Bouquet of Love is the best movie I've seen since the start of 2022. Whether it's in terms of the integrity, comfort, rhythm, or empathy of the script, it's almost impeccable. It is recommended that directors who want to make romance films buy tickets to watch and study. Don't think that romance is a dog blood film, what terminal illness, car accident, miscarriage, polyamorous love are staged. And since it is a love film, it must play a correct role in guiding, do not always end in death, too unlucky.
Two work-study college students, each with a crush on their senior and sister, but they did not even have the opportunity to confess. After the school reunion, they met because they missed the last subway, and they got acquainted because they had too many similar hobbies. How similar are they? I like the same game, I chase the same novel, I love to watch the same movie, I like the same director, and I will believe that they are half-siblings at this time. This is probably the fate of the legend!
The first kiss was at the traffic light, which remained the same, and the closer they got to the kiss, the deeper they kissed. Later, I learned that it was a button-type traffic light, and this was the time of day. Dating always accommodates the other party's preferences. The male protagonist, Yamao Mai (Sugata Shoko), is obviously not very interested in the mummy exhibition, but still goes to the appointment. The heroine Yatsuya Juan (played by Jun Mura) originally had no feelings for the natural gas storage tank, or agreed to watch the video for more than three hours (falling asleep in the middle).
If accommodation belongs to people, then the gatherings organized by the senior students and the restaurants they often go to are the location. In these places, either they believe more and more in love (the senior and the sister have the same tattoo), or they can always meet the music theorists and directors they like, and even the waiter who brings them tea and water is a member of the girl group who grows up on the aesthetic point.
They work so hard for their dreams, so free to live the romantic life they want with the people they love. It is a pity that life is not a virgin, and it is bound to peel off the shell of their idealism with a knife and penetrate the sour, sweet and bittersweet of their lives. After the two graduated, the heroine wanted to apply for a job in a large company, but repeatedly failed, and finally had to go to work for an ice cream shop. Obviously, it was the work of three people, but she had to bear all the burdens of one person, because the store manager and another clerk were ambiguous and did not work.
The male protagonist wants to make a living by drawing illustrations, after all, this is his hobby. Every day, there are not many paintings that light the lamp and boil the oil, and the remuneration for each one is only 1,000 yen, and it can only barely maintain food and clothing. Later, he actually drew three pictures and gave him a thousand yen. Forced by life, the female protagonist had to follow the advice of her family to examine, and the male protagonist also put on a nasty suit to go to a large company to nod his head and be reprimanded.
I think their stories are the reality of most people in real life. Every young person who has just graduated has a flesh and blood time, and initially he is an idealist. Who wouldn't want to think of a hobby as a lifelong work? But they have to pay the rent and consider getting married. The main thing is that over time, work has taken up most of their time, private life has been almost exhausted, and even love has become a luxury, not done for three months.
Five years is not a short time, enough to make each other go from liking each other to getting tired of each other. Even at a friend's wedding, the topic they discuss with the people around them is to ask someone to ask for a counselor "how to decently propose to break up with the other party." But really came to this step, the man is reluctant to the woman, but the woman is very determined... Good gathering and dispersion, goodbye is a passerby. There was no big noise, no crying, no pessimism, and no death. After watching them, people also believe that love has miracles.
