Everyone's life is like a movie, and they are the protagonists in that movie. Sometimes they think that they are also the protagonists in other people's movies, but maybe they are just a supporting role, only one shot, and maybe their clips have long been cut, and they don't know it yet.
--------- "If Love"
When it comes to Chinese song and dance films, I think Chen Kexin's "If Love" must be a movie that everyone remembers. For director Chen Kexin, "If Love" is just an upgraded version of "Sweet Honey", a choice to explore reality and love, a simple and simple love by Jin Chengwu, Zhou Xun, Jacky Cheung, telling the story, giving the audience more contemplation of whether to forget or not want to forget.
Chen Kexin used a gorgeous layout, the way of song and dance film to tell a very simple love story, the heroine used the male protagonist and abandoned him, became a famous song and dance film star, the male protagonist became a famous director after being abandoned. Many years later, the male and female protagonists met, one wanted to forget, one wanted to remember, and finally could not withstand reality.
The reality ten years ago was that they were all young, and the male protagonist was a student of the film school's directing department, with his own ideals and persistence. By chance, I met the heroine who worked as a washer and ironer in a song and dance troupe. As teenagers, they attracted each other and fell in love with each other! The female protagonist worships the male protagonist's intellectual talent, and the male protagonist likes the innocence and cuteness of the female protagonist, and the two embrace each other for warmth in the cold winter of a different place. But reality is reality after all, the heroine still has a big son who needs her to support, and becoming a song and dance actor is her biggest dream, after all, the poverty of reality makes the heroine use the male protagonist to become a springboard, turn around and throw herself into the arms of people in exchange for fame.
Ten years later, the male protagonist became famous, the female protagonist became a famous song and dance star, and they were reunited again.
"A long time ago, you have me, I have you..." Such a song, once the heroine who dreamed of becoming a star, sang not only her heart, but also sang regret, even if there are memories as support, their fates intersected ten years ago, and ten years later there are still different directions.
The heroine has a director, they may not have love, but they can shoot one after another, the heroine has memories of the male protagonist, but the memory is only a memory, there is no love to rely on, the memory is just pale. Love is just a journey, an accident in life or fate, and it only appears to achieve a better self in the future.
If ten years ago, the male and female protagonists were not separated, they fell in love until they got married, they had their own families, they had love. But life is still poor, the male protagonist still has dreams, but still insists on stubbornness, unwilling to compromise, and still does not get attention. The heroine not only has her own small family but also the support of the original family, is their life not a chicken feather? Many people have said that marriage is the graveyard of love, and even the strongest love will be consumed in marriage and eventually become chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea. Maybe this is the mirror of love, and god is a ghost that comes out at a glance.
Love hard becomes a drag!
So they separated, in the most cruel way in the best of love. The heroine uses the male protagonist as a stepping stone and finally approaches the dream, the male protagonist puts down the self-esteem that is hurt by the female protagonist, and finally they become the self they want to be, and they have become the best of themselves.
If it weren't for that love, would they still be the best version of themselves? Fate is sometimes magical, and it always inadvertently gives everyone a choice question: Do I love you, or do I love myself?
The heroine always loves herself, she knows what she wants, and she is also trying to fight for it. Is there something wrong with loving yourself? The pressure of life is something that no one can share, and in the end it is yourself. Love can't eat enough, but bread can! The male protagonist also loves himself, a proud man, who is ruthlessly used and abandoned, whose proud self-esteem is trampled under his feet, and his heartbreak needs to be smoothed, and the only thing that can be smoothed out is the female protagonist. It's a pity that one wants to forget, one wants to remember. After all, they still love themselves the most!
Director Chen Kexin's "If Love" is more cruel than "Sweet Honey", and "Sweet Honey" is a miss that makes the audience lament love. But "If Love" is the reality of making the audience sigh love. When you are not clothed, what is the use of love?
Just like a movie, there are protagonists, supporting roles, they all think that they are the protagonists of other people's movies, but they don't know that they are only supporting roles. I thought I was my protagonist, but it turned out to be just a passerby. Life is very long, there are many people I meet, who is the protagonist and who is a supporting role, depends on time. People always say that meeting the right person at the right time is the most perfect love. But man, the one who loves himself the most is himself. Remember what you want, love hard when you love, and don't love the forgetting of determination.
Write to yourself: Watching "If Love" at the age of 20, I feel that the heroine does not love the male protagonist, she is just using him, and eventually she uses success to achieve her future self. And the male protagonist loves her so much, she can not want it, and the woman is really fierce. 37 years old in watching "If Love" the heroine must love the male protagonist very much, but she has a big son to support, she needs to succeed, just the male protagonist has become a stepping stone to make her successful, ten years is not long, not a short time, the female protagonist must be very hard to succeed. And the male protagonist has survived the disaster for the rest of his life, and it is only after hard work that he has achieved fame. They all pay a lot for success. Although a journey did not reach the end together, at least they had the original mutual, and the innocence of true love was not there after ten years. Even if love is only in the past, it is good to have been there. Think of it this way, they are actually happy!
end!
