[Every Encounter in the World]
At that time, there was often the fragrance of white orchids in the air. It might not be a flower, but the color of the air was different, and it was different from any time in life. The air at that time was whiter, clearer, and had an inexplicable and unbearable aroma, maybe it was really white orchids, even in winter. At that time, they were 17 years old. Her name is Juni, and she has recently transferred to this high school. The classmates all look very talented. They either have a blast and pretend to be artists, or they are dressed in trench coats and are elegant young people. The same is that they all wear dark jumpers. The faces were unbelievably beautiful, especially the boys, with pointy noses, thin faces, pale skin, and foggy eyes. Among them, Junie with a white sweater and long black straight hair is inconspicuous, but her face is so beautiful, but it seems that she doesn't care much about her beauty, her hair is not well taken care of, and her expression is always It's light, with a bit of natural confusion, even when the teacher makes things difficult for him. The whole English class had a strange atmosphere. Under the sneaking glances, snickers, and gentle gazes of the boys, Junie remained calm, and didn't know what was concealing the calmness.
Fortunately, with his cousin Matthias to take care of, Juni soon made a group of friends, Henry, Otto, Jacob, Mary, Catherine, they are all friendly, and soon their small circle of complex emotional life Revealed to Junie, for example, that Catherine was dating Henry, but had an affair with her cousin; Mary was dating Jacques, but she told her brother Henry that Jacques may have been engaged to Miss Behring, who teaches religious history - Jacques It's an Italian teacher who looks like Edward the vampire, young and handsome, plays well with students, and doesn't mind dating students, several students, students and teachers at the same time. Another key point: they all recognize and appreciate Juni's beauty, the boys joke in private "she's mine, don't make up your mind", Jacob is a photography enthusiast and invited Juni to be his model. In the crowded hallway between classes, Juni stood beside the wall like a beautiful shadow. She looked to the side lightly, without a smile on her face. Noisy crowds came from time to time, but only Juni's silence remained on the negative. .
The first person to formally express his love to Juni was Otto, who is typical of Chen Baiqiang, fresh, clean, and rich. When other boys tried their best to become artists, it was Otto who didn't wear a weird scarf. Stand out from the crowd. Otto stared at Juni silently for a long time. After school, he ran to the corner of the intersection to wait for her, but she was always with her cousin, so he had to say a few words awkwardly. "Your name is very nice" is probably the stupidest in the world. They started chatting up, but the two actually continued to chat about dramas and novels on this topic for a while. Young people, only young people care about these things. Literature and sentences are far from reality and very close to beauty. Later, many people encouraged Otto to confess, and he did, in exchange for Juni's kiss, in the corridor between classes, until the class bell rang.
Was it all because of the kiss that made her late? She didn't know, but she hurriedly broke into the classroom and made her figure stand out. It was an Italian class, she heard a voice calling her to sit down, she sat down beside him in a hurry, it was the young teacher Jacques, the Italian opera started, and around Juni, an ambiguous atmosphere surged, Everyone's eyes are flowing. There are Mary who has a date with Jacques, Catherine who is shrewd, and Jacob who is watching everything quietly. It seems that something is happening. Junie burst into tears for no reason, got up, apologized, and ran out of the classroom. Her notebook was still in place, with a picture of herself in it, which Jacques took away.
[Every night in the world]
The throbbing of two people creates a tacit understanding. First of all, June's attitude towards Otto suddenly became cold that day, which made Otto panic, and began to feel that the previous kiss was "pity" him; Jacques broke up with two women who were dating at the same time. They avoided him as they wrapped their arms around him for a final kiss. This is probably the biggest secret they give each other.
After finding that the photo was missing, Juni found Jacques in a recess, but Jacques denied it, but Juni had a smile on his face, a little shy and a little frivolous. The two entered the classroom one after the other, returning to their identities as teachers and students. Jacques took advantage of the situation and asked Juni behind him to help distribute the materials, and then asked her to read them aloud, and then translate them in French. "Follow the rhythm of your breathing, I sing softly, spring is here, it will come... I am at a loss, but it will be alright, I love you. We know, fly high, fly, and me Flying together, the world is crazy..." While reading, Juni laughed again, Jacques sat quietly in front of the podium, and tried his best to hide the smile—Juni was the protagonist in the whole class.
"She is so beautiful that I don't have the courage to love." Juni came to the coffee shop that everyone frequented alone, and pondered and reminisced about everything related to Jacques. The look and feel are different. Beautiful and dignified women are smiling and greetings, couples are kissing gently, and there is no one else around. The song sings a man's deep love. On the other side, Jacques was talking to his friends about the pain in his heart, "It has not been like this for a long time, the pulse is fast, the heartbeat is fast, and the cheeks are on fire."
Juni and Otto's relationship continues lukewarm, they go to the movies, she puts her head on his shoulder, she candidly confides to him that she's in love with someone, but it's impossible to be with him, So she needs to leave, leave him, forget him, and leave Otto. Obviously, Juni had no love for Otto, so she felt indebted, she gave him a picture book called "Otto", and unbuttoned her coat and shirt in front of him, just in the corner of the campus, she filled herself up Her breasts, her youthful and unadorned body were exposed in the air of the campus, and she buried her chastity and love in the time and space she shared with Jacques.
In Otto's place, his deep love for Juni made him even more dissatisfied. A friend's prying and telling, after knowing everything that Juni and Jacques were brewing in the ambiguous, he walked away frantically, walking in the cold winter air, what he loved, and what she loved, this is not equal, he didn't want to. Facing it again, he stepped heavily on the most cruel land, the campus, the corridor, the beautiful, messy, brewing place of love, where did he leave his body? , the pain is no longer there.
Juni and Jacques obviously didn't even have real contact, but Otto saw too clearly what kind of beauty those burning fires showed, shining in every dark night and flowing in every eye. He was desperate that in this fire, he didn't even count a cent of fuel.
[Every Love in the World]
In the library, Otto once told Juni the story of an art teacher, that thin and beautiful woman who got married and had a daughter very young, and soon lost her husband. At school, she secretly fell in love with the male teacher, both, at the same time, and finally the men found out the truth and both left her. "You can never guess about love, even if we are in love." At the end of the story, Otto ended with these words. Yes, can't figure it out, no real obstacles, no substantive reasons, just struggling in our hearts, we can't even see at a glance what they're struggling with - ethics? responsibility? fear to be hurt? Afraid that love is not enough?
When Juni was indifferent, Otto said "why is my heart broken"; Juni teased his cousin and said, "Do you know what is true? Be nice to Catherine and kiss goodbye girls"; Jacques confided to his friends "I love I fell in love with her, but I don't know what to do, I feel stupid"... What we can be sure of is that, whether a pure-hearted boy or a playboy, facing the "beautiful person" Juni, they all moved their hearts. It is always "love" rather than desire, and has a pure and innocent temperament rarely seen in French films. Contact the director's previous work "Little Love Songs in Paris", two women and one man love threesome, an accidental death, a confusing entanglement, there is still no cause and effect, no right and wrong, "unpredictable love" is the director's constant continuation topic of. Because of love, they are more confused and miserable than happy.
But love also makes people yearn for nobleness in their hearts. Because he finally touched the true and unreserved love, Jacques changed his previous casual and careless style, and Junie also began to have the self-awareness of sacrifice, sacrificing himself and burying himself in order to fulfill the happiness and integrity of the other party. They put their confusion and struggle in their hearts, what they can do is always invisible, and they never use it as a bargaining chip to coerce and gain love. Juni is like this, Jacques is like this, and Otto is like this, but he can't bear all of this, and only chooses to end it with death.
Love makes people vulnerable, especially unpredictable love. Everyone is not born weak, who told them to fall in love accidentally.
Juni seemed to have disappeared. She didn't come to class for three weeks, leaving Jacques anxious in class. Between teacher and student status, Otto's death, and Juni's guilt, the two could only see each other on the other side of the cliff. But the driving energy of love cannot be underestimated. Jacques still went to find Juni and said, "This can't change anything." Juni smiled again, and the two ran freely, crossing the sidewalk, The park and the never-ending traffic were finally no longer imprisoned by Fang Xiaoxiao's campus. He held her hand.
"If you don't love me anymore, I will suffer more. I know we are just two mortals. After all this, we are in love, but how long can we love? If we are like others, how long can our love be fresh? No Eternal love can't be found even in books, so we're only in love for a while, and we can't create miracles." She knew that, she was sober. In the hotel room, Juni spoke frankly about all her past, present, and future concerns. In her eyes, Jacques was just a too handsome playboy. She had no way to be optimistic about her love. Restraining herself into a game, it is precisely because she understands her inner investment that she resists her love and the hurt she needs to face. In the face of such Juni, Jacques' "I won't be sorry for you" seemed so weak.
They didn't make love in the end, they parted lightly, Junie said goodbye later, but never came to see you again. Cousin Matthias told Jacques, who was waiting downstairs, that Juni left and went far away, telling him not to tell Jacques about her, nor to hear from Jacques any more - this is how she defended herself The way of true love: I would rather long for a lifetime than touch it rashly.
