If you want to catch up with the "popular" bus, you need to have a keen sense of smell. This bus is always sliding on rare, unique, and distinctive tracks, picking up passengers who want to board at each station and driving towards the downtown area. Popular to the peak, to the station. Then fall into a situation of flooding, vulgar, and deserted, and then find a way to return, searching for the almost forgotten "things and things" from the imprints left in the past, reincarnating and reintroducing a new round of fashion.

The film "Leap Year" is favored by fans, especially the ladies and ladies. She won the new "popular" style of mashup. This year, stop at the movies in the field of love. Although the ball of Cinderella and the prince has not ended; the autistic and intelligent otaku is being saved by the kind and brave Nightingale; the carnivorous woman is not afraid of the calmness of the herbivorous man, and the banner is waving the legend of hungry wolves. The flowerbed of love has not lost its delicate and beautiful colors, but it is still not enough to comfort the fans' fast-food entertainment consumption, nor to catch up with the fickle hearts of fans.

This indeterminate, freewheeling "wind" invisibly promotes the casters of the creative industry. Movies serve as a booth for experimental ideas and ideas. The story should be more creative. The method used is not important, but the effect. Even if countless similar and vulgar ideas are stolen, the group is beyond recognition, someone buys it, and it can leave its own name, then it will not be wiped out. Leap Year knows this.

When it comes to love, people don't always say enough. So in the world of light and shadow, love has become an eternal theme. If there is no literary and artistic appeal in a special sense, no matter what kind of love ordeals you experience, the filmmakers will always send the audience a twist of love at the end of the story, allowing people to see the beauty of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

Although the movie "Leap Year" is an adventure romance drama with mediocre qualifications, it is not inferior to dramas with big names, big directors and big productions. Of course there is praise, and there must be depreciation. Take the heroine Anna as an example. The whole drama portrays an independent woman as an infatuated woman who hates to marry an ignorant woman, and adds a false "donkey" charge, dragging a LV suitcase and stepping on high heels of 600 knives over mountains and mountains. , Although it seriously challenged the American feminists' outlook on life and made people sneer, but as far as the whole play is concerned, it did not give people a feeling of aesthetic fatigue, but everything "absurd" turned into a kind of humor, giving people freshness.

February 29, a leap year with an Irish tradition
Borrowing traditional customs and legends, this element mostly appears in sci-fi and thriller films, and is applied to romantic dramas. This combination is very loving and will become a certain trend. For Irish people, February 29, once every four years, is indeed a day full of romance. This day belongs to women, they can propose to the man they have long admired, have another surname and live happily ever after. Of course, on this day, the single handsome guys in Ireland should not go out to hang out, try to stay at home, so as not to put themselves in a dilemma.

In this film, this tradition can be referenced to perfection, and it is all due to the coincidence that cannot be faulted. Anna wants a home and tells her friends and family about getting engaged and getting married, but the cardiologist boyfriend, who is a gold and a gentleman who is too utilitarian, pretends to be confused and avoids their future plans. In addition, her boyfriend is going to Dublin due to work needs, so Anna decides to follow the story of her grandparents and take a risk to fulfill herself. It just so happens that this year is a leap year, the time can be calculated in minutes and seconds, and it happens that the gods are not beautiful, and the interpretation of adventure and romance, the love that "brings branches outside the festival" has become a matter of course.

Language Mashup
Mashup language is different from chorus, it chooses stories and occasions. "Leap Year" does it neatly, and that's what makes it so special. Speaking the same language, differences in accents are also a burden of comedy. From Boston in the United States across the ocean to Ireland, known as the beautiful green kingdom, from the city to the countryside, words such as "Bob (meaning the rich)", "Blackberry (blackberry)" and "Louis Vuitton (LV)" are in the countryman Declan. There are cute and humorous new ideas in their mouths, coupled with the local strong Irish accent, showing a completely Irish style that can transform estrangement into fun. Although it is too exaggerated to ignore the real Irish new countryside, in drama movies, this great love that crosses regional and cultural differences is often written in this way.

But there are also bad combinations. For example, the recent film "How to Train Your Dragon" is good, but there is always a little awkwardness. My friend doesn't like Stuick's Scottish accent to talk to the little Gaga with a heavy Jewish accent. Of course, I don't know much about it, but to native English speakers, the effect is estimated to sound like the north-south we feel. The difference, the father who speaks Cantonese scolding the son who speaks Northeastern dialect, in this movie where the "voice" is infinitely amplified, the feeling may also be infinitely amplified.


The times of love and marriage are
changing, and so should concepts and understandings. When it comes to love and marriage, from men chasing women to women chasing men, from trial marriage to trial of children and divorce, the relationship between people is becoming more and more delicate. a responsibility.
In this play, it can be seen from the last dialogue between Anna and Declan.
Anna's suggestion: "here is my proposal. I propose we not make plans. I propose we give this thing a chance and let it work out how it works out."
Declan's answer is touching: "I don' t want to not make plans with you, I want to make plans with you."
In short, this paragraph makes people feel something. Although compared with the previous scene, the two broke into the church to witness the newlyweds, the touching vows made by the bride were less gorgeous and sweet, but there was a little more aftertaste of happiness.
There is also an inconspicuous dialogue in this play, which is the finishing touch. Declan is right, if a man wants to marry you, he won't wait until you propose, he should have said it earlier. In addition to telling a romantic and warm love story, the biggest feature of this play is its type positioning, which is a rather witty and humorous comedy


.
From the lines to the scene setting, body language, there is a breath of life full of hope. The part of Anna driving the cow was serious, so it really made the audience laugh.

For those who have watched this film, they must be completely intoxicated by the infinitely beautiful scenery and music in the film. Carry a backpack to travel, go to the suburbs and countryside where natural oxygen bars are provided, and go to Dublin, Ireland, which has maintained the original appearance of the city for 400 years, wash your ears with simple and fresh music, and bathe in the time and space of relaxation and entertainment. You don't need to imagine this. You can feel the infinite charm of nature after seeing the flowers and trees, chickens, cattle, vegetables and fruits, villages, seas, castles, cliffs in the footage of "Leap Year".

    Declan: I'm sorry.

    Anna: Well, when my 60 seconds came around, I realized I had everything I ever wanted, but nothing I really needed. And I think that what I need is here. And I came all this way to see if maybe you might think so too. And if you do... Well, I don't really have any plans past that, which is new for me. So, Declan O'Callaghan, and I should probably learn your middle name, here is my proposal. I propose we *not* make plans. I propose we give this thing a chance and let it work out how it works out. So what do you say? Do you want to *not* make plans with me?

    Declan: [confusion becomes amusement, and he walks away]
