There is a word in English called crush. The writer Liu Yu once wrote an article for this word in his essay "Send You A Bullet".

As a noun, cursh has another meaning: "to love briefly, passionately but shyly." For example, "I had a crush on him" means "I once liked him briefly, enthusiastically, but shyly."

This feeling is similar to the heartbeat, but it is different from the exact likes that want to stay with him for a long time. In reality, the ending of a crush is often dead.

Every girl must have had crush experience in her teenage years. At the age of ignorance of the world and the beginning of love, it is only natural to have an inexplicable affection for a boy.

For Netflix, which is already familiar with shooting youth romantic comedies, this time the theme of crush was made into the movie "To All the Boys I Have Loved".

"To All the Boys I Have Loved"

Different from other mainstream North American youth films, the heroine is set as an Asian girl.

High school life and young love have no ups and downs and unexpected reversals. However, the relaxed, romantic and cute story of girl growth is still full of emotions while watching the movie.

The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is 93%, and critics and audiences have given it high ratings. After all, crush is the shared youth memory of all mankind.

16-year-old high school girl Lara Jean (played by Lana Condor) grew up in a warm American family. Although there are quarrels with sister Margot and sister Kitty from time to time, but the relationship is very deep. Her mother died young, but her father gave her great care and love.

But Lara Jean has always had a sense of inferiority. She doesn't have many friends at school, and she often feels like an invisible person.

Lara Jean originally thought that her life would be spent in a way that could not be more ordinary, until one day, she found out that the love letter she never intended to send was sent.

This means that the five people she has crushed since childhood will know the secret that she has secretly liked them.

It is embarrassing to think about the scene where the crush is holding a love letter and asking about his own situation.

When Peter came to her, Lara Jean, who was running on the track and field, passed out.

Peter was her first kiss in seventh grade. A group of people were playing games at that time, and Peter was chosen to kiss Lara Jean.

This intimate physical contact is the first time for Lara Jean. At that moment, she was moved by Peter. After returning home, she wrote a love letter to Peter. But she knew that Peter was dating her friend Gen at the time, so this liking was gone.

Of course, this is not the worst. When Josh came to her with the letter, she felt the real world spinning.

In a hurry, she kissed Peter because Josh was someone she didn't even know how to explain.

Josh is Lara Jean's childhood friend, and her first favorite boy. However, before she had time to sort out her feelings for Josh, Josh walked with her sister Margot.

Seeing that the two are in pairs, so intimacy, Lara Jean can only secretly write down her love letter.

Although Margot chose to break up with Josh because he was going to study in Scotland, Lara Jean could not express his intentions anyway. She loves Margot so much, she doesn't want Margot to be hurt in any way.

Facing this dilemma, Lara Jean didn't know how to respond except to escape.

After learning about Lara Jean's experience, Peter sent out an invitation to "pretend to be a couple". Peter hopes to save the heart of betraying his ex-girlfriend Gen, and Lara Jean does not have to bother to explain to Josh.

The plot design of "To All the Boys I Have Loved" is somewhat similar to "Love You, Simon" that was on fire in the first half of the year.

The same is the routine of guessing boyfriend, but still watching with gusto.

The black brother Lucas of the back-to-school dance was a gay who came out semi-publicly, and was naturally excluded. Peter and Josh were really hard to choose. I once stood on the wrong CP.

Peter is a playboy in the eyes of outsiders, who looks cynical and can easily be classified as unreliable.

However, in the process of getting along with Peter, Lara Jean discovered Peter's kind and childish side. Peter and his sister Kitty got along well, and gradually opened up Lara Jean's heart and had real happiness.

In an in-depth conversation, the two exposed their fragile side to each other.

Lara Jean is afraid to meet new people because she is worried that the most important person in her life will leave.

After Peter's father divorced his mother, he quickly formed a new family. He pretends not to care, in fact he has been missing him all the time.

On the one hand, the relationship between Lara Jean and Peter has been heating up, and on the other hand, she has always remembered Josh in her heart.

If the fascination with other boys is out of fantasy, then for Josh, it is based on getting along with each other in daily life.

During the relationship between Josh and Margot, she frequently appeared in Lara Jean's life circle, but she could only secretly like to hide in the bottom of her heart, and then write down her feelings.

When Margot left, Josh also showed a good impression of herself. Will Lara Jean see her heart clearly and make the right choice?

In fact, who the heroine loves in the end is not the most important thing to choose. The most important thing is that she learned to grow while staggering to love others and accepting others' love.

The most touching thing about this film is the delicate depiction of shy girls who are difficult to talk to outsiders. Girls are always so sensitive and vulnerable, but they also want to be loved more.

Just like Lara Jean, when she likes someone strongly, she writes a letter for him.

"Rereading these letters reminds me of how strong my emotions are and how desperate they are."

This seemingly very dramatic and dramatic approach is actually a normal way of expressing emotions during adolescence.

In addition to the depiction of love, the film also presents the sisters' affection in a natural and sincere way.

Lara Jean refused Yu Yuan's request for a video chat with Margot who was studying in Scotland because he couldn't handle his feelings for Josh. This made Margot think that his sister was estranged from herself and never loved herself anymore.

When all the misunderstandings were resolved, the three sisters hugged each other tightly. No matter what happens, family members will always be family members.

I was used to watching the full screen of Gongdou and found that this American campus sweetie was simply a treasure.

We always miss the best time to confess because we are afraid of losing and worrying that the other party will not be able to give the same response.

But what happens even if it is rejected? At least you already know the exact answer, and you can turn this page generously to find new love.

Be brave to say love, instead of hiding in your own small room and writing love letters that you can never send.
