The rhythm of the whole film is very slow at the beginning, but to me, it does not seem boring. The heroine’s solo performance is a great way to continue the development of the plot and reflect the heart of the heroine. bedding. The unique personal charm of the heroine runs through the entire movie. Through the delicate performance, the heroine's loneliness, confusion and pressure at the beginning are expressed to the fullest, until the final plot develops to the climax, the heroine is thorough and presumptuous. With the huge black hole in my heart, I couldn't help feeling at a loss in front of the screen.

Some people feel disgusted and bored with their ordinary life, some people feel tired and hate the prosperous pressure they are in, and some people are willing to enjoy the little things in the ordinary. All of them are in the play. Entangled relative. This is what Qian Zhongshu’s "The Besieged City" describes. People in the city want to go out and people outside the city want to come in, but who can really give up their own life is just a kind of similarity to the relative life. It's nothing more than the same longing as Ye Gonglong, but the longing is not reality after all. The life you want to live and the life that suits you is actually what you are living now. This is your step-by-step choice.

Life is never a picture, as beautiful as you think. The hostess has been obsessed with the youth in her imagination, deaf to the surrounding voices, she is capricious, restless, and rebellious. Although she has the appearance of an adult, she cannot have maturity. Life.

Life cannot be repeated, you always have to learn to grow, no one will wait for you to grow up. It's time to face the future.

I remember chatting with a friend once and talking about when is our best time. My friend said that she wanted to go back to childhood. At that time, she was carefree and free. That was the best time. I said, I don't want to go back to the past. Now is my best time. I am smarter than before, financially independent than before, and can control my life better than before, so now is my best time.

The troubles of growth do not necessarily exist only during adolescence. At any time, there will be pains caused by growth and maturity, between young and adult, between young and adult, how do you deal with it? Growth is instantaneous. In the movie, the high school memories that the heroine has been insisting on are just the fear of the passing of youth and the resistance to maturity. She doesn’t like her own life, envy others’ lives, and wants to choose again, but life can’t choose again. In the final dialogue, she understands that what she has to face is herself, and she should apologize, not just because of her willfulness. The harm of others is also because of harm to self. She shouldn't always hide in her ivory tower to draw nourishment from the past.

The rhythm and length of the film did not bring pressure to the viewing of the film. Through the description of a person's lens for a period of time, we can more experience the growth of adults and reflect on our own lives. Escape cannot solve the problem, the future is still far away, cherish the present, cherish life, and choose the right life.
