A: When I want to look something like more original, I started to watch some Korean movies or Indian movies from Bollywood, which are really interesting. I was fairly surprised. Try it guys because Korean movies are great. Are great.
B: Korean movies are good but the ones – the typical thing about Korean movies, they always end bad.
韩国电影是不错,不过韩国电影中有一些典型的情节,而且结局通常不好。
C: They always end with cancer.
通常都有癌症情节。
B: Whereas Hollywood movies, usually there's always like it has a good ending.
而好莱坞电影的结局都很好。
A: And actually, Japanese movies do the same thing. The happy ending is not so granted. And probably many people like them for this reason.
实际上,日本电影和韩国电影一样。日本电影一般也不会是圆满结局。这可能是许多人喜欢这类电影的原因。
B: And I would say that even Norwegian movies, they try to, you know, go out from the norm that movies are supposed to end nicely. And that they have like a shocking ending. It's like reading a novel with a shocking ending that you wouldn't expect to happen.
A: Because I think some love movies really have a bad effect on the real life because people are trying to have the same relationship that they see on the movies. And then when it's not like – love is not like that. It's not that beautiful. It's not like happy ending all the time. And so they...
A: And then–and they are shocked when their real life – they see that they...
当他们的现实生活不像电影那样美好时,他们会感到震惊……
B: But not all movies are like that. I mean, even animation movies like you've seen Up, right?
可是并不是所有电影都是那样的。还有一些动画电影,你看过《飞屋环游记》吗?
A: Well, the plot is like they fall in love, they have like a nice time, and then the problematic moment. You know, they overcome like the difficulties, and then at the end, they live all together. Happy ending.
C: Well, that's the usual Western discourse of how you produce a movie. But I think nowadays, movie producers are trying to do a lot of different things from the past.
一般西方电影都是这样的。不过我认为,现在的电影制作人在努力制作与以前不同的电影。
A: Yeah, they try but basically...
对,他们是在努力,不过……
B: It's interesting to say because maybe why we prefer movies to have good endings and why we prefer them to be very harmonic is because maybe we don't want to watch depressing things. We want the movie to give us a good feeling in the aftermath.
B: Yeah, give us hope, give us like good thoughts. And you know when I watched Up for instance, which is an animation. When I just saw the first part of the movie, it really – I almost cried just watching it. I never cry to an animation film like that before. It was really, really touching.
