The expectation for this film began when it was a blockbuster during the Berlin Film Festival, and then I learned that it was the director who loved the series, and the film itself was unique and could not easily imitate the shooting method, which gave rise to a strong curiosity and expectation in my heart. . It was screened a week ago, and the second brush today still feels the same. It is plain, it is practical, it is the nostalgia for my growing up when I smile. Countless regrets, countless losses, countless desires, countless joys, and finally the precipitation of time, is not as good as those ordinary and real moments, those fragments sometimes return to your dreams, when you wake up, you will remember, you will feel a little bit Sentimental, because they and you are always separated by that layer of fuzzy glass, they will gradually become invisible, but you can do nothing, the only thing you can do is learn to say goodbye to them.
Although the film was shot for 12 years, the story in front of the camera made it difficult for me to notice the passage of time. Coldplay’s "Yellow" that sounded when the opening scene was dark is really wonderful. Look at the sky full of stars and the stars. When the screen gradually lights up, it seems like the audience has passed through a time tunnel. A cute boy is lying on the grass. Looking at the blue sky thoughtfully, but within a few seconds, the voice of the young mother rang out, so the noisy, trivial, and the days that you thought would never end when you were a child began to show up in front of you. The boy’s family seems to be a bit special. Single mothers with siblings and two children have a lot of daily affairs, and young mothers’ love life is quickly abandoned because of conflicts in family love. Just when you think of the movie It probably presents the misfortune of single mothers and single-parent families, but it does not satisfy your expectations at all. The young mother is a courageous woman who is positive and eager for change, hoping to make her life better and provide her children with the best life. She is not afraid to move, go back to university, and work for a family for a better life. .
I don't know if it was intentional or natural. The siblings grew up almost in the same trajectory. The difference is that the older sister is more mature and sophisticated, while the younger brother is more idealistic and simple. According to the hint in the photo (the younger brother is just over his 15th birthday, and the older sister is in the second year of high school), we can see that the age difference between the younger brother and sister is about two to three years. In general, it is very common for girls to mature earlier than boys in all aspects. I have seen that in their respective rebellious phases and confused phases, the siblings follow each other step by step. There is an episode. When the second stepfather sarcastically taught the boy’s blue nail polish and satirized his sissy, the sister who had already passed through the rebellious stage of dyeing hair immediately supported him. He was just to show that he was cool. There are many in school. Boys do this! When this episode happened, I couldn't help but think that the older sister who slyly bullied her younger brother at the beginning and didn't want to take her younger brother out of school during the rebellious period, growing up was a matter of course. There is also a very detailed and touching point in the film. It portrays some of the little friends who are important at different stages during the growth of the siblings. These little friends came to the life of the siblings and walked out of the siblings because of the constant moving. In my younger brother's life, those promised letters, telephone calls, and time to visit have all become unachievable expectations. In the end, they became the hurried passers-by in the 12 years, and after a short encounter, there will be no future.
When the boy moved for the first time, the boy looked back and looked at his partner who was struggling to see off on a bicycle. I believe many viewers would think of a neighbor who lived downstairs or upstairs. And the sisters and brothers of Mindy and Randy in the first combined family grew up happily and painfully with the protagonist. After watching Samantha cried and asked her mother, what should Mindy and Randy do if they stay at that home, and whether they can see them again in the future. When they were, there was a burst of sorrow and grief in their hearts. The relationship between children is so easy to establish, and once established, it is so sincere and strong. Why do these things gradually disappear when people grow up. (PS: When I watched it for the second time, I found that Randy is super cute and handsome. This kid should look much better than the male protagonist when he grows up. As a result, IMDB has no information at all, and Google doesn’t have any information from Google...) And then During the most difficult time for the whole family, borrowing the two children who lived in the mother’s friend’s house, the younger girl finally appeared at the protagonist’s high school graduation party and ended up gracefully.
For events that show the time span of the film, in addition to their constantly changing house, there are also the boy’s mother’s haircuts that are fat, thin, short, and of course, and of course, such as the Iraq War, the release of the novel Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Obama Presidential campaign and so on. Among them, the new book of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was released at midnight. It was really great. I was able to get a glimpse of the rich and interesting activities of the happy children of the United States when the new book was first released. Soon after the beginning of the film, the mother read the Harry Waves to the two children. The story of Te and the Chamber of Secrets can be regarded as an echo. From the Chamber of Secrets to the Half-Blood Prince, for children, it is from the fantasy that one day I will receive a letter from the magic school, to the beginning of questioning that magic and elves are just illusions made up by people. Slowly get out of the days of innocence. I believe that the first Harry Potter books were first encountered in elementary or junior high school and now the audience who went to the cinema to watch this film will turn their heads at this moment and think, how did I know Harry Potter? I bought the Half-Blood Prince. Which year, the first movie Sorcerer's Stone and who went to watch it, etc.
Everyone’s tear points may be different. I watched the movie twice, and the overlapping tear points were when my mother returned to her violent ex-husband’s house to bring her child back. She was afraid of herself, but she was reluctant to touch her child. The demeanor, unconditional maternal love is portrayed in this way. Also, when the boy left home to go to university, he was facing an empty nest and was unable to comply with his mother, who cried in an instant. Probably I have experienced accompanying my parents to send my brother to university. I was also sent to university by my parents. I saw this. The scene, the feeling is quite deep. However, the whole film is happy and relaxed in general, so there are tears in the laugh, and it is not sensational. Why can the days like running accounts be so nostalgic after watching it?
I am very envious of the little boy in the film. At first, I thought this was a broken family, but after watching it, I found it was a loving and warm family. Regarding confusion and the search for the meaning of future life, they were troubled by these problems when they were fifteen or sixteen. They slowly discovered their hobbies and tried different interests. And I, after receiving compulsory education for 12 years, What worries about is how to squeeze through the single-plank bridge after another, how to enter a good junior high school, high school, and so on. How I hope that at an age when time seems to be stagnant forever and my parents will not grow old, I have been so confused and searched.. ....
