The hit of the front-end drama "I Want to See You" a few years ago not only made Xu Guanghan and other stars popular, but also made Wu Baishen's comedy "Last Dance" completely popular.
In "I Want to See You", the heroine passed through the past because she listened to "Last Dance", and a series of unbelievable love-hate feelings occurred under the influence of the butterfly effect.
The movie I want to recommend to you today is a bit similar to "I Want to See You".
But the difference is that the time traveled through only one song -
Best of the Best
The Greatest Hits
Harriet is a music maniac who wears headphones everywhere she goes, and looks a little cold and untouchable.
But in reality, it's all her disguise.
Her boyfriend, Max, died in a car accident two years ago, and she was in the car at the time and witnessed the tragedy.
Harriet, who was deeply devastated inside, suffered from a strange illness, hallucinating when she heard music, and her mind would instantly return to a moment before he and her boyfriend died.
But soon it will come back to the real world, and so on and so forth.
After experiencing countless such bizarre flashbacks, Harriet discovers that it wasn't actually her hallucination, but that she had actually gone back in time.
She and Max both love to collect vintage vinyl records, and they first met at an open-air music festival, where they fell in love at first sight and fell in love.
And the songs they have listened to have become a kind of time marker.
In the two years since her boyfriend's death, whenever Harriet rehearses the songs, she travels back in time to the time when she and her boyfriend first heard the songs.
But the time traveled is very short, only the time of one song.
So even though Max has been dead for two years, Harriet can see him from time to time, as long as the music plays.
There are sweet memories and of course painful ones.
Nothing hurts more than the minutes before a car accident.
Every time Harriet returns to that point in time, she does her best to prevent the tragedy from happening, but each time it ends in a car crash.
Since there is also often music to trigger the crossing in the shops on the street, Harriet can only wear headphones at all times in order to prevent unconscious crossing.
Put on a song before going to bed and go back to those times when your boyfriend was still alive to anesthetize yourself.
She couldn't get out of it, and she couldn't let go of the past, so her heart was extremely painful, and she could only be relieved by participating in emotional mutual aid meetings.
However, it was at the mutual aid meeting that she met a boy, David.
David was very attracted to the girl who always wore headphones, but whenever he wanted to go further, Harriet would subconsciously dodge and leave in a hurry.
Once the two were talking, Harriet had a sudden seizure and fainted in the toilet.
Because she accidentally heard the song that triggered the crossing in the restaurant, she returned to the sweet scene with her boyfriend.
This kind of switching feels so bad, it's like cheating and being caught by a real boyfriend.
In the face of a friend's questioning, Harriet also confessed that she had some feelings for David, but she couldn't develop with him, because then she couldn't face Max.
My friend said that you can't be like a jade to a dead person.
But her boyfriend is still "alive" to her, and they will meet as long as the music plays, although the time they see each other is short, but it is all true.
To this end, she also goes to some old-fashioned vinyl record stores to collect as many songs as she and her boyfriend listened to during their lifetimes, so that she can go back to more of the past.
Like a lost person caught in a time spiral, Harriet closes herself off and survives with only a few minutes of affection with her boyfriend every day.
But David's appearance is like a ladder that allows Harriet to get out of the walls and see a more real and better world.
He was really warm, and seeing that Harriet was reluctant to open his mouth to mention the secret of the headphones, he stopped asking.
Knowing that Harriet likes music, she will play some songs in line with her preferences, but it turned out to be self-defeating several times, but instead triggered Harriet's time travel and "delivered" Harriet to her boyfriend.
The most embarrassing thing is that once Harriet and David were kissing and accidentally touched the music button, and the next second Harriet returned to Max's bed and rolled with him.
In fact, Harriet likes David, but she can't let go of Max, not to mention that they see each other every day, every day!
Even if she doesn't take the initiative to cross, those ubiquitous songs will take her to Max's side.
And that unexpected car accident is also a reminder to Harriet that tragedy happened in a moment, can it be avoided by changing history?
Harriet is helpless, she can't understand that she will love two men at the same time, which is not only unfaithful to her boyfriend, but also unfair to David.
So she decided to confess to David the real reason behind her strange behavior.
When he learns that Harriet will meet with her dead boyfriend every night, David can't accept it, but he also loses his parents, and he slowly learns that Harriet is trapped in the past.
If you want to save Harriet, it depends on whether Harriet's heart is willing to open.
And the sound of a vinyl record brought Harriet back to a point she had never been back to.
She and her boyfriend were shopping for chairs that day, and Harriet was surprised to find that David was also in the store and that his parents were alive.
She tried to leave a mark in the store, but when the crossing was over, she actually found the note she had written in the store.
So the time travel will change history, she always wanted to reverse her fate a few minutes before the car accident, but the time is too short to achieve it.
But what if at the beginning of it all?
If she had turned down Max's invitation at the festival and stopped crossing paths with her boyfriend, they wouldn't have been in love, they wouldn't have lived together, they wouldn't have bought chairs, they wouldn't have gone down that road, and they wouldn't have had that car accident.
The end of the story is very sad, Harriet travels back in time and asks Max, if we can prevent one of us from dying if we don't know each other, will you choose not to know me?
Max replied, yes I would.
This was his answer, and Harriet's last choice.
But it also meant that she wouldn't go to mutual aid and wouldn't know David.
Letting go means that the two lovers are lost together, and even with themselves all memories will be erased.
So when the music starts again, Harriet arrives at the festival and, after whispering I love you, tearfully declines Max's invitation.
In the space of two years, everything Harriet experienced was rewritten, Max survived, got a new girlfriend, and lived a life that had nothing to do with her.
Harriet, on the other hand, is alone, but she has lost her painful past and is focused on her career and shines in the workplace.
She still loves music, but she never has to wear headphones anymore.
She still goes to music festivals, but she's alone.
As more and more people on the dance floor took turns around her, Harriet looked across and the person across from her looked at Harriet.
Strange yet familiar.
If Harriet is a straight line, then so is Max, so they only have one intersection point, and if they miss it, there will be no intersection again.
But David is a curve, and even if they miss an intersection, they will always meet again at the next intersection.
The movie stops at this moment and doesn't continue, maybe they will fall in love at first sight like she and Max did, or maybe they just rub shoulders and become each other's passers-by.
As David said when he learned that she had decided to let go, whatever the outcome, at least we went through it together.
