It's all about you

I have an intuition that this will be the most girly movie review I have ever written. Please prepare your stomach medicine,

everyone, and a cup of coffee. Go to the theater to watch this movie.

During non-weekends, there are not many people. When the lights are dimmed, about 1/3 of the seats in the entire hall are waiting for their owners. Although I still feel that I am standing on the tail of youth, I have to admit that, estimating my age ranking in the audience, a little awkwardness that is out of place quietly clings to the hot coffee cup on my left hand and the cup of my knee. On the blanket, isolating me from the smell of coke and popcorn around me.

The movie is about a first love story. Lin Zhenzhen, Ouyang Feifan, Xu Taiyu, eh, I have to admit that these names exude a strong flavor of non-mainstream campus romance novels. But the clumsiness, stupidity and true nature of the true classmates remind us all the time of the same thing called a girl's heart, and this kind of girl's heart, even a girl who can break a big stone in her chest would not dare to pat her chest and say: This thing , I never have.

There is really nothing special about the story. It does not twist or suspense, it does not subvert the three views, and it does not shine with intellectual brilliance. You can get a general overview. The plot isn't that great either, and I even questioned myself a few times in the middle of watching this at my age. (Spoiler: But fortunately, the director did not focus more on Xu Taiyu’s illness and avoided the film’s inclination to the Korean drama-style situational promiscuous narrative; nor did he tell us that the two people’s emotional twists and turns after leaving the school days made the story. Bring the logical weight of the adult world.) Like most people's youth, in this movie story, if I want to say, there is not even a vicious villain, although some TV series and comics are inevitably added. The young girl secretly looked forward to the fantasy of a dog-blood idol drama in love. Overall, it was a little silly, but simple and light.

But this is not a tiresome story, the condensed memories of years and youth are enough to cause the inner projection of almost every one of us, and who among us will be tired of youth?

The director arranged for the two people of first love to meet at the end of the film, fulfilling their promise when they were young, and comforting each "girl audience" with a warm dream, making the overall color of the story as warm as the poster color. It looks like a dream, with a deliberately dramatic element. But I have also seen that the grown-up Lin Zhenzhen is still so cowardly and brave, still with the stupidity of a fan girl, and most importantly, with sincerity in love. So we don't ask, when they meet again, who they have loved, what kind of life they have experienced, what they know, and whether Lin Zhenzhen and Xu Taiyu have happily ever after. This movie uses this sweet dream to tell every adult that a sincere and fearless "girly heart" will lead you to a beautiful love, no matter how old you are.

What kind of existence is first love: For me, first love carries all the fantasies of "I" about love in my alone time before meeting her/him. Before we have more desires, before we acquire the "art" of love, before we grow an unshakable shell of reason and maturity, the intense love and pursuit of another person regardless of cost.

Not everyone can come together with their first love, depending on fate and good fortune. We love, have and lose a lot of people who are scattered throughout our lives and share a time with us, and we usually call this growth. So we say that there is loss in the price of growth, and there is also loss in the price of owning. Losing the emotional connection with us is usually pain.

After growing up and paying the price, adults look forward to maturity, which is the ability to live well, even if only by ourselves, with the increasing responsibilities society has placed on us. Then, learning to lose has become a compulsory course that we cannot escape. But the good news is that we can only truly have when we face the loss of maturity. In love, I always want to keep the courage to love someone sincerely, regardless of gains and losses, fearless, and complete a complete love. I am not qualified to say that this is the answer to perfect and eternal love, and I also admit that it is precisely because this answer is not available in the year of eternity that it is possible to attract people to ask. But I only know that even if everything is in vain, I don't want that I have never loved (and speaking of this, my image of a man is broken...).

At the end of the movie, I wiped a handful of "unaged" tears and threw the coffee cup into the bin with the red Coke cups and yellow popcorn bucket in the dim light. Walking out of the theater, the air suddenly warmed, saying goodbye to the two hours on the flashing screen in the dark space and connecting to another time and space. On the way home, I was thinking about going back to write a movie review that I promised a certain "girl", thinking of you.

The cruelest and happiest thing is that, after experiencing the sadness and pain of remembering and not being remembered, our youthful memories will eventually be settled by time. In the days when "physical girls" are far away from us, welcome "psychological girls". "Quietly stationed, in the universe of our hearts, emitting a perpetual bright light.

When watching a movie, three girls in uniform were sitting on my left, the sound of the collision of mobile phone pendants, the sobbing sound left by the male lead when he was handsome and said provocative lines, and the simple laugh when facing the plot that did not belong to the adult world. The sound is full of youthful and girly taste.

HI, little girls, my sister is here to tell you:

. . .

I'm not married yet, how can you have a husband!

    The whole film is exaggerated and dramatic. Then I always play Secondary Two, and occasionally Qiong Yao. All in all, it's a movie that's clearly played for you. However, the viewing process is quite enjoyable, you will be amused, and you will be moved to cry. Compared with the rotten youth films in the Mainland, Taiwanese youth films have a very delicate place after all, the form is exaggerated, but the feelings are real. Makes you comfortable and not annoying.
