It's not a complicated story, but it strikes your heartstrings between light and shadow. The two most memorable shots are the long shots of Rio and Gabriel on the bicycle after watching the solar eclipse. The scenes that reflect each other are the clips of two people riding bicycles at the end of the film. This time it is Rio Cars. , Gabriel is his eyes, all kinds of sweetness, love and wood? Another shot was that the three of them went home together after school and were teased by the boys in the same class. As a result, Leo slowly slid Gabriel’s arm into Gabriel’s hand, and the two clasped their fingers to move on. I really like the song "There's Too Much Love" by Belle and Sebastian. It's really sweet. The light and shadow are intertwined. The two swing their bodies in rhythm, and love is just beginning to sprout.
The story of youth includes growth, friendship, and ignorant love. The blind Leo is carefully protected by his parents and friend Jiwana, but he wants to be independent. He is eager to be an exchange student and go to a completely unfamiliar environment. He wants to be fast. When he became independent, his parents were always worried about him. Good friend Jiwana is really a very caring sister, but she also failed to understand Leo's thoughts. In Leo's eyes (although he can't see it, but he can feel it), Gabriel is a sunny boy. With Gabriel, he can try many different tastes of life. He went to the scene as a blind person. Movies, watching the stars on the night of a lunar eclipse, drinking strong alcohol for the first time, being kissed for the first time, and even riding a bicycle. Because of his blindness, he showed his thoughts completely on his face. He frowned when he heard Gabriel and other girls together. He talked to Giwana about Gabriel’s chubby smile, which was tangible. Everyone will understand the boy's careful thoughts.
After four years, the three children have grown up a bit. Compared with the 17-minute short film "Love, Holding Hands", this nearly 100-minute film spreads out the original simple plot and adds some more plots. I feel that the short film contains a higher amount of "sugar". Whether it is the part where Leo sniffs Gabriel's clothes or the kiss of Gabriel at the end of the short film, they are more restrained and tender. The movie version is better than spreading the plot, so that the audience can learn more about the psychological activities of a few heroes, and the OST is super nice. Naturally fresh and sweet, it feels different from the passionate samba dance in Brazil in my impression. I am used to watching small fresh youth movies in Taiwan, Japan, and Thailand. How about changing to a cute South American style?
