Comeback 487 applause
The film ended, and the curtain came down with the sad and quiet sound of the piano, and all the audience seemed to have lost their voices when they were re-immersed in the big screen of black and white 'color', and there was only silence on the scene, that slow and heavy silence.
There was no sound in the entire movie theater, and this silence was overwhelming, didn't everyone like this movie? This kind of repression seems to be contagious, so that everyone in the cinema space holds their breath and dare not act rashly, lest one breath of their own breath will 'disrupt' the solemn silence of the whole scene.
This is not the first time Hugo has watched "Schindler's List" but it is the first time to watch this work in a cinema, and for a full three hours, Hugo is not an actor, but just a most ordinary viewer, watching this epic masterpiece.
The story begins in the candlelight of the colored 'color', falling into a black and white, even the flash of red 'color' can not illuminate the heavy world, until the end of the story, all the 'color' is lit up little by little, and the familiar color 'color' world returns to the screen again, and then regains its calm, leaving only black and white.
This is not only a movie, but also a piece of history, a history that cannot bear to look back on, bloody, violently and heavily hit the soft underbelly of the heart, without exception, because in the face of the long river of history, everyone is a speck of dust, and the tragic massacre that broke out in the Second World War made all languages pale and powerless, just like the black and white of the big screen, making the world dim and lose its 'color'.
This is not the first time Hugo has watched "Schindler's List". However, the shock in his heart still broke all Hugo's defenses without any suspense, and the dullness that could not be expressed made it difficult to breathe. Tears didn't fall, but the heaviness of my heart made it impossible to make even a little sound in my throat. This is the power of cinema. Not only Hugo, but all the audiences in the entire cinema are like this, at this moment, there is no difference between ordinary audiences and journalists, and there is no difference between ordinary audiences and industry insiders, everyone is the same, in the face of such a historical truth, everyone is an ordinary person, everyone has similar feelings.
They are quiet, not because they don't like movies, but because their hearts are boiling, but they can't express their feelings in accurate words, so they can only watch the movie screen dim a little bit, and the subtitles of the cast list begin to slide by, they need time to settle their thoughts, they need space to reminisce about the story, in addition to silence, they are still silent, but the turbulent 'waves' in their minds have already broken the whole world.
The melodious piano sound echoed in the cinema, but no one made a sound, not even a person moved, the scene where everyone couldn't wait to leave the scene when the movie ended with the subtitles rolled was gone, and the scene where the audience praised or cursed at the end of the original premiere was also gone, and the whole scene fell into a sad and profound silence, this quiet, like the tombstone of Oscar Schindler, lying silently in the dark, but emanating ' The spirit and energy are enough to dispel the darkness of the entire world.
Silence is sometimes more powerful than noise; Silence is sometimes more 'colorful' than praise, and silence is sometimes more profound than thinking. At this moment, that's it.
The melodious piano sound gradually rose and became louder and louder, and the force that was enough to freeze the air was like a boulder pressing on everyone's chest, and then breathing became more and more rapid and difficult, and finally, someone couldn't help it, and the first one stood up suddenly, trying to break the heaviness with some movements, but found that the suffocating grief was still not relieved, so the hands involuntarily raised, and then hit each other fiercely, and the impact of the palms and palms produced a burst of pain, Let the brain gradually become clearer, so the intensity of the blow with both hands began to increase, the frequency began to increase, the applause began to echo in the open and long, and the inner feelings were vented little by little.
With the first one, there was a second soon, the crowd stood up scattered, and finally the audience collectively stood up, struggling to drum their hands, and the applause gradually gathered, from small to large, and finally evolved into thunderous applause, turning the entire dark movie theater into a stormy scene, and the applause swept like a tsunami, echoing out the echo of the endurance.
The pain brought by the applause vented all the feelings, and the emotions that had been suppressed for three hours were vented heartily at this moment, everyone applauded harder and harder, more and more 'excited', unconsciously, the warm eyes were occupied by the crystal tears 'flower', until this moment, the tears came out crazily, in the eyelashes' A hazy halo bloomed on Mao's cheeks, and all the tears were connected together, making the entire dark theater without any light shroud in a hazy halo, and then, the smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed proudly in the tears.
With a crisp sound, the lights of the cinema were finally turned on, and the warm "milk" yellow "color" halo sprinkled down, accompanied by applause to dispel the darkness little by little, the thick black "color" slowly faded like the "tide", and the light finally came! At this moment, the applause was pushed to a new high, and the roar that kept echoing continued to hit the inside of the movie theater, like an earthquake. The entire building of the National Theater, in an instant, I don't know if the shock of the soul is shaking, or the whole world is really shaking the ground.
The applause that surrounded Hugo from all sides hit Hugo's eyes without warning, and the warm tears instantly wrapped the whole eye, and the tears slipped down fiercely.
This kind of touching is brought by the movie, so that Hugo deeply felt the reason why he fell in love with the movie in the first place, just like music, because they all have the energy that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, shocks the heart, and evokes the reverberation, and that little resonance makes the "spirit" world extremely satisfied; It is enough for the audience to draw emotions from the film, maybe sadness, maybe happiness, maybe joy.
Therefore, at this moment, the powerful applause filled Hugo's whole heart, making him feel the satisfaction of last night on the stage of the Hollywood "Dew" Sky Theater again, and his heart was trembling slightly, this incomparable feeling is worth remembering forever. How fortunate Hugo was to be part of Schindler's List; He is even more glad that he has the opportunity to realize his dream of film and music!
Hugo wiped the endless tears in his eyes a little wolfly, turned his head to look over, but found that the crew members sitting next to him were wiping their tears in a panic, Steven and Spielberg buried his head between his knees, and his whole shoulders were trembling slightly, even from these two positions, Hugo could feel Steven's irrepressible moving and 'agitation' at this moment, and all the pressure and heaviness during the filming of the movie were completely vented at this moment.
As if infected by Steven, Hugo's mind once again resurfaced the figures of Regina, Perlman, Ludeger, and Leo Boud, whose faces have become old because of the passage of time, clearly telling the history of Oscar and Schindler, and Hugo is experiencing the whole process of the role of A'mon' and Goss, dark and struggling, terrible and contradictory, and that kind of 'fierce' love makes the tears that have just stopped their momentum break the embankment again.
Producer Katherine Kennedy looked back at the audience with a collective standing ovation, she knew that the audience loved the film, and this was the greatest affirmation of the crew, and now, it was the crew's turn to express their gratitude. So, Catherine gave Steven a big hug, then wiped the tears from her cheeks, hugged Steven and tried to stand up, but unfortunately Steven waved his hand and still buried his head between his knees.
Steven whispered something to Catherine, and Catherine immediately stood up and walked over to the rest of the crew, hugging each member of the crew and telling everyone to stand up.
Hugo was naturally no exception, he wiped the hot tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up, stood side by side with Liam, looked back at the figure behind him standing neatly and applauding in unison, and then joined the rest of the crew, walked directly in front of the big screen together, and accepted the baptism of applause from the audience.
Standing in front of the big screen, everyone in the entire crew also applauded, not to join the audience's applause, but because Steven was left alone sitting in place, still sorting out his feelings, the crew is now using applause to express their high respect for the director.
Steven immediately felt the swarming applause, he knew that this moment belonged to him, so he hastily wiped his tears with his sleeve, then took a deep breath, stood up directly, and then walked towards the crew who kept clapping. When Steven walked into the crew and turned around, the applause of the audience once again went to a high 'tide', this time it was a round of applause for the crew and the director.
Steven led the entire crew to bow deeply together, expressing his gratitude to the audience with this most direct action, and the audience looked at the crew who bent down and bowed in front of them, and they were even more 'excited' and couldn't move themselves, and the tsunami-like applause made the premiere of "Schindler's List" a feast!
Seven minutes, this continuous applause lasted for seven minutes, and the whole middle. The National Theatre is the center of the world.
