summer in jeans

I don't remember when I watched "Summer of Jeans" for the first time. I only know that I watched it many times after that. Every time I taste it, I can always read a different taste. At this moment, I really hope that there is an old small theater where I can enjoy this beautiful story in a loop.

The first time I saw it, I desperately hoped that Sister Tao could also own a pair of jeans, so I started all members to find a ring, a tail ring, or anything else worth saving. However, things backfired. Things, like people, need luck and fate.
The second time I watched it, I began to understand the youth, life, and life that the director wanted to interpret. Youth is shy and frivolous, it has all possibilities, an affair, a quarrel, an encounter, a rebellion, a struggle, a growth; life is unpredictable, it can enjoy magic because of a pair of jeans, and become rich because of a journey Charm, has a miracle because of four girls; life is fleeting, it is as strong as it is fragile, as long as it is short, and as public as it is lonely.
...
Nth time watching it, listen carefully to its lines, watch its footage carefully, and feel its heart with your heart. I no longer expect such a story to fall on myself, and only hope that one day I can write the "summer" that I have outlined in my heart, record the story, and pass on happiness.

At a certain moment, the same weather always reminds me of a moment in the past. Even if I know that this moment is in the past, it still makes me feel breathless. I don't know why, but I am just glad that it has passed. Just like "Summer of Jeans", "Summer" is over, no matter how messy or happy, it's over, the seasons change, and time does not stop.

I would like to have a pair of jeans full of magic, to
entrust all my passion and self-pity, to
record all my confusion and pain, and to
record the joys and sorrows I have experienced.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants quotes

  • Carmen: [voiceover] It would be easy to say that the pants changed everything that summer. But looking back now I feel like our lives changed because they had to, and that the real magic of the pants was in bearing witness to all of this and in somehow holding us together when it felt like nothing would ever be the same again.

    [pause]

    Carmen: Some things never would be

    Lena: But we know now that no matter how far we traveled on our own separate paths...

    Bridget: Somehow we would always find out way back to each other.

    Tibby: And with that, we could get through anything.

    Bridget: To us. Who we were, and who we are. And who we'll be.

    Tibby: To the pants.

    Lena: And the sisterhood.

    Carmen: And this moment, and the rest of our lives.

    CarmenLenaBridgetTibby: Together and apart.

  • Tibby: Hey, do you know who would have loved this P, Bee? Your mom.

    Bridget: Yeah. I remember this one time she decided that she'd make one herself. She always woke up starving after one of her episodes. I was just sitting in the kitchen doing my homework and she just walked in and just started making this thing. You know, I don't even know if you could call it a pizza. It was more like the entire contents of our refrigerator on a round crust.

    [They all laugh]

    Bridget: Craziest part is we actually ate it.

    Carmen: Of course you did.

    [Tibby laughs]

    Bridget: We ate every single bit of that pizza in like 10 minutes.

    Tibby: Yeah.

    Bridget: And we were laughing the whole time. It was great. I remember thinking that maybe there won't be any more bad spells. Maybe she'll just be happy like this forever.

    Carmen: It's okay to miss her, Bee. I mean, as hard as it is to be sad about it don't you think maybe it's harder not to be?

    Bridget: [Crying] You don't understand.

    Tibby: [long pause] Bridge...

    Bridget: I can't. It hurts too much.

    Carmen: I know.

    Bridget: No, you don't know. I just want to feel good and happy and alive. Because if I feel alive then it doesn't seem like she's dead. And if I'm not sad then it proves that I'm not like her.

    Carmen: Bee, you don't have to prove that to anybody. I mean, you have a strength in you that your mom never had. As much as she wanted to, she couldn't find it.

    Tibby: Yeah, and you have something else too.

    Bridget: What?

    Tibby: You have us. And we're not gonna let you go anywhere, okay?

    Bridget: Thank you.

    Carmen: Come here.
