Chapter 1068: 1068

Kayla was sitting in her seat, but her mind was full of thoughts. Her feelings were very subtle and complicated, just like at the opening.

Watching the scenes of Vienna on the big screen, Jesse and Selena measured every place with their steps. During the movie, these places seemed to have no characteristics at all. Even the scenery that the director gave the close-up shots to outline in detail was a glimpse, and it was difficult to leave an impression in his mind, because all the pictures of the whole story were concentrated on the pair of men and women, and the dialogue between the two was the core, attracting all the attention of the audience.

But at this time the movie ended. When the scenes passed by appeared again, all the scenery was reconstructed vividly in my mind. In each scene, it seemed that Jesse and Selena could be seen walking slowly in their hearts again, including the content of their conversations there, and countless thoughts surging in an instant.

This was really a magical thing. At this time, Kaila realized that the influence of this movie was so profound. Many inconspicuous details of the movie's viewing process had long been deeply imprinted in her mind. It was like a cup of warm water, which looked inconspicuous and didn't seem to taste anything. However, after closing her eyes, she could clearly feel the faint sweetness beating on the tip of her tongue.

More importantly, logic is, this should be a boring movie, as Hugo said, a movie composed of dialogue throughout the whole story, which is almost bolder and more radical than the Quentin-like chatterbox of "pulp novels". There are no plot conflicts, no dramatic twists, no ups and downs, and can be regarded as a drama or novel, but it has been filmed into a movie. This should indeed be a boring and pale movie.

But after watching the movie, I don’t feel the so-called boredom at all. Not only is it not boring, but it is also very interesting. I am willing to let the audience participate in this conversation with interest, and even more so that the audience can participate in the development and advancement of the entire story in an immersive way. This is different from watching drama novels. As a movie, it has an irresistible charm.

Kayla thought about it for a long time and only thought of the word "charm" to describe her feelings about this special work, which is indeed a very interesting thing.

Why is such a boring movie so charming?

Hugo's charm? Keira doesn't want to summarize the reasons so simply and roughly. Of course, this is a very important part. The fresh and natural interpretation between Hugo and Charlize is not pretentious, and it is smooth and flowing. The entire chemical reaction can directly affect the audience's feelings through the large screen, which makes the story very convincing and attractive, allowing people to calm down and feel the details of the movie. This is a decisive element for a movie.

But definitely not only that.

Watching the end of the movie, Kaila's mind was filled with various plots or more accurate and various dialogues. She could think of various topics discussed by the two people, men and women, the meaning of marriage, the meaning of life, religious beliefs, and the definition of love... These topics can always trigger brainstorms, collide with her own thoughts, her outlook on life, values, and worldviews, and then sparks burst out.

Suddenly, Kaira understood that the most important charm lies in the conversation.

A dialogue full of wisdom, personality, and triggers deep thoughts. Every dialogue is not nonsense. On the contrary, it is a collision of thoughts between men and women, or a exchange of thoughts between people. It seems that every sentence is worth pondering, and it seems that every thought is worth remembering.

People always say that the script of "Pulp Novels" is very outstanding, full of life wisdom and cleverness. But in Kaila's view, the script of "before sunrise" is even more outstanding, because "Pulp Novels" are also playing tricks, but "before sunrise" does not. It completely presents the process of people's thought exchange, without any discounts, no tricks, and no concealment. Everything is presented truthfully and sincerely.

It is precisely the reality of this conversation that completely presents the process of Jesse and Selena from strangeness to attractiveness, from embarrassment to ambiguousness, from first acquaintance to love to all the audience. To sum it up simply, this movie shows the process of falling in love.

This is a very magical thing in itself. Because it is not easy to express the process of human love clearly in life or in the field of art, because love is one of the countless issues that cannot be interpreted by human beings so far. Many people even fall in love with each other before they realize it. This is exactly the wonder of love.

In many film works, they often just pass by words like "love at first sight" or "he is moved after one night". However, in the story "before sunrise", the director uses dialogue to clearly present the process of love from germination to birth to bursting, allowing everyone to deeply feel the slow, violent, strong and powerful process of "falling in love".

Heartbeat, this was originally a word for people falling in love. Jesse was heartbeat at the first glance when she saw Selena. Selena was also heartbeat when she saw the childish smile of the children on Jesse's face. "Before sunrise", she interpreted the verb "heartbeat" into a noun. At the same time, she also made all the audience feel the whole process of "heartbeat" and fell in love.

So everyone "loved" the movie.

Suddenly, the smile on the corner of Kayla's mouth was outlined. She finally knew why no one felt bored during the movie watching process, why they felt infinite regret when Jesse was about to get off the car, but also excited because Jesse came back to invite Selena to get off the car, why they empathized with a certain detail of the conversation between the two, why they were thrilled by the emotional changes of the two, why they could not feel the passage of time... Most importantly, why they fell in love with this boring movie and were fascinated by her charm.

"Wow." Kaila sighed. She could not describe her inner sigh in words. She could not imagine that Hugo had conceived such a script so boldly and so outrageously, and presented it in this extreme way. Kaila not only admired Hugo, but also admired Hugo's courage, Hugo's concentration, and even admired Hugo's talent.

Only audiences who truly know how to calm down and read the story "Before Sunrise" can feel the excellence of this movie. Otherwise, it is a boring movie, as Hugo said.

So Hugo chose Sundance Film Festival.

Thinking of this, Kaila could no longer hold back her emotions. She suddenly stood up, then excitedly motivated her hands to vent her inner excitement. But at this time, Kaila realized that not only her, but all five hundred people in the entire cinema stood up together, and everyone was applauding hard. The thunderous applause would set off Hugo standing in front of him, Charlize and Richard to become the king of Sundance.

There were more than 700 audiences arriving at the scene today, including reporters, but less than 500 people were able to enter the scene. Kaila suddenly felt a little proud. On the one hand, she felt regretful for the audience outside the scene because they were not able to enjoy this wonderful work at the first time; on the other hand, she was a little happy, not only was she happy that she became the first witness of the release of this movie, but also was happy that Sundance became the stage for the emergence of "before sunrise".

Kaila turned around and looked around. At this time, the expressions on all the audience's faces were so similar. The women's faces were flashing with excitement. The throbbing was like the stars in the night sky, and the romantic pink halo was shining on their cheeks. The men's faces were full of understanding and admiration. Compared to their attention to love, they felt more of the views expressed in the movie from the men's standpoint. They were not very interested in love, but were applauding Jesse's speech.

It can be predicted that the movie "Before Sunrise" will inevitably cause countless controversies after it is released, not only people's controversy about this movie, but also men and women's controversy about this movie. Kayla was a little excited about this because independent films that could not cause discussion were a failure to some extent, because independent films are works that show the director's personal ideas outside the Hollywood production system, which must be full of thorns and bumps.

Thinking of this, Kaila applauded even harder, and she had to express her love for "before sunrise".

The entire cinema was filled with applause. Although the Sundance Film Festival was filled with countless experimental movies, there were many more bold and controversial works than "before Sunrise", it was not an easy task to get the recognition of Sundance audiences. Just like Junjie Music Festival, those who came to Parker City were all professional movie fans. Their professionalism and pickiness were by far the most important gatekeeper standard for the Sundance Film Festival.

Today, all the audience stood up and applauded together, which was undoubtedly the greatest affirmation for "before sunrise". Its first debut was a perfect debut.

The applause lasted for about three minutes, and then it stopped sparsely. Then it was time for the audience to communicate with the crew. Hugo took the microphone first, but he looked around and said, "Uh, I think, everyone should have no problems, right?" This sentence confused everyone on the scene. Why? Then Hugo said, "You know, this is a boring movie," and this sentence appeared again, making all the audience laugh. "And, all the questions have been answered almost in the movie, so I think everyone should have no problems."

I have to say that Hugo's humor immediately pleasantly enjoyed the Sundance audience, and everyone had bright smiles on their faces.
