This is a very subjective drama review that is not a drama review.
The title is the only thing that comes to mind when listening to one of my favorite warped windows on Marianne's playlist, like at the end of "call me by your name", Elio says "Oliver Oliver" over and over again on the other end of the phone Usually, it is a murmur, like Schrodinger's cat that always hides secrets, as if he has a lot to say to you, but you don't know where to start, so it really answers the sentence "If you want to talk, stop talking, if you want to talk." rest."
The time line of the play is very long, from the high school of the male and female protagonists to the university is about to graduate, but fortunately it is delicate and true. Naturally makes people think of themselves. Love in my youth is full of ignorance and purity, enthusiasm and contradiction, and this contradiction and careful thinking, coupled with the assistance of the country's education and national conditions, is more humble and defensive; but how beautiful it is, including the big summer sweat We may not experience the same intimacy, but it is possible to squeeze a sip of water and share a piece of ice cream in a cramped bed, and go with a lover in a car without air conditioning on a hot summer day. Park theater, swaying on the hot to hot road, knowing each other's childhood incidentally evaporated with the 38-degree air. Smelly, maybe it stinks badly; fragrant, this is the smell of a lover, because behind her is the precious time she stole after going through all kinds of hardships in the heavy schoolwork and even lying to her parents several times. Because they know, they meet; in addition, they are rare and cherished very much. It is their first love.
Have we experienced parting? At the first crossroads in your life, will you choose to go north or stay in the south. How lucky are Connell and Marianne to be admitted to the same university. Of course, some people will say that they will still be together no matter where they are. This may be undeniable, but at least the convenience of the location has added a catalyst to the closeness of the relationship between the two. Their reunion is also the 4th episode that I think is the most delicate in the whole show. The day after the two met, Marianne couldn't help looking through her mobile phone mailbox. It was exactly how we were waiting for the information of the sweetheart. The most intense part of the whole show is the call including intimacy at the end of this episode and the next episode. It's the restraint of wanting to talk, it's anticipation, dodging, and anxiety, it's the hand that wants to touch and withdraw. This section is really beautiful and natural, whether it is the selection of the camera lens or the performance of the actors.
Of course, the two of them have gone through the ups and downs of splitting and combining because of their own personalities and family defects, and some people in the barrage will inevitably call them male and female, but please gentlemen, in a young love, who is not slow through constant trial and error Slowly recognize the true self; or, the surging hormones and ambiguous hot and humid feelings are the innocence of young people, and no one is young anymore.
This is also the case. In terms of actual encounters, they are really much luckier than many normal people, because more ordinary people are rich in mountains and rivers. What is the other party busy with recently, and secretly hope that the other party will never start a new relationship, but slowly you find that these people no longer know each other, including the one who used to be the closest person, who may one day ask you indifferently when chatting "You didn't sleep so late before." "You never used to swear." So at that moment, you may regret it, why did you not apply to the same university at that time, even if one party had already begged to apply for one in the same city, and you remembered that she said it was okay, we can still take the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed train , even two years later when you invited her to come to your city to watch the concert with the person you liked at the beginning, she also said yes. You must regret it.
But what if you are in a school? Connell has become the Marianne of the past, and Marianne is like a duck to water, designing drawings, leading the community, everyone knows her. But Connell, how about you? Read a book essay scholarship but still afraid of socializing, but is it really that easy to meet, or can you still be close to the former and current Marianne, has she changed? You are also a little hesitant.
Shakespeare's play said: I wasted time, and time wasted me. It is so.
Fortunately, "We'll be okay" at the end really healed a lot of viewers. The show is likely to be over. Let's celebrate it with a flower for the time being. After all, New York is actually not far from Ireland. It's not long, not to mention, the audience of the beautiful dream that has not been completed in reality has to believe that there are literary and artistic works to help us continue. And the Connells may hear more of Marianne's sincere and slightly joking sentence "Thank you for making me work so hard." And to be honest, you may be thankful for your old self. What's more, the hasty parting you had in mind back then, and the rebooking of the ticket was also very cooperative, allowing you to dramatically fulfill your lovely long-cherished wish at the airport. You can see that Marianne is still so kind.
So take the liberty of correcting this sentence: I don't lose time, and time doesn't lose me. After all, no matter what the outcome is, we have given each other unreservedly. And all this, time will remember. Yes we indeed will be okay, and you will always be missed, Marianne.
