I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

The battle continued, and the battle between another bandage and the mercenary leader Chang Pu was full of power and grace. However, with the restlessness of the monster under his feet, everyone could not escape.

thump--

Defeated and falling into the water, Calamus looked at the light projected on the water. She stretched out her hand, but more darkness enveloped her body.

In an instant, all the ships were swallowed up by the nameless darkness and sank. Only the eternal sea occupied all of Ms. Merritt's thoughts.

When humans are in the deep sea, they will be in a superposition of two states: claustrophobia and emptiness.

In that dark and gloomy world, there are unknown things that are ready to move, arousing the deepest fear in human hearts.

The vastness of the sea and the various creatures hidden in it give people endless reverie and unstoppable imagination.

Since ancient times, the ocean itself has been one of mankind's fears, deified along with the sky and the earth.

Now, Ms. Merritt feels the same way.

For a moment, she felt suffocated.

It was an indescribable feeling of occlusion. The air in the screening room suddenly became as heavy as sea water, and even breathing became difficult. Ms. Merritt couldn't help but hold her breath and felt a tightness in her chest. It was stuffy, and her legs struggled unconsciously, like a drowning person.

Under such circumstances, she saw a huge, beyond-imagined black shadow rising from the bottom of the sea. All the people who fell into the water, the fragments of the ships, the fragments of the shells, everything seemed to be small and insignificant things. .

In that huge black shadow, even death cannot be called eternal.

Those who fell into the water were wrapped in black and made no sound. No one knew what their final outcome would be. Was they swallowed and torn by the shadows and died in pain? Or does it dissolve and disappear, without any consciousness? Or was he transported directly to the sea several miles away and safe and sound?

The unknown is the biggest fear.

Ms. Merritt even felt that the whole room was darkened.

The oppressive, humid early summer air in the countryside of southern France penetrated into her lungs like a ghost, like thick glue, blocking her respiratory tract bit by bit. As the clouds covered the last trace of moonlight, the screening room fell into I couldn't see my fingers, only the projection screen was glowing, illuminating the room.

Silence, save for the faint sound of the ocean current passing by her ears, took over Ms. Merritt's body.

She straightened her legs, grabbed the armrest of the sofa with her hands, her eyes widened, her whole body looked like a drowning person, her face was ashen.

Until the camera was pulled out of the water, it was the face of the protagonist. He was pulling the camera's main perspective and dragging it up to the water.

For the first time, Ms. Merritt thought this man was so handsome.

She discovered that it was the heroine Amber who was pulled up.

There were only shipwrecks around, and even the corpses of those unfortunate people could not float on the water. Amber spit out a lot of seawater, and she lay on the board, her whole body soaked.

Ms. Merritt noticed that her body, which had been scorched due to the use of the prayer, had recovered, and the moonlight fell on the girl's body, making her whole body shine.

French movies attach great importance to showing the youthful beauty of girls, and in the current shot, there is a messy sea, a huge black shadow that doesn’t know when it will appear again, and the cold moonlight. Among them, a pure and innocent girl, this is enough A scene that touches the heart of any viewer.

What makes Ms. Merritt happy is that the director did not immediately arrange an emotional scene between the male protagonist and the female protagonist like some traditional movies. The two of them drifted on the sea like survivors, intoxicated by the illusion reflected in the match. After drying the clothes, Amber hugged the dog and fell asleep, while the male protagonist just stood aside like a gentleman.

Some directors like the suspension bridge effect, which means that there must be a sex scene before a battle, or a kissing scene after a crisis. Ms. Merritt believes that this simply means that they don’t understand how to portray feelings step by step, and can only use this method to portray them. Forcibly bringing two people together.

But now, in the interaction between Amber and the male protagonist, what Ms. Merritt sees is just a picture of a confused girl and a persistent mercenary, two people helping each other to overcome difficulties together.

The drifting on the sea makes people feel uneasy, but the dog can still catch fish. Two people and one dog are warming themselves on the wooden board. The girl eats food that is not "elegant" for the first time. The excitement and excitement after meeting the island, on the beach The interaction on the screen, this plot makes people feel calm.

Although there is still a long and dangerous journey ahead, even though they are now on an isolated island and struggling to survive, at least now, the two of them don't have to worry about anything else and just get along with each other.

Ms. Merritt was very familiar with this feeling. She thought about it for a moment and found that this is the daily portrayal that island countries’ movies are very good at. Many movies in island countries, unlike European and American movies, have many clear goals or rhythms. Many times they are just depicting The daily life of the protagonist and the people around him does not make people feel boring. On the contrary, through such bits and pieces, the character image becomes more full.

Many art films in Europe and the United States are truly art films, the kind that can make people fall asleep while watching them. Various neon scenes, montage, stream of consciousness, and actors with slumped faces are all stimulating everyone's sleep nerves.

When Ms. Merritt saw this episode, she couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy in her heart.

Because Amber is a girl who has been responsible since she was born, she may have grown up according to her family's plans since she was a child, without having her own freedom.

And now, there is no doubt that it is the freest time in her life.

Ms. Merritt is very clear about how rare such time is, because she knows that later in the story, they will definitely continue on the journey and finally reach their destination. The freedom and comfort now are just a dream for a moment, and they will always wake up.

This feeling of feeling that good times are fleeting is like a touch of wine that falls down your throat and then comes back to your heart.

The so-called material sorrow may be such an emotion.

Ms. Merritt even felt a sense of loss when she saw that the protagonist discovered the pirate camp and was able to seize the pirate ship and continue to the destination.

There is no doubt that her heart has been drawn to the characters in the story and she is completely immersed in it.

After wandering on the sea, they arrived at Long Maple Island, where they pretended to be siblings and lived on the island, teasing the little girl. Amber said that she wanted to give up her responsibilities and stay here as an ordinary girl. This plot accurately hit Ms. Merritt's heart. , she felt that this was the warmth and healing she wanted, a growth story that coexists with literature and art.

Even looking at Lu Jiao, I felt that he was a bit delicate.

Who hasn’t been a little girly yet?

If the story ended here, Ms. Merritt's reason told her, it would definitely be imperfect.

But she hoped the story would end here.

However, the director was definitely not willing to let the story end like this, and a turning point appeared.
