Beginning of spring today. It feels like winter is not over yet.
The beginning of the third decade of the 21st century, with so many bad news, makes people feel that this winter is particularly long.
The number of new cases of new coronary pneumonia every day is still in the thousands, and the total has exceeded 20,000. The control is still going on and life is still out of order.
Staying at home makes you panic, but there is not a spring that will not come, we are all looking for a way to be strong - keep watching movies.
Among the many films that have been withdrawn from Valentine's Day due to the epidemic, there is an American pure love film "Five Feet of Heaven".
In fact, its themes are quite appropriate: infectious diseases, isolation, death.
But it's not that heavy, and it's a teenage romance.
Since Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort's "The Fault in the Stars" became a global hit in 2014, this kind of film about the love of terminally ill boys and girls has continued to be produced.
Such as Amandla Steinberg and Nick Robinson's "Everything and Everything". For example, Back to Mars by Asa Butterfield and Britt Robertson.
For example, "Midnight Sun" by Patrick Schwarzenegger and Bella Thorne.
Among them, "Back to Mars" was released in mainland China in October 2017, with a box office of more than 9 million yuan.
These films relate to lung cancer, bone cancer, severe combined immunodeficiency, leukemia, and xeroderma pigmentosum. "Five Feet Heaven" presents a disease we don't even know about, cystic fibrosis (CryticFibrosis).
In the film, the heroine Stella said that this is a genetic disease that can cause the body to produce a lot of mucus. It is hereditary. The heroine is born in the late stage, which does not mean that she will die immediately, but it is also a possibility. The lungs are only 50% functional now, and they have been waiting for years for a lung source for organ transplantation. Patients with the disease can infect each other, so they should not be touched and must be at least six feet apart at all times.
The male protagonist Will is also a cystic fibrosis patient, and he is in severe condition. He has Burkholderia bacteria on his body, which is highly contagious and cannot be removed from the body after being infected by others.
This kind of youth pure love film, casting is very important, the heroine does not have to be very beautiful, she needs vitality and cuteness, while the male protagonist must be handsome, and flirting is a must-have skill.
"Five Feet Away" Will is played by Cole Sprouse, who was born in 1992 and made his debut as a child star.
About him, there is an important information, he played "Friends" when he was a child!
As Ross and Lala's ex-wife's son Ben↓
In "Five Feet End of the World" grow like this↓
Totally unrecognizable!
In fact, we are very familiar with terminally ill films, after all, we have been baptized by Korean dramas. It has been a long time since the Korean style of selling miserable sensationalism went out of fashion, and now the focus is to make it a little more refreshing, and to master the proportion of sugar and sadness.
Setting the protagonist of a terminally ill film in a teenager is a neutralizer for removing oil and greasy. After all, compared with adults, boys and girls may have immature understanding of love, life and illness, but they are the purest.
Speaking of which, Cole Sprouse is also overage. In the film, Will just turned 18 (the heroine is 24 and plays 17). Fortunately, he is handsome and has a temperament, so the audience will not play.
"Five Feet Away" was released in the United States in March 2019. It was a small production of only 7 million US dollars and had a global box office of more than 90 million US dollars.
It's a pity to withdraw the file in mainland China this time. It is quite suitable for Valentine's Day.
The plot is not complicated, the kind of routine, the young patients staged the drama of happy friends, fell in love with each other in the interaction, developed a love between life and death within a month, and finally faced the eternal separation after the man's affectionate confession.
Although Stella has been ill for many years, her parents divorced, and her sister died in an accident, she is very cheerful on the surface. She often posts videos on YouTube to talk about her illness. She is also very self-disciplined in treatment.
Will is unrestrained, unconcerned about daily treatment, and shows a pessimistic attitude towards death, because his condition is no longer capable of organ transplantation, and he is currently undergoing trials of new treatments, but the chance of success is slim.
Lang Youqing and concubine have intentions and need divine assistance. Poe, a comrade patient, shoulders this responsibility. Later, Poe's death also became a touch. Stella and Will escaped from the hospital and walked to see the city lights in the snowy night to spend the most romantic moment. When the sweetness reached the threshold, the plot took a turn for the worse, Stella fell into the water, and Will forced Stella to do artificial respiration. After the two were rescued back to the hospital, Stella successfully transplanted a new lung. Will had no cure. Before leaving, Will helped Stella fulfilled her wish, and the two said goodbye through the glass.
The story is just such a story. To make it look good and move people, it mainly lies in the setting of the bridge and the personal charm of the male and female protagonists.
The performances of the male and female protagonists are still dynamic and natural, and there are sparks in the interaction, which is worthy of a face.
There is also a certain level of hair sugar-
The two undressed by the pool to reveal their scars, which had nothing to do with desire, but just expressed their frankness and pity for each other.
Being six feet apart is a responsibility to each other, but I want to be closer to you, even if it's just a foot. Stella and Will walked around the hospital holding the ends of a billiard cue that was about five feet long (about 1.52 meters), and the audience couldn't help but smile.
Holding hands through gloves on the snowy night, playing on the frozen lake, he said I love you, and she returned me too, slowly approaching each other, but did not dare to kiss.
The classic scene in the snow should be a tribute to Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet's "Warm and Light"↓
How can the handsome guy have no literary skills, Will is good at painting.
Not only did he draw pictures of Stella, but he also painted the people who were important to Stella, reminiscent of Jack on the Titanic.
They are each other's gloves in winter and street lamps in the dark, but when you love someone, you have to know how to let go.
In the end, when Will poured out his farewell confession through the window, Cole Sprouse also reached the peak of his appearance in this film. He had to put on some sick makeup before, and now the show is about to end, so let's be handsome.
The eyes are affectionate, the voice is moving, and the sky is still pitiful, making the sad moments like shooting VogueFilm. But what was a little illogical was the timing, Stella had just woken up after major surgery, and was still intubated.
It was arranged for her to experience the joy of fulfilling a dream, the warmth of a lover's gift, and the farewell of "I was born, and you are going to die". This emotional fluctuation is so great that the patient can bear it. The director was nice and didn't say whether Will died after leaving, but left an open-ended good idea.
Life is impermanent, and sometimes it ends before we notice it.
The story of "falling in love with the untouchable you" reminds everyone to cherish the people in front of us while we can still do it.
In the haze of the epidemic, don't forget, when you can take off the mask, give your loved one a kiss without measuring the distance.
