Five Feet Away (2019)
7.2
2019 / United States / Drama Romance / Justin Berdoni / Haley Lu Richardson Cole Sprouse

This is a romantic film with neat play and putting hope on the screen.

The first thing that left a deep impression on me was the lens movement and focus changes of the film, which timely, skillfully and accurately conveyed the state of the characters and the relationship between the characters (the photographic viewpoint and editing are also very cleverly combined, and the video space of the vlog itself , the viewer's point of view and the real space where the shooter is located, the multi-dimensional audio-visual expression is more recognizable in a movie theater);

The second is the soundtrack, whether it is the melody or the lyrics, the design is well-designed, although a little more, but the emotional level is within my acceptable range (mainly the song is good, corresponding to the scene).

Then there is the overall rhythm of the film, without delay, in line with the audience's expectations and perceptions. Although there are some places that make me feel a little abrupt, such as Xiaobo's sudden death and Will's final departure, it is innocuous and reasonable. Coupled with the sincere and superb performances of the actors, it also adds a lot to the film.

American movies are well-versed in the psychology of the audience, and the plot points are set just right, especially the foreshadowing and reversal. In this regard, "Hello, Li Huanying" has also done a good job (probably because of the director's background as a sketch actor), which is worth learning.

There are also things that impress me emotionally. One is the attitude towards life and life, because there is love, life is worth cherishing; because of being alive, I have to participate in life and manage life; the second is love, I think love at the age of seventeen or eighteen is really true. Young and beautiful, young feelings and young bodies are so real and moving; coupled with their own illnesses, this love is a lot heavier. Not being together in the end, not having those bits and pieces, it's fine.

Maybe the reality will be more cruel, there are not such excellent medical conditions, there are not so cute boys and girls. Despite all human conditions, they still have similar emotional cores. We all know that "hope" is difficult to give directly from others, and to a greater extent, it is truly obtained in the process of interaction with the world and with others. But this kind of film, at least let people see hope.

    This movie will let everyone know more about this disease, cystic fibrosis. They are really miserable. They are caused by genetic defects. They keep secreting mucus. The lungs that don’t work well need to eat a lot of food to maintain nutrition. Although it's not a comedy, Will still leaves in a hurry. I changed my lungs for five more years, but the boy I liked was gone. I don't know the answer, but this woman doesn't have to go to see the lamp. Fortunately, the man didn't die, otherwise she would be dead. The male lead’s eyes are like that of the twilight woman haha

    After reading it, the story is even given 3, of course it can also be 3.5, but the performance and plot arrangement are a bit... ordinary (not that the acting is bad, but the heroine is a bit American, and it is difficult for Americans to get rid of this~). Think of it as a love story before you die (that is, just watch love). The male protagonist's face value is even given 4, the literary accent is small and melancholy, and the face is pleasing to the eye. I'm satisfied, after all, I just watch it for the male protagonist's appearance~~. In fact, even after watching this film, I didn't understand much about the disease in it, and the dialogue is quite meaningless (of course, people who like to talk about romance and pay attention to dialogue may find it very meaningful).
