It’s not in July to meet July

Miranda•July. I hope to say that I love this cute person so much. Her thinking and vision are a deliberate way of life.
If you have seen her self-directed and self-acted movie "Me And You And Everyone We Know" and you agree with it.
Then you are probably a person who lives by heart.

At the beginning of the film, two figures appear from the back, swearing under the sunset by the sea, without seeing their faces. The faint sense of dialogue is full of warmth. Even if we find out later, that is the artwork played by the heroine M, who herself recorded against the photo. Also find it interesting.
At least I would think that such a person, in addition to longing for love and believing in love, must have his own magical world.

So later in the shoe store, I met the male protagonist as a salesperson, and this kind of active love was born.
When faced with the male protagonist selling shoes, she said to the shoes, "...I have low ankles." The
male protagonist replied: "you think you deserve that pain, but you don't."
If in life, someone would Appear suddenly and inject new ideas and things into your life, let alone convey a subtle sense of care for yourself for what it brings or for that person. Then it must be an occurrence worthy of gratitude and cherishment.
Even if the hostess said later, these shoes are no different from the one written on them, except that they are pink. But from the decoration of her home and the color of her clothes, they are all pink. I think this is a hint, and she does like it.
There is also a very interesting scene behind. She put on new shoes, wrote "you" and "me" on the left and right uppers respectively, and then moved her left and right feet back and forth to close and separate, and staged a chase and evasion.
I love this idea. The relationship between people in life is actually the same, or distance or closeness, but like a person’s two feet, walking together and moving forward together (I didn’t talk about retreat, because I feel that the time together will not be lost. But it increases).
This is the same as the dialogue in which the heroine went to find the hero and the two walked together. It was full of imagination and a sense of pairing. A sense of harmony and willingness to devote time to each other. Then it is a harmonious pairing).
The lines of this movie are full of meaning.

At the same time, like later, the female protagonist sees the male protagonist and the ex-wife having a conversation, and automatically thinks that the two are having a compound conversation. I was sad, and then I said something to my ex-wife with a photo frame that could say "I love you":
"...the next time you need to say "I love you", you can just press the button...but if you're planning on saying "I love you" a lot, you might have to change the batteries. "

Of course the whole movie is not just the story of the male and female protagonists.
I can't finish the plot, but all the characters make people feel full Imagination and love.
Whether it’s shared adventures between friends and lovers, private conversations, mutual integration, understanding and comforting between strangers, and sharing "percussion"...

I think there are two places where the film can best appreciate this theme.
One is, The hostess and the old man saw the goldfish in the car. Not only did they say the eulogy of love. During the last escort, the background music instantly sounded, and then we all watched the goldfish's last time with the protagonist. The feeling of coexistence...it makes people sigh with M’s expressive and infectious power. At the same time, this moment is also very close to her article. The people in the car have the same contribution for a fish."at least they know. At least we're all together on this. "Is it a magical state? At least I was shocked by this strange feeling.
Another scene is at the end, the youngest son of the male protagonist, after having previously wondered about the tinkling sound on the street in the morning and getting an explanation, he finally got the answer on his own, and then enjoyed the setting of the answer at that moment.

Of course, the state of everyone that M wants to share with us also has their own ingenuity. It is like throwing a cardboard box after moving. The younger son is kicking the box and learning from the box and saying don’t kick me; the father’s father The paintings about the birds left behind have a good place for them in the tree.

I don't think M is crazy, probably, I also like this and think that this is the normal life.

In addition, after the whole film, I can hardly remember the names of the heroes and heroines. I don’t know if you have this feeling after reading it?
Probably, this is all of us.
