Yuezhen likes to close her eyes and dream about eight or ten years from now. In the dream, on a sunny afternoon, there is her lovely son, her beloved husband, and a group of ladies. She likes Zhang Shihao, but is ashamed to express it. When she turned around and wanted to seriously face the boy she had liked for a long time but could only bring home the "trash" he had thrown away, Zhang Shihao fell in love with Meng Kerou, her best friend. As for Meng Kerou, the trouble she has been conflicting about is that she likes girls, not boys.
Seeing this kind of drama keep going. Watching them repeat those simple lines all the time. Watching their youthful expressions keep changing on their faces. Watching them run around this summer on their bikes and pushing their bikes. Watching them shove and say "what the hell do you mean". Watching them each make a subtle effort for their 17-year-old love. Watching them say what little adults say - if you're 17, just thinking about going to college, or not a virgin, and peeing in a straight line, what a happy kid you would be. Looking at him being a little shy and a little brave, he said the truth: If one day, one year, three years, or five years later, if you start to like boys, you must be the first to tell me.
A little moved. For the misty love at the age of 17.
Kerou's name fits the character's needs very well. What kind of children are children of single-parent families? Some critics said that in the film, it is not mentioned too much. But I can say with certainty that when a girl has the courage to do what others can't, it shows that children in single-parent families are more capable of taking responsibility. She will not compromise. Nor will it be weak. strong. Perseverance. Maybe confused. Because there are no more loved ones to share inner secrets. Maybe boyish. But perhaps, it is more suitable to call it rigid outside and soft inside.
And Zhang Shihao's likes are progressive. He thought, "Actually, there is no Lin Yuezhen at all, you want to know me." He began to repeat his famous line "My name is Zhang Shihao, Scorpio O, swimming team, guitar club". He went to the dumpling shop every day, and every day after eating, he said to Kerou in the residential building behind the shop, "I'm full and go." When Kerou told him to stop following her after school, not to come to the dumpling shop, and not to like her, he asked, then why do you want me to kiss you, then why do you hold my hand. When Lin Yuezhen appeared in front of him, I noticed the expression on Zhang Shihao's face. At first, the joy of seeing Kerou turned into a friendly greeting, and then a bit of sullen incomprehension. Yuezhen trotted back downstairs with his bicycle. When he turned around and said "I'm sorry" to Yuezhen, his face was full of determination.
"Meng Kerou, Meng Kerou, Meng Kerou, Meng Kerou".
every sound. are not the same. After reading it several times, I noticed this little detail. I love this arrangement. Because of the ups and downs of the voice, it brings about changes in the characters' emotions. And the fashionable and young he actually did it. So, in the back shot, it's Kerouishihao's push and shove. Chair, down a few. However, the school guard did not notice the sound on this side of the campus, why? This, I have been strange to the end.
Anyway, it's a really good movie. A picture scroll of youth that may be very innocent. Although the lines are simple, and "what a happy kid you would be if you were 17" strikes me as inappropriate. However, there are still favorite lines. And my favorite is the last paragraph that Kerou said:
little gentleman, watching your floral shirt float away... After many years, what kind of adults will we become? Is it the gym teacher, or is it my mother? Although I can't see myself when I close my eyes, I can see you.
Later, I found that there was an introduction to this film on the Wiki, and I only liked the following paragraph:
Although it describes the sexual enlightenment of teenagers, there is no sexual scene; although the protagonist is from a single-parent family, there is no more description. There is no theme of "confrontation with the adult world" described in ordinary enlightenment movies, and even the main source of stress for Taiwanese teenagers "joint entrance examination" is not mentioned at all in the film. Therefore, although the protagonist of "Blue Door" is a teenager, it is more similar to a children's movie in essence, and it is innocent. Although it is not exactly equal to the situation of Taiwanese teenagers in reality, it confirms what Director Yi Zhiyan said in the interview: "The Blue Door" is a "memorial" and a "gift to someone".
