The charm of Sundance Film Festival is that it is a hot land that belongs to movies. People can be red-faced because of a movie, become friends because of a movie, or even talk all night because of a movie. At least, before Sundance faces the invasion of Hollywood, this hot land belongs to movie enthusiasts only.

Hugo always felt that he had watched many movies, not a thousand or eight hundred, which was a huge number; but when he came to the Sundance Film Festival, he felt so deeply that he was a frog in the well. He had so many movies that he still hadn't seen and were good movies. Perhaps the overall completion of the movie was not high, but the inspiration that burst out with a flash of spiritual barrier was worth pondering.

For example, Hugo watches a British film called "Full.time" today. The director is a name he has never heard of, Paul Warner. The overall film is lazy and broken, and can only barely reach the passing line. However, the conception and dialogue of the film are filled with rich British black humor, which reminds Hugo of the British films that were later popular all over the world, "shaun.of.the.dead", "two big smoke guns (lock.stock.and.two.s touching.barrels), "seven ven.psychopaths" and so on. These films are filled with rich black cold humor, which makes people appreciate the unique culture of the land of the British Isles.

"Four Funerals and One Wedding" released last year is also a typical example.

Similar to such moments, Hugo will truly feel that movies are actually the same as music. This is an art without thresholds, boundaries, and restrictions. As long as you have a passionate heart, you can devote yourself to this art. Of course, there is still an essential difference as a hobby, as a dream, and as a means of making a living.

The director Paul Warner is OK to play with, but if you want to develop further, you will lack a little talent.

However, this process is really interesting, because the movies I saw in Sundance were different from Hollywood, like a refreshing air, rushing towards me.

"Hugo, Hugo..." Rick's voice woke Hugo up from his thoughts, he was stunned and looked at Rick with a blank look on his face. Joseph, who was standing diagonally opposite, chuckled, "He has always been like this these two days. Every time he thinks of a movie, he starts to get distracted."

"That day he was in a daze with a French fries for twenty minutes!" Samora also complained, and finally muttered, "The French fries are soft and not delicious anymore, it's really a waste."

Hugo, who came to his senses, heard Samora's words and burst into laughter, "You've secretly taken my burger to eat, don't think I didn't notice it."

"Hey, I asked for your consent!" Samora immediately said righteously, but in the end he was still lacking confidence and his eyes were a little weak, "And I called you a new one too!" Everyone laughed.

"What are you thinking?" Rick asked casually, "Did you not hear me mentioning the distribution of copyrights with you just now?"

"No, I just met a...uh, someone I want to know." Hugo said hesitantly, not sure what adjective should be used, and after finally speaking it, he still didn't look very sure.

"If you want to meet, just go straight up and hesitate." Joseph said, "Or, is this a woman?" This sentence is naturally not literally, but implies that Hugo wants to date a woman. "Don't worry, Cameron won't know."

"The paparazzi will tell her." Charlize rolled his eyes with a speechless expression sitting next to him.

"Hey, hey! Don't put your thoughts on me, okay?" Hugo defended helplessly, "Although that's indeed a woman... but, in short, it's not what you think."

The woman Hugo mentioned was Rebecca Miller. He just saw Rebecca Miller, and Daniel Day Lewis was standing next to her.

As the daughter of great writer Arthur Miller, Rebecca came to Park City with his self-written and directed work "Angel" and was highly regarded. Most independent film fields are fledgling unknown people, so "rich second generation" with a strong background like Rebecca can easily become the focus. "Angel" has naturally received a lot of discussions and is relatively harsh. Although the comments on "Angel" are mixed, objectively speaking, as Rebecca's directorial debut, they still have good performance.

Hugo knew Rebecca was in Park City, but he had no special thoughts until he saw Daniel appearing next to Rebecca, caring for her with a gentle and considerate look on his face.

You know, Daniel is now the Oscar winner. Although he is slow and picky in the movies, he is not a first-tier superstar, but he is still an absolute topic in the small town of Park City. Daniel came to Park City in person, and without any works he did not show, he undoubtedly wanted to support Rebecca.

When Hugo saw Rebecca, Daniel walked towards Rebecca who was standing at the entrance of the cinema with popcorn in both hands. When Daniel walked to Rebecca, Rebecca took a bucket of popcorn, and then Daniel kissed Rebecca on the forehead and held Rebecca in his arms. Both of them walked towards the cinema with happy smiles on their lips.

It is just the simplest scene, but it is also the happiest and most beautiful scene between couples. In the eyes of others, it is naturally a man and beautiful woman, and it is happy. But in Hugo's eyes, it is a husband who abandoned his wife and a mistress who is warm with him.

Hugo remembered Isabel Ajani.

Hugo was not familiar with Isabel, and he just met in Cannes. Similarly, Hugo did not know Rebecca and Daniel, so Hugo could not judge the right or wrong of the triangle relationship between them. In later generations, many people criticized Daniel's unfaithfulness and Rebecca's third party intervened and sympathized with Isabel; but in turn, many people thought Rebecca was innocent and spoke out for her, believing that the disaster of Daniel and Isabel's love cannot be blamed on Rebecca.

There is no right or wrong in love, only love or not. If Daniel still loves Isabel, then he would not fall in love with Rebecca. From this perspective, there is no right or wrong in this triangle relationship, but there is only one ending: Isabel takes Daniel's child alone, while Daniel and Rebecca start another happy and fulfilling life. At least before Hugo travels through time, Daniel's marriage is still stable.

But objectively speaking, Daniel did not organize it clearly with Isabel. When Isabel was pregnant, she fled Europe and came to the United States and fell in love with Rebecca. This incident itself is not the correct explanation of love.

Looking at Daniel and Rebecca's happy and tender appearance, Hugo remembered Isabel's quiet and comfortable face sitting on the beach chair. This is really an irony. Isabel is raising a baby in Europe at this time, raising her and Daniel's children, while Daniel is currently in Rebecca's gentle land.

What is even more ironic is that after Isabel, who had previously rejected Hollywood, after realizing something wrong with Daniel, he agreed to Hollywood's invitation for love without hesitation and participated in the shooting of "Dia Bolique" later this year.

Unfortunately, Isabel still failed to win back Daniel's heart.

So, is there really nothing right or wrong in love? Many mistresses claim that they don’t know that the other party is married, or that they have unintentionally destroyed the other party’s emotional life, or that the other party’s relationship had broken down long before they intervened, but what about the facts? No one can explain it clearly.

Hugo is not a defender. He has no intention to step forward to expose Daniel and Rebecca, nor has he intended to speak up for Isabel, nor has he intended to condemn Rebecca. He has no qualifications, no position, and no need. He just sighs a little bit of a mess, just like what was discussed in "Before Sunrise": Can love really last forever? Or is there only a moment of sparks?

So, Hugo was in a daze just now, and the chaotic thoughts in his mind were surging.

"Before sunrise" discusses the germination and birth of love. So what should love look like after love is born? Or to look at it from another perspective, after leaving the passion for a night, leaving the strangeness and stimulation of the journey, and returning to the peace and ordinary life, what will love look like? When the instant burst of love collides with the trickle of life, what should it look like?

Hugo suddenly remembered "Before Sunset (before.sun color)". This movie was born in 2004, which is the sequel to "Before Sunrise". At this moment, he understood why Richard Linklater had the idea of ​​shooting a sequel, and why this sequel was not as anxious as many commercial movies in the next year or the third year, but after experiencing the erosion of real time, it presents the most realistic appearance. Because only real time can polish the most realistic appearance of love.

Hugo couldn't help but feel curious. Perhaps, nine years later, in 2004, he would join forces with Richard to create a sequel, but it was just possible. Hugo looked at Charlize sitting beside him and looked at the delicate face carefully. Charlize seemed to notice it and looked up, and looked over. Hugo smiled, signaled "It's okay", and then lowered his eyes.

"So, what did you say just now?" Hugo asked Rick, "Distribution rights? Is it this matter?" Hugo raised his head and looked at Rick, "But why should I ask me about this matter, it's not our business, right? David should be worried about this matter, right?"

Hugo doesn't understand the distribution rights very well. After all, he has never been involved in this matter before. It's just that in his opinion, David Geffen is the producer and investor "before sunrise", so the distribution rights should naturally be a problem he is worried about, but why did he find him?
