This is a detailed and interesting love story.
There are three interesting places. One is the mind of the character description. The second is that the contradiction between two people from different worlds finally becomes an opportunity to get together, and the last is the director's style.
Let me talk about the mind of the character description first.
The director succeeded in portraying a very attractive male character, and Asano Tadanobu also made the character of Kenji very fascinating. Using suicide to describe Kenji's loneliness, it can achieve a grandstanding effect after a turning point, and the indifferent tone creates the audience's interest in continuing watching.
Let's talk about the layout of the story.
The protagonist and the heroine have different values, lifestyle habits, and even language. I have seen many stories about bringing these two people together in the past, but most of them are distorted and excessively ideal and romantic. This time the director carefully made a lot of pre-positioning. On the one hand, he pointed out that the two people still have the same points about loneliness in the big difference. At the same time, the most exciting thing is the contradiction, such as Kenji's secludedness and the chaos of Aji's family. Constructing the junction and using it as a basis, step by step shows the progress of the two people's running-in, and slowly makes the audience smile knowingly.
The last is the director's style.
The director did not show fantasy and reality in different tones as usual, and tried to naturally even put fantasy and reality in the same shot. For example, under the same shot, the sister in fantasy walked out of the mirror and re-entered. The mirror returned is the real sister, etc., which gives people a refreshing feeling, and at the same time avoids destroying the taste of the film close to reality and life. In addition, the mid-to-long range of the long lens often allows seemingly insignificant things of certain importance to come in and out naturally, thereby reducing the editing of the lens, making the feeling of "playing" lower, and encouraging the audience to continue carefully. Watch the full movie.
The film is really fresh and eye-catching, and it has the fun in the ordinary. At the same time, the heroes and heroines are all attractive. Together with the first-class art director, I think this film is really elegant and popular, suitable for general Hong Kong audiences. However, due to publicity issues, few people visit the film center to appreciate it. It is indeed a misfortune for Hong Kong movie fans.
