The story begins with the first love of a simple, rebellious, and a little cowardly high school boy, Oliver Tate. Like most people, he passes notes in class, feels great about himself, and occasionally wanders in class or thinks about On the topic of death, I imagined how heartbroken and grief people would feel when I suddenly died one day. And the girl who always wore the red coat, and the strange name Jordana, fascinated him. Jordana is not beautiful, but she is attractive, independent in her behavior and cunning in her eyes...
From Oiliver, I seem to have found the shadow of my past, and those memories that I feel have been forgotten seem to reappear in me In front of my eyes, even if I didn't have the cold but beautiful beaches of Wales, there were no dense woods next to the school, and there were no hills to climb... But I can strongly feel the thoughts and thoughts of young Oiliver in my heart. resonance. The once simple feelings, the warmth and happiness brought by arm-in-arms and hugs, and the sadness when breaking up. These things that seem innocent and childish when they grow up, when you think about it carefully, it is really a beautiful memory.
The point of conflict in the story is which Oilver should do first between saving his parents' relationship and his girlfriend Jordana, because his parents are facing marriage at the same time he learns that his girlfriend's mother is dying of brain cancer. crisis. The mother's first love moved to their next door, the man who was full of words but not in the stream, reminded Tate's mother of the passion she once had. Looking at the lifeless marine biologist husband beside her, it seemed that everything was like this. joy of life.
Faced with a choice, Oiliver resolutely chose to help his parents through the difficulties, because he understood that his parents' divorce would bring sadness to the whole family. Of course, most of his motives are also simple because he doesn't like that "Ninja". Therefore, he often hid in the dark and eavesdropped on his mother's phone calls, secretly followed the man's speech, and even sneaked into his house to do damage. In the end, he succeeded, and even though he was not the one who controlled the situation, he was determined to get that satisfaction.
The whole film seems literary and full of retro flavor, but what it expresses is extremely realistic. It's just that the director used an elegant and relatively beautiful lens to make the whole story less depressing and sad. It is undeniable that the whole film always exudes a unique British artistic atmosphere on the screen, whether it is the way of panning the camera, the romantic things that two people do when the boys fantasize about being in love, and the rainy day in the Welsh seaside town. The weather exudes that special aura. Many times, the audience can't understand which is fantasy and which is reality, but in some intermittent plot pictures, I feel the pure beauty that comes from the heart, the freehand and natural feeling is unbelievable. resist.
Submarine, a name that seems to have nothing to do with the story, is a metaphor for Oiler who is afraid or unwilling to face difficulties head-on, but likes to observe silently like a submarine, waiting for the time to come. It is even more a metaphor for what the hero of the title wants to express, that people are more willing to be an independent individual in life, rather than being tolerant and compromising for each other. When we encounter difficulties, we are often willing to choose to face it independently, perhaps because we feel that our self-confidence and slightly selfish mentality can be overcome, or perhaps because we do not want to make those who care about and love us sad. But when everything is carried by one person, don't forget that happiness can be shared, and difficulties and pain also need to be shared. For those who love and care about themselves, they can't always hide under water and look up to the sky like a submarine, but they should be honest with each other.
