Balancing need and being needed

Cyril 2022-09-22 14:17:09

In the current social environment, the definition of a person is the sum of social relations.

The male protagonist has a gloomy and introverted personality, does not like to communicate with others, and thinks that most social interactions can be avoided. Books are his way of communicating with the world, or with himself. In the eyes of the whole class, this is undoubtedly a "misfit" . And the heroine is lively and active, loves to socialize, and is like a celebrity in the whole school. It seems that she lives for the sake of others. The two characters are unlikely to come together in everyday terms.

But the incurable disease of the heroine in the film connects them in an almost comical way. This connection is not just a simple attraction between opposite sexes, but more of a female protagonist's metaphysical yearning for a male protagonist. She is curious about the male protagonist's heart; looking forward to her own entertainment; weighing and testing needs and being needed. The male protagonist is definitely not the so-called impotence communication (I really can't understand how sleazy the impotence communication in the comments is an adjective that can only be conceived), long-term loneliness is definitely not something that can be resolved by temporary companionship, beware and compromise in the male protagonist It is the most direct consequence of all this.

The portrayal of daily scenes in the film is not outstanding, but it is not universal, because the coordination of color music and scenes is still remarkable. The most profound scene depicted in the film should be the fireworks scene, although this did not appear in the original work; I personally think that this change is within a reasonable range. The fireworks themselves are gorgeous, which also confirms that the emotion at this moment has reached a climax- --For the first time, the male protagonist deeply realized the need and being needed.

Some people also questioned the female lead's feelings for the male lead, but as said in the film, simply using love to express the relationship between two people is too superficial. It is true that feelings in the world are not strictly classified as black and white, and feelings that are simple enough to have nothing do not exist at all. Although the female protagonist likes the male protagonist, she is still afraid. In front of her emotions, she finally reveals her fear of disease and her nostalgia for reality. She also feels urgent "need" and "need". It's to feel the heartbeat of others."

In other words, love is a hand that wants to touch but then retracts.

The little prince's monologue at the end of the film is a summary of the whole story, and a thing is precious because of your long company. The male protagonist is like the little prince in the last days of the female protagonist's life, accompanying her when she needs her, and fulfilling her wishes one by one. Although in the end the little prince lost his rose.

The death of the heroine is undoubtedly an accident, and it is also the last key for the hero to get out of himself. He knows that he is "needed" and "needed". No one lives independently and can be unspeakable, but that doesn't mean you don't need friends.

There are cherry blossoms in the mountains, and the name is good trees. Maybe all along, we have been waiting to be needed and needed, just like cherry blossoms are waiting for the arrival of spring.
