It is the last movie I watched in 2020. It is really beautiful to relive the summer waves and beaches in the cold Shenzhen winter. The male protagonist has my favorite curly hair, and the character is the kind of talented scumbag I like. I have to say that he is really charming when he plays the piano and writes songs by the window.
There are three different women in the film, and the epitome of so many of us around us.
One is the empathetic, light-hearted and intelligent Margot. Probably in the male protagonist's point of view, Margot is really not attractive enough. It's not beautiful enough, and it doesn't know how to be seductive. Therefore, seeing Margo who took the initiative to strike up a conversation, he had no impression of seeing her at all. In the face of Margo's several invitations, the male protagonist kept rejecting it. At that time, I felt embarrassed for Margo.
Maybe it's too lonely and boring to go on vacation alone. The male protagonist and Margo slowly began to walk and chat by the sea, sharing their love but not, sharing their own music and so on. However, at the moment, the male protagonist does not value her. Jasper introduced Margo to Suran, saying: "It's just people who occasionally meet and chat at the beach this week. Margot's major has made her very good at getting along with others and understanding Jasper. Jasper is also very relaxed in getting along with Margot because he has no expectations for Margot. So when he was bored and lonely because he couldn't contact Linna for a long time, he tried to start a summer romance with Margot. Yet Margot's self-esteem does not allow herself to be a substitute for others. She refuses to be a summer lover and decides to stay friends with clear boundaries. But in the face of a gesture of favor from a handsome and talented man, it is difficult for her not to be moved. In my opinion, she dutifully recommended Su-ran to him, saying they were a good fit. However, after the male protagonist really befriended Su Lan, she was angry and sad, and lost her temper with the male protagonist. Maybe she felt that she lost to Su Lan's charm, maybe she thought she was special in the heart of the male protagonist, maybe she was afraid that the male protagonist would be completely taken away by Su Lan, she began to let go of her principles and slowly began to Release the signal of love, knowing that he has been entangled with two women, Margot even jokes that he is a substitute.
At the moment, the male protagonist is in a dilemma facing the lovely Su Lan and the goddess Lina. He is hesitant and needs to seek help from Margo. He also likes the irresponsible and stress-free friendship with Margo. So after the other two women showed up, Jasper valued Margo even more.
One is the hot and sultry Su Lan, she is really good at flirting. At first, I thought she was not beautiful, but her every word and every action sent out a signal, and even her principles were just right, no Too open, but not too reserved.
Her personality is also very lively and generous, and it is easy to get along with her. People can't help but be fascinated by her. This kind of girl will never lack men. Her relaxed attitude towards relationships will not put pressure on boys, but boys will not take her seriously. Suran's bluntness is in stark contrast to Jasper's indecision. Jasper is fascinated by Suran's sensuality and enjoys the freedom and pleasure of being with her. Singing, drinking and chatting with Uncle Su Lan's family, it was like a beautiful dream, which made him forget all his troubles, and also made him not want to wake up.
However, Su Lan seemed to treat feelings casually, but she was actually the most sober of the four. Her direct approach to feelings is likable.
One is Jasper's goddess Lena, who is also his original lover, or the lover he thought. Linna showed up late, but she was mentioned all the time. Jasper's mind was full of her, and the reason for his vacation was to see Lina. When he was with Linna, he was completely different from the taciturn and aloof self-control in front of him. Jasper in front of Linna was childish, his posture was low, his eyes were full of her, and his heart was full of joy. He completely put himself aside and only wanted to please Linna. At that moment, I also realized that boys have completely different attitudes towards girls they like. Linna is beautiful and proud. She is the goddess in the eyes of many people, and she is also admired by the stars. In front of Jasper she was willful, unreasonable and unreasonable. She doesn't have Margot's talent and empathy, nor Su Lan's candor and sultry. In my opinion her only virtue is beauty. Not sure if that's why Jasper likes it. Maybe he pursued her because she was a goddess and was sought after by everyone. Maybe love is really unreasonable.
The male protagonist Jasper is cowardly. He made an agreement with three girls at the same time. He could neither tell the truth frankly to the girls nor refuse the agreement frankly and firmly. In the end, I chose to avoid the problem and walk away.
The beach waves on the seaside and the summer wind, three youthful girls, how many people's youth are carried in the story of summer. Many people can find themselves here. For me, I'm probably more like Margot, I get along with a lot of people of the opposite sex in this kind of confidant mode. They have the same interests and hobbies, know how to share and comfort, and can help them analyze and solve their love problems. Probably because I'm not beautiful enough, I don't know how to be seductive, and there are clear boundaries, so they will also position me as a confidant, these are not love. Even in Jasper I can find my own shadow, his cowardice and evasion. Although he was angry and anxious because he couldn't speak bluntly, he secretly cursed this scumbag in his heart. But after thinking about it, if it were, I would choose to escape.
After the screening, the editor and the heroine Margo were connected. After 14 years, the heroine is still beautiful. Hear them share the interesting stories of Rohmer's filmmaking. In order to film the real beach, people on vacation on the beach, they pretended to be shooting a documentary promo. Therefore, the surrounding people are very natural and will not be onlookers. The sound of the surrounding waves, the jokes on the beach, the children's play, everything is a true wish. It makes people immersive and can't help but yearn for the summer beach.
Margot and Jasper strolled along the beach, the woods, and the streets, chatting as they walked, as if these conversations were their natural expressions.
At the end of the credits, Jasper chooses to escape reality, end his vacation, and get out of here. He waved goodbye to Margo on the boat. Everyone on the boat was waving to the shore and the audience. , both happy and frustrating.
I love summer.
