      I'm sailing, I'm flying...

      The more I know love, the more I love him.

      In the midsummer of '85, I had 36,288,800 seconds to spend with someone I love so much. I remember every good moment at the beginning. The hot bath after the boat capsized, the trembling in the cinema, the night behind the door, the gallop on the motorcycle, I hope I can spend every second of my life with him, but he follows the speed bubble that has never been touched Leave, it's just that our end was earlier than...

      A discussion on the shallow taste of death

      French director François Ojon has not lost his creativity in recent years. Basically, new works appear every year, and the range of themes is astonishing: from the war history story "Franz" to the suspenseful thriller "Double-faced Lover" ", and last year's controversial attack on the religious theme "Thank God", fully...

      "Summer" is not here

      After nearly half a year of industry shutdown, the film finally ushered in a comeback this summer. Movie theaters around the world have resumed work one after another, and fans are celebrating the moment in different ways.

      In France, although theaters resumed operations as early as the end of June, a series of restored classics is more of a flashy event. It was not until the French National Day on July 14 that the theaters ushered in the first...

      Record

      Maybe I love him, I believe I love him. The more I know the word love, the more I love him. Who can know? I always thought I'd feel the love before it came, but the only thing I knew was that I couldn't love him enough. I want to be with him every second of my life, but when I am with him, it's still not enough. I want to look at him, caress him, feel his caress, I think we are together all the time, 3,628,800 seconds.

      You...

      A midsummer that didn't impress me

      I've been looking forward to this film for a long time, because watching the preview is indeed my favorite type, but after watching it, what should I say, it didn't impress me. It can be said that it was far from my expectations, and I was indeed a little disappointed.

      It's also a beautiful tone, and it's a short and happy time. It's the midsummer of the year, and it's a boy who's caught up in it. I thought that this is a movie of the same type as cmbyn, but...

      The film with its own beautiful and lazy atmosphere, there are a few moments of indulging in the seaside town created by Ou Rong in the 1980s, the youthful body in midsummer, and the afterglow of the suspender skirt, which proves that he has not given up on the discussion of gender transition. , love and death, boys and girls, so close and so far. "You and I will have thousands of trips", when I heard this, I wanted to pack up and go with him immediately. But when I saw the tomb jumping, I...

      #TIFF2020 The laughter of youth and the warmth of company offset the jerky and sadness in the movie. 6 weeks, 1008 hours, 60480 minutes, 3628800 seconds, this is the story of that summer that belongs to Alex. The two teenagers in their youth have energetic passions, they play, they kiss, and they leave each other an incomprehensible but profound agreement. Dancing on the grave is his last feeling of David's existence, and he is also making an end to this painful...

    Evaluation action

    In terms of style, the film is a return to the bold and casual spirit of the director's early works. But here, the innocence and almost obvious growth of the story and the characters is not just a response to his young and not so elegant techniques, they are actually part of the tools of a master storyteller, used to seduce adult audiences. Think about how young people experience their lives, and how they deal with and talk about them...
