That firm and sloppy look about Neil

After watching this movie, it was a whole afternoon of silence. It was a warm winter afternoon in the freshman year. I still remember the feeling that I couldn't tell whether it was warm or sour, and slowly came to my heart. Confused by me, it spreads deep into my heart. Warm, because this is a film that makes me feel cordial. Of course, this has nothing to do with the theme of the film. To say it is cordial is completely selfish for me. It's so fascinating to me, every scene that seems like a sleepy dream, every shot that is intermittently saturated, every complex and confused expression of Neil, every background music that seems to be thinking, oh these make me Like and excited, I have a feeling that I haven't had before, just like reading a novel, I can find another space that belongs to myself behind the lazy words, because I have this imagination space So let me have a warm and warm touch after watching the film, of course, this is also my own imagination.

In the meantime, I still don't know the weight of the tactile feeling of a movie other than the simple images and sounds, the familiar things that entangle in my heart and can't get rid of it. I think it's probably the weight that the so-called movie brings to me. It is stored in the mind like a memory stick. The so-called imprint is the same thing, which makes me think of its shadow when I see other movies of the same type later.

When it comes to that kind of grief, that's what the film itself brings out, not what I imagined.
Probably this is a so-called helpless transition involving the passage of time, from passively facing the world, to being passive to consciously going into society. In the end, even if the injury suffered when I was young, after the dilution of the time machine, before the distance has begun to become distant, the pain of the past is still repeated uninterruptedly. What are those? It is an experience that one cannot let go of. That distant distance that can never go away is always expanding, spreading, spreading in my heart. But in the end, the spread will stop, because the transformation of growth is the best proof and good news.

Some people always grow up with painful experiences~~ and now they are living well. Tolerance is right.
Many struggles come to an end. In the final shot where the film gradually darkens and rises. It seems to be a kind of
faint relief after the pain is resolved.
Even though I didn't see anything, I still felt heavy at the end. It's still painful to this day.
After a year of watching the film, the images of the seductive skin left in the selected memories should be very beautiful.
Look at everything with a firm and desperate look like Neil. Then frankly lost. Facing the lost years calmly, facing the future calmly.
