This narrative form is not necessarily easy

The first time I saw the title, I thought it was a 24-hour love story. After watching the movie, I realized that it turned out to be the same day of 24 years to tell the story of two people. It is true that as an original novel, this is a good cross-sectional description. By focusing on different freehand brushwork in 24 segments, it draws a moving picture. As Mr. Lei said: How to live romance in the face of life, old age, sickness and death?

However, after being adapted into a movie, this narrative form may not be easy. The first is the limitation of the length of the movie. 108 minutes are cut into 24 pieces. How to control the details? It's a pity that this film is a bit fragmented. In other words, movies are more likely to engage audiences with similar backgrounds or experiences, while audiences without their own emotional foreshadowing are more difficult to enter. Secondly, the language and words of the novel can fully grasp the focus of the description, so that each segment in the past 20 years has different distinctive features; while the film needs to fill the picture and move in any case, and also use other methods to highlight Want to express the main point, so even doing 20 paragraphs is quite difficult.

Just look at the content. From a normal point of view, the male protagonist is a bastard, and the female protagonist who fails to accomplish anything and repeatedly fails to live up to a true love, also euphemistically calls it a friendship. In the words of many women, men are children who never grow up. But then again, love may not be fair or not, as Ian said to Dex at the end of the credits "I didn't think you deserved her. She made you decent. And then in return, you made her so happy. So happy. And I will always be grateful to you for that."

    Although it's annoying Korean drama-style dog blood, but I can understand the heroine. The male protagonist is superficial and innocent, pure and stupid, with a self-confidence as bright and cruel as the sun, and someone who understands the meaning of lack and inferiority like the female protagonist cannot help being fascinated by that light. Lucky for the heroine, getting some sun for a while is worth it after all.

    Harry told Sally that men and women couldn't be friends because there was sex between them. When Dexter met Emma, ​​they had been entangled for 20 years because of the failed one-night stand that night. They finally got together, but it was so beautiful and short-lived. The movie was taken aback by the original book, and it directly became a mediocre account of cruelty. Maybe men and women can't really be friends. ★★☆
