      We are meant to be

      I watched this movie alone at home on two nights of heavy smog in Beijing. I was interested in seeing the word Serendipity from a Yale friend's signature. I have always felt that winter is a bit cold, and it may be a bit difficult to live alone. But suddenly, it fits with the concept of love in this movie. The most important thing in love is confidence ~ work hard for each other, firmly believe in each other's feelings, and be unswerving, even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers,...

      Fate is destined by heaven, or is it something that people strive for?

      The film tells that the male protagonist and the female protagonist met by accident and spent a few hours together. Later, due to some accidents, the two separated. A few years later, when the two were preparing to get married, they thought of each other and began to look for people all over the world, hoping to meet Ta... …

      "Fate is Destined" was released in 2001. The story of the film seems to be very old-fashioned. Two people who have only seen each other for a few hours have no...

      Which fate theory to choose

      (one)

      Kate's eyes speak.

      The first time I sat and chatted in a cafe, my eyes were glowing.

      (two)

      Can they measure a right or wrong with this fate theory they are entangled in?

      There are countless possibilities:

      1) After meeting for the first time, after drinking sweet water, if both parties have cherished such a rare encounter, and then...

      It is much better to figure out before marriage than to mess around after marriage

      People will not see many things clearly from the beginning, including themselves and love.

      I think both of them are lucky in the film, they both felt vaguely problematic before marriage, and both were able to sense their emotions, which I think is good. It may take many years for many people to realize something, or even a lifetime to realize who they really are.

      They were so lucky that they both cared about each other at the...

      Falling in love with you is destiny, but being together is "I" responsible

      "Fate is Destined": Before entering a stable and boring marriage life - a week before the wedding, Zhuang Jun, a well-behaved 35-year-old young man, was constantly reminded by various signs of Crush, who had been fascinated by his dreams but passed by for 7 years. For Sara, Zhuang Jun must understand that if he doesn't bravely break the so-called "fate" agreement to find Sara, then he may miss his true love for the rest of his life this time.

      The...

      It is in line with my view of love, even if the probability is small, fate is destined. I heard stay hungry stay foolish again. Kate Beckinsale is...

      I like the male lead. Fate is destined to be right, but the heroine, you are arrogant, what's the matter? Hey, you must write a phone number on a piece of money, and it is fate that it comes back to you again, this is the arrangement of fate Is it romantic? As a non-romantic DS engineering girl, I can't understand why this is so. When you are a god, you can cherish the people in front of you. In addition, the best man could not write a speech but wrote an obituary, which was very...

      Recommended by an uncle. But I only gave three stars. Because the movie interprets the beauty too perfectly. So the reality seems to be very incomplete....

    Behind the scenes gags

    At the beginning of the film, the scene where the male and female protagonists meet is not the original version made by the director, but before the film is finished, the director felt that there should be a stronger spark between the two actors and filmed again.
    The Christmas snow scene in the film was actually shot in July. In order to create a real Christmas atmosphere, the crew spent a lot of effort.
    The artificial snow scene in the...

    Evaluation action

    "Serendipity" is a warm and romantic love movie full of coincidences. The combination of handsome men and beautiful women is a prerequisite for such movies. The handsome John Cusack and the gentle and graceful Kate Beckinsale undoubtedly have such external conditions. And easy plot design is also indispensable. The film is still a tricky routine, but it has played new ideas. All kinds of unexpected misunderstandings and mistakes...
