The movie "First Kiss", released on December 17, 1980, tells the story of a 13-year-old girl, Wicca, who meets different boys during adolescence and meets what she thinks is a hazy love story.
The first kiss, the first kiss with the opposite sex during human development or puberty, is a word with romanticism. Its appearance generally implies the sweet love of boys and girls in adolescence, and it is no exception in the film.
In addition to describing the love process between Wicca and Maffei, the film also tells about the love and hatred between Wicca's parents. The side tells us: the love of a teenager is a heartbeat, and the love of an adult is more of a responsibility.
Below I will combine the content of the film, dismantle different characters, and discuss the inspiration the film has left us.
01 Wicca and Murphy: True love can stand the test
The beauty of our first love lies in the warm encounter and the momentary heartbeat.
Like adolescent girls, Wicca is rebellious and wants the attention of the opposite sex she cares about. When she and her friends pass by the boys, she will slow down to listen to what the boys are discussing. Inviting, but still pretending to be calm, pretending to inadvertently let the boys catch up to invite them.
At the ball, Wicca met Maffei. They danced enthusiastically and blended in spirit. Maffei put the earphone on Wicca's head, and the romantic love music was playing in the earphone, and Wicca was moved.
She thinks she likes Murphy, happy or sad every time because of one of his actions, and she can't wait to grow up and start a family with Murphy and live together forever.
Isn't this a true portrayal of our lives? When I first fell in love, I wanted to be together forever. Once the time is long, various problems will appear, and this process will be a test of each other's love.
A friend told Wicca that she saw Murphy dating other girls, and Wicca was sad. She wanted to believe Murphy and felt very angry at the same time.
When she was on vacation, her great-grandmother took her to where Murphy was. She told Murphy that because he ran away from home, they cuddled together in a small rented room. Shrinking in Muffy's arms.
But, when it was three in the morning, Maffey told Wicca to leave her here alone, that he had to go home, and that there was work to do the next day. Wicca was very sad. She came to see him alone, but he mercilessly put himself in such a place, and the conflict between the two escalated.
Later, Wicca was still very obsessed with Maffei. She may not have realized that at that time, it was not because she liked it, but she unilaterally thought and was unwilling.
On her birthday, she invited Maffey to the birthday party. The two danced and kissed together as before. Suddenly a boy came late. He looked at Maffei, Maffei looked at him, and put his hand up naturally. The lights kept flickering, and like Wicca's beating heart, she was beating.
The love in her youth is more often heart-wrenching, moving, and persistent. Just like Wicca, she thought she loved Maffei, but later she would also be moved for others.
As her great-grandmother said, true love can stand the test, mutual respect and mutual love, mutual trust, not her and Maffei's fragile relationship.
02 Wicca's parents: adult love is more of a responsibility
Wicca's father is a dentist and her mother is a cartoonist. When his father has a mistress, he loves his wife while indulging in the pleasure brought by the mistress.
In order to spend the night with Xiaosan, he gave up his father-in-law's birthday, lied that he had broken his leg, and let the people around him act with him to deceive his wife.
A lie needs to be filled with countless lies.
Seeing that his wife had specially rented equipment for him to make his life easier, he woke up, told his wife the whole thing, and longed for her forgiveness.
Although the wife loves her husband very much in her heart, she can't accept this. She smashed Xiaosan's cosmetics store and proposed separation.
When the two told Wicka about their separation, the husband wanted to tell his daughter the truth, but was stopped by his wife. She didn't want to affect her daughter because of this incident, so she said that because she loved her husband too much, the two decided to keep some distance.
Later, the wife became pregnant and had a second child. Two months later, the husband misunderstood his wife and said unpleasant things. The wife left the scene angrily, and spent the night with Wika's German teacher.
The great-grandmother told Wicca's father that the child was the key to his recovery.
The story of an adult is a bit heavier. It is obvious that he loves each other very much, but he does not hold back from being tempted, and he cannot divorce for the sake of his daughter.
Their love, there is love, but more of a responsibility to the family.
03 Great-grandmother: the moment is important
In this film, the great-grandmother is a bright spot. She is in her 80s, and on the surface she lives a crazy life, but in fact she is more transparent than anyone else.
She encouraged 13-year-old Wicca to face the desires in her heart bravely, told her that the most important thing was to live in the moment, and told her that women should be self-respecting and self-love, not to give themselves away easily, and teach her that true love can stand the test...
She did not regard Wicca as a child, but as a friend to point her in the direction, and for her great-grandmother herself, she valued the present.
She would play music happily, would secretly take pictures of Murphy for Wicca, would immediately decide to take Wicca to see Murphy, would stay up all night waiting for Wicca to come back, would like to gamble and play cards because she liked A child is a wise man.
Epilogue
Some people say that the boy in the last film is inexplicable. In my opinion, the last boy is exactly what the director wants to tell us through the film.
Wicca's love for Maffei is not the only one, it's not love, it's the first obsession with heartbeat. When the last boy appeared, she was relieved, let go of Maffey, and began to have a relationship with another boy who was heartbroken. Same process for Murphy.
The first kiss is not just the first kiss. As long as it is the person you are interested in, the first kiss with him can be regarded as the first kiss. has been given more meaning.
This film has a very strong French romanticism, and at the same time tells us a different view of love.
