The more precious something is, the more reluctant it is to be used, until it is stale and festering, and it is regretted. People are the same, afraid of loss, afraid that the other party has played youth, failed to live up to love, and will not open their mouths to say "I love you.".
The French film "Two Little Guesses" is indeed like this.
<h1>01 Sophie and Julian, the "madman" gambling love</h1>
The movie begins with the ending, a calcium carbide spark, reinforced concrete. The innocent voice of a little boy opens the movie and the game: Dare you?
Julian and Sophie's encounter is to bury two "demon" seeds in the same flower bed, and they must complete the requirements of the other party's "dare not" game, otherwise, they will concede defeat. But neither the childlike nature nor the nature of pride allowed them to bow their heads.
As a result, the school bus without a driver was driven away, the teacher's class appeared with the word "forbidden", the sister's wedding became a playground for two people, and the physical education teacher was beaten for no reason... Anyway, I'm doing things that I don't dare to think about at the moment.
But when Julian treats Sophie's "Love You" as a game, when Julian treats his "I Love You" as a game, everything has begun to end in destruction. For a year, ten years, when they had lovers for each other, when they had a family, their lives were very stable, and they all became happiness in the eyes of ordinary people, but Julian began to be uneasy in his heart, even shaking.
Because, he began to understand that this was not a game, and his "soul" Sophie was not around, it had been more than ten years!
It was another rainy night, and they finally "confessed" to each other, and finally they were together forever in the game of "burying themselves in concrete"! They all won the game and shared their childhood dreams in concrete—the never-ending love.
<h1>02 Because of love, accompany you to "play" for a lifetime</h1>
Psychologist Adler once said: Lucky people are cured by childhood all their lives, and unfortunate people are cured of childhood all their lives.
In fact, Julian has always lived in the game, and it is Sophie who spends her life playing with him and healing him with love. This may also explain why only 1/5 of the film is childhood, but the title is called "Two Little Guesses"!
While Julian's mother lay quietly on her hospital bed, he played a game of jumping checkers alone:
Jump two blocks at a time and your mother will be fine.
By jumping three blocks at a time, she can go home and spend my birthday with me.
Jump four blocks at a time and she'll be cured and discharged tonight!
But those four grids, he did not succeed. He thought that if he had killed his mother, she would fly into the sky instead of dying.
After Julian's mother died, his father took Sophie to live with him. Because by this time his father had understood that only Sophie, the girl who was willing to play with him, could cover up Julian's pain of losing his mother.
When Julian got married, Sophie told the truth:
You're in big trouble, Julian. Your mother died when you were young, so you can never get rid of the Oedipus complex, you can never kill your father. By 25 you still lose yourself, and from now on life will not be at your disposal!
He even nearly let Sophie get hit by a train, but shouted "Go to hell!" He didn't understand Sophie's sincerity and only saw Sophie as a companion, not a lover. He thinks that Sophie's "love you" is just a game of "dare not", which is why "you are going to get married, but the bride is not me".
It's hard to say that Sophie wasn't curing Julian's childhood. Perhaps it wasn't until the 35-year-old "saw" his mother flying in the sky in front of his mother's grave that he finally understood that this was not a game, but life!
Like a person, from the sunrise to the twilight quadrangle. Love someone, use every accumulated decade to accompany him to "play" life, make him laugh. How much courage does it take?
<h1>03 Not just you, I want a different life</h1>
At the end of the film, the camera returns to the beginning: calcium carbide sparks, reinforced concrete. Sophie and Julian "dare not" for a lifetime, and finally in this romantic way forever together!
When I first watched it, I was puzzled and confused: the story is enough to have ups and downs, why do you have to use this way to prove the eternity of love in the end? I found the answer.
No one can follow the rules in a cookie-cutter life, but also live a colorful life, on the contrary, only the five flavors are left. Julian and Sophie fight God in a special way, seek excitement, find life, and find love!
Of course, the eternity and love they seek are not worthy of our imitation now, and neither morality nor values allow such extreme ways to prove love. However, their fearlessness in the face of authority and their insistence on loving each other are what we need to reflect on!
In addition, I saw that many partners of the bullet screen compared "Heartbeat" and "Two Little Guesses".
I think that one is a pure and beautiful love story, the other is a passionate and heavy game life, we envy the behavior of the former, but too often we are the mentality of the latter!
"Dare not" soul mate, with a lifetime to accompany you to play! Who are your two little guesses?
