In the second hour, I gradually understood Star's liking for Jake.
In the last hour, I felt like Star fell in love with Jake.
To be honest, the movie was over and I was confused.
Adhering to the traditional Chinese thinking, I want to understand Jake's feelings for Star, and I also want to understand the relationship between Krystal and Jake. When I regurgitated the nearly three-hour movie, it suddenly appeared in my mind, “This is a non-God perspective.”
Most of the time we experience the pleasure of watching movies because we have a God perspective, that is, we are not in real life. The super powers you will have. The God's perspective makes the story transparent and complete, while the non-God's perspective makes the story true. The truth may not be what we desire, but the truth is what we can obtain.
From beginning to end, there is only Star's perspective. We only see what Star sees, we only know what Star knows. The confusion in our hearts is also the confusion in Star. There is no need to delve into the truth, the truth is in your heart. Your knowledge completes this story, it is very personal, so it is your story. I think this is what the director is eager to convey.
Rescue bees that accidentally fall into the water, release the tortoises caught, and deliver food to unfamiliar poor children. Remind me of that absurd saying---she smokes, drinks, takes drugs, and is full of swear words, but she is a good girl. A good girl always has a good life. She has been in other people's car three times and met good people twice. The only time she lost was to help her loved ones realize their dreams. The word dream reminds me of the cover of this movie, like the live-action version of the Statue of Liberty, and reminds me of the American dream that people often talk about. When Star made her first money, she shouted to Shino: "I feel I have the world." It was so charming.
During these three hours without God’s perspective, I felt like a long journey, an unreserved love.
I love that young man who sings constantly and is keen to make friends.
I love a rat and a dog that go with the car.
I love Jake's self-defense pistol that only sounds when protecting Star.
I love the free soul who lives by lies and still has innocent dreams.
I love this lingering non-God perspective romance.
If I were Star, I would leave everything behind and get in that noisy car. Its bumpy appearance on the road exudes the brilliance of freedom. Only freedom and love can nourish our souls.
At the end of the film, on the bus that came to pick up the salesmen, Jake was sitting halfway through, with black sunglasses, shaggy beard and expressionless face. No need to explain, I will fall in love with this man, even if he has a past with every girl here, even if every sentence he says is a lie, even if he will abandon me tomorrow. So Star didn't get into the water and plunged out of the water suddenly. There is no need for the truth, the truth has already surfaced.
I just want to remember a love sentence.
STARS FOR STAR.
