I thought about why I did this movie, and finally decided to write an article about it.
First, because it's real enough. We can all understand the sense of history that long-term movies bring to people, the vicissitudes of life and the impermanence of things, but it is easy to go to nothingness and feel that individuals are insignificant and insignificant in it. So for films about people, I prefer to focus on what happens in a day or two. Whether it is describing love or describing life, a day or two is actually enough. This film, using line drawing, unreservedly shows the embarrassment, shyness and curiosity of two men who are almost strangers after a one-night stand. After spending two days and two nights together, one chooses to follow him. The original plan of chasing his dream and leaving the country.
Here comes the second point: loneliness. I remember the first time I heard Baudelaire in class and fell in love with him irresistibly. How wonderful it is to describe the love between two young people who pass by. In an instant, it is so fragile and light, but it has the potential of thunder. In fact, here we will return to the old question: Are people doomed to be lonely? Young people living in the city have all had the experience of returning to an empty apartment after get off work, turning off the lights, opening the window, lighting a cigarette, looking out the window, lonely.
Then the third point is "tragedy". The love of the protagonist in the film is not a big reunion, but a love tragedy. Two people who have just sparked a spark to warm each other, separated for various reasons, and may never meet in this life. Here I have to mention the similar theme movie "Call Me by Your Name", which also ended in tragedy. Almost all the romance films that have left a deep impression on me in the past two years are gay themes, and without exception, they all end in tragedy. Maybe it's because the tragedy is more shocking and unbearable. The last time I had this kind of throbbing was watching the "Before Trilogy", and it was also a man and a woman who met and broke up in one day. I am attracted to such utopian love, it is not mixed with any social factors, we are in our own home, or in a foreign country, we have nothing in our eyes, only love, only each other. Marriage is the end of love? How was the married life of Snow White and the Prince? Who cares? In the face of fiery love, these can be put aside. Can anyone really handle love and everyday life at the same time? How can it be! How can such a sacred thing, such an idealistic thing, be possible.
Finally, back to the film itself, I will only say one thing. When the two went to the cloud and rain together, the camera lens was like an ambiguous finger, lingering across the back of the protagonist, the male body in front of the screen, how real and beautiful, that's enough.
