When I went to buy a CD, the girl who sold the CD recommended it to me very solemnly, saying that this movie touched her very much, and it contained everything about our youth. I like her statement.
"NANA" is a standard youth film, its own story is an adaptation of a best-selling comic, combining pure friendship and love, using music as a fashion element for emotional catharsis, telling the stories of two girls about their dreams and love, All kinds of sentimentality in youth are presented one by one.

Another name of the movie is "The Other Me in the World", which reminds me of "Veronica's Double Life" and "Love Letter". My favorite, the rear has also become the first choice for many people. I like to see Miho Nakajima calling out "How are you" over and over in the snow, just like in the two movies, maybe in our hearts, each of us believes , in a certain corner of the world, there is a person who is exactly like himself, but he is always in the contradiction of going left and going right, and there is no way to meet.
When I was a child, or now, sometimes I was still afraid of looking in the mirror. I always wondered if the familiar self in the mirror was me. Later, I realized that under certain circumstances, I was not looking in the mirror, but watching. , the person in the mirror may be the stranger you are most familiar with, or your other self in the world.
In philosophy, Freud divided personality into three parts: id, ego and superego. The id is the basic instinct of human beings, the impulsive desire to pursue happiness and satisfaction, the ego is the carrier of the inner world and the external environment of the human being, the superego has become a sublimation of personality development, and under ideal and moral principles, we have become social person.
Outside of these three parts, the self in the mirror image is another self, "he and me". To a certain extent, he and I are the self in the eyes of others. As a result of self-expression, on the one hand, the self will affect him and me, and on the other hand, he and I will also affect the self.

Mirror Image - His My Story
If one day, the self in the mirror appears in the entity of life, what will it look like? In this sense, for another question and curiosity of mine, "NANA" is about a "mirror". self" story.
Two girls of the same age, with the same name, each with their own memories and trajectories, got on the train bound for Tokyo on the same day, and their fates have been so entangled since then. There are many similarities between them, but there are many differences, and they see in each other what they want to have but don't have.
This Nana is as cute as a puppy and full of fantasies, although she will be bumped on the waist by youth from time to time, "it looks good and obedient, but it will only cause trouble to people", always dreaming of a romantic dream of a princess and a prince, even When doing housework, the white aprons wear cute and beautiful big bows, and they like to use strawberry-patterned water glasses. Even if they wear a professional white-collar outfit, they are still as cute as a little girl. This Nana is simple and full of enthusiasm. I thought life would be as beautiful as a fairy tale.
That Nana, living proud and free like a wild cat, despite the deep wounds on her body, "looks like she doesn't care about anything, but in her heart longs for support", she is accustomed to hiding her melancholy in her black clothes, she can He nailed a practical dining table with the scrap wood he picked up. At the age of fifteen, he had never tasted any love before love came. He didn't cry easily, but he didn't suppress himself when it was time to cry. That Nana, with a cosmic dream nurtured in a thin body, used her voice to ignite the enthusiasm of everyone.
Both of them saw a familiar self from each other: Nana? Nana? Which one is the real self? These are the evaluations they expect. The mirrored selves are more fascinating because they are untouchable, so they attract each other and become friends.

Love - the id impulse
From the id's point of view, love is an instinctive impulse of human beings.
Nana came to Tokyo because of love. She thought that this relationship with Zhang Si would continue like this, but unfortunately love is a one-way line, so Nana lost the beautiful love she believed in, no need to question, no blame, no more say. It's just a seemingly understated "I don't want it", and the inevitable silence and sadness after crying - a cold lovelorn, pain, love, when the feeling of love is shattered in an instant, it's not Efforts to keep something, or to seek a so-called answer, if not let go, "I don't want it", the seemingly weak Nana showed rare courage and decisiveness when facing the choice of love.
She began to get used to life without him, she began to try to change herself, she would still look forward to the next love, but for the old love, she completely deleted his phone number, not to be clean.
Nana came to Tokyo because she didn't love each other, she wanted to forget the lotus, although she still carved the lotus on her right arm, they were not separated because they didn't love each other, but because they loved each other too much, the two were separated from each other. People who love each other choose to separate in order to live more freely and for their own dreams.
When Lian was leaving, the two hugged and kissed in the aisle of the carriage, the car bell rang, and Nana jumped off the train without turning her head, but the moment she jumped off, she fell down Tears fell silently in the snow. She thought that the lock would lock her lotus until she died. She thought they would be able to perform together on a bigger stage, but everything seemed like a flash in the sky. , but she is confused, between love and self, she chooses the latter.
She came to Tokyo and started a new dream, hoping that the bass player of her band could surpass Lian, and she would still burst into tears at Lian's band's concert, and finally she could not open the lock on Lian, because, This lock, the lock of love, has been deeply locked in their hearts.
In this sense, Nana, Nana, whoever they are, are not humblely obedient to the urge to love instinct, they are all victors.

Growth - self-transformation
We always present different selves to different people, forming a changing selves in the eyes of others. The same is true for Nana and Nana. Maybe only in front of Lian will Nana be as docile and cute as a kitten back home, but more often she just coldly refuses people thousands of miles away; maybe when she sees Zhang Si, Nana will be like a puppy The same coquettish willfulness, although she is often reprimanded for nothing at work.
The self in the mirror image is ever-changing like a kaleidoscope. It is not a simple representation of the self, but has its own personality. In the process of communicating with each other, the two NANAs accept and trust each other.
I have often heard this word recently, boudoir, for girls, what they share with each other is not what clothes they wear today or what jewelry they buy tomorrow, but they can really take another person as the most important part of their life, And to communicate with each other about the most self-confidence, this kind of trust is voluntary, and it gives the other party sufficient space, rather than satisfying the curiosity and exploration of privacy.
Nana and Nana began to share everything in their lives, a feeling of trust and acceptance, like the hands they held together at a concert, no words needed.
Nana saw the innocence and perseverance she never had in Nana. She learned to insist on her love for Lian, to face her own feelings bravely, and no longer escape; and Nana also learned to be independent from Nana. He Qiang, although sad about Zhang Si's betrayal, has no regrets; she has also learned to keep the grievances of work outside the door when she goes home. Nana became more attentive, Nana became more stable, and the self of the two began to become more and more three-dimensional.
It's still as sharp as it is, but we like ourselves more than before, and this is our experience of growing up: in the mirror image of each other, we learn to examine ourselves, make up for the incomplete self, and finally the two become one.

Dream - the origin of the superego
The old house in the former hometown, Lian keeps saying that this is his origin, he can't forget those lonely days in the past, for Lian and Nana, it is the origin of their dreams and the origin of their love , start here, and maybe many years from now, they'll come back and end here.
For Nana, the trip to Tokyo has become the end of her love, but no one can guarantee that this will not be the starting point of the next relationship, which is also the origin.
For each of us, what is the origin of our life, and what is the thing we should cherish for a lifetime.
Everything returns to zero, the origin, back to the original self, which is the superego.
