A simple comparison of version 68 and version 96

I was wrong. After reading the 68th edition, I said that it was too literary. After reading the 96th edition, I can only say that the charm is completely gone, and I have to say that the atmosphere created by the classic literature of European film shooting. It can't be said that the 96 version was unsuccessful. Its success lies in extracting the essence of the "Romeo and Juliet" story and putting it into the typical gorgeous dreamy love story of Hollywood. The 68 version is even more poetic. The director's use of "water" can be said to be obvious. The first encounter between the two, the collision of feelings, the coming of tragedy, and the preview of death have seen an interview. The director said: "The audience knows the two before watching this film. The protagonists will meet, so the more important thing is how to let the two meet so that the audience can still 'brighten their eyes'", I have to say that the director succeeded. When I first saw the arrangement of this scene, I prefer the 96 version, because there is no one else around the two of them, and they are far from being surrounded by family members. Of course, on the contrary, the arrangement of the 68 edition also has its own ulterior motives. The two first met at the dance party surrounded by the family, which also implied the tragedy that they were bound by family factors. There is no girl who will not be fascinated by the young Leonardo, right? ? No, no, no. The 96 version of the male protagonist is matched with the 68 version of the female protagonist. There may be no movie that can break the ceiling of appearance.

But Xiao Lizi is really not suitable for playing someone who loves melancholy and deeply, but is quite suitable for playing someone who loves crazy.

    It doesn't feel like the 68 version has grasped the charm, although it is still a good version. Love the ending song - Radiohead! (paraphrasing Thom Yorke: Why oh why didn't they run away after they shagged?)
