Maybe someone who understands some American literature will resonate more. I watched this movie because of the strong charm of the heroine in the trailer. Several points of high-quality feature films are ticked off: wonderful stories, meaningful lines, delicate performances by actors, and excellent filming expressions that guide the development of the plot. When the story is placed in a TV series, it must be dog-blood, because the details need to be refined to hold up enough length; while in the movie, you can do subtraction, without directly illuminating everything, and using excellent narrative rather than language, you can make the observation The viewer suddenly realized; while in the field of film comparison, the length needs to be supported by the plot, lines, and performances, and the character setting at the beginning of the film perfectly promotes the deepening of the plot step by step and from the surface to the inner exploration. . All the characters are shown at once, and each perform their duties to achieve balance, and then gradually push to the climax, breaking the imbalance and generating various dramatic sparks, but when the water comes to light, it returns to balance again and ends. The plot paving and line design are extremely smooth, comfortable and rich in connotation. What I really feel is not a summary of those feelings that can be written down, but can only be imprinted with the thoughts that I know in my heart. The plot details are the most exciting and memorable of the whole film, not the plot that can be summarized.

    "Five Hundred Days of Summer Love" + "Love in Fire" Qiong Yao-style grafting = "New York's only boy with deranged values" ......... "New York state of mind" is better than "The Only Living Boy in New York" nice, ok?

    I like the tone of this movie, extra points for photography, except that the final recognition of my father is a bit too jumpy
