In the depths of each of us, there is a person hidden, and every time we think of him, we feel a little heartache, but we are still willing to keep him in our hearts. - "The Little Thing About First Love"
In the long life, there will always be a purest relationship to accompany us to grow up, or regret breaking up after falling in love, or having a chance to accompany us for a lifetime. However, more than not, love is hard to open in the heart, and then it is constantly missed.
In August 2010, Thailand released the film "The Little Thing About First Love", which is still watched by the audience. With a Douban rating of 8.4, it is a youth romantic comedy film that is actually based on a true story and has been named the best film of the year by the Thai entertainment sector.
In the film, Xiaoshui, a girl with very ordinary appearance, family and grades, has a crush on the handsome and excellent senior A Liang in the school, who is brave and persistent although she has low self-esteem, and with the help of three good friends, she finds the direction and begins to work hard to improve herself. Gradually, she became beautiful, had self-confidence, and eventually grew into a beautiful girl at the Fengyun School.
For the senior A Liang, whether it is an ordinary little water or an outstanding and dazzling little water, it is a little girl he cares about. However, due to various reasons, he failed to open his mouth, so that the two kept missing out until they graduated. Fortunately, after nine years, they reunited by chance and wrote the perfect ending for this first love.
Although this is an old film from 11 years ago, we can still see the shadow of our youth in every scene in the film, just like the small things that really happened around us, so it has aroused a lot of resonance.
Perhaps everyone has an unforgettable first love in their hearts, or beautiful or regretful, and there are many emotions. The film portrays the campus crush from three angles, and its charm lies not only in expressing the bittersweet and bittersweet of adolescent love, but also in the realistic inspiration and insight brought to us.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" >01, two-way crush: the best thing about love is not being together, but about perfecting a better self</h1>
In this two-way crush, the girl Xiaoshui is always braver than the boy A Liang, and the expression of feelings is more straightforward, just an inferiority complex, a self-doubt.
(1) For Xiaoshui, the distance between inferiority and self-confidence comes from appearance and academic performance
Reading the first year of the small water, although ordinary but happy.
In terms of family, she has a beautiful mother who loves herself, a hard-working father who goes to the United States to work and support her family, and a naughty sister. Her own poor appearance is not annoying, mainly because she does not have the pressure from life.
In school, Xiaoshui has three well-connected classmates and friends, whose academic performance is not too bad and has a colorful life. The only thing on her mind is probably that she has a crush on Ah Liang, a senior in high school.
In fact, each crush can be divided into three stages, which can be seen from the changes in Xiaoshui's feelings.
In the first stage, it is not free to pay attention to each other and artificially create intersections.
Xiao Shui's eyes are always looking for The figure of Ah Liang, she has seen Ah Liang riding a bicycle, Ah Liang who is frolicking after class, taking advantage of the opportunity to go to the toilet during class, secretly running upstairs to meet Ah Liang and so on.
They will be overjoyed by each brief contact, and will also mistake a button for a careful preservation of Ah Liang's object, and will pour out to it when they are happy or angry.
In the second stage, try your best to get the attention of the other party.
Xiao Shui tried various methods in the "Love Book", such as sending chocolates, wanting Ah Liang to know that someone paid attention to him and liked him, but he met other girls to give gifts and left angrily.
Her good friend Ah Xia recommended the seventh method to her, that is, "let love become the driving force, make yourself stronger and more beautiful, and become better in every aspect." In my opinion, this is a wise approach.
In fact, there are not many adolescent girls who deliberately change their image, unless it is the beginning of the love sinus and the boy who likes it. Xiao Shui is like this, she spent a year to transform herself, the longer and more beautiful, and the results are excellent, truly becoming the "Snow White" in the drama.
These changes A Liang are all looking at in his eyes, although Xiao Shui himself does not know, but to Xiao Shui brought more and more praise and confidence.
The third stage is to really get close to each other and finally confess.
Xiao Shui goes to get close to Ah Liang through Ah Liang's good friend Ah Tuo, and although she does not like Ah Tuo, she does not refuse, because only in this way can she have the opportunity to contact Ah Liang. This is really a bit of a "scum" approach in the eyes of adults, but it is placed on a teenager and a little girl who is immature, which is extra tolerant.
It was her own excellence that gave her such confidence, and her good friends thought the same when they encouraged her to confess. Inferiority and self-confidence do not come out of thin air, but the better you are, the easier it is to gain self-confidence.
(2) Ah Liang silently likes Xiao Shui, and because of love, he breaks the knot and realizes his dream.
The film's feelings for Ah Liang are more subtle. Near the end, it was only through a collection book that A Liang's emotional journey was revealed.
Interspersed with several memory clips, the audience has a sense of sudden realization, so they can't help but look at it from the beginning to capture some clues when their feelings are budding.
For example, jumping down from a tree to stop Xiao Shui and giving her fruit to eat; when a boy jumped in line to buy a drink to bully Xiao Shui, Ah Liang stepped forward; Xiao Shui was driven to the duck shelf by the English teacher, and when he performed a drama with a hard scalp, Ah Liang not only helped himself but also secretly invited a good friend to make up for Xiao Shui. And these all happened when Xiao Shui was still the "ugly duckling", it can be said that Ah Liang has long liked Xiao Shui.
Ah Liang is a very gentle person, handsome, versatile, and has the temperament of a young boy, which is very attractive to little girls. But he is very inferior, even to the point of self-loathing, because of his birth, he was defeated as a father's football game shot, so that he lost the championship, which is the shame of the outsiders.
And this knot, under Xiao Shui's attention, was finally overcome, and thus realized the dream of joining the team.
Simple and beautiful campus love, sometimes sweet and sometimes bitter, A Liang missed opportunities again and again for various reasons, but he and she have become better selves. I think this is the most attractive part of love.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="41" >02, two friendships with different directions: friendship can complete love, but also can destroy love</h1>
In campus life, love is often the most important, and friendship is universal.
Xiao Shui's three good friends completely implemented the words and deeds of "true girlfriends", three years of classmate time, they wrote homework together, talked about the boys they liked together, and gave advice for Xiao Shui together, although they also had unpleasant troubles in the middle, and finally reconciled as before. From the audience's point of view, their significance to Xiaoshui is more important than Ah Liang.
On the contrary, Ah Liang's good friend Ah Tuo, when Ah Liang and Xiao Shui plucked up the courage to show their feelings, Ah Tuo suddenly squeezed in, becoming a "stumbling block" between the two, pressing the pause button for the two-way crush.
After Xiao Shui rejects Ah Tuo, Ah Tuo prevents Ah Liang from pursuing Xiao Shui on the grounds that "I just can't accept that my best friend has become the boyfriend of the person I love." In fact, at this time, I think Ah Tuo has realized that Ah Liang likes Xiao Shui, but he still makes selfish demands on his good friends, which is in stark contrast to Ah Xia.
In real life, the situation of Atuo and A Liang also exists, two good friends like the same girl, there is always a person who chooses to leave the scene, but no one has asked the girl's choice.
But in any case, Ah Liang still fulfilled his friendship and gave up his love.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="51" >03, the teacher's emotional line: adult emotional freedom, adolescent love attachment</h1>
Xiao Shui's English teacher is also a highlight of the film, her teaching performance is not outstanding, and her appearance is also average, which is very similar to Xiao Shui in the early stage. At first, she had a crush on the tall and handsome PE teacher, but the PE teacher had a crush on another beautiful female teacher.
As an adult, English teachers are good at self-imagination and self-comfort, and even if they are "pierced" by physical education teachers, they can still quickly adjust their emotions and not be affected by them.
In the end, the physical education teacher was about to leave, and the English teacher was in love, but when he saw the new handsome and golden physical education teacher, he instantly changed his face and immediately shifted his goal.
This is the emotional world of adults, which can be taken and put down, and Xiao shui only likes Ah Liang alone from beginning to end. Therefore, in contrast, it highlights the beauty of the first love, and if you accidentally miss it, you will regret it for life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="58" >04, the love concept conveyed by the film: let love become the driving force</h1>
Love is the real driving force behind people's recovery.
- (German) Goethe
Good love is the driving force for people to progress upwards, and it is also the source of strength for self-effort to become more excellent.
Just like Xiao Shui and Ah Liang in the film, both changed themselves for love, and after many years of encounters, one is a famous designer, the other is a transformed photographer, and each other is more outstanding and successful.
In my opinion, even if the feelings between two people no longer exist, they can still fall in love with each other again. After all, good people are more likely to be admired and admired.
This crush time about the campus carries many people's memories of youth. Although the film is also complained about the cliché of the plot, dog blood, etc., it still touches people's hearts, because we can always find ourselves in it.
The end of the film makes up for the regret of the first love, and the missed feelings in reality are the ending, and there is rarely a chance to continue the leading edge. So it's not easy to fall in love with someone, it's even harder to fall in love with each other, and we need to have more courage to chase, no matter what the outcome, at least there will be no regrets.
As Liang Jingru sang: Love really needs courage to complete that better self.
