So Sarah suddenly appeared in Charlie's life like this. Enthusiastic, beautiful transfer student, with experience of living in Africa to share with others, such an excellent person, becoming her deskmate, feels her light, even though his performance is normal, his heart really wants to be close.
Soon, just like some friendships at first sight, they quickly became good friends. Sarah told about her foreign experience in Charlie's home. She imitated Charlie and Charlie's mother who laughed like a screaming woman. Charlie's mother laughed. The mother was deeply trapped in the sorrow of Charlie's father's infidelity, and amused Charlie's mother, which made Charlie like sarah more. The story was warm and beautiful, and it was logical to start to develop according to the same sex as a label in the film.
On xx festival, Sarah called Charlie to say that her mother would not return to China, so Charlie invited her to go to a camp for the festival together. In the camp, the moment Sarah danced like a fairy (reminded me of another person with a similar aura, Lucian Carr) in the lively atmosphere, but only she was shining, and I knew that the fate had begun to be overwhelming.
One night in the camp, Charlie said to Sarah, I really want to kiss you. His eyes were hot, but he seemed to be puzzled by this idea. Sarah smiled and said, I was not ready yet, after finishing speaking, she held Charlie's face and kissed her, and quickly slapped Charlie. Leave Charlie and me caught off guard.
Don't Sarah like Charlie?
I think this is related to the word classmate that Charlie uses when introducing sarah to her friend. Sarah is very hurt, ask her, am I just a classmate in your heart?
At that time, I thought, it should be because of this word. I didn't understand until the story continued to develop that she was not ready.
[Not ready yet, show you my world. The wounds I hide carefully, even I hate myself, and I am more ashamed to show you. 】
Sarah's charm made her win good popularity among her classmates, and it also made Charlie jealous.
While chatting with friends, Sarah talked about hunting with her mother last Christmas. Charlie relentlessly pointed out to her face that you said that your mother didn't accompany you last Christmas. This made Sarah become angry, and the relationship between the two began to crack.
Charlie followed Sarah home, only to overheard that Srarh was lying. Her mother was an alcoholic and there was no such thing as Africa. And her mother was actually the woman Sarah imitated at the beginning, who laughed like a scream. Knowing everything, Charlie forgave Sarah for her lying behavior. She understands that it is not easy for Sarah to blend in with the crowd.
When Sarah mentioned to Charlie's friend Victoria that Charlie had had a relationship with Victoria's boyfriend, Charlie had no intention of hearing it, and the two threatened each other with each other's wounds and eventually separated.
Charlie received revenge from Sarah. On the desks, insulting words can be seen everywhere in the school, and she is always harassed by some phone calls. In the face of all this, Charlie chose to forbear, and tolerate it alone, gradually alienating his original friend.
In physical education class, Charlie has been struggling to run, seeming to want to release the pressure from running during this period of time, breathing faster and faster, more and more broken, until the asthma relapses and falls to the ground. At the end of her fainting, she saw Sarah's face and smiled mockingly.
The day after tomorrow, Sarah knocked on Charlie's door. Her mother hit her after drinking. She had nowhere to go, and no one could say that she had to come to Charlie.
【You know the secrets under my glamorous appearance that others don't know, so I am injured and will only come to you. ]
Charlie again accepted sarah, night, sarah charlie stay in the home, like the beginning, like spooned.
I thought the story would come to an end here. Like a general plot, fall in love, argue, and embrace again.
Then, Sarah left Charlie at the school gate the next day and stayed with other friends as if nothing happened.
When Sarah gave the necklace Charlie's mother gave her to another girl, Charlie finally couldn't help getting up to grab the necklace, and rushed out of the classroom. Charlie's rapid and forbearing breathing sounded in the corridor.
Sarah asked to go to Charlie's house to pack her things. The two of them sat on the bed. Sarah kept saying irritating Charlie. Charlie couldn't hold back anymore. She pushed Sarah. Sarah hit the table and fell to the ground. She stood up and lay down on the bed again. I started to laugh, maybe because I thought everything was too ridiculous, or because I was so proud that Charlie was successful. Charlie grabbed the pillow and pressed it on Sarah's face...
When Charlie’s mother came home, she found Charlie sitting Crying in the living room. Mother Charlie asked her what's wrong. Charlie sobbed and said, she was on it. Charlie's mother noticed that something was wrong, and ran upstairs to Charlie's room and let out a scream.
As the camera zoomed in, Charlie kept holding back sobbing, from sobbing hurriedly to forcing her to adjust her breathing, from panicking, and finally forcing herself to calm down.
This concludes the video.
Just like the title of the film "respire", as the plot changes in the film, Charlie's breathing also changes. When Sarah plays with others and abandons her, her breathing is heavy and depressed. After the relationship breaks down, Charlie chooses to tolerate, regardless of her mood. It is still breathing, which makes people feel forbearing and there is a danger of breaking out soon after being extremely depressed. The most impressive thing is the recurrence of asthma in physical education class, which implies that Charlie, who has experienced sarah's revenge, is not only facing physical breakdown, but also mentally. Until the end, Charlie killed Sarah, and the close-up shot recorded Charlie's breathing. In the constant adjustment, the viewer was also allowed to adjust their mood.
The video 40:32 to 40:57 is a section I like very much. Charlie is practicing sarah by herself, how are you? I want to talk to you, sometimes you are really weird...This paragraph has only Charlie's voice, no picture. The voice and breathing are heavy and tired.
[The love is still there, but your ridiculousness makes me too tired. When I am tired, no amount of love seems heavy. ] The
film 41:04 to 41:42 is also a very meaningful section. Charlie walked through the crowd, Sarah greeted her warmly, hugged and kissed her shoulders, talked and laughed, and met another group of friends. Sarah naturally let Charlie go into the classroom with another group of friends, leaving Charlie sad... Sarah was as if they were there. The dodder mentioned in a class parasitizes on a geranium and absorbs the nutrients of the geranium. When the geranium can no longer satisfy her, it finds another host.
【How can she favor you, she just got the approval of the new environment through you. ]
I think. Sarah also likes Charlie, but the secret she wants to keep is too heavy. In her world, she wants everything to be controlled by herself. Once she crosses the safe range she thinks, everything is irreversible. It can be said that she is taking advantage of it too much. But I prefer to believe that the environment in which she lives makes everything.
Hurt each other and get back together. Although the opponent has touched the bottom line, he is still reluctant to give up completely.
What caused their tragedy may be [I like you, but why can't you like me in a way that I approve? 】
Nevertheless, perhaps only by killing you will you belong to me forever.
