The whole movie has come to an end after the hero's character is gradually revealed to people. Although Emily and the male protagonist still haven't said a word, the little quirks that both of them have shown in the movie have already made the two of them bond.

Almost all the themes that the movie needs to reflect have been exhausted here. Warmth, caring, and love these themes have already made people feel warm in their hearts. And the rest is the happy ending that the movie needs - this is the last thing a romantic comedy needs.

There is still almost no communication and dialogue between the two people. From the meeting to the recognition, the two people are playing hide-and-seek emotionally until the two people actually meet; there is almost no dialogue between the two people. Until the last moment, the sensitive Emily opens the door under the encouragement of the blind old man, and when she meets the male protagonist's eyes, she still has almost no formal communication with the male protagonist.

However, even if there is no communication, it does not hinder the closeness of the two hearts. When the two meet, Emily finally confesses to the male protagonist at this time.

Unlike the French version, Levi didn't let them go to bed without saying a word; Americans may not be able to accept it. In this version of the movie, the heroine speaks, and the hero responds with a soft kiss.

His response explained his attitude. This kind of love also caused a small exclamation in the theater: Before the hero and heroine said I love you, there was almost no formal dialogue. This kind of love is too different.

However, a different kind of love is not necessarily unbeautiful, just like a different kind of movie is not necessarily bad. The movie Emily is such a movie with a different structure and characters. It's an emotional movie. This movie, how many people can say it's not good?

"On May 20, 1997, a machine was making cotton candy, a group of nuns were playing handball, and the temperature was 18 degrees Celsius..."

The voice of the narrator, accompanied by the sound of the accordion, rang out for the last time. The male protagonist is riding a bicycle, and Emily is hugging him, and the two of them have cheerful smiles.

There is no suspicion or scheming in the love process of this young man and woman, and there is no wedding dress and no beach at the end of their love. However, what people see is the real mutual attraction and fusion of hearts.

The actor's photo album opened again, only this time, in the photo album, there is already a list of cast and crew released after the movie ends. The movie is considered to be over here, and the lights in the projection hall are turned on almost at the same time. There was already a burst of applause in the entire venue.

Compared with The Lives of Others, this movie has a significant style change, but no one can deny its excellence. A romantic comedy can make people sincerely bless the hero and heroine after watching it. And began to think about the true meaning of love; such a movie is more successful than anything else.

"Thank you, everyone!" After the movie was shown, the entire production team also stepped onto the stage at this time. According to the premiere process, they also need to answer fans' questions and communicate with fans at this time.

In fact, not only them but other people also need to communicate at this time.

"It's no wonder that Mr. Levi has such confidence in this movie. His confidence is really not without reason." The people sitting in the audience watching the movie also started whispering after the movie ended. Spielberg eagerly nodded and chatted with his friends, "This is how movies should be shot. Love is the eternal theme of human beings. He can highlight this point. Compared with the last film, there is progress. And how long has it been since I have seen such a unique movie? The use of color, narrative techniques, and camera angles are indeed unique. When he said that he wanted to compete with us, this was not crazy."

The film's quality was unexpectedly high, which surprised Spielberg. Although he still thinks his movie is better, he has to admit that this movie is not lower than his level in terms of grade.

The scenes in his movies are indeed unmatched by other movies, and Spielberg also believes that there will be no second director in the United States who can control such a big scene better than him. However, the movie in front of him is also ingenious. The details, characters, and emotional changes are also intricate for him to play. He also has to admit that Levi made a good movie.

Although when he came here, he didn't pay too much attention to Levi's competition for the Oscar, after watching it, he had to admit that it was a good movie that was comparable to other movies.

He's only in his twenties... Could it be that the world is dominated by young people now?

"The color combination is green, yellow, and red... this should be the artistic style of the Latin people? This kind of large-scale combination does have a unique aesthetic feeling, but this kind of shooting is too divorced from reality. I never thought about it. What kind of movie can actually create this kind of atmosphere through shooting in addition to the story it tells. Moreover, the camera is quickly moved and rotated to express fantasy and observation of the world, and it can also echo back and forth; using different shooting techniques to shape the emotions of the characters is very well done, as well as the confession, have you seen the shooting technique?"

Sitting next to Spielberg is his photographer Janusz Kamiński, and after the movie is over, he is also surprised. It's just the question he raised, and he paid more attention to technological innovation. As a photographer, what shocked him, even more, was the novelty of the shooting technique and the gorgeous color matching: any photographer knows that the beauty of capturing the lens is the key for photographers to turn decay into magic, and novel shooting techniques are the means to sublimate the magic. He is the one who is most excited about the wonderful beauty of this movie.

"No, I just pay attention to the story. John, what about you?" Spielberg did not respond to his question: he knew that Kamiński would definitely ask the film's cinematographer, and there was no need to say more about it. He turned his head and turned his gaze to John Williams on the other side - he knew that Williams must have something to say.

As Hollywood's leading soundtrack master, after seeing this movie, he certainly noticed something, "Who composed this music, do you know? This soundtrack is amazing; I bet the person who wrote this song must be an artist who likes to try a different life; I am very interested; let's get to know him."

The music production of movies is basically classical music, but sometimes, the soundtrack of movies also needs some fresh infusion of blood. John Williams is a top musician; he has seen many different styles of music, but even with his extensive knowledge, he still thinks this tune is novel and unique: the use of piano, accordion, and violin. That's all, but in the music, what he heard was the sound of toy pianos and typewriters - it was unheard of to use these things to make music.

Only the most avant-garde and the best musicians can produce such a film soundtrack. Yann Tiersen's music can be said to have reached the best in terms of novelty and the degree of coordination with the original film. The classic works of this musician, who studied classical music since he was young but dabbled more in rock and roll when he was an adult and always intended to innovate, even a master like John Williams, after hearing it, he is full of praise.

"Have you heard what our technicians said?" Spielberg turned his head and looked at Tom Hanks, "How do you feel?"

"Very good movie." The look on his face was still calm, "No matter how much the box office is, the movie is very good."

Tom Hanks is still relatively calm; he can see that although this movie is extremely novel, it uses a lot of fresh ideas from various angles, but when it comes to the box office, there is definitely no way to compare with big productions. And if you want to talk about the competition with Saving Private Ryan, there is also a competition for the Oscars.

Hearing the words of a few guys, Spielberg also laughed: Their views are actually the same: this movie has many innovations, and it has created an amazing movie. Literary films can achieve this effect; no wonder Levi is full of confidence.

It's just that this is not what it used to be - last year Titanic was able to win an Oscar, why not this year's commercial film?

"I'm afraid that after this year's Oscars, someone will complain about Levi again." Spielberg laughed; even if the movie is full of praise from others, he is full of confidence in his film, "At that time, maybe someone will say that I rely on my old qualifications to suppress newcomers."

"Interested in meeting him and chatting with him?" Hanks asked.

"No, it's not here if we want to talk. This is his film premiere; we don't need to disturb his limelight." Spielberg shook his head and refused with a smile. He also saw that this movie will definitely be a sensation at this year's Oscars. After all, it was a great director, so there was no need to cater to others.

"Let's go, forget about it. We also have to think about promoting the movie in Europe." The premiere was over, and Spielberg knew how the movie was going to be, so he didn't want to stay there anymore. Such a good movie, he is sure, he will definitely be asked some deliberately tricky questions, "There is no need to stop here - but, you remember, if anyone knows about the shooting of Levi's next movie, remember to tell me - I can't wait to know what new film he will have."
