Don't be fooled by the cover

This film tells people that as long as it is true love, there is no gender difference, or that the theme of this film is simple and powerful, warm and simple. Jack Johnson's music bears the brunt, ordinary poor young people treat their lives so positively and beautifully, and they are truly moved, which is the most touching force of this rough film. Emotionally overflowing, he is the one I've seen that didn't use the so-called same-sex as a gimmick. In fact, the film is rough, but after watching it, the really full emotion has not faded, because this film has always occupied a moving place in my heart. . The musical environment complements each other. The protagonist is not particularly eye-catching, but he is more realistic. The whole film is not at all hypocritical. Let people see that life is not easy but also see the hope of life. The new life is beautiful and hard working. This is the first evaluation of this film after watching it. Saying it is a literary film is actually not true, but it is interesting that he has the power to move people's hearts of a literary film. He said that its "comrade" plot actually has no cover at all. But it is actually very simple and pure. The director is very smart and knows how to use a topic to integrate into a real life and the "comrade" plot from beginning to end is not exaggerated to the point where the audience is disgusted, but it is also just right to make the protagonist's contradictory, sensible, and tangled heart even more. Powerful analysis. It is not easy to know how to be both eye-catching and truly moving. The core is strong because he is real and unpretentious. 97 minutes depicts the various burdens that young people at the bottom have to bear. Maybe it's lighter in China, but it's completely understandable in the United States. If it is expressed in another way, it may be sinking and the so-called pain of youth, and then it will attract people's attention. However, it is always the waves and the sun, the last smile, and the last seaside interpretation of the whole The precision of the film does not need to be talked about. It is simple, warm, and powerful enough. It may be slightly insufficient, but it is enough to move people's hearts. PS: Such a small film has a simple narrative and is not strong enough to portray the heart. It is true that there are many shortcomings, but it is more impressive and valuable is that there is no such thing. "Comrade" as a gimmick is very helpful. Of course, JJ's soundtrack has played a lot of good roles.
