If it wasn't for the protagonist who failed one after another from mental derailment to the actual derailment of his wife, but his girlfriend was very careful and angry and sad after pretending to be derailed... could have given four stars. And I personally strongly disagree with the funny claim that this film can be comparable to guessing the train. Although from the point of view of the advantages, the editing at the beginning is very interesting, the whole film structure is also worth noting, and the series of plots of living in different countries, cultural exchanges, and tolerance are handled very well and interestingly, which can not help but make people yearn for it. But the whole film was defeated by what I wrote at the beginning, and in the end it dragged down everything that was not problematic or even some good highlights in an amazing and tragic way. It’s not that I can’t accept the event of “messing” that may be realistic, but I can’t accept it as a film that portrays the theme of growth from chaotic youth to clarification. Positioning, however, seems to have only grown in "this aspect", and has a vague attitude towards how to better deal with feelings. It seems that “study abroad” messing around is understandable, “messing around” is still okay, and you can continue to do it in the future. If the role itself is set like this, it is natural, but when the director expresses his intentions, he also blurs this aspect, which is problematic.
Using sugar-coated cannonballs—the so-called dreams are turned into ideals and turned into reality, and finally a seemingly perfect youth transition ending is packaged: this approach is shameful. Because part of the problem has not been solved, how many modifiers are hidden in it? It seemed that there was a lot of trouble, and after solving the most noticeable one, I immediately began to promote everything's solved and regarded the others as non-existent.
What's more, is the problem really solved? Does the ending really seem so satisfactory? From another perspective, can it also be regarded as the protagonist just retracted into another shell? Has he really grown up? Everything in the future is still confused and uncertain, and the ending can also be regarded as another impulse of youth.
If so, it was just taking a speaker and shouting some slogans that seemed to be uplifting for a while. The core is still hollow after all. But the director didn't seem to realize this by himself. The ending didn't do it deliberately, but just left everything recklessly and happily let the protagonist type on the keyboard happily to continue writing his novel. This ending is not bad, but not good enough.
Train Guessing is a completely different movie. It's just that the theme also chooses the chaos and growth of adolescence, but its expression methods, expression intentions, and performance results are completely different. I can't understand that someone would easily confuse the two films.
I didn't mean to deliberately step on it, but after reading several such strange "comparable" comments, it was really disgusting, and this may be one of the reasons why I am more determined to give this film Samsung.
