I love you quietly in my own way

Youth is a silent obsession, a reader commented on Dean's Farewell to Heaven. Maybe there is no need to divide the occasion, where youth, who's youth, are all obsessions. Just some noise and some silence.

For such a film that reproduces the youth of the whole people, it is really difficult to find a unique perspective. Maybe that's what this movie is all about, even if it doesn't use tricks or tricks, it can cause a shudder in our hearts. It seems that ten have been resurrected once.

It's hard to imagine that a 32-year-old quasi-middle-aged person can still remember the details of the past so clearly. Her clear eyes, full forehead, good-looking profile, high ponytail, and serious expression. She is like a crystal in her memory, always at the right distance from herself, and then she seems to be covered with a beautiful soft mirror, so beautiful in the soft aperture that there is no sense of reality. Yes, you are my warm gloves, cold beer, sun-scented shirt, day after day dream. Because you have become my dream day after day, I would rather give up my uninhibited desire to be a good student who follows the rules and get closer and closer to you in the boring book knowledge. Feel that you have conquered the world in your satisfied smile. This is the unique way I love you.

After Ke Jingteng and Shen Jiayi's bet on who will be the first in the exam, there is a montage of clips. With Huang Shujun's classic "Love Syndrome". This is all the meaning of youthful love. It probably doesn't matter if tomorrow is the end of the world or a volcanic eruption. There is nothing in my eyes except you. This is probably the reason why many people miss adolescent love. Will you still love someone so pure after that?

Unfortunately, as Ke Jingteng's narration said, the pain of adolescence is that girls are always more mature than boys of the same age. So in that heavy rain, Ke Jingteng and Shen Jiayi still got separated. Later, when I flashed back to this part at the wedding, I burst into tears. Shen Jiayi sat on the stool, the rain mixed with tears, Ke Jingteng squatted in front of her and wiped the tears from her face. If at that time whoever gave up a step first, it would probably be a hug to let them settle their quarrels. Unfortunately not.

In fact, this is not the most painful part of crying. But after the earthquake, Ke Jingteng held up his mobile phone to search for signals and dialed Shen Jiayi. This reminds me of an article I read during the SARS period in 2003: Lovers who have been separated for many years, after learning about the disaster, the first reaction is to find the contact information of the other party to see if the other party is okay. It seems that some disasters become the background or props of some love stories. Not in such a scene, some love may be difficult to test out. So the scene of Ke Jingteng running around the school with his mobile phone in hand proves that Shen Jiayi's weight in his heart has never diminished over the years. Shen Jiayi said to the sky: Thank you for loving me so much. Ke Jingteng said: I also like the me who likes you very much. It seems that some things are not necessarily in vain.

The final wedding was a vulgar drama about you getting married, the groom is not me. I just didn't expect that in order to kiss the beloved girl, the boy who was supposed to be the male protagonist fiercely rushed to the groom, and then kissed the girl's mouth in that wonderful backlight. If it wasn't for being young, how could today's moment be so short? Fortunately, the girl you once loved has finally been loved by someone, although these loves are not given by you.

It seems that love in youth must end with regret. Although we couldn't help but sigh at the end, it's a pity, but we still go our separate ways in those misunderstandings. And then we spend the rest of our decades obsessively asking: Why? Maybe the answer is just like what Shen Jiayi said playfully when she turned the pen: there are many things in life that are futile. If this is the case, we can only accept that, after all, adolescence cannot be prolonged indefinitely. It will eventually stop at some point.

Fifteen years ago, Nine Swords fell in love with Shen Jiayi by studying hard; 15 years later, Nine Swords loved Shen Jiayi by making a movie; after that, Shen Jiayi will probably follow his memories until a certain end. Maybe this is the real silent obsession. And there are so many ways to love someone.

    “I’ve been liked by you, it’s hard to think that others like me that much.” The long-lost Taiwanese youth romance film is not inferior to "The Little Thing of First Love", comparable to "Little Lover," and slightly inferior to "The Blue Gate." When the wedding music "Meet You in a Crowd of People" came out, it shook my tears. Youth is our only spirit and flesh in these years, and perhaps regret is more beautiful. In the end, that passionate kiss lit up the whole movie. "Happy wedding, my youth"

    You are the apple in my eyes. Female: (It turns out that I’m an iPhone 4S...for Shen JiaYi) High expectations + spoiled, it’s still good...Although there are many knives in the name, the nine knives did not make the movie fall into the "how many knives of your youth" , Pounce on love, very good.
