1. "Sunshine Sister Tao" Douban 8.8
The film tells the story of the young people who were once members of the small group of "Seven Princesses" sunny in middle school, and reunited when they became a woman and mother 25 years later, looking for the memories of youth that belonged to that era. The story adopts a structure in which reality and memory are intertwined, that is, the "past" is presented as well as the "modern".
The film presents a touch that is not different from age and country, who has not had their own green years, who has not had a group of best friends who can go crazy together, using the word "stupid" to describe the movie, not a pejorative meaning but praise for it, that innocent stupidity, that friend before pretending to be forced, looking back in the movie is so real and so moved.
2. "Golden Dreamland" Douban 8.5
The film tells the story of an ordinary courier driver, Aoyagi, who is inexplicably charged with assassinating the new prime minister and escapes with the help of friends and various people.
In the face of a sudden framing, "Golden Dream" does not adopt the lonely hero highlighted by the suspense thriller in Hollywood suspense movies, but with a past "hero" image, who struggles to survive in the face of this national public power conspiracy, which will not be intertwined with the gentle name of "Golden Dreams", but the film cleverly borrows the bondage of friendship, borrowing the adventure of the protagonist who was framed as the prime minister's murderer, so that the film is placed in a nostalgia for past friendships. Its beautiful past life continues to emerge, sublimating a simple and simple feeling, and the golden dreamland is a memory condensed with laughter and tears.
3. "The Tale of the Next Wife" Douban 7.9
Adapted from the novel of the same name by Rose Rose, the film tells the story of two young girls with very different personalities, breaking the differences between the two sides and establishing a true friendship.
The film is about the similarities and contrasts between an extremely romantic-loving teenage girl who lives in the pastoral to the underground wife of Ibaraki Prefecture and a girl who looks like a tyrannical family, and their sincere friendship. I have always been very interested in such a topic, and it turned out to be worse than I could see, and it was more interesting than I thought. Netizens commented that you should not have been thrown in the hard disk for years because of your vulgar cover.
4. "Frances Ha" Douban 8.3
The film mainly tells the story of dancer Frances who strives to pursue her dream of dancing and the friendship between her and her friend Sophie.
Focus on the living conditions encountered by young people who have just stepped into society in the years after graduating from college but are struggling with real difficulties. The film is strung together by Frances Ha from the age of 27 to 28 in the New York city life, seemingly carelessly portraying the love, friendship and state of life of the European and American "post-80s" generation, but in fact, in the world of hostility everywhere, polishing the most important essence of life, evoking the resonance of the young generation that is wandering in the city, the ideal flower that still remains in the heart, and still swinging in struggle and reality.
5. "The Eighth Day" Douban 8.4
It is mainly about George, a down syndrome patient, who was abandoned in a nursing home by his sister and brother-in-law after the death of his mother. The most loved person in his life was his mother, who often met her in a trance. By chance, George meets Harry, a bank clerk, a sales lecturer who lives in a boring mechanical world all day, and does not want the two to become friends, Harry re-understands life from George and gradually changes his attitude towards life.
The film was a great success at the box office after its release, but it was a mixed reputation in reviews. Some people think that the film is sincere and touching, and some people think that the film is insulting to people with disabilities. The headline of the first comment in the newspaper was "We will never shake hands with this gentleman". Critics are inappropriate for using people with intellectual disabilities to star in a film, but critics agree on the performances of the two actors in the film, believing that Pascal Duquein's performance is sincere and unforgettable.
6. "Untouchable" Douban 9.1
The film is based on a true story. After a parachute accident, Philip, a wealthy nobleman, was paralyzed in a wheelchair and unable to take care of himself, so he approached the home maid, a young black man, Dreys. This is a young man from the suburbs, fresh out of prison. Simply put, this is the most suitable candidate for the job. The two worlds collided and merged, and an incredible, wonderful friendship was born.
The possibility of the intersection of the fate of the two rich whites living in high society and the release of black people struggling at the bottom of society after completing their sentences is as the movie's name suggests, "Untouchable", but it is this story that is absurd at first glance but based on real events, giving people a sincere touch in joy, and the fairy tale of the soul mate can be sought.
7. "Summers Town" Douban 7.9
The film tells the story of Ah Tang, an orphan who has just turned 16 years old and escaped from the discipline of social workers, fleeing the difficult middle of England to the colorful London, and is taken in by ponies. The story of the two falling in love with Maria, who came to work in the town from France, embarks on a crazy but unforgettable adventure.
Although the black-and-white treatment in the film is not new to the audience, the story that takes place between a Polish immigrant boy and a Native British boy still makes the audience feel nostalgic and moved through the warmth and beauty of a sincere friendship. The director keenly captures the indifference and fragility between people in modern society, perfectly presents it on the screen in a bland and direct way, and uses color changes to make beauty bloom in the film, giving the audience warmth and hope. Perhaps as chanted in the ending song "It's just a small part of what we lost, but we regained our disappointment".
8. "Walk with Me" Douban 8.9
The story takes place in the Fifties in the Small Town of Oregon, usa, where four heroic teenagers leave town to find the body of a little boy in order to make a splash on radio and television, their families have their own problems, so they find a sense of security and affirmation in each other, they evade the chase of wolfhounds, they are in a dilemma on the iron bridge, they are nearly killed, and they fall into a forest swamp full of vampires. In their search, they learned the value of being principled and respectful of life.
This may be a work of difficult plot to see the ups and downs, but the film has an addictive magic, "Walk with Me" is enough to evoke the memories of childhood in everyone's heart, this direct spiritual strength beyond the country and beyond all the so-called nostalgic background, the story presented by the four boys, giving friendship the most authentic form.
9. "Dear Galileo" Douban 8.1
The film tells the story of two Thai girls who fled to Europe together for different purposes, and in the process of travel, they learned about themselves and realized their lives.
Two lovely Thai girls, one lost love, one fell off the list, hugged each other tightly during bungee jumping, and decided without thinking: to flee to Europe together. There seem to be very few films about friendship, and this one, which interprets friendship so perfectly and incorporates the meaning of travel, is a rare masterpiece.
10. "Mengjia" Douban 7.7
This film tells the story of the five brothers of the Prince Gang breaking into the underworld together, but the death of the boss of the back wall has caused a violent turmoil in the entire gang underworld, and the friendship of the five members of the Prince Gang is also challenged. In a murderous situation, the five brothers are faced with a choice between the underworld and friendship.
If "Cape Seven" is an indelible birthmark in the hearts of Taiwanese people, then "Stern" must be the hot blood that Must Be Sprayed thin and hairy in Taiwan. Its subject matter covers a wide range of areas, from the campus development of a few ignorant teenagers to the ups and downs and changes of a generation of gangsters. Although it is still the trivial and chaotic fragments in the streets and alleys, it supports a huge background behind the story, as if it has the courage of a period drama.
