Another film in which the actors' acting skills were blinded by the script.
I called Samsung, "OK".
The two hours in the movie theater felt like sitting on pins and needles, too long and boring, but I don't have the habit of quitting halfway through. In any case, after watching it, it's a respect for the movie.
Many people criticize the three views of "The Later Us". I don't think it is worth criticizing. There are too many films with three views that do not fit the audience. Similar to the "Later Us" theme of youth + reunion, such as "Sweet Honey" ", Li Xiaojun and Li Qiao also went to bed when Li Xiaojun had a girlfriend. "Long Bridge Last Dream" was a middle-aged derailment, and "Glass City" was a revival of old love after lovers reunited, and they were in a car accident together. Killed, but these films did not trigger the criticism of "three wrong views".
"Later Us" was filmed badly.
No amount of feelings can save the wounds. The plot and feelings are inexplicable. There are many touching sections that are connected in abruptly. There are many shining fragments, and each fragment can have a touching subtitle, which will also be touching. , but coherent, the themes are disorganized, and the whole loses its luster.
It's like a series of words, you know each word, but you can't understand it when you connect it into a sentence.
The screenwriter is actually very experienced. He accurately calculated the tears of the audience, and is as skilled as a worker on an assembly line, but it is too routine, too crafty, and the theme fails to sublimate.
Whether it is chicken soup or golden sentences, it should serve the plot and characters. The characters must be able to stand up, no matter whether the characters are good or bad, there must be motivation and changes to be like a real person. The plot should pay attention to logic and can be handled artistically, higher than reality but not too far from reality.
Small town youth, north drift, partition room, eviction within a time limit, basement, computer city, pirated CDs, poverty, dependence, separation, development, reunion after a long absence... These words can indeed affect the memories of many people drifting in various cities. But a movie, not a documentary, alone cannot make a good story with these typical scenes.
Where's the aftermath?
Lin Jianqing, who lost Fang Xiaoxiao, lost its color in the world. He seemed to have a wife and children, but his face was gloomy.
There is no "we" in the "later us", only Lin Jianqing, at least he has changed, and Fang Xiaoxiao, the same as before, has "always loved" Lin Jianqing. I really don't know how she got here all these years.
From another angle, if you shed tears just because these scenes are moved, then this emotion is shallow and cheap, the tear socket is too shallow, and the tear point is too low.
If I look at myself as a mirror, think of past love, break up, and cry like a dog in the theater, I can't sympathize.
As for saying that most people didn't understand it, and then eloquently brought out their own experiences to show how much they resonated with the characters in the film, such comments by such authors are just superficial and arrogant judgments. The personal experience of the class author is not of interest.
Even Rene Liu's works, with the deep imprint of "Later", are not of interest to the audience. After all, the so-called love between Rene Liu and Chen Sheng has been legendary for too many years, and it is nothing new.
Although each audience enters the theater for different reasons, but a good movie makes the audience feel different when they walk out of the movie theater. They don’t waste movie ticket money or time.

In terms of acting, every actor is very hardworking.
Jing Boran no longer feels creamy, but increases the roughness of life. He performed the mental journey from the small town to the choice of Beidrift, showing the inferiority complex and sensitivity.
Zhou Dongyu interprets Fang Xiaoxiao, who interprets cute elves with consistent aura. She is still performing in her true colors. She can't escape the image of a quirky little girl. The roles are basically the same. In this film, the memory part is not bad, but ten years later Fang Xiaoxiao, she can't play the change and level of the character, it is better to play it with another person, but in terms of role, this person itself is blurred, Lin Jianqing has a very complete social relationship, Fang Xiaoxiao except her ex-boyfriend They and a few frequently changing jobs are left with nothing.
Tian Zhuangzhuang contributed the most wonderful performance, an image of an old father watching in his hometown.
I didn't feel very moved by the letter that jerked many viewers to tears. The letter was very touching, but it was not something that an old man who ran a small restaurant in a small town could write. It was too literary.
Too literary, but also the disease of this film.
Lin Jianqing, a college student who is addicted to games, and my sister Fang, who has a high degree of education and a lack of culture, has no literary skills, but she can constantly spit out literary and artistic sentences, which is quite inconsistent in itself. , but what makes the film more alive is still the story itself. If a story cannot be told well, even if the golden sentence can fly farther, it is just a kite with a broken string.
To put it bluntly, it is the body of the young people in Bei Piao and the soul of the female Wen Qing in Taipei.
There is no problem with literature and art, but let the characters have a background in literature and art.
For example, if Lin's father's identity is a teacher in a small town school, at least the golden sentence can be more touching.
But this kind of golden sentence that plays a narration role is not used at the critical moment. What does Fang Xiaoxiao want? Why did they break up? I read a lot of comments, and many people, including me, find it inexplicable, and there are indeed some people who have made up a lot of scenes, but please, if the movie has to be watched like this, the actors just need to be silent, and the rest are all made up by the audience. Well, a thousand viewers can make up ten thousand "Hamlet".
In order to make two people fall in love, a college student who originally graduated from the game major and loves games, first sells discs at the bottom of the flyover in the computer city, and his companions can enter Changyou, can't he? Does he have to make his own game to be hired by Changyou with a high salary? Then why do you work as a game customer service in the middle?
Lin Jianqing is a college student and not a migrant worker. Do you really not know how many screenwriters are lacking in the game industry?
Having said that, I can't help but feel deeply injustice for Changyou, and it is obvious that Changyou has sponsored, but few people mentioned Changyou in such a heated discussion.
In the movie, people who could have had a less hard life had to be in a very miserable situation, in order to "have no choice but to live together", "It's not that we are pure and we all blame the evil society. ", "It's not that I don't want to keep it, but I can't give you the house you want right now."
Fang Xiaoxiao was also surprised, such a smart little girl, like a person, she could solve the situation that Lin Jianqing was uncertain in a few words. She had a sweet mouth and a strong relationship with customers. She did business with her expression. Ability, even if she has a low education, is not a problem in principle. If she works seriously, she doesn't need to expect a man to buy her a house at all, and she can win several sets by herself.
But not!
It was just looking for a boyfriend wholeheartedly, and changing one after another. In front of "love", his IQ was zero, and he was only discovered by accident when he was a junior, and then Lin Jianqing took the position of the spare tire.
She has been tossing around with different men for the house and Beijing hukou, but when Lin Jianqing had a house and said that he wanted to give her a home, she was no longer willing! Said that you never understood me, and then left as if too lazy to explain.
If that's the case, don't say love when we meet again.
No, "I've always loved."
It is said that you should not guess the thoughts of women, but Fang Xiaoxiao's thoughts are even more impossible to guess.
It's like writing an article with the argument that it is not easy to drift north.
So, there is an argument:
Lin Jianqing must be poor.
Fang Xiaoxiao must keep falling in love and falling out of love.
Two people have to squeeze into one room.
The two people can't help but have a relationship.
But the embarrassment overflowed the screen.
The later argument is: We met later, and the old love is unforgettable.
So, the argument is:
Two people had to stay in the same room because of the flight delay.
A bottle of red wine is required.
Must drink to recall the past.
It's the same details as before.
(Don't you two have nothing else to remember?)
Embarrassingly oversized.
The beauty of "Land Dreams of Covered Bridges" is restraint. You can't follow him in life. After death, the ashes will be scattered on the covered bridges.
Li Xiaojun in "Sweet Honey" has never forgotten his responsibility. The development of emotions has always had a supporting point, and the audience outside the screen sighed for them.
"Later Us" is very blunt and lacks a fulcrum:
The screenwriter said: there must be love, so they fell in love.
The screenwriter said: To have sex, so they cracked.
The screenwriter said: To break up, so they broke up.
The screenwriter said: To meet, so the train stopped, the plane stopped.
This is exactly the same story as the "Ian looking for Kelly" in the game.
If you don't break up, don't look for it, where can you get a developed, big House?
Because misfortune is the story, so make a story?
Let such a story become a label on your body to distinguish yourself from the rest of the world?
Later, this story is no longer a story, but a "feeling"?

Movies will have the director's personal style, that's right.
But personal style does not equal "always be yourself".
Chen Kexin's filming of "If • Love" and "Sweet Honey" are both out of love itself, and love is just a clue. The former involves the growth of characters and recognizing oneself in complex emotional entanglements, while the latter is the epitome of the great era.
In "If • Love", Lin Jiandong's efforts cannot support the ambition of the old grandson. The stubbornness of the old grandson has not changed over the years. She got what she wanted, and she also has feelings for Nie Wen, not pure use. Every character has its complexity, but it is this complexity that makes people memorable, because it is so complicated that it can clearly see where it comes from.
Rene Liu is a good singer and actor, but his talent as a director is not enough. A song is relatively easy, and so is acting in a play, because the play is only one's own character, and the director involves too many: stories, themes, characters, logic... Each character has its own life line and behavioral logic, You can't make fun of yourself.

I'm sorry that I can't sympathize with the people who cried bitterly in the theater because of the "love" and "parting" between Lin Jianqing and Fang Xiaoxiao.
Your ex is just a passer-by in life. Breaking up and breaking up are all compulsory courses in life. If you are entangled in your ex, if you see your ex and forget your current position, if only the past can be reminisced over and over again, then this is too much of a life. pale.
If you are happy enough now, you won't always think about the past.
Happiness depends not only on how much you have, but also how much you let go.
There are always regrets in life, but you have to learn to let go.
