Everyone is making choices every day, small choices and big choices, choices to start choosing to leave, going around. What underpins these choices? Is it ideal? Is it money? Or feelings? There may be, and every time you start and leave, you inject too many waves into people's hearts. Take leaving, you may feel that leaving is to better remember, people's images exist in each other's imagination, and those beautiful and even painful, exist and affect the future. "Which Day We Will Fly" starring Miriam Yang seems to make this nostalgia go further, that is, to better start.
It's a beautiful and slightly painful film. The story of "Which Day We Will Fly" starts from the present: interior designer Peng Shenghua and travel agency employee Yu Fengzhi have been husband and wife for many years, but the feelings have long been flat. A high school reunion reminded Fengzhi of her old classmate Su Bowen in her student days, and then she found Su Bowen's blog on the Internet, which suddenly evoked her memories of her student days. When Fengzhi found an ambiguous text message on her husband Peng Shenghua's phone, she revisited the campus at that time.
Oh, yes, in fact, Yu Fengzhi and Su Bowen and her husband Peng Shenghua are the iron triangle of the campus era. Husband Peng Shenghua's personality is lively and outgoing, good at doing handicrafts, ideally to be an interior designer; Su Bowen is taciturn and practical, good at making mechanical devices, can distinguish the sounds of thirty-eight kinds of aircraft, and dreams of being an aircraft pilot. Feng Zhi, who has just transferred to school, joined the world of the two aviation learning and began a fantastic friendship journey.
Su Bowen gave Yu Fengzhi a lot of romantic imagination, about running away and traveling the world; Peng Shenghua also gave Yu Fengzhi a lot of imagination, and he who was quite accomplished in interior design could completely capture the girl's heart. The lively and cheerful Peng Shenghua is even more eye-catching. The Iron Triangle has experienced many bridges that can be recalled later. In the continuous exchange, the two boys loved Fengzhi, until one day, Su Bowen disappeared silently in their world and went to study in Britain.
Before the tide of the times in 1997, Su Bowen's departure was a sign that people were confused and overwhelmed, and their hearts were unwilling, or at the urging of ideals, they quickly started and left. Not only Su Bowen, Yu Fengzhi They actually have the possibility of running away, but Yu Fengzhi because of her father's affair, gambling she refused to be arranged, and she refused to study abroad. Yu Fengzhi, who imagined being able to travel the world as a tour guide, did not expect that in front of reality, she had become an administrative staff member of a travel agency. Although Peng Shenghua, a corner of the Iron Triangle, has also become an interior designer, he has to look at people's faces.
Ideals are such fragile things, if you take time as a reference, you will feel that in the fleeting fate of individuals, there are very few opportunities for people to chase their dreams. Yu Fengzhi later became with Peng Shenghua, but the cruel side of time finally slowly appeared: emotional hardship, broken ideals. At this time, people habitually look back and remember well. Perhaps memory is an instinct of human beings to make psychological compensation.
When the scene of the campus was presented in Yu Fengzhi's mind at that time, the footsteps of walking finally brought her back to the campus. Those flying airplanes, cute mechanics, rainy days and imagination. Of course, there is also the difficult past of the campus. In fact, in Peng Shenghua's heart, the feelings and emotional confusion given to him by reality are also not small. He would also subconsciously think of the beauty with Yu Fengzhi. There is a saying that is good: Peng Shenghua remembered wrongly, all of them were Yu Fengzhi of that year; and what Yu Fengzhi threw away, a moment can suddenly all come back to life.
Youth originally had such moments, in fact, it was not so dull, just because I was with you and him. At that time, it was full of imagination of the future, when it was possible to make unbridled jokes, when the two boys embellished the fairytale world for Yu Fengzhi. One loves hot, one loves deeply, and when the time finally comes to that moment, it is inevitable that they will be separated, and the choice must be made. When Yu Fengzhi chose Peng Shenghua, Su Bowen chose to leave silently. Life changed. When the passion quit and even began to find happiness again, Yu Fengzhi saw the accident and finally understood something.
Yu Fengzhi, who found Su Bowen's blog, finally wrote him an email without hesitation, and the reply was unexpected. Perhaps the more unexpected but reasonable final scene is the footnote of the whole film, the past is released, memory is a cage, but also a treasure chest, we have the sovereignty of the past, it should be for the better now. When Yu Fengzhi and Peng Shenghua released the manual plane together, every audience member will have their own understanding. But just as the plane was moving forward, these memories prompted people to set off better.
