After finding a seat and sitting down, Elizabeth looked around and complained, It's all your fault. If you don't choose this movie, you will have to wait for several minutes.

Eric shoved the popcorn and coke he was holding to the girl and said, It's what you want to watch on a whim. It's better to wait a few minutes than to come in and watch halfway through, and this movie is very good.

Have you seen it? the girl asked after hearing Eric's comment.

Eric nodded: That's right.

The girl rolled his eyes at him: What does it mean, yes or no or no.

Eric ignored the girl's snatch. He couldn't say that he had seen it in his previous life. Speaking of which, when the movie was released, Eric also specifically told Nicole to watch the movie and try to figure out Meg Ryan's acting style.

However, sitting here at this moment, while mulling over the first few minutes of the movie, Eric noticed something very interesting.

The screenwriter of When Harry Met Sally is a female screenwriter named Nora Ephron. Although the female writer-director has produced many very successful works, her reputation is very low. For movie fans, when people mention her works, people ∝∈, .. usually think of the actors and actresses in the movie, and no one realizes her as a director and screenwriter.

Of course, these are not interesting places. What Eric found was, at least in the works of Nora Ephron he had seen. The heroines all have a very common characteristic of sweetness.

The reason why Meg Ryan won the title of an American sweetheart. It is because of Nora Ephron's When Harry Met Sally. In Nora Ephron's other works, the heroines are given the attribute of sweet. In addition to Meg Ryan, the glamorous Nicole Kidman became sweeter in Pretty Witch, and the plain-looking Lisa Kudrow became sweeter in Inner Gods and Outer Ghosts, even Even Meryl Streep was sweetened in Nora Ephron's early Heartfire.

From the heart, it is estimated that the female screenwriter is a little woman in her heart, and will endow many actors with completely different styles with the same attribute.

The lights in the auditorium went out, and the silent subtitles passed. The most distinctive point of the film appears in the camera. The white-haired old couple recalls to the camera how they came together many years ago.

Although the old couple in the lens are actors,

But the stories they tell are real material based on interviews with real-life couples by screenwriter Nora Ephron. Eric listened with interest, but Elizabeth next to him was a little confused: Eric, what's going on?

Don't worry, take your time.

While speaking, the camera has switched to the campus of the University of Chicago, where the young male and female protagonists who are about to enter society meet for the first time. On the way to New York in a carpool, they stuck to their outlook on life. They were arguing with each other all the way, and no one could convince the other. They swayed their last traces of youth and frivolity, and finally broke up unhappily.

Five years later, they meet again, the heroine finds a lover, and the hero is about to get married. Maybe they feel that their life is about to be complete. At this time, a person is always the most peaceful and tolerant, so they try to contact and think that maybe they can become friends.

Five years later, the male lead divorced and the female lead broke up. Under the teasing of the god of fate, the two people who fell to the end of the world met again and became real good friends, at least they thought so.

This time, Time did not rush to run away, and started jogging. As the time together became longer and longer, they became friends who talked about everything, and thoughtfully introduced their best friends to each other, trying to piece together two pairs of marriages. They succeeded, at least, half-successful, their best friends successfully formed a couple, met each other, fell in love, and were about to get married. While sending their blessings, the stubborn men and women still insisted on their insistence, and felt that since they wanted to be friends from the beginning, they should not destroy this relationship.

Misunderstandings, or dry wood and fire, or it may be a matter of course, all in all, going to bed is unavoidable. Although they woke up early in the morning, they began to panic, began to worry and avoided each other. On the lonely and noisy New Year's Eve, the male protagonist finally couldn't help confessing, and then kissed in tears.

The camera finally stopped on the classical-style sofa, and it was no longer the white-haired old couple, but the married couple, chattering and talking. Of course, disputes were inevitable.

Twelve years and three months, the beautiful youth burns out, and a new wife is needed.

The lights are on, it's out.

The crowd was crowded, the men and women watching the movie seemed to have become conjoined babies, sticking to each other and whispering to each other as they walked out, and there were even many men and women still staying in their seats and kissing like no one else.

Elizabeth was holding a bucket of popcorn that she only ate a few bites of. She was bumped a few times by passers-by, and finally got close to Eric and said, This movie is very good.

Yeah, the shots taken by the director are very good, especially the depiction of the seasons, the scene of Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan in the woods, the shots are beautiful, and the maple leaves are like life. At the last moment of another reincarnation, it blooms recklessly and gorgeously. Oh, and eyes, I don’t know if it’s intentional or not, we can always find the protagonists’ eyes that meet each other clearly and clearly. You know, the eyes are the windows to the soul. The words are not just words, through these shots, a lot of emotions can be conveyed to the audience unconsciously, and maybe I can use them more in my own movies in the future...

Walking out of the movie theater, I heard that Eric was still chattering about his own analysis, the girl suddenly became very angry for some reason, and threw the half bucket of popcorn in her arms into the trash can, making a thud A loud noise attracted the attention of the surrounding pedestrians, but also stopped Eric, who was still explaining.

Uh... Eric shrugged when he saw the girl's actions, and didn't talk about it anymore.

After getting in the car, watching the girl fasten her seat belt silently, Eric confirmed and said, Are you going to Julia's place?

Well, Elizabeth nodded, and added, It's still far from Julia's place, why don't I drive to your place first, and I'll drive back by myself when you get off the car, anyway, you definitely won't have only one car, right? , just change another one to go to work tomorrow.

No problem, Eric calculated the distance and found that it was the most convenient, so he started the car without objection.

It took more than 30 minutes to reach the door of Eric's mansion, and the girl who used to always like to chat and ask questions abnormally didn't say a word.

So, see you tomorrow? Stopping the car, Eric unfastened his seat belt.

Hmph... Elizabeth snorted softly, staring at Eric, as if to sweep the hateful man down with her eyes.

The atmosphere was deadlocked for a few seconds, Eric turned off the engine and turned off all the lights, groping in the dark to reach out and squeeze the girl's pointed chin: Okay, do you think this will work?
