Beth said at the beginning, "One of her favorite storybooks is about a little prince who came to this earth from a distant planet and met a pilot who crashed in the desert. The little prince made the pilot understand a lot. , a lot of truths about love, my father always said I was like this little prince, but after I met Adam, I found out that I have always been that pilot."
Adam is an electrical engineer with Asperger's disease, Severely lacking in social skills, the only guide in his life, his father, unfortunately passed away 6 weeks ago. Suddenly, he lived alone, or should be said to have been living alone. Adam was able to cope with it at first, until his neighbor Beth appeared. Beth is a children's writer. She wants to invite Adam to her housewarming party. Facing Beth's warm invitation, Adam seems extremely contradictory. On the one hand, he wants to accept it, but at the same time he is afraid to accept it.
Adam's performance reminded me of Marx in "Mary and Marx" that I watched before. He also has serious social barriers. When faced with sudden enthusiasm, he would appear anxious, flustered and at a loss. Adam showed me a real-life version of Marx. In the face of his broken appointment with Beth, he would not apologize politely or tell a little good-natured lie. He used what he was best at, and the simplest, he created a small starry sky for Beth, and then talked about it. Absolutely explain to Beth that only then will he forget that he is a person, that he is actually the same as everyone else.
At the same time, Beth also had a good impression of this strange but cute man. When she was in a bad mood, Adam would not comfort her, but completely ignored Beth's desire to "be alone", stubborn. Pulling Beth to the park to see the raccoon, although Beth was helpless, she had to accept it with laughter, because these really touched Beth's heart. When Adam lost his job, Beth gave Adam a book titled "How People with Asperger's Disease Find a Job". Adam gave him a kiss in return. I think the first kiss was just the expression of this man who couldn't say "Thank you". The way of gratitude, and the second kiss, is because of love.
The sweetness and noise that followed were completely the routines of ordinary love movies. At the end, Adam and Beth separated from each other, and Beth sent Adam a new book published by himself. The title of the book was "Adam", and the story was told The raccoon family in Central Park, "They're not supposed to belong here, but they live here." Then Adam seemed to have found something, learned something, he thought, maybe what Beth really taught herself was other than how to get along with people , with more or how to love.
It seems that the ending that I imagined echoes the beginning. Beth felt that Adam made her love more rationally, and Adam felt that Beth taught him to love more bravely.
In fact, in this world, everyone is that pilot.
Tom's love in "500 Days with Summer" has a fall in the next season, and what about Adam? Maybe it was Carol who reminded him of Beth and took the initiative to please the girl, hehe.
Perhaps as Beth's father described, for Adam, Beth is more of a maternal role, an indispensable part, but not the other half.
This is the most unromantic love movie I've ever seen. I imagined that the romance between the two did not appear at all. The sentence "I Love You, Beth" was so far-fetched that the bunch of flowers didn't appear at all. However, maybe this is the case. This is not a love movie, but a movie that teaches us about love.
Oh, it turns out that this is a popular science book, not a fairy tale book.
