Zhou Dongyu has a face that has not been devastated by life, so she can be innocent and innocent in every movie, then be torn apart by life, and be resurrected with blood in the next movie. A good director can make the audience feel real pain just by tearing the face at the right moment.
But I think the movie abused the face. Obviously it was us who came later, but in the end it was only Lin Jianqing who came later.
What about Fang Xiaoxiao?
Compared with Lin Jianqing's relatively complete social relationship and life experience shown in the film, the film's portrayal of Fang Xiaoxiao is almost sloppy. Her mother passed by in a flash, she had no friends of her own, and even after a long absence, she, apart from the sure factor of flying in economy class, the audience and Lin Jianqing knew nothing about her present.
This is a bit weird as the work of Rene Liu, a female director. A more reasonable explanation may be that the female Wen Qing Liu Ruoying hopes to shape Xiao Xiao in the eyes of men, more than the real Xiao Xiao.
I like that when Lin Jianqing and Fang Xiaoxiao are together, young people's eyes will light up when they are in love. That kind of mutual support is very real sweet. But there is a clear gap between the first half and the second half of the movie. If the two people in the first half are still realistic, the two in the second half begin to indulge in the director's self-expression and gradually collapse.
In the second half of the movie, even the quarrel and separation of the two people are fragmented. This kind of fragmentation is that it does not intend to tell you the real psychological state of Lin Jianqing and Xiaoxiao, but can only see their confrontation. Against the world, against each other, we don't know why these two characters love each other so much but hurt so much, we can only call it "make" in general.
Then interspersed with watching Jing Boran and Zhou Dongyu under the black and white camera, listening to them asking hypocritically, "Have you ever loved me?"
The dialogue in the snow for the sake of the question appeared very abruptly. It was a question for the sake of expression. Didn't you feel happiness because you confirmed your love? Why reconfirm after so many years?
The only explanation is that the director wants to shake the audience's shoulder too much and say - look, Zhou Dongyu is Bai Yueguang!
In order to reflect this period of white moonlight, the film asked Lin Jianqing's father to write a letter to Xiaoxiao, so that Lin Jianqing's later married life showed no happiness. .
As for Xiaoxiao, we only see her expressionless face and tears streaming down her face after meeting for many years, and she only smiles happily when she recalls the past. What kind of life she has lived these years is meaningless, she only exists for the reunion many years later.
This movie is really not worthy of Zhou Dongyu's youthful face. If Lin Jianqing was able to find the inspiration for making games from this relationship, Xiaoxiao only got a relationship injury, and it still hasn't healed after many years. In order to achieve the pain, it forced her to show the pain. Such a waste.
