To be honest, I'm a person who doesn't like to re-brush up on film and television dramas, but I re-watch "Waiting Alone" almost every year.
To this day, I still feel that "Waiting Alone" is the best domestic youth film in these years, but the film is classified as a romantic comedy.
Youth is always a group of people's carnival, the movie is also around a group of good friends in the modern city, Chen Wen (Xia Yu), Li Liang, Li Jing and nicknamed Grandson, all of them walk by horse in the city of youth, running their own small business, doing things with interest and intuition, pursuing and waiting for love according to feelings.
Seemingly unscrupulous but with a beautiful vision of the male protagonist Chen Wen and the third-rate actor Liu Rong (Played by Li Bingbing) you chase me to escape, ambiguous temptation, full of dramatic tension, Chen Wen wants to borrow the power of his friend Li Jing, the two discuss love strategies together, eat and drink together, in order to prove his man charm to Liu Rong, attract the attention of the other party, and finally unintentionally broke the secret of Li Jing's crush on himself.
At the end of the story, Chen Wen saw the true desire in his heart, his friends left each other, Li Jing also went to Guangzhou to develop through his recommendation, he finally overturned the previous horror novel, and proposed to make a footnote for the youth of this group of people waiting alone - "Dedicated to the person who slipped away from (you)".
The story is simple and full of laughs, and the golden sentences are frequent, which is a film that makes people relax when they watch it, and it is emotional to recall.
The favorite thing is that the whole film is full of vitality:
Beijing always has bright weather, the protagonists' daily life takes place on sunny days, even if the song is scattered and waits alone for the end, the light, still patronizes Chen Wen's small world.
In 2005, when the film was released, there was no 996, 007, nor was there an inner volume lying flat, Beijing City is still everyone's Beijing, there is not so much "pain" in Beijing love story, the small antique shop run by Chen Wen is like a spiritual coordinate, declaring that youth should have fun, confusion, fantasy, thinking and growth.
What is even more surprising is that such an authentic Beijing-style romantic comedy, so many real fragments of Beijing's well life, but it was made by a director born in Taiwan and grew up with his parents in China, the United States, Australia and Canada - Wu Shixian.
These years of hot youth films, it seems that it is difficult to get rid of the leg splitting misunderstanding, parental opposition, friends against the eyes, the game of ideals and reality or the "pain" routine of life and death, or caught in the network TEXT IP + traffic star of the trap, the actor is greater than the role, but those, belonging to the ordinary people's grounded youth and growth, rarely produce good works, and even disappear in the prosperous film market, probably because capital feels that the "cool point" of this kind of film is not enough...
Douban netizens said: The most beautiful quality of waiting for this movie alone lies in the sincerity of the heart, not pretentious but not hot.
Indeed it is.
In this ancient love youth comedy, you will see the actor Xia Yu Li Bingbing Gong Beiyuan play a matching comfortable and trustworthy role at just the right age, and you can also hear the early classic song skewers of Xu Wei, Hua'er, New Pants, Long Kuan Jiu Duan and other singer bands.
It was, a golden age that belonged to others.
