As everyone knows. Utah is one of the most conservative states in the United States...... And Salt Lake City as a Mo. Door. Teach the base camp. More than 70 percent of the inhabitants are Moto. Door. Cultists of the Church. This is the most religiously unified city in the United States. So in this city. The political viewpoint and artistic aesthetics have always had a strong religious color. Something like "Salt Lake City Tribune." it。 laktribuu", "Thesarith Morning Post." ruiu)" such a newspaper. All have a distinctly religious leaning. As a result, the influence of these media outlets has always been confined to Utah. It is difficult to make further breakthroughs.

But what's interesting. Robert Redford, however, set up the maverick Sundance Film Festival next to Salt Lake City, Utah. The Sundance Film Festival wants to get enough attention. Media coverage is an indispensable part of this. The Sundance Film Festival has been established since 1985. A cooperation agreement was reached with the "Salt Lake City Weekly".

The Salt Lake City Weekly is an emerging media outlet. Compared to the "Salt Lake City Tribune", which was founded in 1870, the "Salt Lake City Weekly", which was founded in 1984, can be said to be a rookie. It's not even older than the Sundance Film Festival. But precisely because of the youth. Therefore, the "Salt Lake City Weekly" is not as conservative and strict as other old newspapers, it is more energetic, it is also bolder, and it is naturally more suitable for something as new and brave as the Sundance Film Festival.

The Sundance Film Festival has entered into a partnership agreement with Salt Lake City Weekly. During the festival." The Salt Lake City Weekly is published daily in a special issue. A special feature is then published in the newspaper's regular issue every week for detailed coverage.

The Salt Lake City Weekly is the official house catalogue of the Sundance Film Festival. Over the past decade. They have witnessed the growth of the Sundance Film Festival step by step. At the same time, it also grows with the film festival. But objectively speaking." The Salt Lake City Weekly is still limited in its reach. Even in the media-barren state of Utah, it still can't match the powerful appeal of the Salt Lake City Tribune. And leaving Utah has no influence; And the same is true of the Sundance Film Festival." The mecca of independent film festivals" this reputation is loud and sound. But the thunder is loud and the rain is small. Ten years have passed and it is still tepid. Simply because independent films never really made it into the mainstream.

But this year it has been completely reversed." Salt Lake City Weekly" as the official house magazine. They were the first newspaper to get an exclusive interview with the crew of "Before Sunrise". walked in front of the "Los Angeles Times" and other bigwigs who were calling for wind and rain in the United States. That special issue. A full 830,000 copies were sold—more than the Salt Lake City Weekly sold in the second six months of 1994 combined.

Sundance surpasses the Golden Globe in the midst of feats." The Salt Lake City Weekly "bore the brunt. Many of their reports have even been reprinted by the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times. Let them become famous in one fell swoop. Really know what the star effect is. What is called national influence.

Especially in the midst of the street blockade in Park City." Salt Lake City Weekly" with the help of the landlord's advantage. Completely restore the truth of the matter. Including the little girl's family's crazy move towards Hugo. Including post-mortem interviews with many of the festival's loyal fans who lost their minds that day. It is the only media out there that can present the full picture of the event. Let it become famous in one fell swoop.

Utah has long been hailed as a news desert. Even the Salt Lake City Tribune, a monopoly, has no influence outside of Utah -- and many have even derided it as a "motorcycle." Door. Teaching Special Issue". But this time." The Salt Lake City Weekly has reversed this stereotype for many people. It is famous in Nebraska and Texas next door.

So." The Salt Lake City Weekly "It's like a chicken blood up and down. They all know it. This year's Sundance Film Festival is a great opportunity for them to rise. Just catch the "before sunrise" and Hugo on this bus. Not to mention the promotion of influence to the whole United States. At least in Utah, it has a place.

Jesse James, a reporter for the Salt Lake City Weekly, ∫ had already made up her mind. She had to rack her brains and do everything she could to compliment and praise "before sunrise". She doesn't think it's going to be an easy task. Because the independent films that appear at the Sundance Film Festival are all odd. It's very difficult to get the audience's affection. But even then there was no way to stop her. Because she knew this was her best chance to work for the newspaper.

But when Jesse actually finished watching the movie. But she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. That's how she fell in love with "Before Sunrise". Fell in love with the man with a childlike smile on the corner of his mouth. Fell in love with the woman whose eyes were full of lazy flair. Fell in love with the bond between a man and a woman.

Jesse couldn't help himself. I've been sitting in front of the big screen and savoring it. So much so that she missed the opportunity to interview Hugo for the first time. But she didn't care at all. She then watched the second and third broadcasts of "Before Sunrise". Most ordinary movies simply don't stand up to the scrutiny of repeated watching. But "before sunrise" is different. Every time I watched it, Jesse had a whole new feeling. Listen to the same conversation over and over again but have different takeaways. She is so passionate about this movie. So much so that she was immersed in the cold moonlight of Vienna and was unwilling to return to her senses.

So. When Jesse writes a movie review. Both hands are shaking. That's not the brain talking. It's the heart and soul whispering.

"This is an extremely moving love movie. But it is also an extremely simple love story: a man and a woman meet unexpectedly on a train. With a good feeling. Spent the night together in Vienna. That's all.

There are no ups and downs. Nothing memorable happened. There are no transitions and progressions that sublimate the feelings of the two people. It's as simple as that: normal dating. Feel free to eat. Endless chat. Shallow drinking. It's basically a love story without any plot.

But it's precisely this kind of simplicity. It restores the truest face of love. There is no mountain alliance and sea oath, no stormy waves, no vigorous and vigorous. Can love still burst out? Hidden behind simple story threads. But it explores the two most important themes of love: the passing of love and the blooming of love.

The beauty and timelessness of this story. First of all, because of the transience of this love. It only lasted one night. It's fleeting. Like a meteor gliding across the sky. Because good love often has to be short-lived. It's like the man in the movie said: we tend to be bored with ourselves. Because we can't escape ourselves. You have to put up with yourself all the time. Both parties in love. If you don't know how to take the initiative to let love pass or change at the right moment. Then love will eventually and surely lead to its own death: because. If we can't even stand it ourselves. And how can you ask others to put up with yourself. How can you put up with another person for a long time?

But. The death of love and the passing of love are two very different things. When the flame of love has not been extinguished. Actively losing love. In fact, in a sense, love will last forever - always stay in the most beautiful moment. Like the little thirteen-year-old girl in the nameless cemetery: ten years have passed. The woman who was thirteen years old at the time was ten years older. And the little girl who lost her life is still only thirteen years old. Lost lives. Instead, it made her thirteen years old an eternity. No people lost their lives. But let the youth die slowly.

So. People always miss their first love when they were young and ignorant. Always nostalgic for youthful love. Because it can't be achieved. Because death in the most splendid and gorgeous time. So he left the most perfect posture in his memory forever.

The end of the story. Men and women on the platform chose to separate. So this love has become a classic eternity. Before love dies. Take the initiative to extinguish the burning flames. But it left a trace of starlight in the depths of the soul that will never be extinguished.

The touching and beautiful thing about this story. Another reason lies in the naturalness and spontaneity of this love. After two people meet. Talk naturally, feel good naturally, spark naturally, hold hands naturally, kiss naturally. Not resisting but not reluctant either. To like is to like. Outspoken. When you fall in love with those lovely lips. The lip flap is already on your tongue. Because she knows what you crave for her. And she craves your touch just as much.

Such a simple and natural love. In real life, it is the hardest to encounter: it is not because this kind of love is too complicated to get it. Precisely because it is too simple to get. Love in life often has too many strategic calculations. As the woman in the story says: too much thought. Too much self-preservation

How many men would dare to invite a strange woman they met on the train to spend a night in a city they were completely unfamiliar with. And how many women would take the initiative to be honest about their love and true feelings? And most importantly. And how many men and women hug each other overnight to put the exchange of ideas first. And the entanglement of the body is secondary?

A kiss. A hug. One night. This is just the beginning of a love affair. Afraid of failure, we start a formal relationship; There was always too much fear before. You have to find out a qiē before you want to start. But I forgot about it. There are many things before love begins. It's never possible to know.

The simplest love is the rarest. The simplest love is also the most moving.

The sincerity and wonder of this story. The last reason is the collision of ideas between men and women. Every conversation seems casual but hides a deep meaning. Two people discuss from philosophical issues to the cycle of life. It can be traced back from the true meaning of love to the essence of marriage. and then from the differences between men and women to chatting to revealing the truth. Paragraph after paragraph of conversation brings the two strange souls closer and closer. The whole process is so fast and so slow. But yet so real and beautiful.

Watching a man and a woman meet like this. Talk like this. Just like that, side by side. Look at each other like that. Just smile like that. Just kiss like that...... It is as if we can see the process of love bursting out little by little. Beautiful. Be in ecstasy. In a trance. It makes people lose themselves in the time between light and shadow

The movie is over. Woke up from a dream. But the heart is left in the story. This is true love. This is the real movie. ”.
