The boy maintains how deep the sea of troubles is

The boy remained troubled. Youth always flows bit by bit between beautiful fantasy and cruel reality, between sweet dreams and nightmares. "Love Diving" (Submarine) is like the memory of youth, it teaches people to smile and feel heartbroken, even if it is not perfect, even if it occasionally pretends to be superficial (whose youth is not?). New director Richard Ayoade has mastered the skills of characterizing and shaping the atmosphere. All the characters are impressive, and the scene design is also very good. The protagonist, Oliver Tate, is so independent that he can't help telling bystanders whether to laugh or cry in the face of his first love, his parents, and even strangers who break into the family. In the humid and gray air, it is full of fluent music, the codes of European movies, and sometimes humorous and sometimes sentimental dialogues. And the beach where hope and loss coexist, and the ocean six miles deep.

Oliver Tate: He wasn't even considered hard until the Watkin twins famously stabbed him in the back with compasses. He said nothing; showed no discomfort as his shirt blossomed with blood poppies. His stoicism reminded me of the brave men who died in the First World War.

Lloyd Tate: Listen, look, i know you think I'm very boring, you know... but once i ripped my vest off in front of a woman, and err... it was very effective actually. It produced a very atavistic response.
