"True Half Solution" - the road is still very long, do not need to fully solve

Murong Xi said: I finally believe that every road that comes up has a reason why it has to trek like that. Every road to go down has a direction it has to choose that way.

Today, I want to share a film released in May 2020----- [Sincerely Half-Understood]. This is a youth drama about the campus, very familiar opening plot, but after watching and then compared with most youth dramas, you will feel that this is actually out of the conventional way, the plot is natural, not deliberate from the advancement, twist, reversal step by step approaching, it is really intriguing.

The silly paul of the football winger falls in love with the art-loving school flower Esther and wants to express this love by writing a letter, but he is not good at expressing it, and can only turn to the smart and literary bully - Ellie. Ellie initially refused, but accepted the deal because there was no income at home. It is because of this exchange of letters and text messages that you and I exchange that the plot has undergone a big reversal. Paul fell in love with Ellie, and Ellie fell in love with the school flower.

You think it's just a school flower, straight man and talented woman love triangle, no, how can it be so simple as love.

"The difference between a good painting and a great painting ...

Often lies in five strokes

These five strokes are usually the boldest of the five strokes in a painting."

The problem, of course, is...

Which five strokes?

I know after painstakingly drawing a good painting...

The last thing you want to do is to be bold, and that's possible

"Will ruin everything"

This is Ellie's dialogue with Esther and their common secret. For Ellie of Chinese descent, even as a bully, a single-parent family cannot escape inferiority, loneliness, and otherness. Because of her religious beliefs, Este accepts that the life arranged for her by her family is not what she wants, and in order to cater to the crowd, she plays the role of four different. It is because of this similarity that there is nowhere to be placed that their spiritual souls collide with each other and attract each other.

"Love is not enduring patience, not kindness and humility.

Love is chaotic and complex, terrible and selfish, and bold enough.

Love is not about finding your perfect other

Love is constantly trying, having the courage to get closer, and then failing. ”

At church, Ellie bravely expressed her thoughts about love. What is love? What is the self? And what does homosexuality mean? Who can question whether this ignorance, right or wrong, or counterintuitive. Maybe for high school students, their lives have just begun. Whether love is truly understood or half-understood, over time, they will grow, will have different ideas, and even more deeply shaped.

As the plot develops, they have their own perceptions emotionally, lies are debunked, misunderstandings have answers, and then there is direction. Silly paul bravely proposed to his mother the idea of changing the sausage recipe, still loving Ellie in his own way. Ellie decides to go to the university at Glinel, whom her teacher recommended, and Esther picks up the paintbrush again for art school and makes an appointment to see her two years later. Finally in them you will find that there is no despair, no fragmented sorrow, and even a gentleness and cuteness of the breeze.

In the last scene, Paul runs at the train station to send Ellie off, and Ellie in the window cries and has to admit that she has really been warmed.

They influence each other, grow each other, and accomplish each other. The road is still very long, and we can spend a lifetime to solve it.
