Too close and too far

Girls in middle and high schools, if they are a little popular, they should worry a lot. There are people who like themselves, and there are also people who like them.

Because of the distance and brilliance, I like a person, but it is not necessarily what I want, and the closest person around me who never abandons her likes her, usually she hopes to be a close friend, comforting her when she is sad but not touching her.

Knowing her most secrets may be the main reason, too familiar. Is this a relationship that is close and far away?

Usually girls tell boys that we are suitable for being friends and not for being lovers. Boys want to go from friends to couples, but they often exceed the expected period of the boy or the girl continues to refuse, which often makes the boy feel hurt and treat the girl from then on Loss of language ability, even deliberately getting close to other girls, in order to save the person I like

But the facts often backfire. It’s not that I’m not good or people who like me. I met twice in the ignorant period. It was only after the precipitation and forgetting of time that the embarrassment between the two was solved. Now they are ordinary friends, but in my heart It’s a little bit evil, I’m relieved to see that you are not as good as I am

Another far and close distance in the play is the mother and son, from the second to the third year of high school. I separated from my first love and left school for a year. The mother went from the angry education at the beginning to the fear of letting go.

The incomprehension at the beginning was too far away from me, but in the end it could only be said that I was afraid that I would be forced to come closer. The transformation of a strong person was really not easy, so in retrospect, I felt sorry for my mother.

The drama depicts the American events in the 1960s, but it is really similar to our post-2000 attitude towards life.

The biggest feeling of watching the whole film is summarized in one sentence

Too close or too far

    Mills can always use a seemingly relaxed narrative method to outline the heart of a specific group, the gay dad in "Beginner", and the women in this film who have been active in the last century, some of them worry about the growth of their sons, Some are depressed because of cancer, and some are confused on the road of sexual groping. Men have become observers here, and sometimes they have to gain strength from women. Will their inner tenacity eventually come to the fore?

    A polyphonic female film where each character has their own story and their own voice.
