Today, I recommend a campus youth film to you.
The film was released on May 1, 2020, and considering that many readers have not yet seen the full film, we went straight to the subject.
Synopsis:
Paul, a school cadet, falls in love with the school flower, Este. Because he is not good at words, he has to hire a high-achieving student who is in the same high school and often writes love letters to Ai Lichu, a high-achieving student who writes papers for people "as gunmen".
Later, she switched to the front line, pretending to be Paul, and interacted with Este on social software; offline, she personally taught Paul how to pursue Este as he liked.
Between the letters, she found that she actually had a different affection for Este, and at the same time, the relationship between her and Paul became complicated.
One of the best things about this movie is that it compares life to a painting.
The best thing about famous paintings often comes from the fifth brush stroke of the painter.
The more paintings, the more the original balance will be broken, thus ruining the entire painting; if there are fewer paintings, it will never become a famous painting.
Therefore, if you want to become a good painter, you must not only have the courage to break and reconstruct, but also have the ability to paint a good work again.
In fact, life is the same.
If we want to make our lives more fulfilling, we have to imitate the painter to draw a stroke out of the ordinary, and then break the original balance, and finally strive to make our lives into more beautiful paintings.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > Ellie's outrage: ice with her past, born to the sun</h1>
When Ellie was 5 years old, she moved to the United States with her parents.
However, his mother died prematurely, and his father was ostracized at work because of his status as an immigrant. The family's life was quite poor.
Therefore, Ellie had to shoulder the burden of life and earn a meager income at school by writing papers for her classmates.
She is a highly qualified student who can interpret Plato's concept of love from 6 different angles, and thus becomes the proud protégé of the philosophy teacher.
Her teacher recommended her to study at Greenell College, which is ranked 11th in the United States, but she refused.
Because she wanted to go to a school that wasn't very good, but was close to home and had a very high scholarship.
Until she met Este, the story changed dramatically.
She never thought she would fall in love with Esther, knowing that such love would not be recognized by others, so Ellie was silent and sad.
However, all this was seen by the father.
Later, he learned of his daughter's secret from Paul, and he privately filled out the Glinel College admission application for her.
He said, "I'm not here to make you like me, but to make you like your mother." ”
Since life is in a dilemma, you can only seek change and breakthrough.
So Ellie drew the most outrageous stroke of her life, saying goodbye to her past friends and things, and carrying her bags to Glenel College.
Hopefully, after returning from school, Esther will be a completely different version of himself.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > Paul's outrage: breaking with tradition, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step</h1>
Paul was the fourth son in the family, and the family made a living making German sausages.
Since Grandma's generation, they have been using their own unique formula to debug. Later, with the progress of the times, the German sausage business at home was not as good as before.
So Paul wanted to inherit the family business while creating a more delicious sausage with a new recipe.
Before he met Ellie, his actions were not supported by anyone; after knowing Ellie, Ellie and Ellie's father became his first diners.
The sausage after grilling is very crispy, so he named it Taco sausage.
But Paul wasn't satisfied, and he showed up at Ellie's house regularly every day to start experimenting with different approaches to sausages.
Ellie also helped Paul send letters of recommendation to foodies.
In the end, Paul was recognized by the foodie, and through constant consultation with his family, he also received the support of his family.
From the first time Paul decided to change the recipe of the sausage, he had actually drawn the most outrageous stroke of his life, even in the face of his mother's scolding, he still did not forget the original cultivation.
The film also gives us an open-ended ending.
When Paul takes Ellie on the train, he gives her a whole bag of sausages and tells him that his sausages will be popular in the future.
As viewers, in our eyes, Paul's future success is even more reasonable.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, so it is better to have too many dreams, so it is better to do it now.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-center-line" > Este's outrage: breaking free from the shackles of the family and pursuing his dreams</h1>
Este is a legendary woman.
The boyfriend is a typical rich second generation, and half of the property in the town is under his family's name. Her father was also a well-known priest in the town.
Everyone thought they were a natural couple, but no one knew that in fact, she was living very depressed in such a family.
When listening to her father's sermon, she would not stop thinking of some strange knowledge to try to awaken the heart that was dozing off.
When she goes out to play with her boyfriend, she will read and write to herself.
Even at the evening family gathering, she could not enjoy sitting comfortably.
Bound by family and marriage, she became confused and even gave up her dream of learning painting.
It wasn't until she met Ellie that she realized that she could also have an unusual stroke.
The first time I scribbled on the wall with people, the first time I followed Ellie to experience life at the train station, the first time I ran to the countryside with Ellie to soak in the hot spring...
These things that others took for granted, but she felt a special novelty.
Unconsciously, she also developed an inexplicable liking for the girl in front of her.
After her boyfriend proposed, she also met Ellie's confession.
There was no promise, no refusal, and instead he left the church and did not appear for several days.
It wasn't until Ellie came to say goodbye that she accepted Ellie's kiss, and she told Ellie that she would continue her dream and go to the Academy of Fine Arts for further study.
Ester's confusion stems from his dependence on his existing life, and his boyfriend's family is rich, and his family even rents a house.
Making an out-of-the-box decision means upsetting the existing balance.
In the process of breaking the balance, she may get excellent painting skills, may lose her boyfriend, or she may achieve the most beautiful paintings in her life because of her own abnormality.
Life is only once, the rest of life is not long, dare to pursue their dreams, will not be in vain to go through this life.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-center-line" > a perception of the movie</h1>
Through the story of three people, this film creatively uses the topics of same-sex love and heterosexual love to interpret the artistic philosophy of life painting.
Although the ending of the film is an open-ended ending, I think this ending is the most perfect.
The ancient Greeks once said: Once upon a time, people were born with a head, two faces, four hands and four feet. Only because God was dissatisfied with the fact that man no longer respected the gods, he divided man into two halves. Until a soul mate is found, individuals are lonely. It is not until another him or her is found that the human spirit becomes complete.
Although the last three all went in different directions, they achieved each other and made each other more complete.
Ellie went to a prestigious school for further study, Paul developed a new recipe for sausages, and Este found herself and dreams.
Therefore, the screenwriter's careful thinking is also obvious, she hopes that each of us can draw a seemingly out-of-the-ordinary stroke in life and find the most correct direction in our lives.
