A destined lover?

Many years ago, my good friend Wang Qingqing talked about his experience of watching this movie. It was one night. When he saw that it was about to end, when the lights in the dormitory were turned off, he went to sleep beautifully thinking about the sweet ending. The next day, he got up early in the morning and read the rest with joy, only to be depressed all morning. A few days ago in the middle of the night, when I watched it, I was always thinking about the ending, how unsympathetic it would be.

It was only discovered at the end that the ending was in front of you at the beginning, but different clips hide the truth. It is difficult for us to defeat montage.

Fate

caught a glimpse of Fanfan saying "okay" and sent a text message to ask her. On the third morning, Fanfan replied that she had some aesthetic fatigue with romantic love stories like . When I watched it, I also thought of the romantic French film, but I was not sure if it also had many coincidences. Later, I also thought of "Go Left, Go Right", and linking them together in my mind might be a story. A fateful relationship.

But is cruel. It could have been like a perfect circle, or as beautiful as the arctic sun running at low altitude. Fate, or screenwriter, let these disconnect.

The structure

is a tree with branches.

Go down the tree trunk to a certain point, turn to a branch and then come back to this point, and grow like this. It's like "Love is a bitch" without three paragraphs. Its narrative is anti-canonical, but it does not mimic Dutch Taoism or memory fragments that are thousands of miles away from ordinary people. Played a little trick, but it was really likable.

If you don’t have an impression of Medem’s narrative, you can still see Lucia’s lover.

Medem

is now speaking of Spanish directors, and only Almodovar can be seen all over the sky. Bunuel is too far away, and only exists in the memory of some literary and artistic film lovers; I haven't watched Saola, and few people say; Medem has not yet cultivated its junior reputation. Although Lucia's Lover sells pirated discs very happily, it is estimated that not many people remember the name.

There are also some people who have seen Medem’s one and will declare that he is better than Almodovar.

Medem, like many good directors, is not a prolific person. From the 1990s to the present, only three movies have been mentioned more. Before Lucia, the Arctic Circle was his most acclaimed and grossed one. Medham fans who regard the Arctic Circle as their favorite and Medem fans who regard Lucia's lover as their favorite are two camps. The former is more obsessed with the cruelty of youth.

Afterwards,

waiting for Medem’s new film this year, or find the red squirrel disc, or relive the forgotten "Lucia's Lover"?
