You are here, and so am I.
In fact, we have always been.
But we haven't met.
It is often said that happiness is meeting the right person at the right time. But the reality is that time is not something we can choose and control, so how can we properly appear in each other's life. We don't know, therefore, it's never too late to meet. As a romantic comedy, "Meet and Hate" is clearly trying to talk about all aspects of young male and female audiences, trying to make them feel like they are cute and funny. We always think that the time is very long, and that we can slowly sort out our minds. We always thought that that person could wait for me all the time, and only after I reconciled with others and poured out countless frustrations to him, did we realize that the silent companion was the one we were looking for. But the reality is cruel. End-of-life appointments were rare in those days, not to mention now in this era of pleasure-oriented and fast food - although maybe we don't want that. Is it really a man who wants to marry a woman? Why can you get married even if you don't really want it? Maybe it's like Zhen Huan, who loves Qing, but is married to another person. It is easy to fall in love and difficult to stay together. Fortunately, this is not "The Bride is Not Me", although the heroine's smile is a bit Julia-like, but fortunately, there is a lover who eventually becomes a dependent. He loved earlier and deeper than her; she loved later than him... This relationship is doomed to be ups and downs and long. Fortunately, they did not give themselves away easily, and finally contributed to a golden and jade relationship. I like the house where the heroine lives, surrounded by flowers and green grass, the breeding ground of warm fairy tales. I really like the way the male protagonist is speechless when facing the female protagonist. Such a shy and light-hearted man is really rare. I really like the beauty of their naked embrace under the moonlight. Good photos still need to be carefully constructed.
To choose Ashton Kutcher as the protagonist, I have to say that I took a certain risk. From the TV series "The '70s Show" to the present, this dude has always maintained the image of a self-conscious foolish boy. Although he's actually quite shrewd in real life - otherwise he wouldn't have gotten Demi Moore enough to be his mother - his "great land and resources" and overly pale face always make it difficult to relate to "romantic" words are linked. Of course, since South Korea's "Aniu Ge" can find a beautiful savage girlfriend, the American "Silly Dabai" is not without the hope of having an affair. The key depends on how to express romance. Coetzee is good at "playing treasures". In a series of self-mockery performances of body movements, the audience can experience the thrill of being above the characters in the film. Coetzee's character is also embarrassing in this film. If the audience just watches this, it will be satisfied. However, as a film that is meant to be romantic, there are some subtle moments that are more moving, and Coetzee's own temperament makes those moments more funny than moving. Coetzee's temperament seems to be unable to produce enough sparks with Amanda Peet as the heroine. Although the script strives to portray the heroine as a very active and challenging character, of course, it is to match the foolishness and dullness of the hero, but I always feel that something is not right, and many places that should show the heroine's "smartness" seem to be overdone. So much so that it looks a little silly. The structure of the entire story of the film, and even the creation of the atmosphere, is likely to recreate the humorous and lovely taste suitable for young people in the new era. For example, there are many funny-looking lines and subtle warmth. In order to cater to young people People's appetite, the film also added many novel ideas, such as the actor's idea of "selling baby diapers online". In addition, in order to "prove" that the male and female protagonists exist for each other, their long-distance love run lasted for seven years, and a series of coincidences were used in the middle to make the two people have more comedy effects. Such an obvious and deliberate plot may seem unnatural to the old-fashioned, but young people who like excitement think that this is true love. From this point of view, maybe the film has the right target audience.
When we met when we were young, it was just like the story behind the film. There were still many stories and many words that we didn't have time to let each other know. Sometimes a misunderstanding is a lifetime of brushing past.
Seven years, I have seen five faces, each time it is only ten hours or a few hours, but someone does not know when to live in your heart, as long as it is love, it seems that it is never too late... For the first time, with a camera Oliver met Emily who had just broken up, and it was too easy to have sex. Oliver asked Emily why I was out, and she said it was because I was more active than you. The second time was three years later. Emily, who had just been dumped, couldn't find anyone to accompany her to the New Year's countdown party. The phone call left by the bet three years ago reconnected their lives, but after a night of partying, Oliver flew away to start a business, leaving the camera from the first meeting as a gift. Another two years, Emily opened the door, and Oliver, who had lost her love, was sitting at the door. He saw pictures of her full house. Yes, that camera helped her find the way in life, seeking comfort or something, hugging each other naked in the moonlight Another year of separation followed. A year later, Oliver's entrepreneurial project failed. At the age of 30, he lost everything. He saw Emily's photographic works on the streets of Los Angeles by chance, and summoned the courage to sing "I `LL BE THERE FOE YOU" in front of her house. But Emily said I was engaged, and Oliver said it was okay so that I wouldn't regret not confessing to my loved ones when I got old. It was another six months. Emily, before marriage, accidentally found the roll of film left in the camera when they first met. It turned out that before she noticed Oliver, Oliver had already taken her with the camera, so she regretted her marriage, so she called. Check his address, so he ran, so they hugged and kissed. American-style sex is too easy, but it tells such an implicit love story. I like it very much, the fate is very wonderful, but I still have to work hard to fight for it.
When Emily rummaged through the phone book to find Oliver's home number and found the address and drove to see Oliver in a dress, her earlier self-confidence had turned into a total loser, and she decided she had lost. The woman who was defeated in the face of love wanted to pick up her remaining dignity and turned to leave, but she hit the transparent glass with a heavy blow. This blow deeply and painfully imaged the crack in Emily's heart. She fell to the ground so lost for a while. In that brief moment of absence, she must be complaining about herself, laughing at her stupidity, why did she have to come to him when she couldn't turn back now? They have missed 6 years, and they have learned that it is impossible to be together even if they meet the right person at the wrong time, but fortunately, they know how to seize every opportunity for each other and themselves. In this round of love, Emily and Oliver both regarded each other as playmates who could not be sincere, but they didn't know that they were deeply involved in it as early as 6 years ago when they first met. love. Sometimes it does come back. It's a tangled story. The two were tangled and tangled, and finally tangled together in a reincarnation seven years later. With jet-look what you've done suddenly sounded a little trance. Maybe seven years of hesitation, seven years of displacement, seven years of separation and combination, and seven years of dark wounds and illnesses are all fate. But love may never meet sooner. Fortunately, they finally came together. The ending of the movie is still a little touched. Love may not stand the test of time and distance, but there are also so-called small surprises in love~~~ In seven years, five encounters, the story of love is in each other's hearts It kept heating up, and finally Emily waited for her true love, and the passing by intentionally or unintentionally melted in the smiles and tears at the end.
I like the little plots in this movie, it's naturally easy and cute, the silly hairstyle and rustic dress of the hero, the punk dress and cool sadness of the heroine, the gentleman at the New Year's ball, the hero and That rather romantic hug, the funny expressions of the two people in the restaurant, the song that the male protagonist sang with heart while waiting downstairs, after a long period of time, the original feeling is still the same, maybe this is just a visual love that can transcend reality. Regardless of all the unnecessary disturbances, as long as it feels right, we will be together~~ This kind of small love makes people feel warm and happy under the test of time. The plot of the movie is beautiful, and the music of the movie is also wonderful~~ Every song in the movie is very good, especially the song Brighter Than Sunshine at the end, which is very romantic against the black and white photos of the hero and heroine. A Lot Like Love, we meet too early, love may be missed because we met too early, even if there is one person who always says "You'll ruin it". But in the end, the two of them walked happily together. They didn't choose to leave again. Witn a happy ending, no matter how sooner or later they meet, they just need to be together in the end.
What Oliver said to the flight attendant at the airport was really heartbreaking: She lives in Los Angeles and my work is in San Francisio. But it's like, that's just...How can I be there for her
. This is a simple movie, without the ups and downs of the plot, the rhythm is slow and heart-warming.
