major film festivals are similar to the Oscars in at least one respect: movies depicting normal family life will be difficult to win the favor of the judges.

In addition to the film, there are two other contents worthy of attention.

One is Alice's speech in the film. Concise and clear, pointing to people's hearts. It is recommended that all English learners collect reading.

The second is the ending song "If I had a boat", which is more beautiful than Confucius's "Wen Shao Le".

Attached statement (from the network)

Good morning, it's an honor to be here.

The poet elizabeth bishop once wrote:

The art of failure is not difficult to master. So many things seem to be full of lost intentions that their loss is not a disaster.

I am not a poet. I am a person with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. As that person, I find myself learning lost art every day. I lost my direction, my goal, my sleep, but mainly my memory.

(Then her speech fell to the ground.)

I think I will try to forget what just happened.

(She jokes after picking up the paper)

I have been accumulating memories all my life; To some extent, they have become my most precious property. On the night I met my husband, I held my textbook in my hand for the first time, gave birth to children, made friends and traveled around the world. Everything I have accumulated in my life, everything I have worked hard for, has now been taken away. You can imagine, or you know, this is hell, but it gets worse.

When we are far from the past, who can take us seriously? Our strange behavior and clumsy sentences have changed others' views on us and our views on ourselves. We become ridiculous, incompetent and funny, but this is not us, this is our disease. Like any disease, it has a reason, it has a process and it can be cured.

My biggest wish is that my children, our children and the next generation don't have to face what I am facing now. But for the time being, I'm alive. I know I'm alive. I have people I love deeply, and I have things I want to do with my life. I complain that I can't remember things. But I still have moments of pure happiness and joy. Please don't think I'm suffering. I'm not suffering. I'm trying, trying to be a part of things, trying to keep in touch with myself.

So live in the moment, I tell myself.

I really can only do this. Live in the present, don't blame yourself too much, and don't blame yourself too much for mastering the art of failure.

However, there is one thing I will try to remember, and that is the memory of my speech here today. It will leave, I know it will, and it may leave tomorrow. But it is of great significance to speak here today like the ambitious me who was so fascinated by communication in the past.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity. It means everything to me.

Thank you!

To avoid spoilers, please forgive Brother Mo for not publishing this speech in Chinese. People who need it can search by themselves. )
