Details of success, details of failure

I really like movies full of detailed patterns that remind people of the beautiful textures on wooden furniture

This is a model full of details


It’s from the short film "Love, Holding Hands". I’m not surprised that this remake of the film is not as good as the original.

Compared to short films

The plot is more tortuous, and the characters are fuller and more emotional, and the expression is more natural.

In the movie, Leo’s school classmates teased and laughed at the conflicts and conflicts of the family. The determination and temptation to exchange abroad

It is precisely because of the addition of these elements that Leo has more complex personality characteristics such as inferiority complex that short films do not have, longing for freedom, lack of security, etc.

The teasing and teasing of school classmates made Leo strong in appearance but delicate and sensitive.

The family and Gi take care and protection to adolescent Leo more like a shackle, and he longs for freedom, so he wants to study abroad.

I hope that others will treat him as a normal person, so I quarrel with my parents

Gabriel, who is not accustomed to getting along with blind people, always forgets the fact that Leo can’t see. This makes the relationship between the two warm up rapidly. Leo also keeps growing in the process. Things I will never do

Even the small conversation with grandma made Leo further confirm his true heart

Looking at the line of Leo’s personal growth, the movie definitely throws out several short films.


So why is the score lower?

I feel more lost on the emotional line

Compared with the short film, the relationship between Leo Gabriel and Gi is more complicated but also more real

In the short film, Gi can have different interpretations of whether Leo likes or not, but in the movie, it is obvious that he likes it and the final settlement is a bit abrupt (but it may also be that I love the girls in the TV series and cannot "I love you so much. Why do you?" "Don't love me" "I have done so much for you, why don't you love me" stereotype influence)

Personally, I think the source of the courage for Gabrielai to fall in love with Leo in the short film is that the two had talked about Gabriel and said that he felt that Gi liked Leo Leo was not surprised or other performances, but rather decisively said that it was impossible. This detail was deleted in the movie, which made it never Gabriel, who has confessed courage, suddenly confessed at the end of the film very suddenly (could it be that Gi told Gabriel after knowing the truth? Or finally Gi asked Gabriel to find Leo to give him courage? It is possible but unfortunately there is too little pen and ink in the film)

The most important thing is the most natural and most moving details in the short film. At the end, Leo confessed to Gabriel as the wrong person. The most beautiful plot was cut and replaced by the plain Gabriel suddenly. The confession and the kiss between the two people, the unexpected joy and the artistic conception that makes people smile, there is no one failure, it's a pity


On the whole, is this still a beautiful and excellent film? I prefer to call it a sense of youth

This is the youth that many people desire and dream of

The Way He Looks quotes

  • Giovana: [watching Karina meet Gabriel outside the boys' bathroom] She's such a slut, isn't she? There. She's made her move. She is all friendly, talking to him, playing with her hair. She touched his shoulder, Leo. And his hand! She doesn't even know if he's washed it.

  • Carlos: I was thinking about the exchange program you talked about.

    Leonardo: Really?

    Carlos: Really, but you can't talk while you're shaving.

    Leonardo: Sorry.

    Carlos: I'm trying to understand your desire to go so far away. I think it's natural, especially at your age, to want to see other places, meet new people, make other friends. I think it's normal, but I also think it's very natural to fight with your parents. I was like that, too, but it's too extreme to leave the country to run away from the fights. You know... I'm thinking about talking to your mother about the program, but first I need to understand if you want to go for the right reasons. Do you agree, Leo? Do you agree?

    Leonardo: Can I talk now?
