It's been a long time since I saw such a brisk and sweet love sketch. When I look at the whole person, it's like being swept by the warm spring sun, and it's like taking a bite of a sweet and clear cake in the "outside" of a street shop.
Why is it so hilarious? As an atypical rationalist, I can't help but want to summarize some reasons. Because of the invincible beauty of Ireland? There is a certain bonus, the eye-catching and unfamiliar country, the "beautiful distant place", is always a good background for the story. There is infinite imagination space, full of cultural collisions, to satisfy people's freshness. Moreover, Ireland is a place of simplicity and nature, and the temperament of this story advocating the supremacy of love is so compatible. Such a story, of course, does not fit on an urban island surrounded by skyscrapers.
Because of the good looks of the male and female protagonists? Also important. If you change the two, you need electric eyes, no electric eyes, no body, no personality, and actors who have no personality to play, the audience will definitely go a lot. However, this is not the decisive factor, because these two cool girls and cool brothers have not left such a deep impression on the audience before, at least not for me. "Leap Year" began a few minutes ago, and I felt that the hero and heroine were familiar, but I couldn't remember what works I had seen before. It wasn't until I went to search after watching the movie that I exclaimed that Amy Adams was the heroine of "Arrival"? It turns out that Matthew Goode played "Stoke", "Watchmen" and "The Imitation Game"? The reason why the impression is so vague shows that after watching the previous movie, these two actors did not impress me to the point where I had to search for her/him. Or "Leap Year" fulfilled them, at least for me.
So what made this movie? Probably, the most crucial reason is because the creator told a good story. A story that is successful, lighthearted, humorous, super eye-catching, and can meet the psychological needs of the audience.
Anna, an urban woman in the new era, calmly guides the country in the workplace, but has the weaknesses that girls have in life, and emotionally is too conservative and step-by-step, it seems that when you reach a certain age, you should have a "appropriate" relationship (with a girl). A young heart specialist), getting married and having a family (living in a gorgeous high-end residence), I don’t know or dare to ask myself what I really want, and I don’t have the confidence and certainty of what I can get. It seems that everyone can find their own shadow in her to some extent, OK, so that many audiences will have a sense of identity and substitution for the role.
Declan, the young man from this small Irish town, is like a slowly unfolding picture scroll. Let you slowly feel his brilliance and charm. There is no taxi in this town at all. He didn't say it directly, but gave a phone card, and then answered the phone in the back kitchen; drove a small broken car When encountering a herd of cattle, he slowly took out an apple and nibbled it on the side of the road; several times he saw the heroine dragging "Louis" on the road alone with high heels of several hundred dollars, although with a wry smile on his face, he still followed silently; While waiting at the train station, I asked if I would like to go to the castle, one of the top ten monuments in Ireland. Then he narrated a romantic legend; at the station clerk and his wife’s house, he and Anna sang a strange surname, and even the random nickname was so sweet; at the bus stop, I stared at the bus leaving His tall and long back, captured Anna's approaching footsteps with a sly and joyful micro-expression... Getting along bit by bit, Anna gained a basket full of his advantages - cold on the outside, hot on the inside, soft-hearted, full of fun, and good-natured. There is a bottom line for insight and responsibility, progressive and lazy, optimistic and melancholy. (On the contrary, the drunk Anna was a bit deliberate in analyzing the part where he looked like a lion)
The appearance of this male character tailored for Anna and most urban women, how can it not be admired.
The cultural differences and identity differences of the two people also make this love more interesting and chewable. A fast-paced, independent American woman who can be said to be very demanding in life, an Irish town boss who lives peacefully and goes with the flow, their collisions, confrontations, and bickering make the movie full of fun, resulting in "Give a name to the box" Such a funny joke has produced a classic picture of talking to oneself and driving cattle on a small road and watching a play next to him in a hurry. The three lovely old men in Declan's store who can never figure out the numbers of the year and week also endorsed the difference in an exaggerated and witty way. In love, it seems that the greater the difference, the greater the attraction. Lolita loves uncles, ladies chase prodigal sons, and even the people in "He's a Dragon" that cross species love dragons. Love sketches often only tell about "Once owned", as for whether it can be "forever", don't care.
An ideal to almost unreal object, an encounter that combines the right place, the right place and the people (the world is so big, but it flies thousands of kilometers, the plane is replaced by a boat, and one foot of sea water and one foot of sand come to you), a A happy ending for everyone. It has fulfilled the sweet dreams that many people cannot fulfill.
"Leap Year", a piece of cake to find out your stomach and mind, filling, refreshing, and bright mood.
