"The happiest thing in the world is to have money in my pocket, dreams in my heart, and me on my pillow." The confusion of the end of love is that people in love always think that they are the only ones who can give each other happiness, but the result is often not. Love often blurs the boundaries between giving and reaping, some people reap happiness because of a steady stream of giving, and some people regard the happiness of love as their own gift. This is my understanding of the love concept of "Amy's Diary", an online movie of only 1 hour and 10 minutes, just by recording the trivialities of life in love, it can actually express the theme of "love and confusion" so thoroughly and sharply in ease and humor, no wonder even Cannes has opened its welcome wings, which really makes the theater those sensational paragraph movies ashamed.
Self-documented movies, close to the real feelings of love
Self-recorded filming is a new thing in China, but this shooting method is also widely used in foreign science fiction and horror films, and what impresses Cannes and other major film festivals is definitely not a certain shooting method, but the idea expressed by the film, but perhaps this first-person perspective of self-recording shooting can more perfectly complete that kind of emotional expression. But I think there is another success in this expression, that is, shuzi director's unique female perspective, only women, can keenly capture so many trivial and small information in love, and constantly lay out this information, continue to repeat, until the conflict, until the end of love, everything seems so logical. And this information is the memory that comes to mind at the moment when our love ends.
Love is sweet, but it is not great
Director Shuzi said: "In fact, most people's love is not champagne, red wine, party, and what I want to do is to tell such a grounded love that happens to you and me. Indeed, the love we remember is an intimate contact, a violent collision, a sudden arrival and a sudden loss of sweetness, a heartbreaking and powerful trauma. Love always lingers in the heartbeat, anxiety, sweetness, and sentimentality, and the kind of film and television drama love that moves the world and moves the world, life and death, we normal people are not blessed to consume. The beauty of love lies in the emotion of inexplicably ignoring the self, in the warm experience that transcends the senses, which can come violently, but not necessarily the only one, and since there is gain, it is possible to lose. But many times, marriage and responsibility have kidnapped love, and in most literary and artistic works, love is glorified to a certain state that cannot be desecrated, and it cannot be disappeared or betrayed, which is not true.
The real world of Amy grain is still too illusory as we expect
"Amy's Diary" records the love story of post-90s youth, and director Shuzi also prides himself on recording the truest love story, but this truth makes us feel somewhat unattainable, and faintly feel some heartache. In real life, we carry too much responsibility, there is a responsibility to the family, there is a responsibility to society, there are expectations for the contradictions of our own life, on the one hand, we expect to go to poetry and far away, but on the other hand, we are eager to be in front of us, so that it is difficult for us to use the most authentic attitude and feelings to face the people and things that appear in life, as well as feelings. In this regard, the young Amy grains are lucky, their reality has unattainable unreality in our real life, fortunately, there is such a movie, let us briefly return to this expectation, that is enough, it is indeed a good movie.
