In narrating this movie, I continue to introduce my own cake theory. First, I will introduce you to the first layer of this cake. In the first layer, the film is a romantic film with a soothing rhythm and a narrative montage (cross montage). Two timelines cross each other to promote the development of the plot, to narrate such a love story, the intersection of these two timelines. It is the stars in the play. Twenty years after the beginning of the movie, the heroine said to her son: "Stars can cross the time interval for people to meet." Then it flashed back to the boy who was down 20 years ago. The first time she dated a girl, she took her to the top of the building to see the stars. The protagonist said such a sentence, "People like stars, and stars can always lead people's way." Here is a metaphor for stars. It is a kind of eternal yearning for love, or a kind of love, which allows the hero and heroine to come together for so long after twenty years. It is also the star of love that makes the hero in prison and accident. After the blow, he can still cheer up and regain hope for life (in the second half of the movie, he returned to the place where he lived before, and saw the adoptive father in prison who had ruined his life, and the child of his old friend. That child is now Living with the male protagonist’s adoptive father, the male protagonist did not hesitate to take away the child. This child actually means a new life and a new life. The main reason why the director wants to add this plot outside the main line is that I want to express a star-like love that is saving and guiding this man who was ruined by life. At the end of the movie, the male protagonist was killed by his adoptive father, and his heart was transplanted to the female protagonist’s son who had a heart attack. Perhaps everyone is sorry for this relationship, but otherwise we said that their love is eternal love like stars. This eternity cannot be physical eternity, so the film here expresses a spiritual eternity. The son here can be understood as a continuation of the mother’s life, and the male protagonist’s heart can also be understood as a spirit. The spirit of the male protagonist transplanted to her son is in her son’s body, so the hero and heroine have completed their spiritual opinions here. Unity, the two spirits and consciousnesses have eternity in a son who represents a new life and new life, just like the stars, although they guide people but can never touch the stars, so they can only be expressed by this unity and blending of consciousness. . Maybe you think this is over, but it’s not like that. The second layer of this cake is described below. In this second layer, I want to tell another story. First, look at the title of this movie. The deeper meaning of the movie "The Best Me" is that a person’s life is the life of a male protagonist. , Let’s start with a little bit of analysis below. He was unfortunately dropped out of school in his teenage years, coupled with the beatings of his adoptive father and family chaos, which made him have a low self-esteem and introverted character. It was the first time he entered him from the beginning. Here, I used pan and panorama to take pictures of his home and gave a close-up of the desktop. This home is very messy. This hints at the terrible life of his teenager and the uncertainty in his heart at this time. He didn’t know what happened afterwards. What will happen to life, his adoptive father slapped him because he did not go to drug trafficking completely interrupted the last touch of emotion between him and adoptive father. When his adoptive father hit the third time, he caught his fist, here It implied that the real appearance of his rebellious spirit paved the way for the plot. He left home in a storm that night. The lightning and heavy rain here implied that his youth was over. The rain washed away his pain and helplessness in the past. But Lightning hinted that his future life will not be smooth and will experience ups and downs. Then came the appearance of the girl. This represents the happy stage of his life after he was a teenager. It is not necessarily the expression of love but also some other pleasant lives. The old man appeared between him and the girl. In my life, I think the old man in this movie represents someone who guides and helps a person in his life, such as his parents and teachers. The film ends the peaceful stage at this point. Then there was a change in his life. He killed his friend by mistake and went to jail. Here, he took care of the storm before. When his life was just on the right track, he was torn apart by fate again. Here, the death of his friend and entering the prison are deeper. It means that some uncertainty in life, such an uncertain disaster or misfortune, will drive you into the abyss, until the last reunion means that after all the troubles in life, you will wait for a bright day. Until the end of the movie, the hero was killed by his adoptive father, The heart transplantation to the heroine's son means that the end of life is death. Why does the plot set her son as a role? It is to express the birth of a new life. One's life experiences ups and downs, happiness, old age, sickness and death, and then a new life is born. After experiencing these setbacks, the male protagonist still did not give up and insisted on being full of confidence in life. Finally, the birth of a new life continues this quality of the male protagonist. It conveys the director's beautiful ideas, this spirit of not being defeated by life. After taking care of the beginning, after the male protagonist exploded in an offshore oil well, the doctor said it was a miracle that you could survive. This miracle also implied his spirit of not giving up good yearning for life. It's like a question that the hero and heroine once argued: Which one is destiny, good or bad, is destiny regardless of good or bad, but you must have the spirit of not bowing to destiny. The following is the third layer, which is the third meaning of the movie. The third layer is truly derived from the second layer. I want to talk about the core idea of this film in detail, that is, the issue of human belief. At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist fell into the sea and drifted in the sea for forty minutes without dying. Here the director used it. The rational montage cuts into a scene of a female protagonist walking in the garden, and this scene continues to appear in the film when the male protagonist dies. In this way, I think the director wants to express the intention of belief. The director materializes the belief into a person or thing that the male lead can't let go. In fact, everyone's goal of living or fighting is because of someone or something. Here, the meaning of belief is pushed to a large audience (audience) to arouse people's resonance. Here I have a bold idea. I still want to start with the shot of the female protagonist walking in the beautiful garden. You can see that this shot uses a warm tone and a fixed lens to shoot, and there is a shot from the top of the head on the light. The light coming down, this light has a shimmering feeling, it appears only when the sun shines through the water to the object. In addition to the correspondences that appear in both places in the film, I can probably judge the director's true intentions. In fact, the film narrates a story that the male protagonist has worked as an offshore oil worker since he came out of prison. His life is not going well and his nostalgia for the past made him have memories after the oil well exploded and fell into the sea. In fact, later Twenty years later, the reunion was all fantasised by the male protagonist, and the interweaving of memories and fantasies formed the narrative structure of the film. In the end, the male protagonist survived because of his reluctance and nostalgia for the female protagonist, so after he was rescued from the sea, the doctor said this was a miracle. In fact, the film is over at the beginning, and the rest is the result of the interweaving of the hero's fantasy and memories. Someone might ask that in the end the male lead died and transplanted the heart to the female lead’s son. Isn’t it a contradiction? Otherwise, in fact, the film here is actually the male lead’s explanation of his own memories. The life in his consciousness is spiritually unified with the heroine as I said on the first floor. So what I want to express is what the director wants to express, and that is the theme of belief. In life we will experience different things, good or bad, that is our destiny. In the ocean of life, we either float or sink to the bottom. What we need is the kind of belief. This belief may come from love, or from friendship or Come with family affection. These are the determinations we persist in this sea of life. Just as the old man in the movie said that he was alive after falling from a warship into the sea and drifting for four hours, he agreed to mention love The faith that love brought him made him survive. The main theme of this movie I used my own insights and analysis methods to analyze the plot and some in-depth connotations. Below I will introduce a few good shots that I think are good, and the meaning they represent. First of all, I will start from the beginning of the movie. When the protagonist was on the top of the building, the director used a fixed lens to shoot a middle shot through the fence on the side of the building. In the picture, the hero and the heroine were sitting there chatting. The director used the frame composition to shoot through this dense and irregular iron frame in order to express the twists and turns of the hero and heroine's future life. This technique has also been used by many directors, and I am more impressed that the same technique has been used in "This Killer Is Not So Cold". Then came the second half of the movie. Twenty years later, the male protagonist and the female protagonist were swimming in the river. The male protagonist lifted the female protagonist to float on the water. The director used the panoramic view to shoot this picture without much design. The reason why I feel that this lens is necessary to come up with it is because it caters to the view of the ocean of life. In fact, the heroine is also a person who drifts in the ocean of life, because the hero’s support makes her still drift on the calm water. The calm water surface here indicates that the heroine's life is relatively stable and peaceful, but the composition on this lens is very monotonous, only her and the male lead who only shows one head, which implies that she is very lonely in her life and the only male lead who missed is just One thought. But it is precisely because of this longing that she persists in drifting in this life, and the camera slowly grows further and further into a long-term perspective, which highlights this sadness. The overall highlight of this film is its narrative method and editing, the use of montage, the main tone color can also be developed and used according to the plot. The shortcoming is that the director's use of the lens is not perfect, and the language and skills of the lens are not enough. If you want to give this film a score of 6 to 7 points.

In fact, the heroine is also a person who drifts in the ocean of life, because the hero’s support makes her still drift on the calm water.

The overall highlight of this movie is its narrative method and editing, and the use of montage. The main tone and color can also be developed and used according to the plot.
