1. At the beginning, the protagonist and heroine meet by chance on a congested road. The male protagonist drove an American-made classic convertible, the car stereo was still a tape, and the male protagonist kept rewinding. The heroine drove a Nissan Toyota. Through the details of what car to drive, the screenwriter wants to reveal that the male protagonist is a literary and artistic youth with a strong romantic sentiment, while the female protagonist is a pragmatist. Note that in many American movies, driving a Japanese car, especially the bargain that fills the streets, is hailed as a scum without the "American spirit", symbolizing that it only seeks practicality without emphasizing feelings and standpoints. So, in a later scene, Mia asked Seba to help her get the car keys from the parking place. There is a detail that Seba said, "There are so many Toyota keys, I don’t know which one belongs to you." In comparison, Seba’s convertible is unique, and it also symbolizes Seba’s character: conservative, persistent, and sentimental. So only through the details of the car, the screenwriter releases a message to the audience that the male lead and the female lead are not the same, one is a dreamer, and the other is a pragmatist.
2. Speaking of the pragmatism of the heroine, there is another detail in the film. When the hostess failed the first audition and returned to the rental house, everyone saw that it was a shared house. There is only one purpose for choosing shared rent, which is to be cheap, because the hostess has no name and no money. But please note that Seba, the same moneyless and nameless male protagonist, lives alone. What kind of people have to live alone even if they have money constraints? Many people are not because they are not in a group, but because they value the independence of space, which is an external manifestation of inner attachment. The hostess was different. Not only did she share the rent with others, she also borrowed her blue dress without saying hello to her roommate, the one worn by the four girls dancing on the way to the party. In contrast, Seba didn't even make it easy to sit on a meaningful wooden chair that was given to him by others, and ended up in his own bar. Here also reflects the completely different character and value orientation of the two people.
3. Another detail is that when Mia hooked up with Seba, Mia actually had a boyfriend. It was Gray who had a local tyrant's brother parachuting to accompany him to dinner, and finally Mia left the table and ran away in order to watch a movie with Seba. Obviously there is a tall, wealthy and handsome boyfriend, and he ran to hook up with a young man like Saiba, but he could only offer one word-for. In fact, many women like to write when they are young. I think the conditions of my boyfriend are fine, but they are boring and have no common language. Therefore, when a charming literary youth or uncle suddenly appeared, he immediately burst into love, feeling that his love was not strong enough and his youth was too pale. But such girls do not love this person, but an experience they have never experienced before. To put it bluntly, Mia thinks a boy like Seba is interesting, she has never tried it, so the strong sense of freshness and possessive dominance makes her want to come with Seba! Poor Seba. . .
4. Seba gets up and hears Mia and her mother call, saying that Seba does not have a stable income such as Balabala. I can't help asking here, sure Mia didn't let Seba hear it on purpose? Because the effect was so good, Seba, who was stimulated, stupidly joined the band he didn't want to join. In order to make money, in order to stabilize the income, in order to reassure the future mother-in-law. Oh, poor Seba... However, when the band's performance was a success, when Seba on the stage attracted a group of fans to scream, Mia below the stage was sad. Why? Or because Mia felt that if Seba succeeded on her own first, the equal relationship between the two of them would be broken, so Mia would be sad because of the uncertainty brought about by her lack of self-confidence. Finally, Mia found a reason for "no time to be with me" and had a fight with Seba. When they have time, you think they have no money. People are going to make money, and you think they don’t have time. Excuse me, what is this for? Before leaving, I didn't forget to put a big hat on "Have you forgotten your dream?"
5. In the end, under Seba's persuasion, Mia seized the last chance and flew to Paris. Five years later, Mia became famous, and there was no trace of Seba in her life, she seemed to be living the life of a wealthy lady. In Seba's life, Mia has always existed. Including the bar logo Mia designed for him at the time, including the huge poster of Mia on the corner wall that I pass by every day, including seeing Mia under the stage, playing the melody when the two met in a word...and At this moment, Mia, after the end of the song, got up and said to her husband, "Let's go." Go as soon as possible.
Therefore, Mia likes Seba because at the lowest point in her life, she met a man with a similar fate but full of interest.
Seba fell in love with Mia because in the same fate, she met a woman who could understand her dreams. It's just that Seba never thought about it. In fact, Mia never liked jazz from the beginning.
Seba simply thought that he had met true love. In fact, I am just a person who is needed by a person at a specific time and a specific place.
Wenqing, wake up! Especially young men and women, don’t rush to find a stable income job to make money. Take a look at those who sing folk songs, and finally a few have a good time~~bye!
