After watching "Bouquet of Love", my heart could not be calm for a long time.
First, this love story is too good to be filmed, the details are full of points, so good that it does not need to be empathetic to be deeply affected by it.
The second is that I really haven't seen a pure romance film for a long time, so good that I suddenly think back to the last one, and even go back to "Titanic".
In fact, the framework structure is very simple, and even some people comment on some sentimentality and tackiness, but it is such a film that guesses the end by looking at the beginning, there is no car accident amnesia and life and death parting, so that Douban scored a high score of 8.7.
I really admire the screenwriter for being able to use such a gentle and delicate brushstroke to depict a love that is still beautiful despite regrets.
The male protagonist Wheat and the female protagonist Xiao Silk met one night before catching the last train, and they chatted about their respective interests and hobbies, and found that they were surprisingly consistent.
Xiao Silk said that the wheat bookshelf was simply a copy of itself.
Like-mindedness made the two of them quickly fall in love, and they all had all the beautiful appearances of love in their student days.
Thoughts and thoughts were almost perfectly aligned, and the two of them didn't even disagree, let alone quarrel and fight.
But after entering the society, Wheat found a busy job, and he did not have time to share his favorite books, movies and games with Xiao Silk.
The most important thing is that his thinking has changed a lot from the past.
As always, Xiao Silk lives in her own world, and the two people gradually drift apart, and finally choose to break up peacefully.
When they meet again, they have new partners by their side, and they wave goodbye with their backs to each other as they walk left and right.
Yes, there is no rotten plot that makes them break the mirror and break the thread, and in the end they just become the occasional passer-by in each other's diaries.
As we are told at the beginning of the film, the two of them ended up breaking up.
The manga was over, the favorite bakery was closed, and the group that had been watching the growth along the way was disbanded.
If none of this happens, will they break up?
It will still be.
Why?
Pure love will lose to two words.
Reality, money, face, self-esteem?
Maybe these are the reasons.
But Ye Qiuchen believes that it is "distance".
This distance cannot be simply understood as the contempt for making money and the lack of income, nor the inferiority complex brought about by the disparity in status, but the distance of the heart.
Everything else seems to be compromised, and can be satisfactorily resolved through the concessions of one side.
But "distance" exists objectively and cannot be changed.
When I was a student, love involved fewer factors and was relatively pure, just "I like you" & "You also happen to like me".
Don't worry about livelihood problems, no worries about chai rice oil and salt.
Their hearts, there is no distance.
Opinions, almost no disagreement.
But we all know that the beauty of the student years will not last forever.
From the moment they graduate and look for a job, the story has entered a turning point.
Wheat's father cut off his living expenses, the unit price of wheat's drawings began to fall, and he no longer had an income, but he still had to maintain a basic life.
So the coffee of wheat and silk became an instant version.
After looking for a long job, Wheat did not have a chance until he was admitted to the current company.
He desperately wanted to make more money to support his family, and thus became a different person.
I used to read comics, but now I'm going to pick books that teach you how to succeed.
He didn't understand why Xiao Silk could still live in the beauty of her student days, because reality was cruel.
If the wheat hadn't changed, the two of them would still be the most suitable couple.
Life may be hard, maybe they can't even afford instant coffee, but they are still rich and happy inside.
As long as they don't encounter an urgent matter that requires a lot of money, they will be satisfied with such a small day.
But I always thought there was nothing wrong with wheat.
There's nothing wrong with becoming realistic.
But can you say that Little Silk is wrong?
No, she wasn't wrong either.
After all, it was these same ideas and hobbies that attracted each other in the first place.
None of them chose the wrong one, but one changed, one still pursuing the ultimate love in their own world.
The distance between the hearts is stretched.
When Wheat decides to transform, their love is doomed to only two endings.
Break up, or get married.
The two people broke up in the hotel scene, and I cried.
In just a few minutes, let them see the table they used to sit at was occupied by someone else, see another pair of young people just like they used to be, see Wheat in order to keep the little silk, and say "Let's get married."
In the beginning, they were all planning to break up.
But wheat is reluctant.
There are so many people in this world, how lucky I have a us.
This song of Karen Mok suddenly sounded in my mind, and I sang it in a trance for a long time.
Xiao Silk looked at the couple and chatted about topics similar to their past, favorite songs, favorite books, and everything that coincided.
She cried, crying that she had also found such a person, but this person was lost as she walked and could never come back.
Sitting in front of him was just another person who looked the same, but whose soul had completely changed.
The stone would be lost to the cloth, and they didn't understand it in the past.
They thought that the stone would break through the cloth, so the cloth was the loser.
But later, they slowly accepted this rule, so wheat won the cat through a rock-scissors cloth.
He said, "I've grown up."
He was no longer the boy that little silk used to like.
Ye Qiuchen believes that the best design of this film is in the second half.
If the contradiction between two people getting along shows a normal distribution trend, then the value of the initial honeymoon period is the lowest, then gradually rises to the peak, and then slowly returns to the original level.
Three months after the breakup, because they did not immediately find a house to move away, Xiao Silk and Wheat continued to live together.
They ate together and watched movies, just like the ambiguity before love.
Then, each moved away.
Back to the strange.
When we meet again, we are completely relieved.
Wave goodbye.
There are so many people in this world, how lucky, I once had us.
