This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 268 Love is the highest-grade inhibitor

The film flashbacks to the prosthetic surgeon's final words of advice and warning to David:
“Once you step off the edge, no one can come back, no matter how special you are.”

Standing atop the desolate tower, David smiled and said, "That's why I have to go; there's no other way, is there?"

With the last inhibitor injected into his body, David began his final burn.

He was no longer able to fulfill his mother's wish or Mann's entrustment. All David could do now was risk his life to rescue Lucy from Arasaka.

Li Xiaoyu took out her phone again to check the time. There was still almost half an hour left in the movie. This movie felt both short and long!

Zhou Liming felt a deep sense of sorrow upon seeing that David was prepared and calmly facing his death.

David, from living for his mother's wishes, to being awakened by Lucy that he is free, and then to willingly falling into mechanical ascension to protect what he cherishes.

This is both a journey of self-redemption and a search for freedom on the edge, and a journey of self-destruction and gradual depravity.

Re-examining David's decisions when he was on the verge of defeat, almost all of them pushed him into an even deeper abyss.

He became a cyberpunk in search of freedom, but after witnessing the tragedies of his new friends, he was forced to shoulder a heavy burden that was not his own.

David hesitated, felt afraid, and didn't know what to do more than once. He craved the approval of others and hoped that someone would tell him: You can do it.

Zhou Liming then realized that the statement, "It's not me who's wrong, it's the world that's wrong," wasn't just the resentment of an immature, adolescent teenager.
In the world of Night City, what profound and dark despair does this sentence truly represent!
Inside the floating car parking lot on the upper level of Arasaka Tower, Faraday and Arasaka are negotiating the terms of the incident.

David rescued Lucy in his Sinwidman, and Adam's Hammer appeared just in time to protect the person in charge from being killed by David.

Faraday also had one of his legs broken by David using his prosthetic body to manipulate gravity.

The trauma team is incredibly dedicated. David is even wearing a prosthetic body and confronting Adam with his hammer here, and they still dare to come and save Faraday.

At this moment, David, who was on the verge of going crazy, saw the trauma team and thought of their inaction in the face of his mother's death. In his distraction, Adam seized the opportunity and shot him in the abdomen.

David, his face contorted in rage, unleashed his full power, activating Sianwistan four times in succession, transforming into four afterimages that bypassed Adam's hammer and instantly annihilated the entire trauma team!
At the same time, the princess's rendition of "I Really Want to Stay At Your House" began to play.
This song is featured in the incredibly sweet scene between David and Lucy on the moon during Mewtwo in The Edgewalker 1.

It is precisely because this part is so famous and so popular that this English song has become so widely known.

But upon hearing that familiar melody again, Li Xiaoyu's eyes inexplicably welled up with tears; she knew that David's fate was about to unfold.

David did not choose to fight Adam's Hammer, who had also activated Sianwistan, but instead fled with Lucy, only to be blown away by a shoulder-mounted rocket fired by Adam's Hammer.

The cybernetic robot, powered by anti-gravity technology, slowly descended under the full moon. The recent outburst had driven David completely insane.

No matter how anxious Lucy called out to him, David's eyes rolled back and his body convulsed.

This time, there were no inhibitors to suppress David's condition.

Li Xiaoyu watched this scene with tears in her eyes; the small bag of tissues she had brought had already been used up.
She even posted on Weibo to remind her fans to bring enough tissues when watching the movie, but she herself was not prepared and could only tear a few pages from her rarely used notebook to wipe her tears.

Lucy cupped David's face in her hands, and the blurred image of David, symbolizing the indistinctness of his personality, closed with Lucy's touch. Then Lucy kissed him directly.

During the climax of the song's background music, against a backdrop of a blurred, enormous full moon, Lucy crouches down and kisses David, the two enveloped once again by purple and green rimlight.
This scene is exactly the same as the ending of the first movie, when Lucy and David confessed their feelings to each other!
Li Xiaoyu kept wiping away her tears, but she couldn't stop. This kind of movie is completely unfair!
Lucy's kiss truly pulled David back from the brink of collapse! It turns out that love is the most potent inhibitor!

On the big screen, there was a close-up of Lucy's face. Seeing Fan Binbin's expression of utter despair and sadness that prevented him from crying, Li Xiaoyu felt as if her heart had been hit with 10000 points of critical damage.

As is widely known, Chen Yuan was injured in an accident because of a conflict with Columbia Pictures over the ending of the film.

After his injury, Columbia Pictures had no choice but to give Chen Yuan maximum creative freedom, adopting his ideas and completing the film.

In other words, this scene was filmed after Chen Yuan suffered an accident that left him paralyzed on one side.

What kind of mood did Fan Binbin have when watching David, played by Chen Yuan, who was willing to turn himself into a human stick in order to save Lucy, to be able to portray such a heartbreaking scene?

Lucy wasn't surprised at all that David had been fitted with a super suit.

She knew David too well; he was that kind of person—the kind who would risk his life without hesitation to save others.

David also told Lucy that this was the only way he could protect her in the city. He couldn't protect his mother or Mann, but David wanted to protect Lucy and her dreams.

He didn't want to see those he cherished disappear before his eyes again, even if it cost him his life.

Lucy knew from the beginning that David's personality meant he would most likely die in Night City, so when she confessed her love, she said: "I don't want you to die."

In the movie theater, the sounds of wiping noses and soft sobbing echoed one after another. While wiping her tears, Li Xiaoyu secretly glanced at the girl in the front row who had been teased by her friend.

Although her face was not clearly visible at that moment, the way she was wiping away tears was evident from the way she was moving her hands.

Sigh, it turns out the tragic tone of the whole story was set from the very first movie.

Although Lucy kept emphasizing that she didn't want David to die, she seemed to understand that such repeated emphasis was useless.

David's character of burning his life out for others is the purest reflection of his soul.

Watching the two pour out their hearts to each other under the moonlight, Zhou Liming thought of O. Henry's famous short story "The Gift of the Magi".

The female protagonist sold her hair to buy her husband a watch chain, while her husband sold his gold watch to buy her a comb.
Although both sides' expectations were dashed, they gained something far more valuable than the gift itself.

Similarly, David, in order to protect and save Lucy, took a risk and ultimately fell into Faraday's trap;
Lucy, in her attempt to protect David, falls into a trap herself, becoming the very motivation for David to acquire the One-Piece Transformer.

From a rational and logical standpoint, this misalignment between their hearts does indeed mean that both people are causing trouble for the other.

But from an emotional perspective, their intentions were not in vain; their feelings ultimately aligned, just like this incredibly romantic scene under the moonlight, their hearts forever intertwined.

Considering the real-world relationship between Chen Yuan, who plays David and Lucy, and Fan Binbin, who are a famously loving couple, and the unfortunate events Chen Yuan has experienced,
This further elevates the romance.

If Chen Yuan had yielded to Columbia Pictures' desire to keep the main character out of the story so they could make a sequel, perhaps this situation wouldn't have occurred.

Even if it did, it would never have the effect of moving most people in the theater to tears.

Fan Binbin's performance at this moment cannot be described as acting at all. Her sadness, grief, and worry for David are completely her genuine feelings towards Chen Yuan himself!
