Not long ago, the highly sought after Taiwan idol drama "I May Not Love You" is probably about such a kind of love. The hero and heroine in the TV series have known each other for fifteen years, and they have been living with each other day and night under the principle of "friendship lasts forever". The protagonist Li Daren often recites a sentence: I may not love you. But in fact, he loved the heroine Cheng Youqing so much that he was afraid that Cheng Youqing would reject him or leave him, so he waited for the heroine very lowly and silently. Even if he was bullied, a flower would bloom in his heart.
The movie "One Day" is, to a certain extent, the movie version of "I Might Not Love You". The heroine Emma and the hero Dexter met at the age of 22 and were together at the age of 37. During this period of fifteen years They are just good friends. But in the movie "One Day", the silently loved Li Daren is the heroine Emma, and the beloved Cheng Youqing is the hero Dexter. And Emma's love for Deckard is also another version of "I may not love you"---deep love, but not low in the dust.
Emma loved Deckard, even secretly like Deckard before the two knew each other. After the two met, she secretly wrote this love into poetry. But when Deckard told Emma that he had a crush on all women, she sensibly maintained a friendship with Deckard.
Emma turned from a working girl in a restaurant into a teacher through her own efforts, but in the eyes of Dexter, who is in full swing: those who are capable will do great things, and those who are incompetent will go to teach. Emma did not humbly cater to Deckard, nor did she cry silently, but turned her face with Deckard on the spot, she said to Deckard: "I love you, I love you, I love you very much, it's just, I I don't like you anymore." She disappeared from Deckard's world for three years.
Emma, who disappeared, did not feel sorry for herself, hiding in a corner of the world and licking her wounds silently, but continued to struggle silently and published a popular children's novel. She is no longer the ugly duckling who once hid in the Dexter light, but a confident and charismatic writer.
The beloved Deckard used to be a young man as dazzling as the sun. He was handsome and suave. He was the dream of many girls, but the sun will always set one day. Deckard not only lost his beautiful career. Existed, but also cheated by his wife.
After turning from a splendid Zhengtai to a down-to-earth uncle, the only thing that can comfort him is Emma's love.
In fact, in the past fifteen years, Emma does not need Deckard, because even without Deckard, she can still live well. But for the beloved Deckard, it is completely different. Emma has gradually become the most indispensable woman in his life, even the most indispensable woman in his life. This woman is powerful and fills his life with hope. .
This is the concept of love in "One Day": you don't have to be humble to love someone. Because only those with a strong heart can live better and turn impossible love into possible love. For idiots and women, this view of love is too chicken soup. That's exactly why "One Day" is worth watching. Another chicken soup effect of "One Day" is that Emma, played by Anne Hathaway, transformed from an ugly duckling to a white swan to tell women that what makes women beautiful is not their youthful appearance, but their confident heart.
In addition to the two protagonists Emma and Dexter, the supporting roles in "One Day" also have the function of finishing the movie. For example: Dexter's father and mother. In the eyes of Dexter's beautiful mother, the short and fat father is Alain Delon. The father does not like French food, and the mother who loves French food does not complain, but secretly goes to eat French with her son. vegetable. Mom is to Dad what Emma is to Deckard. It is
because of this that there is one of the most tearful dialogues in the entire film. At that time, Deckard had just lost Emma, and his life became a mess, and Dad had lost his mother for ten years!
"You should live like Emma is by your side," Dad said.
"I don't know if I can," Deckard said.
"Of course you can. What do you think I've been doing for the last ten years?"
Also, Ian, Emma's ex-boyfriend. He's always trying to bring joy to people because his ideal is a comedian, but he has no sense of humor at all, in his days with Emma, the only time he made Emma laugh was when he fell down the stairs down. Emma was initially with him just to divert her love for Deckard. But Ian can only make her love Deckard more. However, when this ridiculous man broke up with Emma, he gave Emma the best encouragement: You are talented. When Deckard lost Emma, he said to Deckard, I have always felt that you are not worthy of her, she makes you respectable. You just make her happy.
The movie "One Day" is adapted from the best-selling book "One Day" by British author David Nicholson. The most special place in this book is that Nicholson only writes about the day of July 15th every year, when Emma and Deckard St. What happened in my life, I wrote it for 20 years. The rest of the days are left blank for readers to fill in.
The screenwriter of the film "One Day" is David Nicholson himself. He carried over the special features of the novel to the images. The movie started from July 15, 1988 when Emma and Deckard met until July 15, 2011, and strung together 21 stories that happened on July 15. The rest is up to the audience to do it themselves. guessed. But this kind of special also means taking risks. After all, it is a great challenge to condense the story that spanned more than 20 years into a short one hundred minutes. For that day of the year, if the story of what happened is condensed too much, it will inevitably be like the running account of a diary, which makes people feel boring. In fact, the most unfortunate part of the movie "One Day" is here. Although the stories selected in "One Day" can play the role of shaping the character and promoting the development of the story, due to the limited time, the expression is not enough, which makes the audience's emotions. It's hard to go deep.
Fortunately, the length of time makes up for this shortcoming. The relationship spanning more than 20 years, even if every day of the year is a running account, after seeing it 20 years later, it will still make people feel deeply.
By the way, do you know why "One Day" was chosen on July 15th? Because July 15 is St. Swithing's Day in the UK, it is a special day. There is a saying in the UK that if it rains on July 15, it will rain for 40 consecutive days. Emma and Deckard met on the special day of St. Swithin's Day, doesn't this just foretell the extraordinaryness of their relationship?
