Four movies, four flavors of sugar

0 1. Heartbeat: Love at first sight, all I see is you.

Do you remember the person you fell in love with at first sight? I hope this movie can help you find your original love and your youth and beauty.

The film is based on children's writers. Fan? The adaptation of Dylan Annan's novel of the same name "Heartbeat Flip". The story focuses on the heroine Julie's "love at first sight" for the man next door, Bryce, and tells the story from the first acquaintance to the baptism of "initial growth" together.

Julie looks sweet, with long chestnut hair and sparkling lake green eyes. At the age of seven, she fell in love with Bryce, his new neighbor, which made him feel very excited. One of his eyes was enough to make Julie's heart go through the hurricane. Since then, Julie has launched a bold and enthusiastic pursuit. Julie will follow Bryce wherever she goes. Even if Bryce avoids her like a plague, she can't escape from her clutches. The differences, contradictions and even estrangements between them add a lot of jokes to the story.

However, after several accidents, Julie began to think about the meaning of love.

Especially the phoenix tree that runs through the whole film and has profound meaning. This is Julie's favorite tree and her "spiritual home". When the buttonwood tree was cut down, Julie cried and asked Bryce to defend the tree with her, but Bryce chickened out. From then on, Julie found that Bryce didn't like him as much as she thought.

Julie's action to defend the buttonwood tree was published in the newspaper. And gradually, Bryce finally noticed Julie's unique charm, and Bryce, who had been avoiding it, began to follow his heart of liking Julie.

In order to save Julie, he and Julie planted a buttonwood tree in the yard together, and they got back together.

The "tree" gave two children a different understanding of themselves. At the same time, it also witnessed the emotional changes and personality growth of Julie and Bryce-

The woman loves blindly until she understands the "sense of boundaries";

Boys have changed from cowardice to men who dare to look straight into their hearts.

The plot is expressed in a soft and quiet way, unconsciously pulling the audience's thoughts back to the student days, when we were shy and ignorant in Seeds of Love.

Some things are different after that age. Since then, we have never done such an irrational thing for anyone. Our youth, impulse and first love only stay at that moment.

The pictures in the film are very beautiful and breathtaking: breeze, weeds, sunset and thick clouds.

This is a high-scoring film about first love and a high-scoring life film about growth, which is worth watching and tasting repeatedly.

02. Summer and Autumn Grove: Learn to be alone, and drive away inner anxiety with quietness.

The film Little Forest shows the heroine's comfortable, unrestrained and isolated life after returning to Komori, a small mountain village where she lived as a child. There is no exciting plot in the whole film, and the slow narrative rhythm tells the pastoral life of the city.

A few years ago, my mother left without saying goodbye, leaving only a letter. Coupled with the busy and noisy city, she could not adapt to this city, so she chose to return to Komori, a mountain village where she lived with her mother when she was a child.

At the beginning of the film, Chengzi rides a bicycle through the field path, accompanied by cheerful background music, full of healing feeling.

Cangshan forest is green, the fields are vast, and it is quiet and pleasant. While deeply intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of the Japanese countryside, the audience seems to really feel the breeze blowing on their faces, the air is sweet and their breathing becomes light.

Every day, Chengzi will carefully prepare three meals for himself. Helpless life honed her independence and tenacity. Even if she is alone, she will not feel lonely, but enjoy the happy time alone with herself. The city has also slowly reshaped its life and meaning in loneliness.

In the shooting technique, the director used flashbacks to recall the scene where Shizi once lived with his mother. Let the audience experience the love of city mothers and their attachment to childhood. Secondly, the close-up shows the cooking process of urban children, allowing the audience to experience the emotion between food and characters at close range. In particular, the split-screen expression compresses the process of cooking food for urban children, takes its essence and enriches the expression of the film.

Different from Heartbeat, this film seldom uses a lot of lens language to describe nature and people, life and meaning. If life lies in movement, then nature lies in quiet growth. In the seemingly silence, a silent revelation is released-all our lives, whether trees or people, let us understand the significance of loneliness in growth.

In the busy life, we all hope that we can "slow down" like city children and feel the beauty everywhere in life with our hearts, even if it is a plant, a flower or a stone. However, it is difficult for us to keep a normal heart in the boundless silence like city children.

This film can magically dilute people's impetuousness and forget people's desires.

I hope that each of us can learn to be alone with ourselves and know how to remain calm, strong and self-disciplined in the long life practice. Don't be afraid of loneliness, there are flowers and stars belonging to you in loneliness.

03. "Summer of Kikujiro": Middle-aged uncle's way of growing up.

Some time ago, Kitano Takeshi made a hot search about the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympic Games. The most domineering uncle in Japan has experienced dropping out of school and crossing the border. Be an actor, director and painter; 7 1 year-old sells clothes and divorced at the age of 72. It seems that his life really explains what he said-"I would rather die than live boring."

As a world-class director, Kitano Takeshi told a story about "forgiveness and self-redemption" for us, or for himself, in the autobiographical film Summer of Mujiro.

The little boy is looking for his mother in the distance. After his idea was known by the couple next door, the kind wife entrusted the man to her husband, hoping that he could bring the little boy to realize his wish. However, the husband is an idle, rude, grumpy and extremely unreliable person-yes, this is Kikujiro played by Kitano Takeshi. As a result, the two began an adventure of accompanying each other and healing each other.

There are many stories that make people laugh along the way-

Because of gambling, Kikujiro lost all the road fares on the first day;

In order to hitch a ride, he pretended to be blind with grandiose acting skills;

Drinking in the street, causing the man to be abducted by a pervert to go to the park;

Grab someone else's wind chimes and give them to Zhengnan;

Stealing corn and watermelon. ......

Of course, there are also scenes that make people cry-

In order to amuse men, Kikujiro came up with a lot of bad ideas and tried his best to play the fool. Just seeing a man laughing is enough;

In the process of guarding the righteous man, Kikujiro's childhood pain was gradually healed. He just watched from a distance as his mother left in a hurry.

When "Summer" by Joe Hisaishi, the god of music, sounded, watermelons, sweet wind chimes, spinning windmills and waves suddenly appeared in front of the audience, allowing everyone to be immersed in their own summer. Even on the hot road, the noisy cicadas make people feel bored, but with support and comfort, summer begins to become comfortable and cool.

Kitano Takeshi once said that Summer of Kikujiro was based on his childhood. At the same time, it is also to commemorate his late father Kitano Jijiro. "Before my father died, I didn't seem to have a decent conversation with him. But in retrospect, he is really a little lonely. " In the film, unifying the images of eldest brother and father with Kikujiro in the film is not only the beautification of Kitano Takeshi's biological father, but also the cure of his childhood.

Japan is a subtle and enlightened nation that is good at small details. Whether it is tea ceremony, cooking, opera or film and television, they are good at understanding the truth with the simplest and ordinary details, and this understanding is not so much a "propaganda" for the public as a "muttering" to the creators. Therefore, Summer of Mujiro is also such a story of "talking to oneself", and at the same time, this kind of "enlightenment" is overlapped in three dimensions, and children can also find an "enlightenment" in ignorance-

No matter what happens, please go forward bravely with a smile and learn to live in peace with yourself and the world.

04. "Summer Future": I like red eyes, I like being confused, and I like being preoccupied.

Chenchen, who is about to take the college entrance examination, accidentally discovered that her parents had secretly divorced. In order to save her family, she deliberately failed the exam for one year. In a white lie, I met the network celebrity Zheng Yuxing by mistake. Some funny things happened in order to lie. Joy, two people also have their own worries. The film contains many elements: unrequited love, rebellion, heat, throbbing, and girls' careful exploration of love. ......

The movie that everyone is eager to see was finally released this summer. A good script is inseparable from a good actor. The full sense of CP in Leo and Zifeng Zhang is really amazing. In the film, they also opened the black mode for "CP"-

"Knowing that those stars are not red, what will they do? They will fall in love, will fire CP…… ... "

Real and specific details and appropriate music make this film unique in youth-

After class, there is always a long queue in the girls' toilet. After each exam, they change seats, peek back in class, and the students' booing in the classroom and playground …

All this makes the audience instantly return to our summer.

At the end of the film, after the midsummer, they witnessed each other's transformation and found their own future.

When they were young, they also made a new interpretation of the "future"-

"What is the future?"

"If the person you like likes you at this moment, then now is the future."

On the road to growth, "we should also accept the fact that people we like don't necessarily like ourselves, and accept the regrets in our youth."

But when it comes to regrets, compared with the above-mentioned movies, Summer Future does have many regrets, such as the lack of pen and ink in some studies, the failure of the college entrance examination, and the hasty ending ... It is also embarrassing to talk about growth, because for some well-known reasons, the emotional direction of the protagonist obviously deviates from the narrative direction that the creator should have. If we want to respond to all emotional orientations, the story structure and the relationship between characters have to be adjusted, but the creator still insists on his own opinion, but the result is that everyone can see it, but he feels uncomfortable.

What is the core of youth film?

When Summer Future came out, everyone said it was a film focusing on the generation after 00.

And this view, I really find it hard to agree.

No matter how many years later, all of us have had fantasies, selflessness and revelry in our youth;

There are grievances and regrets;

Treat each other with sincerity and speak freely;

There is wishful thinking and despair.

No matter what age we were born in, we all rampaged with sharp edges and corners, and despair of our dreams flowed in our hearts. We all learned to grow up because of the pain, constant loss and regret brought by the reality that our ideals hit the rocks.

It was the most innocent time in my life, and it is also a time that I will miss in retrospect.

Like a drop of wine, you can't go back to your youth.

The youth we missed and taken away by time will never come back.

Stumbling forward and regrouping at the same time is growth.

Therefore, these are stories of youth and chapters of growth.

It is not only the core of movies, but also the core of life.

People face all kinds of anxiety every day, such as education, job selection, promotion and salary increase, mortgage and car loan. ...

Most of people's troubles are born in difficulties. Can't move, can't walk away, can't see, can't think clearly, and is uneasy. Full of desire and ambition, after walking around the same place, you will inevitably feel bored or even annoyed, so that you often think about the meaning of life and growth in quiet nights.

"People will have at least one advantage to be proud of, and everything is fine. Find it ... with dreams and goals, efforts will succeed. Don't be fooled by these words. It's good to have nothing. People are born, live and die. This alone is also very powerful. " This is also from Kitano Takeshi.

People's wishes will change, and sometimes we are trapped just because our wishes can't come true. Then why not stop for a while? Success is good, but there is nothing wrong with not being successful.

The important thing is, what you have gained on the road of struggle has made you a little different.

Youth is a hasty book. I hope that no matter how you grow up and get old, you can cherish the background of youth.

Well, the farewell of summer is silent, and a new story is about to begin. I hope you can write your next chapter.

If you are in a deep trough, I hope these movies can bring you some relaxation, strength and some new insights.
