From the very beginning of the laundromat scene, the film was destined to have a brisk, fun pacing.
Good details, including the hole in the laundry bag.
In the blink of an eye, it was the scene where the male protagonist broke up with the female vote, which directly explained the male protagonist's not so bad, or even a bit bad life.
Just like a child, Jesse, who returned to school, enjoyed every bit of it to the fullest. As Jesse said, he reunited with his old love.
Most of the movie accounts for Jesse and Zibi getting to know each other and quickly realizing how compatible they are with each other.
According to the usual thinking, the girl on the cover, the plot of love at first sight, two people, one novel and one dull, are compatible on various topics, I think, this may be the story of two people who love each other across the age distance until they grow old Bar. However, I still think of movies and love too simply. The later reversal left me stunned. It is undeniable that there is a big gap between the two people in terms of reading taste, but reading is an inaccessible field for the male protagonist? . Furthermore, the age gap appears. The female protagonist wants to give her first time to the person she loves and is tempted by. However, the male protagonist's more experiences make him think more about the future of the female protagonist and so on.
This night was a disturbing night. Jesse spends the night with her favorite teacher, Zibi, with a so-called playboy. I have no way of knowing about Zibi's feelings, but I feel distressed all my life.
Peter has been teaching in a remote area from New York for 37 years. He retired and moved away, only to find out how helpless he was when he couldn't go back to school and was replaced by a newcomer.
At the end of the film, Jesse and Anna, who has the same passion for books, accompany each other, tease each other, count their gray heads, and think about getting old.
I feel the same way about Zibi, I like her enthusiasm, generosity, follow my love, stick to a restraint, understand, know what I want, what I like, and a vision and certainty for a better future.
In the end, the growing cells in our body all force us to become butterflies, trusting that everything will be fine.
By the way, the bgm of the movie is really lovely, mixed with classical music, people can't help but get close.

Liberal Arts quotes

  • Jesse Fisher: I think one of the things I loved the most about being here was the feeling that anything was possible. It's just infinite choices ahead of you. You'd get out of school, and anything could happen. And then you do get out, and... life happens, you know'? Decisions get made. And then all those many choices you had in front of you are no longer really there. At a certain point, you just got to go, "Oh, I guess this is new its going down." And there's just something a little depressing about that.

  • Nat: Is your name... Ethan?

    Jesse Fisher: No, why?

    Nat: You look like an Ethan to me.

    Jesse Fisher: My name's not Ethan.

    Nat: How cool would that be, if that was your name and I just, like, knew it?

    [Jesse shrugs]

    Nat: Are you a student here?

    Jesse Fisher: Uh, no, but thank you for thinking that. You?

    Nat: Nah, man. Just here visiting a buddy of mine. It's not a bad place to kill a little time, huh? I'm Nat.

    Jesse Fisher: I'm Jesse.

    Nat: Do you hear that music, Ethan?
