The so-called girlish feelings are always poetry. Girls, which are the embodiment of human beings' "beauty", the phenomenon of "twin flowers", in today's feminist vision is more and more observed, and it has become the object favored by many literary, film and television works. In the literary works of "July and Ansheng", in addition to the words with the unique cold atmosphere of Baby Anne, I can probably boldly classify it into this genre - 1. There are two heroines with highly symmetrical contrasts, snuggling with each other and accompanying each other on the way to growth. 2. The male protagonist exists in the form of "MacGuffin", which is important at the beginning of the plot, but slowly becomes dispensable as the plot develops. 3. The development of the emotions of the two heroines is always below "love". 4. The two heroines will eventually reach the realm of true inner world fusion, gain complete understanding of each other, or die as one, and the two personalities merge into one and coexist in the same body.
This is also the reason why I particularly like this kind of work, not in the "gunfire rain" to tear people to bring shock, nor like the lesbian film to make the two heroines both show the beautiful flesh of the simple rough, the expression of emotion should be as restrained as possible in the wanton, every inch of the surface and the inside of the penetration are meticulous, filling the gaps in the texture.
In recent years, such stories have been filmed from young girls to teenage girls to adolescent girls.
The French film "Legs Born of Wind" tells the story of two nine-year-old girls, Rachel's life is surrounded by the love of her parents, but also let her lose the freedom of childhood, the appearance of the strange girl Valerie, since then help Rachel opened the door to a new world, but when Rachel gradually regarded Valerie as indispensable in life, Valerie left her forever. It's the story of a girl helping another girl learn to grow up, a film wrapped in the cloak of a French little fresh children's film that discusses the heavy topic of life and death.
Young director Li Xiaofeng's debut work "Maiden Nezha" tells the story of the friendship between a stubborn and gentle but flowing transfer student Xiaolu and Xiaobing, a superior student with a complex inner world, the two people work together to fight against the hypocrisy of family, school, and teachers, but they also inevitably produce cracks in various tests and tribulations, Xiaobing step by step into the extreme, failed to survive the haze overhead adolescence.
Flowers and Alice. Shunji Iwai's classic film, relatively relaxed one, the two heroines are also a shy nature, another dare to love and hate, after experiencing a love triangle, innocent friendship is relieved. "The Tale of the Next Wife", another whimsical And chaotic Japanese film, longing for the medieval French peach who likes rococo costumes meets the motorcycle sister Strawberry, the two people are full of curiosity about each other's lives, and in the process of understanding each other, they have really found themselves.
Returning to "July and Ansheng", Zhou Dongyu and Ma Sichun's interpretation of the two heroines can be described as very good, and it is difficult for me to pick out two other two from the new generation of adult actresses to complete this play. Zhou Ma and the two naturally exude a mature girlish temperament, one of the characters in the play is trapped by the world and has to live a rebellious life, and the other is from a young age that she knows to pretend to be obedient to win the approval of the adult world, all of which are overloaded with the weight that should be loaded by their own age. It's hard to say whether the two actors have dedicated the peak acting skills of their acting careers, but it is undeniable that this is really the most suitable and irreplaceable pair of characters for them.
In the film, the real world and the fantasy world are mixed, and at the same time, changes to the original work are more suitable for the screen performance, the original is Ansheng dystocia, and July raises Ansheng's children to grow up. In the film, on the contrary, Ansheng records their growth story into a book in the name of July, part of which is a restoration of real memories, and the other part is the fantasy she expects to happen, in the real world, July and Ansheng become one, and in the fantasy world, July and Ansheng exchanged their lives, and July, who survived in the fantasy world, like an ansheng, lived a wandering, free, hard but not necessarily unhappy life, leaving his footprints in the snowy Siberia, and under the beacon of Ushuaia at the end of the world ... ...
(This scene is clearly a tribute to Shunji Iwai's "Love Letters," and in the end credits, the director also pays special tribute to Mr. Shunji Iwai.) ）
All the emotional bonds between two people, it is difficult to label any of the three kinds of family, friendship or love, is an intimate relationship between girls in the process of growing up, complex and simple, fragile and strong, easy to knot and difficult to understand, walking, one person stranded in the torrent of endless years, disappeared, and appeared in the body of another person.
Having this kind of relationship must be a very magical experience, and the film basically shows this mysterious magic, which is a domestic high-quality literary adaptation romance film that cannot be missed.
Xiaoling score: ★★★★
