I like this movie so much.
The rural background under the big history, the paradoxical narrative tension brought about by the constant chasing of horses but its purity, and the beautiful and flesh-and-blood protagonists.
To be able to tell such a confused and troubled polyamorous love story in such a romantic and sunny way, the key is to shape the protagonist group centered on François and wrapped in the "seven-shaped love" (don't doubt, it's everyone The permutations and combinations that have been done in class are only).
Centered on Mayi: Francois (spiritual lover), Saijie (seeker & rival), Enli (rival - "Dew Lover)
Centered on Sai Jie: Mai (the pursued), Francois (rival & dew lover), Enli (hate each other - "Rival)
Centered on Enli: Francois (Ambiguous Object - "Friends"), Sai Jie (Losing Each Other), Mai (Dew Lovers)
The first is Francois and Mai in the protagonist group. As a couple and girlfriend group (crossed out), the introverted and simple F and the bright and generous Ma can be described as two sides, both sides tolerate and promote each other's growth. In the story, the former has Sai Jie's body and lust for Enli, the latter has Sai Jie's lust and Enli's body, and at the end of the story, they embrace each other -- I have to sigh, this chaotic and pure love. Youth is really full of confusion when going around in circles.
Just like Francois, a pure and pure young man, it is a matter of minutes to attract the audience's affection; but Mai, a girl who is not very beautiful, has successfully achieved "you will like it at a glance" The tactful flow of her—in the scene where she was testing the waters of the wild reeds, her every move, even with her hair, was as beautiful as an amiable and dignified goddess of nature.
There are many points in this film that touched me, such as François reading poems in class, talking to himself in the mirror late at night, self-reporting with the owner of the shoe store, and Mai's final "crazy", the story setting is quite attentive and full of poetry Coupled with this unexpected lens language, the classic motif of seeking self-identification in growth can be inadvertently explained - true + no climax in the whole process or in the whole climax.
It is worth mentioning that the atmosphere of the whole film is also very intoxicating to me. If the director can make a real pure love and co-movie instead of telling a sad and beautiful youth film, then I probably will. Let's blast it into fireworks. (PS: I was wrong, don't recommend me to watch "When We Were 17", I gave it 2 stars.)
Four-star evaluation objectively, but the personal viewing process is too pleasant, so selfish five-star-viewing is very personal, and I do not insist on approval~
PS: Enli, who is radical, quirky and calm and bold in the protagonist group, is super likable to me. His little Nei Shuang, who is flying all over Asia but is rare in Europe, has a special sense of intimacy for me; but the other one - Sai Jie No, although they are also contrasting each other in a certain sense, I really don't like this one and feel that Francois, who is infatuated with him, is pitiful (looks? Not all, although the actor's face is a little crooked, but the young face The body is enough to make up for it, but the overall character is too flat in behavior--in order to seduce Mai, he went to François in a different way... The story finally saw him "lose" Mai and Fran at the same time in one breath. Sova, don't be too happy~)
But think about it, if the two are reversed, then the roles of Mai and Francois must also be reversed, because the characters determine the fate, otherwise the logic of the story will not be established.
(Hey, people just want to eat the food of François and Enli, who produced the wild reeds of Mai and François!!!)
