"Perfect Date": There is no doubt a bad movie, but I want to find one or two highlights

Recently, after finishing up the movies I watched on Ching Ming Festival, I will continue to introduce you to Netflix's original movies. In the last issue, I talked to you about two Netflix films about veterans. Both films gave me the impression that they were very ordinary. Some people commented that I was too harsh, and I felt disapproving. It’s okay, I’m not writing this to convince you to accept my views, it’s just a personal view.

Netflix’s original movies are actually quite bad. Recently I watched Netflix’s new American youth romance film-"Perfect Date". It really sucks, better than "Robbers" and "Tripartite Borders". The two are still bad.

Talking about the movie "Perfect Date", we need to know the director of the film in advance-Chris Nelson, the director of the 18th line. Basically no one knows. So far, four movies have been made, all of them are on the street. There is no qualified work.

According to Netflix's routine, every movie will have at least one more powerful cast. The director is not well-known, but the male protagonist is somewhat better.

"Perfect Date" actor Noah Centineo (Noah Centineo), haven't you heard of it? It doesn't matter, this young actor was born in 1996. He is a little fresh, American mixed, with Italian and German descent, and looks decent.

His most well-known work is "To All the Boys I Have Loved" in 2018, which is also produced by Campus Love and Netflix. The difference is that the film is actually the story of a girl’s growth. The overall film is very fresh. , Not pretentious, can be regarded as a qualified movie. Netflix will launch a sequel to the film in 2020.

"Perfect Date" seems to be the same. It is about a high school student (Noah Centineo) who accepts female dating services to earn tuition in order to go to Yale University. Among them, he knows a lot of rich girls, but it is a pity that the fakes are true. I was seen through, and finally lost and found my own growth story.

The story of the film is actually very boring. It’s the kind that can be seen at a glance, and the ending is reunion. So if it weren’t for Netflix recommending this film, I would really not have the patience to watch it in order to complain about it. The biggest bright spot is that fortunately, the duration is only one and a half hours, which is not particularly suffering.

The appearance of the hero and heroine is also decent, otherwise the blood loss would be a waste of time.

However, Bingzhu can't let everyone watch it for nothing, so I have distilled one or two highlights of the film.

This movie tells us that, in fact, you don't have to experience many roles and identities, because that doesn't belong to the real you.

Many times, someone always tells us to go to the outside world more, get in touch with some new things, try to do more things that we haven’t done before. This all sounds right. If we do it like that , It’s nothing, there will be many precious memories in life.

But in fact, it may not be very helpful to your personal goals, and it may even become a burden for you sometimes. Of course you would say that it is because of those experiences that you learned to grow and find what you really like.

That's right, if you don't know what you are going to do in the future, there is nothing wrong with digging and discovering things you might like. But if you already understand what you are going to do, you should actually be more focused.

Let me give you an example. A friend of mine, after graduating from university, had not worked for more than a year, he was brainwashed by some jokes, quit his job and traveled, played for about a few months, and then looked for a job again. He was tempted by other things, and now he has to do other things to make money, feeling that he can’t do anything, while other students have focused on their majors for a long time. Achievement.

Life is short and there are too many temptations, so you still have to focus on it. Of course, the focus here is not to let you do only one thing and abandon everything, including the family, but when you decide to do one thing, you must invest in the spirit of concentration to see a little effect.

Just like the male protagonist in the film, even if he finally gets the admission ticket to Yale University, he finds that it is no longer him. If he enters Yale, he will continue to pretend to be himself and be the one that others welcome.

In short, instead of experiencing others, it is better to focus on yourself.
