It's like a flexible pen

"I'm good at cleaning, the vacuum cleaner can't be turned on very strongly, so the dust can't be sucked in easily. I'm also good at washing clothes. I have to shake the clothes and hang them to dry. I'm also good at washing my hair, and I must never use my fingernails when washing my hair..." Excerpted from the movie lines. When the classmates were passionately talking about their talents and ideals on the stage, the little boy narrated such a true monologue. "Now to See You" balances love and family well, enriching the emotional color of the whole film. After watching it, I will put a lot of beautiful words on the film without any temper, pure love, humor, warmth, sadness, romance, because this film is really beautiful.

There is no harm if there is no comparison. It is halfway through May, and I only watched two movies in this half month, "Later Us" and "Now to See You". Both are films that I really want to see. After watching "Later Us", I was very disappointed. The only place in this movie is the background and the heroine, and even I think it would feel better if the hero was replaced by Huang Xuan. The screenwriter group finally made the story line of "Later Us" have the ultimate sense of fragmentation, and it is necessary to have a beaded plot to understand the entire story line. The chaotic rhythm also makes the whole movie feel uncomfortable, and the blunt texture is completely irrational, which directly leads to a waste of good background settings. Romance films need a clear story line and good actors the most. If the editing is clever, it will be a 100% bonus. "Now to See You" does a great job on these points.

It may be based on the blueprint of Takuji Ichikawa's original novel. The whole story of "Now to See You" is very fairy tale and too dramatic, but it is also a group of screenwriters, but they can connect every little thing very well, and mixed with the past. Chasing love, now aftertaste. It is not easy for Li Zhangxuan, who was the director for the first time, to master the camera in such a good position. It is very beautiful, and the whole plot is warm and not boring. The tacit understanding between the screenwriter and the editor makes all the plots of the whole film ingeniously connected. The development of the plot is simple and clear, and the narrative method is much more flexible than "Later Us".

The whole plot is a combination of love, family and friendship, and touching details abound. The calm narrative makes people feel warm and pure one after another. In terms of actors, although I basically don't watch Korean dramas, "Only You" played by So Ji Sub and Han Hyo Joo is also very impressive. Son Ye-jin has already given the movie a lot of points just because of this ageless and mythical face. The male lead played by So Ji-sub is the bridge between the heroine and her son in this film. He is also an emotional passer. The three emotional lines are basically divergent and handed over in him, and the sincere and friendly performance is vividly and vividly. I really feel that the actors' performances are well done and charming.

The background of the movie is very poetic. The beautiful scenery of the rainy season is matched with romantic love, warm family affection and sincere friendship. The main color is gray-green in the rainy season. Watching a movie through binoculars on the top of the mountain at twilight, on the road in the field, a child in a little yellow hat hugs his father in a gray shirt, and sits quietly in the back seat of a bicycle, a woman in a little white dress and a pink cardigan holds an umbrella and looks sadly at the a ray of sunshine. The frame-by-frame scenes are beautiful. And the fragments of light and shadow are too warm and sad, and it cannot be ruled out that they have inherited the sensational techniques of Korean movies to a large extent.

Another surprise in the movie is that the deaf little girl Jin Hyun-soo in "The Furnace" has outstanding acting skills and an immeasurable future. This is also one of the reasons why I like Korean movies. There is no shortage of good directors, and there is no shortage of the birth of good actors. Korean film production is of high standard, the subject matter is vivid, and the plot of the film is very textured. It is such a small country, even smaller than the "Little Seahorse" in Linhai, but it can always find good themes, dare to think, dare to shoot and incite good feelings.

"Now to See You" is worth watching. Whether you are holding the computer by yourself or dragging your family around to cast the screen, it is a good choice. As a romance film, it can be clicked on and all the points you can think of. Click to the heart. For a rough man to have such a high evaluation of a romantic film, I think I am still delicate in my bones. Boundaries aside, thanks for Korean movies.

    It's actually similar to most love stories, but I don't know why this one is so sweet. Between the kingdom of heaven and the world of human beings, there are people who have passed away from the kingdom of cloud, and there will be quietly watching their relatives in the world come back to visit secretly by train in the rainy season. I remembered a poem: "But I hope that the wind and rain will come, you can stay here." In fact, it is not difficult to love only one person in your life, but the premise is that you have good luck. Regarding the "wish", it really came true, but the first thing I felt was fear. Afraid that none of this is true. As if someone accidentally pressed the wrong rewind button, turned the film of the person's life, and showed the past parts one by one. Their first date. Standing at the bus stop waiting for the bus, no one wants to get on the bus first. After she got on the last train, he rushed to catch up with her. The way he ran after the bus reminded me of Jo In Sung in "That Winter, The Wind Blows". Probably a little hunched over because of his tall stature. He stands in the flock of chickens like an inferior crane all day long. My heart melts every time I think about this.
