The movie was broadcast on Oriental Film Channel last Sunday. At first, I didn’t know what the title was, but when he saw Henry colluding with seals to play tricks on his colleagues, his inspiration flashed "I have seen this section", and then Henry met up for the first time. Lucy's scene, immediately remembered. Even I didn't expect to be so impressed with this movie I watched 5 years ago. After all, it was just a romantic comedy. At that time, the hero and heroine were just strange faces to me. No matter what themes and types of films, they can be remembered and remembered, at least they have more vitality than films that have been seen and forgotten. Even if the vitality is tenacious, it may be the phoenix of Nirvana or the wild grass in the countryside, or it may be seen by people. Annoying Xiaoqiang.
Fortunately, this film has nothing to do with Xiaoqiang and his relatives. Unlike many inferior American light comedies, this film not only does not tease the audience with exaggerated plots and ridicule, it is full of romantic interest and warm tolerance. Sunshine, beaches, straw skirts, beautiful women...Hawaii is worthy of being a tourist resort, an excellent place for encounters, but the director grasped the measure, and did not turn the movie into a scenic film, but passed an uncomplicated The story shows the simple folk customs and enthusiastic temperament of the local residents in front of the audience, and the precious emotions of family, friendship, and love are so beautiful and warm in this film, which is touching. Accompanied by the salty smell of the sea and marine life, relax, forget fame and fortune, and look for the long-lost original self. You may find that childlike happiness and happiness are not far away from you.
It is said that the love field is like a battlefield, but compared to the confrontation between rivals, the wit and courage between couples can be much more interesting. Some people are in the tug-of-war of laughter, swearing, and division all year round. Some people show their charm to seduce the opposite sex, but they believe in the principle of "the day of conquest is the time to withdraw", and they are chic and hedonistic. Obviously, Henry belongs to the latter. His restless nature and unfettered dreams made him show mercy and accumulated rich experience in fishing women. However, as the saying goes, a mountain is higher than a mountain. The love master finally met the biggest opponent in his life-Lucy. .
As often happens in romance novels, playboys are always defeated by two kinds of women, one is intelligent, independent, self-esteem, and disdainful of them, and the other is innocent and lovely, upright and kind, and kind to life. The innocent type full of enthusiasm and joy. Which is more lethal? It varies from person to person, at least for Henry, his immunity to Lucy is almost zero. However, the most terrible thing is that Lucy’s memory can only last for one day. Perhaps at first, Henry subconsciously regarded Lucy as a rare and special challenge, but when he pursues Lucy in a different way every day , Make Lucy fall in love with himself become a habit, Henry's love for Lucy is also increasing day by day, instead of being bored, wronged, or not worth the loss, he is always thinking about Lucy and her family, preventing Lucy from deceiving and facing up to it. Her own illness saved her father and brother from working hard every day to weave beautiful lies and worry about the truth being exposed. For Lucy, he even decided to put his dreams and plans aside, and take care of Lucy's family wholeheartedly. It's really a man who has a dream and doesn't give it up, but he hasn't fallen in love.
Unsurprisingly, the movie gave us a happy ending. It didn't make this poor couple stand apart or continue to suffer in hesitation and expectation. Here is my favorite set of shots: After watching the video, Lucy opened the curtains in a nervous mood, looked out the window, showing a surprised expression... At this time the camera slowly zoomed out... It turned out that she Sleeping in the cabin, it turned out that the ship was sailing in the ice and snow... The camera was pulled back again... It turned out that not only Lucy's father also went to sea with them, Lucy and Henry's daughters are both so old! Lucy at that time was obviously stunned by this unimaginable accident. The happiness that inspired her motherhood at the moment of holding her daughter was actually mixed.
People always lament that the beauty does not last, but if life is only like first seeing, sweet as first kiss, it may not be such a wonderful thing. After the car accident, Lucy's life is a drama. In order to protect her from harm, the people around her play the role before the car accident every day, and sometimes they have to write, direct and act. Henry's appearance relieved others, but could not cure Lucy's disease. The only difference is that the carefree and happy life that was repeated almost every day before is now the first of all the ups and downs of emotions. Every morning, from the moment Lucy opens her eyes, she is destined to not spend the day in peace and purity. Starting from shock, sadness, joy, excitement, anxiety, doubts, guilt... all kinds of chaos Her emotions are staged in turns, whizzing past like a roller coaster, challenging her psychological endurance limit, wonderful but exciting.
Since then, Lucy still lives in the drama, but sometimes it will inevitably turn into a farce. Imagine that during the last few months of her pregnancy, Lucy would yell every day, maybe her daughter was born under these circumstances. However, the most terrifying thing is the imprint left on people by time: a few years later, Lucy has to go through the horrific events of "sudden" aging every day. It is conceivable that the degree of horror is not comparable to pregnancy. Blurred vision, degraded hearing, old voice, dry and wrinkled skin all over the body, breathing no longer smooth, no longer moving freely, getting out of bed becomes difficult, and even so bad that she is paralyzed and unable to take care of herself. Faced with such a self, Lucy may not have time to watch the video in the future. I'm already frightened and eager to attack my heart, maybe I can recite it in one breath, and I might ascend to heaven to report to God in advance. Well, the movie is a movie after all, so why bother to worry about their future without having to make a sequel.
