Chapter 289: Such a life is quite wonderful!
The big movie "To the Moon" was released as scheduled under the attention of many parties.
Whether they were trusting or skeptical, they all walked into the theater immediately.
The beginning of the story is different from the game.
The story begins with a man being invited to a party at a mansion.
A completely different start than going to the moon.
Ye Feng also brought all the employees of Sprout Studio to watch their first movie.
These are three games produced by the same company in the previous life, "To the Moon", "Shadow Factory", and "Searching for Paradise".
Because the first work "To the Moon" is so famous, it is often called the "To the Moon" trilogy.
Because the characters in it are closely related to the characters in To the Moon.
The movie uses the opening scene of "Shadow Factory". The two protagonists in it are the parents of Neil, the memory doctor in "To the Moon".
The suspenseful opening also quickly attracted the audience.
Everyone wants to know crazily why the male protagonist was invited to this mansion and why a murder occurred here.
Countless doubts surround everyone.
But when the mystery of the story was slowly revealed, the audience saw the simplest love.
From the campus to the wedding, the love past that has been buried deep in everyone's memory is slowly brought up.
In the movie, the players seem to have found the answer they want: Love is actually very simple. I will be satisfied if I can meet you.
Those who were watching the movie couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of their eyes.
Dr. Neal’s mother, the heroine at the beginning of the movie, had a urinary disease since she was a child, could not run fast, and would faint from time to time.
She has known since she was a child that her disease will get worse sooner or later, so she has started thinking about the meaning of life since she was a child.
Want to be a star in the sky or a lavender on the ground.
The heroine in the movie sat calmly in the lavender world under the night sky. Faced with the problem of her father, she resolutely chose to become a star.
This brilliant purple lavender is bright and moving, and it is what every girl likes.
She chose to become a star, just because under the bright starlight, more people would see the beauty of lavender.
But in this story,
The heroine is ill, and the male protagonist needs to make a choice between his unborn child and his lover.
He chose his lover, but the child passed away due to premature birth and the root cause of the disease.
In the movie, we can learn that this child is the memory doctor Neil who went to the moon.
The movie shows different endings,
But that's just the result of different memory encodings.
But the real world is that when the heroine dies, before she dies, she chooses to save a copy of her memory data and give it to her children as a gift.
With the level of science and technology at that time, it was difficult to use the preserved memory data and it was of little significance. This gift could only be given to Neil in the future.
The grown-up Neil activated this memory, but as the story in the memory developed, his mother made many choices, and each choice produced a new story line.
It may also be very long - for example, the mother in the main story chose to have early surgery and lived for decades longer.
In the future of memory, different choices will lead to different results.
Memory keeps recursing, and things gradually become perfect.
This is a happy life where memories keep recursing.
It is not a horror story, it is a fairy tale,
The story is dull because it is perfect. It seems that there are no tears, but there are tears everywhere.
What’s surprising to everyone is that the characters of “To the Moon” have very few roles in the movie.
The main time is spent at the beginning and end.
At the end of the story, there is the protagonist who is looking for heaven. This old man has a completely different life from John in "To the Moon".
He had a warm childhood, had a successful career and found romantic love as an adult, and eventually grew old with his wife and had children and grandchildren. He was a "winner in life" in the eyes of many people.
The two doctors who entered the subconscious mind of the old man's dream also encountered an unprecedented situation. The old man seemed to want to give up nothing and kept resisting the modification of his memory, but modifying his memory was his own wish in reality.
What’s even more weird is that a female friend named Faya who has been with him all his life appears in the old man’s memory, but in reality there is no trace of Faya at all.
She seems to be a "transparent person" who does not exist in this world, but she seems so real in the old man's memory.
These contradictions and conflicts run through the entire game, attracting the audience to follow the footsteps of the two doctors and constantly understand the old man's divided life.
Memory modification technology provided the old man with a valuable opportunity to complete an inner self-examination before his death, and finally reached reconciliation with himself.
The line he said with relief at the end of the story still impresses me: "It is regret that makes me who I am now."
What the old man needs is not to modify his life to make it perfect, but to look back on his life and confirm to himself without regrets:
This is my irreplaceable life.
The movie uses three stories to express a problem,
‘If you were given a chance to choose again, would you choose a life without regrets? ’
But at the end of the story, I gave everyone an answer.
A life without regrets is imperfect, but it is exactly what we expect.
Such a life is quite wonderful!
After coming out of the theater, everyone wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, so at the beginning, everyone subconsciously built a thick layer of psychological defense.
However, as everyone gradually falls into the story, melody and emotional rhythm of the movie, whether they cry or laugh next is actually beyond the control of their own brains and rationality.
At this time, the Internet is already abuzz.
【The first game is over, I really wish I could play it again! Because I can’t buy a ticket! 】
【Forgive me for not being able to fully convey this emotion to you without spoiling the story.
The most I can say is that this is a story about growth, family affection, love, friendship, companionship, and the pursuit of happiness in life. It doesn't have the usual misfortunes in sad dramas, but it can still make you happy, frustrated, passionate, and even cry without warning. 】
【I have to say, Lao Zei's music is simply magic! The emotional outburst throughout the movie is very shocking! 】
【The movie is not a slap in the face, all I saw were brand new stories π_π! 】
【As the ending song sings: We always have to learn to make trade-offs. But don't forget those dreams, even if you have turned over thousands of pages of ups and downs. 】
