The movie "Francis Ha" tells the story of Francis, a young literary woman who lives alone in New York. She is not young enough, she is 27 years old. Poor and worried about paying rent every month. Her poverty is not exquisite poverty, but the poverty caused by her nerves. Ms. Ha was tall and stocky, and when she stood with her friend Sophie, it was clear that she had 1. The size of 5 sophies. And this sturdy young woman has a dream of a dancer. Among the slender and slender female dancers, Ms. Ha looked out of place. In this movie, Ms. Ha will shoot wherever she goes. Her footprints range from stages, social gatherings, pubs, subway stations, various apartment residences, to exotic streets. She lives a wandering life and has a warm and impulsive personality. She has moved four times in a year, and her job may not be guaranteed. She even went on a trip that said she would leave. She went to Paris alone to be blown by the cold wind, and successfully owed the trip. debt. Ms. Ha has her own philosophy of life. She said she was too busy to clean up her room, adding that she liked "things that look wrong". In Ms. Ha's opinion, a sister is bigger than the sky. In order to continue living with her friend Sophie, she rejected her boyfriend's proposal to live together, and their half-dead relationship ended. Sophie eventually moved in with another girl. When referring to Sophie in front of others, Ms. Ha never forgets to explain that they are best friends. She said, Sophie and I are the same person, just with different hair colors. She said that people thought that Sophie and I were Lara who didn't have sex. In fact, Sophie and she have distinct personality differences. Compared with Ms. Ha, Sophie is cold and quiet. She wears glasses and looks polite, and others comment that she looks like a person who loves to read. She was attracted by Ms. Ha's enthusiasm, willing to play childish slugging games with her, and willing to laugh with her. However, Sophie always needs a sense of order, and she also maintains her calm personality. She folded the bed every day and often teased that Ms. Ha always had bruises of unknown origin. Once, Sophie smiled and watched the drunk Ms. Ha urinate in an indescribable position in the subway station, and reminded her not to urinate on the third rail, because the third rail was electrified. Sophie has her own life plans, moving house, getting a boyfriend, and getting married. These are all life choices that don't need explanation, so she didn't discuss these with Ms. Ha. For Sophie, 27, love and marriage are more important than friendship. And Ms. Ha was still the one who stood where she was, the big girl who was fascinated by friendship. Sleeping with friends in a blanket, going to the bathroom hand in hand, smoking together on the balcony every day, and chasing each other on the street, these warmth made her slightly addicted. She understands the difference between herself and Sophie, but she is reluctant to accept the fact that Sophie has moved forward. In the movie, Ms. Ha and Sophie had an argument. In the bathroom of the tavern, Ms. Ha shouted out her discomfort to Sophie. Ms Ha accuses Sophie of not valuing their friendship anymore and is too busy dating a man she doesn't love at all. She didn't think Sophie's boyfriend was cute at all. Sophie would tell the man who appeared out of nowhere when she encountered something funny in the future, which made her angry. Sophie refused to communicate with the angry Ha girl, so Ms Ha left the bar angrily. Ms. Ha is possessive towards Sophie, and she also expects to continue to live a daily life with Sophie, and to imagine each other's future together. But Sophie has other plans for her future. She doesn't feel that she is quietly falling in love, moving house, resigning, and getting married is a kind of betrayal and distance for Sophie. Ms. Ha's roommate Ben told Ms. Ha that you and Sophie are both straight daughters, so how can you live together all the time. Ms. Ha's silence is her helplessness. It is difficult for her to accept the alienation of her friends, and she stubbornly adheres to her dancing ideals. When the theater director suggested that she be transferred to be a clerk, she refused, saying that she just wanted to dance and didn't want to do anything else. Ms. Ha insists on ideals, refuses to compromise like reality, and wants a forever close friendship. This seems sincere and stupid, but it is the expectation and collision of many young people who are just entering the society. Later, she accepted the position offered by her own director and did not perform on stage again. Occasionally, before everyone comes, I dance alone on the stage. She had also moved, and stacks of books were piled on the floor of the new room, and the branches were lush outside the window. She sat on the stool, looked at the book in front of her, listened to the wind, and grinned happily. There is a very infectious plot in the movie. Ms. Ha came out of a new friend's house, carrying a backpack and wearing Converse shoes, running happily and quickly on the streets of New York at night. The soundtrack played "Modern Love", singing "I am lying in the rain, but I never wave bye bye, but I try, I try". Hope, vitality, and joy overflow the screen. A young literary and artistic woman who has no money, her closest friends have drifted away, she has little success in her work, her ideals are crumbling, and her life seems to be receding. But when Ms. Ha is on the street When she is running happily, when she is busy with her new job, when she takes off her shoes and dances alone on the stage, her light is so certain. And we will also know that accepting reality is not so awkward. Ms. Ha described a relationship she wanted, idealistic, and moving enough. "When you're with someone, there's that moment where they know you love them and you know they love you." You are in a party, talking to different people, and smiling happily. At this time, you look to the other side of the room, and the eyes of the two people meet. It is not that kind of possessiveness, nor is it That kind of lustful eyes, just because that's the person in your life. It's funny and sad, because life always ends, but this mysterious world appears right in front of you, with so many people there, without warning, and nobody else understands, like people There is another dimension in the universe mentioned, and it is all around us, but we don't notice it. This is the two-person world I want, or life, love. Later, Ms. Ha and Sophie looked at each other and smiled at a party. Sophie's hand was held by her boyfriend. Ms. Ha absentmindedly chatted with the theater director. I hope Ms. Ha will feel happy when they look at each other and smile, At the same time, she will also understand that she and Sophie will never go back. And this loss, or this change, will no longer make her angry enough to beat the wall. This article was first published on the public account: Tang Youying "try".
