After the protagonist went off the track and broke up with the heroine, the series of campus romance comedy "The Kissing Booth 2" starring the two of them still met with the audience smoothly. The success of the first episode is based on men and women. The protagonist's sparkling sweet interaction, even if the sequel gives up either side, it is difficult to continue the series brand. Perhaps it is because I feel the unbearable and cliche of the plot and character setting of the first episode, and the freshness that shines in the second episode. The screenwriter boldly abandons the rotten campus life and the big selling point of meat selling in the first episode, and constructs a fresh youth. When men and women fall in love, whether they should confess and how to balance the troubles of friendship and love are the values that a qualified school love movie should have.
"Kissing Station 2" continues the plot of the first episode. In the third semester of high school, Ai Er's goal is to enter the ideal university hand in hand with her friend Li. At the same time, she violated the agreement of her friend and secretly enrolled in Harvard University. With her boyfriend Noah heading to Harvard, Aire must bear the suspicion and miss of a long-distance relationship. The handsome face of the new classmate Ma Ke succeeded in becoming a heartthrob in the girl’s mind. Ai Er and Ma Ke developed an ultra-friendship relationship, and I also suspected that Noah and Harvard’s perfect girl had an ulterior secret. Ai Er must Make a choice between the two...
The early part of the film is the same as the first episode. A simple and quick montage consolidates the relationship between Ai Er and Lee’s best friends, and then a large number of campus plots show the corrupt campus life of Americans, while the relationship between Ai Er and Noah is relatively rough. , Especially the reason why Aire stopped short messaging with Noah.
Looking back on it carefully, Ayer looked at Noah’s beauty and figure, and Noah only planned to occupy Ayer because Ayer was the first girl to reject him. The two had nothing in common. , And Marco's success in touching the heartstrings of Ai'er is the biggest reason for his common interest in the dance machine. Unlike Noah's suave, Marco has extraordinary artistic and sports cells, and his gentleness and elegance can also resolve countless young girls. Frequent thoughts, golden sentences, warm Ai'er's heart, relatively mature among the same age, Ai'er and Ma Ke's love to wipe out the fire is reasonable.
The film emphasizes showing people with their true colors. Ai'er recites mechanized answers during interviews, which makes it easy for adults to distinguish Ai'er from the bottom of his heart. Boys and girls entering adolescence love to put on their coats, pretending that they are unpredictable intellectuals, have great visions and visions, and distinguish themselves from other peers. It is not terrible to show people in their true colors, but it is even more terrifying when a lie is exposed.
********************* There are a few spoilers below *************************
Marco has been living calmly, calmly feeling about Ai Er, confused and infatuated Ai Er chose to avoid the matter, neither knowing nor resisting, placing Marco and Noah in an embarrassing position. When asked about his future plans, Marco knew that he only wanted to be happy, without any fancy rhetoric. He first thought about how to live tomorrow before he could imagine his life in five years. Sincerity and down-to-earth are Marco’s greatest strengths. We urgently Need to learn.
In addition to encouraging the hesitant young people to live their lives, the film continues the dilemma of "Friendship and Love" in the previous episode. Ai Er should be promoted to the university chosen by her boyfriend Noah or her friend Li. How does Li balance the relationship between his girlfriend and Ai Er. Noah was studying at Harvard, and Elton became involved in Li and his girlfriend's heartbreaking. Purely Noah did not think about keeping a distance with his friends, ringing the death knell of his girlfriend's misunderstanding. The plot of the dinner party can be described as the "six kingdoms". Whether it's scheduling or dealing with awkward relationships, how to balance friends and lovers is a learning that requires a lifetime of learning.
Compared with the out-of-reality and exaggerated love story in the first episode, "Kissing Xiaozhan 2" is a solid discussion of the growth and love issues that young boys and girls may encounter, which may resonate with the audience. Concerned about the state of the male and female protagonists, if you watch the first episode with the mentality of "Watching the Meat", you may be disappointed. The overall quality of the film is far better than that of the first episode, and the derailed male protagonist is really embarrassed in some of the scenes of having sex with the female protagonist.
