Chapter 490
The main label of "Titanic" is a love movie, so the first wave of target audience is very obvious, basically couples or married couples in love.
It just so happens that the release time is on the weekend, just right for a date to watch a movie together.
So in the cinema, there are young men and women in groups of two.
The girls snuggled in the boys' arms, the boys held drinks and popcorn in their hands, and their faces were filled with happy and relaxed smiles.
Miss Luo Quan held a large bag of lime-flavored potato chips in her hand, and a cup of iced cola was placed on the handle at her side.
Wearing 3D glasses, she looked around in the somewhat dim environment and found that she was surrounded by couples, sprinkling dog food in front, behind, left, and right.
Although she had taken off her mask now, everyone's attention was on their partners, so they didn't recognize her at all.
Actually, she had expected this situation long ago, because when she bought the ticket, the surrounding seats were all connected tickets, and only she bought it alone.
Taking a fierce bite of potato chips, Miss Luo Quan moved her mind away from the surrounding couples.
At the same time, commercials had already started playing on the big screen, and the movie was about to begin. The somewhat noisy cinema also became quiet, and even the movement of everyone chewing food was much smaller under deliberate control.
Soon, the commercials ended, and the movie officially began.
After the long investor acknowledgments and the list of main actors were played, the first scene was under the ocean. In 1985, the wreck of the Titanic was discovered in the North Atlantic. An American adventurer dived into the wreck and used the camera in his hand to show this big ship that had sunk for decades to the world again.
In the exploration and excavation of this adventurer, an oil painting was found in a corner.
At the same time, 102-year-old Rose saw this painting from the TV broadcast. Her eyes were immediately touched. From her mouth, a legendary love story about this big ship was told.
The elderly Rose was still played by Carlilian. Nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, her acting skills were indeed extraordinary. A simple look seemed to contain an extremely deep story, making people unable to help but sink into it.
With the unfolding of the heroine's memories, the male lead of the movie also appeared.
The story began in April 1912. The luxury giant ship carrying more than 2,000 passengers was about to set sail from the UK, and the male lead Jack was also in a gambling game.
When Gao Liang's handsome face first appeared on the big screen, Miss Luo Quan heard the exclamations one after another around her.
"So handsome!"
"Gao Liang's eyes, I can't do it~~"
"Honey, what should I do? I think I fell in love with him."
For the girls' infatuated talk, their boyfriends couldn't say anything to blame at this time, because Gao Liang in the movie was really too good-looking.
Miss Luo Quan had actually seen the same scene before. It was on the premiere day of The Lord of the Rings. She was watching the movie in the cinema just like now. When the Elf Princess Arwen she played appeared, there were also surprised gasps around—regardless of men or women.
Smiling lightly, Miss Luo Quan put her attention back into the movie.
The male lead Jack won the gambling game, and the reward was the ticket for the Titanic. He boarded this world's most luxurious cruise ship full of joy, but didn't know that his life would change because of this.
On the ship, he soon won the favor of the passengers on the ship with his humorous and decent conversation and handsome appearance, and at a banquet, he met Rose.
Rose boarded the ship with her mother and fiancé Cal, but she saw Cal's snobbery and didn't want to marry him.
The more she thought about it, the more desperate she felt about her future, and she thought of jumping into the sea to commit suicide.
And just at this time, her true love appeared, and Jack stopped her.
He didn't shout or rudely step forward to grab Rose, but chatted with her like an old friend, and even told his own story.
It was also at this time that he said the world-famous sentence: "You jump, I jump."
Under Jack's verbal comfort, Rose dispelled the idea of jumping into the sea to commit suicide, and the two met from then on.
During the next period of time, Jack and Rose, like the protagonists in all love stories, quickly fell in love.
Among them, the scene where the two hugged and looked at each other under the sunset was even more beautiful like a world-famous painting.
At this moment, Gao Liang became the king who owned the world, because Rose was his whole world.
Next, the feelings of the two heated up rapidly, and before long, Rose decided to give herself to Jack.
In the quiet bedroom, Jack painted for Rose. In the narrow car, there were traces of the two's love.
Miss Luo Quan didn't expect that the Japanese review department didn't cut this part at all, and kept it all original.
In her impression, the male lead didn't have any exposure in this part.
However, the two versions were not necessarily exactly the same. Miss Luo Quan didn't dare to bet, so she closed her eyes directly after the painting started, basically closing this part.
Although the movie was a restricted-level scene, the director still filmed it into an extremely beautiful scene, and Gao Liang and Carlilian turned this beauty into stunning beauty.
From the exclamations of the surrounding men and women again, Miss Luo Quan knew that this part must be as beautiful as a painting.
Immediately after, it was the segment of the two in the car. Here the director handled it more implicitly. After the two lay down in the car, the camera didn't follow down, leaving only a slender jade hand resting on the car window and sliding gently.
The audience seemed to see nothing, and seemed to see everything. This hazy beauty that can only be understood but not explained was interpreted vividly by the director and actors.
For this shot, Miss Luo Quan was no stranger, because there were many similar shots in the Resident Evil she filmed.
However, "Titanic" here reflects the male and female leads doing things they love, which is a very beautiful thing.
And the one who slapped the window in "Resident Evil" was a zombie, and because of too much force, every time it slapped, it would leave blood handprints, scaring the audience to scream...
If this were a fairy tale, the story would basically end here, and the ending would definitely be the male and female leads living a happy life after getting off the ship.
Unfortunately, this is "Titanic."
The warm and sweet plot began to turn sharply from the moment the iceberg appeared.
Although the captain quickly discovered the iceberg and immediately made evasive maneuvers, it was ultimately too late.
The big ship and the iceberg collided inevitably, and this violent impact woke everyone up from their dreams.
The iceberg was more huge than the captain imagined. This impact directly caused irreparable damage to the Titanic. The hull appeared a huge crack, seawater began to pour in, and sinking was only a matter of time.
The 260-meter-long Titanic was the highest embodiment of civil ship manufacturing technology in that era, symbolizing the huge achievements of human beings conquering nature.
However, when it truly collided with the disaster of nature, it appeared so vulnerable.
At this time, no remedial measures could save this big ship that was about to sink. After confirming the situation, the captain announced the bad news to all the passengers on the ship.
The climax of the whole film also came at this moment.
The captain told everyone that there were only 20 lifeboats on the ship, which was not enough to hold everyone, which meant that more than half of the people could not get on the ship.
At this moment, the brilliance of human nature began to bloom with brilliant light.
The men took the initiative to let women, the elderly, and children get on the ship first, while the young and strong men stayed on the ship.
The people who made sacrifices were actually not just this group of people.
In every cabin, there were different stories happening.
An old couple looked at each other and chose to leave the hope of life to others.
All crew members from the captain down kept their posts, obviously wanting to coexist with the Titanic.
The band playing music in the hall stopped for a while and then continued to play under the signal of the pianist.
Some people wanted to survive, while others made a greater choice than choosing to survive—letting others live.
However, human nature is not only light and kindness, but also selfishness.
Most men chose to sacrifice themselves to let the weak get on the ship, while some men attempted to muddle through, such as Rose's former fiancé Cal.
As for the male and female leads, when facing the choice of life and death, love burst out with unparalleled power.
Rose, who had already boarded the lifeboat, easily abandoned the hope of life and returned to Jack's side.
The two hugged and kissed in the Titanic, which had already tilted significantly, with excited tears in their eyes.
Soon, seawater poured back, the big ship completely raised its head, the lights went out in an instant, and the surging seawater swept through every corner of the ship in a very short time.
The terrifying destructive power of nature was truly displayed in front of all the audience through special effects technology, so much so that they let out more terrified screams than the people in the movie.
In the end, the big ship overturned and sank in the rumbling wailing. I don't know how many people were involved in the whirlpool of the sinking ship and drowned.
And just when everyone thought the male and female leads were bound to die, a miracle happened.
The two were still floating on the water, and at the same time, a wooden board floated beside them. Jack immediately pushed Rose up.
However, the problem came. This wooden board was not enough to support the weight of the two, which meant that only one of the two could survive.
Just like when Jack saved Rose for the first time, this time he still eloquently stopped Rose from changing positions with him.
In the cold seawater, he trembled and told Rose his last love:
"Remember, my heart will always love you, never change."
This line is a newly added one, which was not in the original version.
However, at this time, no matter what is said, it is not important. Jack's behavior is more moving than ten thousand "I love you"s.
And the miracle did not happen again in the end. Gao Liang, who gradually lost consciousness, let go of the hand on the wooden board and sank into the seawater. Rose looked at her lover who left her and cried heartbreakingly.
Beside Miss Luo Quan, there were also dense sounds of sobbing or sniffing. Some girls even cried out directly.
It is not polite to make too much noise when watching a movie, but at this time no one will blame, because everyone cried. Some boys even shed more tears than their girlfriends.
At the end of the movie, it returned to the elderly Rose again. She came to the place where the Titanic sank and threw the necklace she had cherished for 84 years into the sea, letting it accompany Jack and this moving love to sleep forever in the seabed...
At this point, the whole play ended, the cast list began to roll, and the lights gradually brightened.
But people didn't leave their seats, because "My Heart Will Go On" rang at this moment.
"
Every night in my dreams
Every night in my dreams
I see you I feel you
See you, feel you
That is how I know you go on
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance and spaces between us
Across the space and distance between our hearts
..."
Actually, many people came to watch "Titanic" for Miss Luo Quan at the beginning. It is said that she showed her face in the movie and sang the theme song.
However, from the beginning to the end, everyone didn't find her trace, but because the plot was too wonderful, people ignored this point.
And after "My Heart Will Go On" rang, everyone remembered this.
Miss Luo Quan had actually sung the updated version of "My Heart Will Go On" once, but with the movie just finished, everyone still heard a new taste and a new emotion.
Many girls who had stopped their tears, after hearing the high-pitched and distant "My heart will go on," collapsed into tears again, lying in their boyfriend's arms and crying loudly.
On the one hand, it was too sad, and on the other hand, it was because they cried too much and ruined their makeup, so they didn't dare to see people.
And Miss Luo Quan, who had already put on a mask in the seat, also had crystal clear tears in her eyes at this time.
She had actually watched this movie many times. She did shed tears a few times at the beginning, but after that, she didn't have much feeling.
And this new version is actually not much different from the original plot, and there is no particularly big emotional fluctuation from beginning to end, but after her own song rang, she couldn't help but shed tears.
People are emotional animals after all, and she is not iron-hearted.
Once she also longed to have such a beautiful love that would never die, and she also hoped to have a lover who was willing to dedicate everything to her, regardless of poverty or wealth, regardless of beauty or loss of color, regardless of health or illness, and would never leave.
She once dreamed of such a scene in her dream wedding. How she hoped to be one of the people who said "I do," but unfortunately, the cruel reality didn't give her such an opportunity.
And what is more cruel is that, regardless of past and present life, she seems to have no chance to say this, even if she is already richer than her previous life.
Thinking of this, Miss Luo Quan showed a reluctant smile and took out a tissue to wipe herself.
Life is precious, love is higher, if for freedom, both can be thrown away.
This is probably the best excuse she can find for herself now.
