He disappeared into the flood of time again, as if he had never appeared.

I remember when that person left, a certain part of my body left with it.
Then I said to myself, maybe God has been too kind to me. If we are really together for ten years, then the rest of my life can only be spent in nostalgia.

The first time I cried was because I wanted to express my love, but I couldn't get the words out of my mouth, and I felt like a naked person lying in the spotlight with no defenses. Call me by your name, this is not an unintentional word of deep affection, for two equally delicate souls, it is more resolute than eachother. From now on, it is no longer "you are mine", but "I am you".

At that time he asked me, what's the matter, don't cry, so I will be very distressed. I cried even harder and felt like I couldn't be understood, what's more sad than being incomprehensible by the person you're about to give everything to blend with? Yet he, like Oliver, was a good comforter, and he ate the peach, even though he didn't understand the full meaning of the peach.

To this day, I still remember a lot of the plot in the story, after all, it was more than a short summer. A friend said that you should let it go. In fact, I have really let it go, but what's wrong with remembering? As the father said in the movie, rejecting real feelings is not the solution, and in the end our hearts will just be empty and empty. The pain I carry is also a source of joy, and in many moments it even gives strength. And we can only live once, and we will never forget it if we set off again. In the final analysis, it is just a choice.

About this movie, there is a lack of a lot of psychological descriptions in the original book. What we see may only be a glimpse, but those details are familiar. It is sweet and bitter at the same time. It is fleeting and eternal. If you love someone like yourself, this is the truth of love.

At the end of the novel, there is this passage:

He wrote: "If you remember everything, if you are really like me. Then before you leave tomorrow, or the moment the taxi door is about to close. When you have said goodbye to other people, there is nothing else to say in this life. Speak. So, just once. Please turn around and face me, even in a joking tone, or when you do it without thinking, when we were together, it could have been extremely important to me. Like you've done in the past, look Look at my face, meet my eyes, and call me by your name."

In the 2012 Ya'an earthquake, he misremembered my hometown and asked me on Weibo how everything was going. It's been a year since he cut all ties. If I had had the slightest doubt before, it was clear at that moment. I replied, all fine, thank you.

Then, he disappeared into the flood of time again, as if he had never appeared.

    There's something that blows like the wind on a summer night and catches you off guard. It's a secret that I want you to know but can't tell, it's the timidity of pretending to be nothing if you push the door open, it's deliberately playing the wrong piece for you, and it's stealing your scent. They are beautiful like reflections in a pool, bright and clear, but fleeting.

    Have to wait until winter to cry. "But seeing others talk about love and temptation, ask when the grapes will ripen first." This is not a love movie. It captures the mood of the teenager all the time. He "finally touched it but the years don't come back." Timothy presents this role perfectly, with an actor-level performance. The first and third scenes of the movie are very good. People are all phantom beasts who fight against themselves and destroy their lives.
