See you in a year

The magic of this movie is that my viewing process can completely fit Tom's mental journey.

For the first week, I watched it repeatedly, because I was obsessed with Joseph's appearance and was stuck in Tom's previous perspective: When a manic pixie dream girl meets a frustrated man, isn't it meant to be? Perhaps he was also poisoned by literature and art. Looking at it again a month later, I began to see the true story of the story, and realized that from Summer's point of view, Tom was never the male lead. Looking at it a year later, maybe Summer also put Tom on the waiting list of the male lead, but Tom was still immature at that time, and he was still living in the imagination of music movies as he was a child. It was the lovelorn that made Tom grow up quickly. Some people say that "Women experience men is to experience vicissitudes", in fact, men experience women the same. Either leave or be left. No one is responsible for anyone, some are just coincidence and timing.

Autumn is superfluous. With Autumn, it becomes the 'those cards, movies and pop music' that Tom accuses. Whether there is autumn, Summer has to turn over the page; whether there is autumn, people have to grow up.

    This film is just like the lines in the film say, it is all harmed by cards, movies, and music. We believe in these symbols, not in love or life itself. Language is a kind of witchcraft, it can confuse our thinking, movies and love stories are also, this is one of the reasons why I don't like this film. In addition, the play is too fancy, it's really boring.

    Nothing is mean to be, it's true!

  • Tom: What happened? Why? Why didn't they work out?

    Summer: What always happens. Life.

  • Tom: People buy cards 'cause they can't say how they feel, or they're afraid to. We provide the service that lets them off the hook.
