Meet early

During lunch, Xiao Yuer asked me what I was in a daze. I said I watched a movie last night and I haven't come out yet.
I like simple and relaxing comedies. Xiao Ma used to say that it’s because I don’t have to think about it. The same plot, handsome men and beautiful women, buddies and best friends, from the beginning to the final reunion. But how to impress people in the sameness, this will test the director's skill. A careless, simple and relaxing love comedy may result in a love bible like When Harry Met Sally or Notting Hill.
As a loyal Chick-flick fan group, I understand that superb movies such as Love Actually are unacceptable, and second- and third-rate movies such as 27 Dresses and 50 First Dates are enough to make people happy. I like to watch over and over again those beautiful and false encounters, misunderstandings, alienation, misunderstandings, rush to embrace, and affectionate kisses, and follow them to cross the obstacles arranged by the director, and finally sigh happily. , Put down the heart that was holding it all the way steadily. When I feel that my strong heart is not moving, such love films exercise my romantic nerves to ensure that they are always developed and will not rust.
The film "Meet and Hate Early" is basically the same routine. We can see the shadow of "Two Little No Guess". The relationship between the hero and the protagonist makes me trance again. This is the same routine in "One Day". But there are some new ideas in the old routines.
Encountered five times in seven years. For the first time, the male protagonist was still a stunned green, messy long hair that was horribly ugly; the female protagonist was a punk fan, with big-toed shoes, black nail polish, short hair, and smoking, completely a template of a bad girl. The meeting place was at the airport. Among tens of millions of people, in the wilderness of endless time for thousands of years, there is no early step, no late step, just meet, then, there is nothing to say-don’t talk nonsense, it’s better Hey once in the bathroom on the plane! I think only girls in that style can do such a brilliant and great feat. So "one-off", and then parted ways, each returning to their own trajectory. In real life, even if we have been in love with each other, we may forget each other in this way.
But four years later, on New Year’s Eve, she was in desperate need of a childcare, so she looked through her memory to find the phone book and met. (I think it might be unrealistic to leave it now. In an era without paper phone books, it’s so easy to lose a mobile phone address book. Besides, it’s rare to keep landlines in families in the Celestial Dynasty.) So we met again, and his hair was cut short. Her hair grows long. Before the New Year’s bell struck, she was lost with each other. When the ten numbers were counted down, she was alone in the crowd embracing her, watching her old boyfriend hugging others and hitting each other. At the last moment, he rushed over and copied her waist. Kiss deeply. Fortunately, it is too late.
Then, the guys for career development will leave the city the next day, and the reality pushes each other forward like a billowing torrent. Until two years later, the male protagonist who broke up with his girlfriend traveled through two cities 400 miles away to find the female protagonist to express his thoughts. The two drove together and sang wildly. In the middle of the night, in front of the camera in the national park, they hugged tightly. But life did not continue. After all, they belonged to different worlds, and the distance prevented the plot from continuing to develop, until the actor went bankrupt and returned to his hometown of Los Angeles a year later.
Six years and six months after the encounter, when the male protagonist who bravely plucked up the courage regardless of his so-called life plan sang Bon Jovi's classic downstairs to confess his confession, it was a pity that the female protagonist was already engaged. When the heroine gave up her engagement and rushed towards the heroine, I was so worried that the ending would be like that of "In the Clouds", but after going around, they finally got together.
“Meeting Junchu is like knowing the past.” Maybe it was love at the beginning, but it was separated and combined, seven years of accidental contact, and each other gave warm support when the other party was at a low ebb. They don't talk about love, they are afraid of ruin it. After all A lot like love, what is romance? Romance is destroying friendship and establishing love...
See you early. How well the title translates. There is a poem saying "how to let me meet you in my most beautiful moment", this is a paradox. Sometimes I can't help but hide my face in shame even when I'm alone. Think of how ridiculous I was when I was childish in middle school. When I got up and read the text, I was full of sorrows, always serious and serious. Sometimes I can't help but think again: If I meet that person again now, he will definitely fall in love with me. At that time I was ignorant, immature, not considerate, not cute enough and would not act like a coquettish or shamelessly-I wore a dirt and scum coat, arrogant and rigid and confused about accidents, I was too capricious, too self-respectful, and I did not understand your thoughtfulness and modesty , I don’t understand my lame speech and behavior...
so we just missed it.
If I were as good as today, I would not lose you at that time, but if I had not experienced the frustration, pain and loss you gave, I would not have become as good as I am now. The tenderness and obedientness taught me by pain, I will use it to make another man happy.
At the end of the movie, the woman rushed to see the boy dressed in a nice dress at the wedding, thinking that everything was off, and leaving with tears, the boy caught up with him, smiled and kissed, the wedding was his sister's not his. Fortunately, she finally made it in time. Fortunately, they always meet at the right moment.
Some people say that there is always a time difference between people, either you are early or I am late. Therefore, it is comforting to see the reunion of the hero and heroine. , Turn back and start again. The road we have traveled is the only way to go. When watching Gao Yuanyuan and Daniel Wu in "Single Men and Women", someone once said to me: "If you are the right person, no matter how long or how many twists and turns you have gone through, you will eventually be together. If you are not together in the end, yes. Because he is not the right person.” Maybe only by experiencing the misses again and again, we will have the courage and tenacity that true love requires, and we will also understand that in the time and space of teasing us, no One step early, not one step late, how difficult it is. Only in this way can we understand the meaning and worth of being entrapped and sunken by mud and sand so many times in the undercurrent of reality, and wanting to retreat countless times, but still being unable to take that step.
My dear, all the past, if it’s not love, so is A Lot Like Love.
