A very interesting thing, the name of the movie "Later Us" contains a total of three songs - Rene Liu's "Later", Eason Chan's "We", and Mayday's "Later Us".
Because of Rene Liu, everyone takes it for granted that this is a derivative movie of the song "Later", but after watching the film, the audience will find that this movie has nothing to do with "Later" except for the title and artistic conception. There are neither white gardenias, nor blue pleated skirts, nor seventeen-year-old midsummer in the movie. Most of the scenes in the movie are winter, crowded trains, embarrassed group rentals, and the song "Later". Compared with the fresh scenes of soft light, "Later Us" is closer to the original appearance of real life.
The film is adapted from Liu Ruoying's novel "New Year, Go Home", so it begins with Zhou Dongyu and Jing Boran meeting on the Spring Festival train. The two young people from the North Piao come from the same hometown and yearn for the same Beijing. Their common life experiences make them cherish each other. . It has to be said that the milk tea from Taiwan and without the experience of Beidrift makes the life of Beidrift much more realistic than the recent "Beijing Women's Guide".
It is also a woman from Beidri. Zhou Dongyu in the milk tea shot lives in a group of rented houses, endures the babbling of the next door in the middle of the night, endures the boss's temper, and eats instant noodles for three meals a day in order to save money... Let's see Looking at Qi Wei next door, she has been in low-cost housing for less than three episodes. The female boss's luxury house is rented to her at a low price, she is carrying LV on the bus, her boyfriend gives her thousands of underwear, and she frequently flips the table with customers...
Comparing these two works, how can people believe that Zhou Dongyu, who lives in the basement and eats instant noodles, and Qi Wei, who is carrying LV, will appear on the same bus? They didn't even float in the same Beijing, maybe not in the same dimension.
Also, as a northern drifter, although I have never lived in a basement, I was deeply touched by the people who hurriedly left Beijing with large bags and small bags on the subway in the streets and alleys last winter. When I first graduated, I also rented a house with poor environment. I was crowded out by my grumpy roommates, and I went home and bowed my head every day. Most of us from ordinary backgrounds should have experienced such a difficult time. "Later Us" expresses the hardships of such young people vividly. The protagonist of the film is every young man who struggles in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. They have no house, car or money, but they have a heart that is not afraid of losing. He came to the big city with the urge to start all over again, eager to get ahead.
The same concept brings the male and female protagonists together, and their poor days are a little brighter because of love. Because of you, eating instant noodles is delicious, living in the basement can see the sun, and there is hope for handing out flyers... Life in Beidri is very difficult. If you have someone to accompany you to share the hardship, then all the hardships will be gone. The exit is like "the mountain has a small mouth, as if there is light", Lin Jianqing is the pillar of Fang Xiaoxiao's drifting north, and Fang Xiaoxiao is the driving force for Lin Jianqing to continue the drifting north. They are the only warmth for each other in Beijing.
When I saw the scene where they embraced for warmth, it was my first tear. Love can be the redemption of hard daily life, and it can also be a weapon against fate. You are my weakness and my armor. It's a pity that you later became my biggest regret.
Yes, the love in this movie has not been candy all the time. It is not the kind of love movie that creates a dream for you and a prince. It is not a peaceful and happy reunion. In addition to falling in love, the protagonist has to work and make money to live. This is its greatest truth. It is also because of life and the pressure of reality that they are drifting away. This is my second tear. Two people can have only love together, but two people cannot have only love if they want to be together forever. Later, you will find that it is a natural phenomenon that love loses to fate, and anyone and everything has to bow their heads in front of fate. No matter how strong we hold, we can't compare to fate's soft breath, "I must never give up on you" becomes "I finally lost you".
Just like the line of Father Lin played by Teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang in the play "It's really hard to live up to this life", this is my third tear. Father Lin, who has come here, understands that there are too many things in his life that he can't do anything about, such as a big house of 20,000 square meters, such as the red sports car in the 4S store, such as the long legs on the summer street, such as love, such as you... just Even the British prince can't cure hair loss, how can you ask that everyone you like is by your side? Don't say that what you can't get is always in turmoil, and you can't get love is the normal state of life.
Therefore, Fang Xiaoxiao also became a sensible person later. When Lin Jianqing said, "If you hadn't left at that time, would we be different later?", she said, "If not if". Well, there is no if in the world, and we have no later. However, thank you for making me feel loved, walking with me through every season in this city, those warm yesterdays are the most shining memories.
It can be said that "Later Us" gives an unusually full comment to "Love but not". It weaves a web of sweetness, tangle and pain in love, and every audience can always find it on this web. A few points of my own, probably this is why it made so many people cry. From "love you" to "missing you", just two words, but it took all the luck of my life.
