The whole is a very warm little story, the bridges are designed to be simple and pleasant, and the general plot direction can be guessed.

The identity of the heroine is very interesting in the film. Compared with face, she is placed in a more closed and suffocated American environment (the town is almost all traditional white Christians, and the recent Chinese Super League requires three bike rides.) hours) she's half cultural pagan, and her dad is a complete outsider to the environment. To discuss issues from the perspective of this type of character identity is the most consistent with the previous face.

At the beginning, I thought it was a story of two literary and artistic youths fighting each other and then coming together logically. In the middle, I thought the male protagonist was really too cute (looks a bit Denirawang, and it is a pity that the female protagonist is not a bi hahaha Ha ha

Wu Siwei drew Plato not to tell us a Platonic love story, but to criticize this kind of love. Because she knows that the essence of spiritual love is not love, but unrequited love and narcissism. In fact, the author brings us her autobiography: a man who once acted as a stand-in for the other eventually becomes irreplaceable by "daring to love". This is why Kazuo Kuroishi, who wrote "Don't Let Me Go" and "Scars of the Day", is mentioned many times.

In the end, the Chinese girl kissed the Western goddess, and the American boy also learned Eastern cooking. Judging from the interaction between Chinese and Western cultures, this is a true spiritual love.
