The American realist writer Jack London once said, "Love stays on the top of the mountain, above the valley of reason." Love is the sublimation of life, the pinnacle of life, it is rare to appear. ”
Love is one of the purest emotions between human individuals, and it is also one of the most classic propositions in literature and film and television. It is simple, beautiful, pure, and desirable.
Those movies about love
As the seventh art that human beings are proud of, the film allows us to see the diversity of love and taste the bittersweet and sour in it. Every relationship has its own memories.
Every year, there are many love-themed film and television works, and the most impressive thing this year is this Japanese love literary film known as the "Japanese version of the city of philharmonic music" - "Bouquet of Love".
2021 high-scoring romance film "Bouquet of Love"
"Bouquet of Love" is directed by Yuya Doi, Japan's most capable director of romance films, and led by two young idols, Shoko Sugata and Jun Arimura, kashi is very good.
The film won the box office in Japan for 6 consecutive weeks, setting a global box office of 4.03 billion yen, and is the most gold-containing love literary film in Japan in 2021. The current Douban score of 8.7, better than 97% of romance films, excellent results, worth a look.
Douban 8.7 points, better than 97% romance films
The story takes place in Tokyo, Japan, where the male protagonist Yamao Mai (hereinafter referred to as "Wheat") and the female protagonist Yatsuya Juan (hereinafter referred to as "Xiao Juan") are two ordinary young people in this metropolis.
In the year when the story begins, Mai and Xiaojuan are still two college students who have not yet entered the society. They each envisioned their future and made different plans until fate intersected.

Because they missed the last train, Mai and Xiaojuan met at Tokyo's Mingda Station and got to know each other. In a 24-hour café, the two developed a crush on each other over a common hobby.
After leaving the café, the two talked about common topics and walked all the way. In conversation, they found that their preferences were so similar, even the same—they liked the same writers, the same novels, the same movies, and the same way of life.
We met because we missed the last train
In the free conversation, Mai and Xiaojuan seem to have found another self in the city. They are so speculative, so attached, so attracted to each other, and they have endless words.
In the intervening period, the two became friends who talked about everything. They like each other, but their equally shy personalities make them ashamed to express themselves. Until another night when he missed the last train, Wheat finally plucked up the courage and kissed Xiao juan.
Establish a relationship between lovers
In this way, Mai and Xiaojuan changed from friends to lovers. The sweetness of love makes them drown in it, and they can't extricate themselves, and the cohabitation life like glue paint has also begun from this.
In this vast city, the two live in a small apartment. Although life is hard and tired, but with a person who understands himself by his side, everything has become much easier, which is where the original beauty of love lies.
cohabit
"Love" and "bread" are the staged choices to be faced in life, and Wheat and Xiaojuan cannot escape this test. Graduating and finding a job and surviving in the city is the "bread" problem outside of their "love".
After repeatedly hitting a wall, Xiaojuan finally passed the accounting exam and found a fairly ideal job. Wheat, who wanted to feed himself with comics, had to give up his dream and found a sales job after much trouble.
A mark of growth
In this way, the white sneakers in the two people's apartment were replaced by cargo shoes. It's a sign of growth and a shift in their identity – from student to worker.
Unconsciously, Wheat and Xiaojuan had been together for three years. Perhaps due to the pressure of the workplace, the once full of enthusiasm for the teenager Wheat has gradually drifted away and gradually become a workaholic who is no longer passionate.
Wheat busy with work
Work, socializing, overtime, team building... All kinds of inseparable affairs entangled them, so that the once intimate little world of two people began to crack.
Gradually, tiredness became the norm in wheat. After work, he only wants to rest, instead of watching movies and visiting bookstores with Xiaojuan as before...
After all, love can't beat bread
Chai rice oil and salt is a reality that you have to face after a hot love. This reality makes Wheat pragmatic and Makes Xiaojuan anxious. For two ordinary people, how easy is it to combine love and bread at the same time?
Two people are obviously for each other's good, but they always inadvertently hurt each other, accumulating over time and becoming depressed for a long time. In the fifth year of their acquaintance, this relationship finally came to a broken end, and the two broke up peacefully.
parted
After a long time, the two met in a tea house, and each found their other half, just as sweet as they used to be, but with more maturity and indifference.
In this encounter, the two did not speak, but waved goodbye behind their backs in a tacit understanding after leaving. The streets of Tokyo are crowded, and Wheat in tonal coats runs counter to Xiaojuan, like a pair of lovers who have gone in the wrong direction.
They used to love each other so much, so compatible, but in the end they were just two familiar strangers, they would no longer intersect with each other, they would drift apart, nothing more...
Goodbye
"Bouquet of Love" is the 7th feature film directed by Yuya Doi, and it is also the film work that pours his most emotion and effort, which is very characteristic of the director's personal style. The delicate character emotions and exquisite plot structure in the film cannot be expressed one by one by the text, and I hope that everyone will glance at the original film and feel the subtlety, delicacy and meticulousness of this film in the image.
The film adopts the creative form of the dual perspective of the male and female protagonists and the high-density inner monologue, which details the different psychological changes of the two people in different emotional periods, and is a love literary film that can be seen, heard, and fully sounded and painted. 2021 is coming to an end, and I hope this movie can bring you a different touch or touch.
