I watched this movie on a bland winter evening.
All black and white tones, fixed daily perspective shots, and uninhibited soundtracks, each of which can hit the point of Chinese art youth.
But this movie is not as hypocritical as you might think.
I don't remember where I saw the all black and white trailer, I just remember that the poster is black and white superimposed with rose red, I can't see what the people on the poster are doing, it seems to be spinning wildly, it is also like dance.
If it's a book, it's probably divided into chapters.
Chapter 1
An ordinary ballet girl lives with her roommate in an apartment in Brooklyn. Unlike ordinary roommates, she completely ignores her boyfriend for her phone calls, and will be with her various New York friends. Fighting around, smoking the same cigarette as her, telling him we're like gays who don't have sex.
Will fall asleep in the same bed with her, discussing the beauty of the future in my dreams.
Chapter 2 I thought that companionship was far in the future, but you have already decided where to go
She complained about why her roommate kept looking at her phone, and the roommate looked up from the screen and said to her, I found a new house and moved out. So it doesn't matter, so calm.
And just the day before yesterday, in order to continue living with her, she refused her ex-boyfriend's invitation to move in with her.
Luckily she found two new cool artist boy roommates, and the expressions they first met her were like she was a pricey performer.
Chapter 3 Even though we have been together, you left me and drifted away
During this period, she was very happy, so happy that she almost danced on the zebra crossing, but the difference between her and her values had already been revealed. The black and white tones could not see the expressions on people's faces, and she was still very young but had no color and vitality. , just like what others gave her: looks old.
Chapter 4 From now on I can only hear your news from others
When she was still proudly claiming that she was my best friend, she no longer knew her every move, and when someone she didn't know spoke to her, her face was full of embarrassment.
So she remembered the day they met.
Chapter 5 People all over the world have partners, I went to Paris alone and didn't go anywhere
The last one was notified of the two opposite places that would separate the earth from her, but she never dared to tell her where she was. Gradually, we have more and more things that we don't talk about with each other anymore.
I feel that traveling alone must be cool and fun, but when I arrive in the most romantic city in the world, I realize that it is meaningless to go anywhere without a person by my side.
I used to think that there are many friends, all of which have become just a name in your address book.
Chapter 5 I believe in you so naively, but you don't remember your own words, and you don't care
Encountering again, she swears at her fiancé, and going to her room makes her feel as if they are back in time. She started talking to her about her ideals again, and she said that she was going to break up and continue to be with her.
She happily planned where she was going to live, thinking it could still be like the past. In the dark night, only those eyes are shining.
But it seemed that at that moment, the end had already been foreseen.
She didn't know that no one would be so stupid. For her to give up her own life and interests, everything she said after being drunk would become "just talking" in the early morning of the next day.
She doesn't even remember how she ever took care of herself.
And she chose to rush out stupidly, unable to escape that dream.
Chapter 6
Life suddenly got better, and I don't know how it got better. I just know that there was a scene before it got better.
Bare foot.
Maybe this is how everyone is born.
She finally realized it and started from scratch.
Then she came to the day they met.
This movie, to me, is terrifyingly realistic, like looking in a mirror.
You think you're the most important people in each other's lives, but it can never compare to her own life and love.
You see her as an indispensable presence, but she never sees how you are doing.
The subtle and complex emotions among girls should really be learned by the director of "July and An Sheng", instead of only using Mv-style close-ups and hypocritical narration.
In this world, you will always be the purest and the most foolish one, keeping the walking posture of a man, shouting celibacy and walking into undateable loneliness.
Everyone is passing in your life, but you are the only one who can't let go.
When you really let go, life will gradually get better.
Been trying to figure out when the title came out, thinking it was meant to be someone laughing at her or his self-deprecating Frances Haha. It was only after seeing the end that she realized that she had folded her surname in half in order to put her business card in the mailbox column of the new apartment.
In order to fit into this society, you can only have half of yourself.
