Today, Xiaobian has brought you a new director's debut, that is, Xu Yuting's "Who Fell in Love with Him First"!
Speaking of Xu Yuting, you may not be very clear, but when it comes to "God of War", "I May Not Love You", "Meteor Garden 2", you will not be unfamiliar.
Yes, these TV series are all written and produced by Xu Yuting.
And "Who Fell in Love with Him First" is the big-screen directorial debut of this Taiwanese gold-medal screenwriter.
"Who Fell in Love with Him First" is the biggest dark horse of Taipei cinema in 2018, with a total investment of NT$35 million, less than 8 million yuan, and won 5 awards at the Taipei Film Festival in the first half of the year, and 8 nominations at the Golden Horse Awards in November, second only to Zhang Yimou's "Shadow".
On September 12, 2019, Taiwan decided to send "Who Fell in Love with Him First" to compete for the 92nd Academy Awards for Best Nationality Film (formerly the Best Foreign Language Film Award).
"We spent 100 minutes telling a story about forgiveness: forgive those who have hurt you, you don't know why you want to forgive, but from that day on, you became happier than ever." 」
If I had to sum up the film in one sentence, it would be: to tell a sad story through a comedic shell.
Why is it a sad story?
Because the fate of the three protagonists in this movie is very bumpy.
The lover has died, and the little king who loves him the most is pitiful.
Originally, he had a very bright future, a promising actor, but he borrowed so much money for his lover, from a simple teenager to a domineering and unreasonable little, his lover died, and he was so sad that he couldn't cry!
The scene of playing the guitar in the film, saying that Xiao Wang is going to eat, the lover helps him to do it, the camera turns, the kitchen is empty, without him, instant tears.
His lover ran to be a normal person, got married and had children, and moved in with him when he was dying, was he not pitiful?
Her husband likes a man, wants to divorce her, and after death, even the beneficiary of the insurance payment is not her, Liu Sanlian is very pitiful.
She worked hard every day, tried to take good care of her son and husband, and was a good wife and mother.
But the husband wants to divorce her, she has become the same wife, was cheated by a homosexual, and the son is still disobedient, the grades can not catch up, her life, seems to have been denied, she is not pitiful?
Xiao Wang's mother, who lost her eldest son at a very young age, was left with only one relative, that is, Xiao Wang, who hoped that her son could get married and have children, but the result was that her son was gay, and she was very pitiful.
She was pitiful to bear the fact that she was a lot older, but she actively accepted the fact that when her son performed, she brought flowers to see him, although the son was gay, but still her son, and the days were the same as before, no different.
There are countless identical wives in this world like Liu Sanlian, and xiao wangs who dare not come out like Xiao Wang, and everyone is very pitiful.
But life still has to go on, and life is still on the road.
<h1>And why is this a comedy? </h1>
The film follows the narration of this fourteen-year-old child throughout the film, looking at all this from the child's point of view.
And as a same-sex film, plus cheating and cheating with his wife and other factors, but there is no bitter vendetta, but it is very relaxed and very positive.
And some of the graffiti and comics in the film are very cute, and most importantly, the lines in the film are super funny, super cute and super fun!
Some interesting lines, spoilers in advance:
1. If you want to come in, please close the door after the trouble comes in, if you don't want to come in, please close the door directly.

There are various ways to love the living.
You beat him, you scold him, you cheat on her, you hurt her heart,
More or less is the way of love.
And when he died.
Time and space no longer flow.
You open the refrigerator door at night,
The books on your coffee table on the shelves,
A song you heard seventeen years ago.
He left you a deposit for the house,
The child he left for you,
He leaves you with a disputed insurance premium.
It's all him.
But there is no longer him anywhere...
