There are some people in your life who meet you, share a time in your life together, and then leave in a hurry. Maybe there is no intersection, but his/her influence on you may always remain and make you who you are now.

Sometimes, whether reading a book or watching a movie, what you see may only be the part of your heart that you want to see. In this film, I saw the encounter between a little boy and a girl, which was short but beautiful. Although they finally returned to their respective lives, they left a deep impact on each other, so that they could both regain their inner love but were once Something to give up - music.

The movie begins with two people with completely different life trajectories. Whether it is a little boy who is cared for by servants and his mother in a spacious mansion or a girl who is alone in a small and messy apartment, there is a faint atmosphere of loneliness.

It was obvious that the little boy was a gifted child. Sitting in a classroom with his classmates who were all older than him, he was caught by the math teacher and answered the teacher's question with ease and disdain. The proficiency and fluency of reciting love poems intoxicated the Chinese teacher, and the students looked at him, suggesting his precociousness. The girl broke up with her boyfriend and was fired by the boss. She called her mother, not only did she get no comfort, she was hurt by her mother's cruelty, and she had to worry about her sister. In the end, she ignored the cold eyes and curled up on her friend's sofa to sleep. Also have to worry about where to sleep tomorrow.

Two people who look so different can really understand and communicate in their hearts. From the same love for music, it can be seen that behind the differences in age, background, experience, etc., there are other things in common that attract them to be close to each other. Although they only got along for a short time, it could temporarily dissolve their inner loneliness, accompany each other, care for each other, and have attachments in their hearts, but in the end, girls still have to leave, because they have to return to their different lives in the end. is real life.

Loneliness is unavoidable for each of us. In the process of growing up, we can meet such people, walk with you for a while, and give you warm companionship. Even if we have to separate immediately, we are still grateful for such an encounter. Maybe it will make you different from now on.

The male and female protagonists of this film are well chosen. I like that when the heroine takes the little boy home to see his sick father, he lies on the pillow in the hotel and tells the little boy about his past, talking about music, his father, his boyfriend, remembering the sweet smile when he has it, and how he feels when he is lost. The sad, warm and tender feeling is fascinating. The little boy's performance is also very good, not only the sensitivity of a teenager, but also the mature and intelligent style of an adult, which makes people laugh, but there is no sense of disobedience.

The music always pervades the entire movie like a mist. Like Sunday, like rain is a song written by a little boy, and I like to use it as a general term for all the music in the movie. Seeing the back, I can't help thinking whether the music is rendering the story, or the story is cooperating with the music, so that we can feel the beauty of the encounter more deeply.
