【Non-movie review】Things change, summer ends.

"Summer Friends Sunny Day" is the only movie to watch in theaters this summer. Somewhat ironically, when this summer-heavy film was released on the mainland, the countdown to the summer vacation started. With an attempt to escape reality and return to midsummer, I took time to watch the film during the preparations for returning to school. It's been a long time since I watched the big screen, and my eyes are struggling with the screen while receiving information. By the time the eyes finally get used to the big screen, the movie is nearing its end. The sea monsters showed their true bodies in the rain, and the train drove into the picture before the cheers were full. With the roar of the green train, the two boys who dreamed of traveling the world together bid farewell. The ending was a bit hasty, like this year's summer vacation disappeared in the rain of late summer and early autumn in the blink of an eye. Watching summer movies in summer is a trivial obsession of mine. When summer is over, all the good and the bad need to come to an end, something is needed to prove that summer is over. So "Summer Friends Sunny Day", a film that is not very good, has a special meaning in my eyes. It is the last node of the summer vacation. And the sea, the town, the summer in Italy, just as the film comes from the director's personal memory, this nostalgic feeling evokes my reminiscence of the present and past summers. In fact, those unforgettable films often leave in my mind not the film itself, but the memories associated with the film. After so many summers, there's only so much I can really remember in the end. In the summer vacation of the first day of the first year of the first year of my grandmother's house watching "The Weird Town" with the electric fan blowing, and the summer vacation of the second year of junior high school watching "Please call me by your name" on the sofa in the early morning, I used it as a spiritual support during the review of the senior high school entrance examination and finally I got my wish to see the graduation season of "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence", and then to watch "Walk With Me" while holding a tablet in the sun, and after watching "Summer Friends Sunny Day" flashed in the sky the high school summer vacation when the rice wife rained at night. There is no season as decisive as summer, when everything is completely cut off after revelry and joy, and there is no room for manoeuvre. So these summer tales of emotion and self-identity all end with a goodbye - at the end of the summer, a friend or a loved one leaves on a bus or train or dies, and the protagonists grow up in this season a lot. These stories wonderfully reflect my own life in reality. There are losses and gains. I can't say how much I have grown, but I have been saying goodbye and changing. (It’s just that compared to Luca, I’m neither borderline nor self-identified.) Watching movies is to escape reality, but also to better face reality. Just like the thousands of stories that happened in summer, beauty will always say goodbye, and summer will not last forever. Fortunately, when everything is over, there are movies that can accompany us to digest those inevitable regrets. Thing

    60/100, the surface is fairly relaxed and pleasant, as well as the gorgeous production that Pixar has insisted on in recent years, but the film's imagination is limited to audio-visual, the rest still maintains the typical drama system, and the touching moments of the critical moment have long been expected. It would be ridiculous to really think about racial harmony or LGBTQ metaphors, but without that association, the film is more mundane. How could Pixar collapse like this.

    Talking about so many rainbow metaphors is actually a gender-reversal version of "The Little Mermaid". It is undoubtedly the simplest story in all Pixar's works (cats and cats are robbing the scene), but the dreamlike Italian summer is really fascinating. The second brush can be directly replaced with the Italian version.
