The two girls, Hua, I really admire her courage, and it’s really not something ordinary girls can do to fight so hard for the person they like. Her honesty and perseverance is definitely worth learning (laughs). ), likes her home, her room, the white apple computer, the colorful cloth curtains gently blown by the wind, the colorful potted plants at the door, and likes flowers—her heart advocates beauty and pursues beauty. She was just too eager to protect herself, to protect her hard-won senior lover, and racked her brains for her own happiness.
As for Alice, because I liked Aoi Yu very much before, I kept reminding myself not to affect my likes and dislikes of Alice's character for subjective reasons. As a result, after watching the film, I really liked Alice this Girls love it so much! Regardless of her appearance or personality, I like her straight black hair that has never been dyed, the two delicate moles that adorn the corners of her eyes, and the way she laughs out loud when she pretends to be silly. I really want to buy a book for the last ballet. You can take it out and enjoy it whenever you walk on the street. Aside from my love for Aoi Yu, I will talk about the role of Alice, who is kind, clean, pure and frank and natural----this is the ultimate standard for me to measure girls, and I am also working hard towards this standard. Alice is like this. The girl, kind and clean, needless to say, a little bit of temptation for Miyamoto Masashi led to the Heart A incident when the three were dating - this is precisely Alice's frank performance. It was really reluctant to watch her participate in the interview at first. After many failures, she still did not give up her dream of becoming a model. In the final interview, she was about to lose the selection. She did not leave like every time, but suddenly came Courage asks to "jump a little" (that's growing up!) It's so beautiful to see her last ballet, that's how she expresses herself without words.
There are a few more details that I would like to mention.
After Liancang and his father met, in the JR car, there was a long shot of less than half a minute (is it a long shot?), the train passed by, and a group of students in sailor uniforms on the opposite platform, Alice was alone , brows slightly wrinkled, but there is such a touch of melancholy in his eyes. It was her habit to press down the corners of her mouth to hide her helplessness and loneliness.
But she is naturally optimistic. She eats box lunches without any scruples on the street where people come and go. As a child in a single-parent family, a child-like mother takes care of all the housework, yet greets everyone with a smile and kindness every day. , gave up her first love, what a precious and beautiful relationship, she gave up because flowers were her friends.
ending. Still good, I love happy endings - not really happy endings, but the best ending. I hope Miyamoto can understand Alice—or maybe he will never understand. Yesterday, I was talking with friends about the friendship between men and women and women. The result of the discussion is that men do not fully understand the friendship between women. Similarly, Girls will not fully understand the friendship between boys. This kind of friendship sometimes goes beyond love and family, and can sacrifice everything to win. Although I have heard too many true facts and false stories of betrayal of friendship for love, but I still believe that there must be people like Alice. The key is to measure which side is more worth fighting for and which side you must give up.
Regarding Masashi Miyamoto, the male protagonist who has been deceived all the time, finally became a wise man, and finally Hua burst into tears and confessed to him. His words really made me suddenly feel that Miyamoto-senpai is very tall, and it seems that he understands For Alice's decision, long live the understanding!
Some people have said that "Flower and Alice" is a step backward compared to "Swallowtail" and "All About Lily Zhou". I hold an objection. Some people just prefer dark and sharp themes, which varies from person to person. I also like "Yan" and "Li" very much, they are profound and not empty, especially "Li", one of the rare movies that shocks me 30 times will not bother me, but I really like this "Flower" I like it very much, I think it's warm, even though some people say it's "cruel", but I still feel warm, no reason, feeling, the most direct and the least need for explanation.
I would also like to mention the music of this film, directed by Shunji Iwai himself. I didn’t pay much attention at the beginning, but after watching it many times, I think the background music is really beautiful, especially the ensemble of piano and viola in the final ballet. .
Thank you Shunji Iwai, for being able to feel such beauty, thank you!
Finally, pay tribute to the late director of photography Shinoda!
