Lena, Margot and Sulian

——I think if there is a name for this coast, it is called youth.
When I saw the second half of this film, I suddenly felt that the strings in my heart were finally plucked by a feather that had fallen quietly from the beginning of the film - yes, Kasbah, that's me, and all the men young image.

Reina
- we all loved Reina so passionately!
Kasbah waited hopelessly, she left without leaving any news, the beginning of everything, the end of everything, the beginning of everything, the end of everything again, it was a chance encounter. Met, set the date for the next date, so this love story began. If you leave, the story ends.
During this long wait, Kasbah began to betray his love. If Lena didn't come back at a certain time, he would go on vacation with Su Lian or Margo to end this long-dry love. But Reina came back, just in time. So Kasbah was lost again.
Yes, if you don't admit that Kasbah is himself, it's hard to feel his resentment towards Reina. It is even easy to say things like "such love, don't you give up?". It is true that the shots on the periphery of this world, Rohmer only recorded these shots, only presented them completely.
Yep, who of us aren't obsessed with Reina? Obsessed with Reina, who can easily hurt us? As if love is like that, the weak are fascinated by the strong. On the coast of youth, there are so many girls, we can't see Su Lian, we can't see Margo, we only see this seemingly "unworthy" Leina that we like.
I still remember Reina's tantrum at Kasbah, the "I" who was on the outside could easily say to give up such a plan, or even make a decision. But the "I" in it is still fascinated by such Reina, and I give her all my tolerance, believing that there is love between us after all.

Margot
watched the film with a friend, and after watching it, he said, "I just want to find someone like Margot."
It was only on an inadvertent occasion that the superficial identity of the waiter completely concealed even a little bit of Margot's inner love. Until we met again and Margo said hello, I followed Kasbah for a moment, who was this? do I know?
It wasn't until Margo's own statement that she was like flowing water that the huge connotation of the waiter's identity was unfolded. I don't want to discuss the gorgeous gimmick of a high degree. The abyss-like love in Margot's heart is revealed - yes, those who have liked us, are they the same? It's hard for you to understand, even I don't know how to understand it, and even when there is no such connotation unfolding, I simply take her as an ordinary waiter-like role that exists in my life as a matter of course.
Margot's endless love was shown to Kasbah this summer. Those walks on the beach, on the paths, on the broken walls, on the rocks, the meticulous care—yes, we all owe such people, though Margo isn’t as lowly premised on purpose as Kasbah. Seek Kasbah's love.
So Margot gave the time. With Kasbah's departure, it's all over. The reason why her boyfriend is coming back is a lie or not, but she has given her feelings a higher meaning than Kasbah - what she wants is love, not emotions mixed with any impurities.
However, I don't think Kasbah can be with Margo. Compared to Margot, Kasbah is her Reina. You can come and go freely. You can run downstairs when you want to find her, and you can make a phone call when you don't want to see her. Kasbah tortured Margo like Reina.
If it was "I", choosing Margo would definitely hurt her the most. Therefore, the only song in the film that is not sung by the actors, the master gave Margot without hesitation. And this is the greatest apology "I" can give. For the first time,

Su Lian didn't do that; she just went to that place, whether she went or not. If I had to choose a girl, I would choose Su Lian.


This is a passionate girl who seems to be unrestrained, as if lust can burn the sky. Even Margot was deeply jealous of her ability to love. The song written for Lena, inspired by Margot, came out of Su Lian's mouth. She sang so full, so full. Even Su Lian's circle approached him so easily, and it seems that the more brilliant playing of the accordion than the guitar can add more blessings to this romantic love.
However, Su Lian is most like the image of the pirate's daughter in the song. The love with her must be a vigorous, vigorous beginning, and if it must end, it will end vigorously. Falling in love with her is too risky.
However, this is the most equal of the three relationships. Both sides must let go of everything for each other, and the past reluctance must be let go. Su Lian kicked her boyfriend, and Kasbah had to choose to leave Reina.
"I have to go to that place, I won't go anywhere else." This is a very serious question. Yes, seriously. She doesn't need cowardly love, and she doesn't need someone who doesn't dare to decide. Yes, it can go a long way between waiting for Kasbah to make a decision and making his own. Two people can deal with the relationship in a way that minimizes the damage, whether they are together or not.
But if so, Su Lian is no longer Su Lian, but Margo who pampers Kasbah. She can't tolerate Kasbah's self-destructive demands for security and attachment to other life elements. If Kasbah did go with Su Lian, then Kasbah's most operational sex act of the summer could happen. Even after being separated, this small selfish desire can be satisfied.
But "I" knew that if "I" chose to go with Su Lian, then I would definitely make a thorough decision. The master's love for Kasbah has never been broken. "I" is not the character to be played with under his camera, but the real "I" that was photographed and placed with unparalleled love.

Conclusion
When the day of travel finally draws near, when Kasbah must make a choice between Reina, Margo and Sulian. Everything came to an abrupt end when I was also preparing to watch the master reveal the answer with disappointment, hope and curiosity. An elusive excuse helps Kasbah escape from it all.
The camera no longer descends from the boat to the pier with Kasbah at the beginning, but stops at the pier and watches Kasbah leave. This shot can't help but make me want to photograph my own thighs. As a result, the name of this lens and the coast gradually became clear. Yes, this is the place of youth that each of us must have had.
Kasbah announced to Margot at the beginning of the summer that he had indeed fabricated Reina's real existence, where he would be looking for a holiday lover; but in the end he left the pier of youth empty-handed. Yes, the hull of time mercilessly takes "me" away from this time that is no longer mine.
In the last shot at the dock, I saw that the master respectfully handed over the right of choice to me, or quietly put it in my hand. If it had been years before I met the "me" in me, I thought maybe I would have tears in my eyes.
