The Song of Older Literary Young Women

This film reminds me of a sentence: life is lonely, only you can manage your own life.
And those who seem to be particularly difficult to socialize in the crowd or particularly difficult to talk to, there is a word in the movie: undatable - dating incompetence.
Frances is a critically ill patient with the condition.
However, 27-year-old Frances has one more wish for love that has yet to arrive. She said, the person I want is like this: We were at a noisy party, each and our friends were holding champagne and talking, and suddenly there was a moment when I looked back and saw him, and he happened to look back at me, Our eyes met. I'm not talking about flirting or seductive looks, you know, that kind of heartfelt smile.
I understand, to use a sentence that the ancient Chinese have long described, it is "suddenly looking back, but that person is in the dim light" or "I have a relationship in my heart".
Frances is a lonely girl, 27 years old, the kid who lives with design is so nasty, Frances asks him, do I look older than 27? The boy was a little absent-minded, "27 years old is already very old."
That day, another small partner brought back a blonde girl and said that her face looked older.
Fran was munching on bacon doughnuts and doing nothing for a day, she was frustrated, but it's even more frustrating to do something alone, and it's better to be with everyone, even if it's a little out of place .
For example, everyone was happily talking about the bizarre fuck experience, and when it was her turn, she said, I am more used to calling it "make love" with me.
Like most girls around her, or like us, she has a strong sense of loneliness when she's with her friends.
There is such a clip, she invites a little friend to dinner, this little friend and her are neither a partner, nor the hottest dating relationship nowadays. He was just a friend of a friend, a sustenance for Frances to relieve her loneliness. When it was her turn to pay, Frances, who was rushing to pay, found that there was not enough cash, so the girl ran a few streets to get cash. The three-dollar handling fee and the frustration that followed along the way made the spectators' hearts hurt. The girl who ran back to the tavern with cash tried to leave loneliness far behind, but loneliness followed.
The best thing is young, the stupidest is young, and the most embarrassing thing is young. We are afraid of the world, no matter where we come from, we run when we have the strength, although we can't forget anything.
On that day, her best friend Sophie said she was going to move out. Before that, she rejected her boyfriend's suggestion to live with her because she didn't want to be separated from Sophie, and separated from her boyfriend.
An embarrassing sense of betrayal arises spontaneously, whether it is love or friendship, or the two of them just don't have sex, the one who invests more is always easy to feel like a fool.
What we hold tightly, perhaps people around us think it is not worth mentioning, we are careful, but it is the easiest to slip away from the palm of our hand.
Often in the social field where gongs and chips are intertwined, you will see that everyone is like a duck to water and decent, only oneself is struggling as if walking on thin ice.
Therefore, I think many people can understand the loneliness of Frances, with a little inferiority complex and a psychological loneliness. Lonely caterers always make people look particularly distressed. To put it aside, this is why many people like Wang Shiling, the lonely little fat girl in the Chinese version of "Where Are We Going, Dad" so much.
Not so much pride, I just wish someone could look back at me and smile.
Frances floating in New York is like us floating in big cities and small towns, her dance team doesn't want her, her friends don't want her, her old circles and new circles have forgotten her, she's alone Drinking wine and eating fast food on the streets of Paris, I answered Sophie's phone call and said that I was doing pretty well. Even the Eiffel Tower was so brightly lit. Although traveling alone was free, it was still divided when traveling among the crowd. Embarrassed outside.
This is the story of an older literary girl. The director presents it in black and white, as if paying homage to the French New Wave, giving this rather lifelike detail a strong sense of seclusion. The ending of the story looks perfect, the girl seems to have a new life, everything is not as good as she wants, and after re-choosing, she finds that even if she compromises her life, it is not as bad as she imagined, although she will still take off her high heels and take care of herself on stage. Pick a dance.
Liao Yimei said, love you clumsily like me.
Frances is, living clumsily like her.
