Simple is not simple

"Memories of First Love" is a simple story, but the simplicity reveals truth and contains various emotions, in addition to love, there are friendship, mother's love, father's love and so on. I think the love process of the hero and heroine seems to be saying that loving someone is the process of truly understanding and tolerant of a person, as well as the process of understanding one's own soul, and the process of integrating into each other in understanding. They were all blinded by the superficial things at first, and after understanding, affection also followed. Or they have long known that the essence of their hearts is the same, but they just dare not expose the thin layer of paper on the surface. As for the performance of friendship and fatherly love in it, I think it also means that these emotions are a process of understanding, or a kind of belief, a process of sticking to affection.
Considering that the woman often goes to the cemetery, I don't think it is accidental. I think that in addition to her interest in astronomy and quietness, the cemetery also hints at her illness. But after the cancer was spoken, he acted very quietly and sweetly, including the beautiful marriage at the end, which was a resistance to the unfortunate fate, a kind of resolution to the sadness. The love of the two that the hero retains in his heart is the continuation of the heroine's life. Even so, fate is indeed unfair to them. Injustice is injustice, and that love has become a memory. But if compared to the infinite universe, any long life can also become a memory, then they are enough. I don't think it's accidental that the film's protagonist observes the universe. Maybe it's to express how a finite life can find eternity in an infinite universe. The story chooses the pastor's daughter as the protagonist, that is, the protagonist is placed in the pastor's family, I think it is also intentional, but I did not think clearly. But I don't think religion exists because of death, that is, it's not about caring for the dead, it's about spiritually protecting the life before death, and the living who have been taken away by death.
Many novels and movies now focus too much on technique, but complex things are not necessarily beautiful and great. There is not simplicity in simplicity, richness and variety, and sincerity. That is a good work.
