Just for that moment of heartbeat

In fact, I have watched this movie several times, and it has been classified into the ranks of niche movies. It is very beautiful and warm. I saw it again today and felt differently, because in the last part of my own heartbeat, I was prompted to write this film review when I saw Bryce planting the plane tree for Julie.

Girls are precocious, so when Julie saw Bryce for the first time, she was sure she liked this bright-eyed boy. Although she was still young at the time, Julie was disappointed again and again in your chasing after me. Seeing her Grasping tightly the big tree she relies on, that is the environment she trusts, she loves its beauty, and it is also the happiness she can get. Because Julie's father told her a truth-the whole is greater than the sum of most.

When the relying tree was about to be cut down, Julie's help could not be exchanged for Bryce's help. The eggs from the chickens she raised in the backyard were thrown into the trash can by Bryce considered unhygienic. Hearing Bryce mocking her disabled uncle in the library made Julie completely disappointed in Bryce. She began to re-examine the boy she had liked for many years, thinking that he was cowardly and unaccountable.

The atmosphere on the table during the Rice dinner was wonderful and embarrassing. Bryce finally knew how much he cared about Julie. It was not until the auction of "Lunch Boy" was not chosen by Julie that Bryce's heart was completely aroused. He wanted Kissing her in front of everyone, she ran away at a loss without opening the door or answering the phone until she saw Bryce dug a hole on her lawn with his father's permission, and found out that he was going to plant a tree for himself. You can see a plane tree at that time by looking at the branches and annual rings. Bryce knows her, understands her. Bryce shook Julie's hand when they cultivated the tree together. He will get her first kiss soon. This is the warmest moment and the most thrilling moment.

When you are between the ages of 12 and 13, you will be confused about many things. You don't know who you are, you don't know what to do next. Having a mentor and guidance is very important at this time. Such a role should usually be a mother or a father. Bryce is lucky. He has a grandfather who tells him in life who he is and what he should be. Julie is also very lucky, she has a family that gives her the right values. She has a strong self-awareness of her own value, and she also knows what she wants. We can see that such a family has given them correct values, and children from other families can also benefit from it and seek their own value.

Under the unequal self-awareness and emotional investment, boys and girls are in a faint competition. This looks a little naive, but it is really clean and pure, but it is the experience of confusion, anger and sadness that the people who came here have so far. The bits and pieces of childhood memories, once again look back, perhaps, to this day, we all need to further understand: who we are.

    I read it three times, and I take it out every year. At first, I thought that the male and female protagonists must be together, why is the male protagonist so awkward, and now, I feel that they are actually together or not. Growth is the most important thing. On impulse, learning to fully understand those people who are important to you is the ability

    Why does this movie get such a high score, I don't understand it, the plot is not very good, and the heroine is not my favorite appearance. But the male protagonist is quite like Xiao Lizi when he was a child. A good kid romance movie, but it shouldn't be that high.

Flipped quotes

  • Juli Baker: [on why she's interested in Bryce] I guess it's something about his eyes... or maybe his smile.

    Richard Baker: Well, what about him?

    Juli Baker: What?

    Richard Baker: You have to look at the whole landscape.

    Juli Baker: What does that mean?

    Richard Baker: A painting is more than the sum of its parts. A cow by itself is just a cow, a meadow by itself is just grass, flowers... and the sun peeking through the trees is just a beam of light, but you put them all together... and it can be magic.

  • Bryce Loski: Flat, glossy, iridescent? What the hell did that mean? And Juli Baker had always just seemed plain to me. Until now.
