Like a river of love, never approached.

1. So far the only film that has been fast-forwarding and still feels pretty good.
2. The heroine’s boyfriend in the film is simply the Henan version of Duan Yihong’s visual sense. The heroine, Takali Lin, is not as sweet as ordinary Japanese actresses, nor does she have big breasts and hips. It is an inexplicable sexy that makes me wait for straight girls. Can't hold it! Especially the amazing glimpse of the cafe at the opening... WOW! Ranked top.1 in the sexy actress rankings in my mind.
3. There are only six scenes in the whole film: in the coffee shop, in the taxi, in the professor's car, in the repair shop, in front of the professor's house, at the professor's house, and no more.
4. A triangular story of a retired old professor at a Japanese assisted dating university who is jealous of his little boyfriend.
5. It turned out to be the work of Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami! Abbas-style assisted dating, and it turned out to be a bland chattering ending. The biggest climax was a broken piece of glass.
6. Among them, the blue sky and white clouds in the front glass of the car are really beautiful. It is said that Abbas really likes to use long lenses and fixed lenses.
7. The master is worthy of being a master. Although aid dating is such a sensual topic, there is no erotic nudity in the whole film. This is already the highest state of "sex": imagination.
8. In the space of a concrete forest like Tokyo, the only thing that can be said in the future is death, and before that there is endless loneliness. In such a society, substitutes are everywhere.
9. Finally a question for everyone: Do you know what books and women have in common?

    The last one was so sudden, it scared me. Use dialogue to lay the plot, the tension and emotion of the story itself is enough. The real space of this film lies outside the film, the story after that and the imagination space for the audience

    There are differences in the aesthetics of the lower level, but the feelings are the same. So, although the form and rhythm are very unusual, in the end, it still made me think a lot, and I was also a little moved. However, because it was so different, I was very bored for a time, and finally almost gave 3 stars. This form feels very good, and makes people jump out of the past thinking. It's a form of imagination and creativity. 1 The identity of the girl has changed, and she has been in the cracks of various roles. 2 We are not sure what the old man really thought and what happened that night. 3 What can be expressed by a simple expression or action, or what can be expressed in a few seconds, needs a long shot in the Abbas film, and needs to be discovered in a longer time. 4 Some kind of subtle relationship or feeling that is indescribable can be seen in the movie. 5 A typed ending in a normal movie, whether happy or pessimistic or so-called open-ended, is absent in this movie. That kind of ending is what the movie should have. The ending of "Like a River in Love" is like life, it may be awkward, uncertain, and there may be no ending
