Probably because it is the director's debut, the film looks a little bit young and not proficient. But just like those new rock bands, you will see in them or in their music that it is obviously different from those old rockers who have been in the rivers and lakes for many years. It is the kind of hormonal breath that exudes vigor or light. This is precious, because once you are mature, mellow, mature, whatever is mature, there will no longer be anything similar to this kind of breath, which probably means that your adolescence is over. The same is true for this film. Although it is not mature enough, the youthful innocence is fascinating.
As a normal audience, of course I am watching the heroine instead of Cusack in romance films. I didn't believe it when the heroine appeared at first, wondering how the director would choose such an ordinary actor to be the heroine. However, as the plot slowly developed, I saw the alluring taste of the heroine: misty eyes, gentle smile, cute freckles, thin pajamas, bare feet. . She is always showing off what only a girl has. I think the director must love the heroine so much that she can be so beautiful.
Although there is no nudity in the whole film, the two shots in pajamas still arouse my infinite memories. The first is in the back seat of the car where "accidents" happen most often. Cusack's tremor reminds me of my past, because when I was a teenager, I also tremble out of control like him, and the other party too. The same thing is the pajamas; the second shot is at the heroine’s home, which is the so-called classic Cusack holding the tape recorder SB before standing downstairs to play music. I see the heroine tossing and turning on the bed. I don’t know why I am again. Thinking of my ten years ago, it seems that the sexual enlightenment of my teenage years is always closely related to pajamas. . . Then I felt that the director's filming was really good, perfectly showing the restless and depressed mood in front of the camera.
Of course, just like the end of the story, a teenager’s love story always has no ending. We only need to have loved and get hurt.
