      Is it really beautiful?



      This girl with a poignant face, she is a fragile glass to herself, and a sharp knife to others Absolutely stupid story.
      Really, our starting point is primitive and irrational, we are entangled in some simple things that do not make sense.

      If you really have no confidence, and can be honest, can admit mistakes, then you have to change, Yes, we are all mortals, but why the ending of mortals must be ugly, must be mediocre. Maybe it takes a period of time to let each...

      "Love is a deep, tender, indescribable affection and concern," Siri said.

      "I love you, I love you...but we can't be together. Because I know that we are ordinary people, we won't be together forever...so we will be separated eventually, and then I will not be able to survive"

      This is the last word to a heartthrob boy from a girl who is restrained and alienated from the world.

      Keeping distance from the world may be out of self-confidence or self-preservation. Whether it's dealing with the world...

      Bitter Sweet Youth

      This is the most normal of Christophe Honoré's films I've seen, even the posters are so classic. Inexplicably, it was hit by it. Those long-lost classrooms, classes, the emotions of adolescence, and the bleak Parisian autumn scene became more and more nostalgic at the time of parting of this student era. The emotions in the film are handled very restrained, not as sharp as in British and American dramas. It reminds me of my own life all the time. This sense of substitution makes me always...

      Escape from beauty - the more you love each other, the more you want to leave

             I picked this movie when I wasn't in a very beautiful mood.

          Because of the principle from the bottom of her heart, Julie chose to leave the person she loved, even though the two had admitted to loving each other.

          "You are always easy to fall in love with, but how long will your love for me last."

          There are always people who say that they are afraid of love and dare not love.
          When people don't believe in promises at first, they don't...

      In the end, Juni is actually a very weak person. She doesn't believe in her own beauty. She only dares to be with Otto, who she doesn't love but loves her. But she always loves Naimos in her heart. Naimos is also a person who loves her. In love, Juni is afraid that Naimos's handsomeness will hurt her sooner or later. In the end Juni leaves and hurts Naimos and makes Otto commit...

    Evaluation action

    Director Christophe Honoré brought the 17th-century novel "Princess Clive" to a modern French high school campus, adding a bit of classical poetry to the film.
    The technique of the film seems to be calm, but the inexplicable audience will still indulge in it unconsciously. The setting of the triangular relationship and the love between teachers and students makes people feel the caution and excitement of walking alone at night. Director...
