1. The subject. "Laotong" is like a spiritual marriage, and the friendship can last a lifetime. Just reading the introduction really attracted me to the story, which is as mysterious as the "Nu Shu" carrying the unique communication method between girls, and lingering like the "secret fan" that conveys the friendship between girls. Snowflake and Lily are both wonderful names, and I also baselessly think that these should be two names for a full story. If "same" is a spiritual intercourse, forgive me for seeing the full ambiguity in the poster. What the lips confine under the secret fan want to tell is hardly friendship or love. And I just fell in love with this unnamed feeling.
2. The plot. Relatively boring enough, and definitely boring enough. The love between two worlds, the story of three time periods, each section is flat and straightforward enough to be blatant, the rhythm is too protracted, the plot setting opportunities have no comedy conflict, and the film is more than half the length of the audience. I am still in a fog (see "Inception" It is also cloudy and foggy, but the key is that the cloud and fog of Inception is the plot itself, and the cloud of snowflakes comes from the lack of the plot). The powerless story undoubtedly caused a congenital injury to the narrative method, so that the back and forth time and space shuttle failed to save this pale reincarnation.
3. Actor. Li Bingbing and Quan Zhixian have nothing to say about their beauty and appeal, but frankly speaking, neither of the two beauties in this film has a chance to shine. Li Bingbing's low-key and charming temperament actually matches the lily in the film. This may not have much room for play in ancient times due to the repression of the social environment, but in modern dramas, because the characters carry the clue function of the whole film, they can It has been reflected in many heart-moving dramas, but with excessive "naked makeup" and clothing that is too cool and bloated and has no sense of hierarchy, the beauty can only lose its color. What is even more tragic is that Quan Zhixian seems to have almost no "clear words" in the whole film due to language barriers, and the characters are too irrelevant.
4. Intention. Regarding what this film is about, if you really want to choose between love and friendship, I believe no one can decisively choose the answer. And I also stubbornly believe that with such a great selection of materials, this film should not be about love or friendship only. So you can imagine how speechless and resentful I was when the words "friendship lasts forever" were typed in the end credits... Especially when I think of the scene in the film that can be called "Lily's Desire", I It can only be said that spending money to see a movie is definitely not for a great and pure sublimation, at least not for this film.
Summary: A gimmick, everything is a gimmick. If the creators were a little more daring not to lead such an unruly life, or simply pretended to be careless and let the audience figure it out for themselves, it would be a little more useful than a slogan like "friendship lasts forever".
I'm sorry, I left the table in anger.

    I watched it with my wife at Wanda, and I only remembered one line: "If you don't get into college, I will send you to Korea!" Three stars, mainly because of the wife's face.

    "The Secret Fan of Snowflakes" is like the dialogue in the film that suddenly changes to English and Chinese. This film is so strange. In fact, the production level is not low. Wang Ying's films are still very literary, but the stories are too messy and the plot is difficult to enter. Overall Contemporary is better shot than Memories. Some of the dialogues are so hard as if they were translated directly from English. The scenes in the old stories are always stingy and contrived. The soundtrack is not bad, and each stage is very contemporary. Oh, and the Wolverine
