I don't know when it started, the so-called "youth films" we watch are always indispensable to drop out of school, fights, abortions and other plots. Even the directors have grasped the "wealth code" of making this type of movie, looking for a few handsome men and beautiful women as traffic bearers, the plot dog does not matter if the dog is not bloody, the actor's acting skills are not bad, it does not matter, anyway, there will always be a large number of fans to pay.
It is in this environment that youth films are increasingly rejected by everyone, and even when this type of film is mentioned, the audience is more scornful. But youth films also have very good works.
Shunji Iwai is a Japanese film director, writer and documentary filmmaker. It is also called "Wong Kar-wai of Japan" by Chinese film fans. Its film style is known for its fresh and unique images and delicate and rich feelings. As early as 2004, "Flowers and Alice" filmed the beauty of youth moments, pure love and so on shown by the genre of youth films to the extreme, and also won a large number of audiences and fans.
"Flowers and Alice" is a youth love film directed by Shunji Iwai and starring Apricot Suzuki and Yu Aoi. It mainly tells that the young girl Hana (Suzuki Apricot) and Alice (Aoi Yu) who grew up together are a pair of close friends, but the two have very different personalities, Alice is lively and active, chasing when she sees love, and Hana is shy by nature, along with the boy she likes to talk will be shy.
While accompanying Alice on the daily commute to school and taking the train, Hana also secretly falls in love with Miyamoto, who often accompanies the boy. Later, he entered the high school where Miyamoto attended, and also entered Miyamoto's club, the Rakugo Society.
By chance, Miyamoto suffered from "transient amnesia", and Hana pretended to be his girlfriend, watching the lie intensify to the point of no end, and Hana had to pull Alice together to continue weaving this lie.
But Miyamoto fell in love with Alice, who had a lively personality in the process.
Obviously, it is a more cheesy plot, but Shunji Iwai's shooting methods and pictures will immerse you in the complex relationship intertwined with love and friendship.
In addition to love and friendship, it is more that the audience can see the growth of the protagonist in the whole process, and finally attach Alice's solo dance, which is also the display of her reconciliation with the past, beginning to express herself and strive for opportunities.
After watching this dance, who else wouldn't like this girl?
