In fact, the story is very simple. It is a pair of lovers who used to love each other very much. Years later, they reunited in their hometown and spent an ordinary evening. They did what they loved to do, cherished the sweet memories of the year, and re-walked the road they walked, but they didn't have sex! Black and white video, like a sad poem,
The whole film is in black and white. The main characters are only the male and female protagonists, and there are only a few customers in the shopping mall, the owner of the old store, and the rest are all contracted by men and women. On the whole, it is like a nostalgic love song, more like a poem in memory of youth after the vicissitudes of life.
The hero's mother died, and he came back to clean up the old house. The heroine's sister was pregnant, she came back to take care of her, and the two met like this. Embarrassing encounter, don't know what to say. As the two of them talked, the relationship progressed little by little. From when they were in the coffee shop, they each introduced their experiences over the years, the male protagonist's life and work, the female protagonist's family and stepson. It's all a little chatter, and it sounds like they're all going well.
The two returned to the small shop they used to go to back then. The owner of the small shop was still there, remembered them, and could understand their secret words. It's like they went back in time and bought the things they used to buy. It's just that after all, it's not what it used to be, and some things from the past can't be bought.
The heroine remembers that the hero has two cavities, and the hero remembers that the heroine likes to eat pink and purple candies, and realizes that each other still cares about these small details of the other party, so the relationship progresses from the greeting of meeting, step by step, and one more layer. close. The two went to the park they used to go to casually, and talked while walking. The heroine thought that she was back to the past and began to care about the hero too much. The hero stopped pretending that everything was fine. In fact, his job It was a mess, and life was bad. And the heroine also admits that her stepson is actually very rambunctious and difficult to discipline, and her husband is much older than her and has no common language.
The two returned to the dilapidated house of the male protagonist's mother, full of details of past memories. Novels on the shelf, clothes in the closet, tape recorders in the old trunk, etc. Picking a tape at random to play is the trivial part of life back then. They were so poor at that time, but they seemed extraordinarily rich. But love can never withstand the wear and tear of life.
The two of them sat under the night sky, suddenly wanting to re-enact their memories of that year. Dancing to the music, dancing wildly, shouting, and time seems to have gone back to the past. The female protagonist once wanted to travel the world with the male protagonist to see those friends who have left. Isn't this the wish of each of us when we were young? But now, it's not the same as the hero and heroine, living a fucking life! Memories come to an abrupt end, and finally return to reality.
Those secrets that have never been mentioned to others, the heroine's depression, are easily told to the male lead! Yes, who once fell in love so much and suddenly separated, who wouldn't lose their will, or even be depressed all the time? The most painful thing in the world is that two people clearly love each other, so many years ago, and so many years later, but they are still separated. There are too many possibilities in the world, and we can only follow the mercy of fate.
Think crazy one more time, leave everything behind, like Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse, regardless of worldly vision, we are desperate to be together, but after all, we are all mortals, and we do not have the courage to abandon everything in front of us. Even if we love each other again, we can only kiss and hug. , Reason tells us that we will go home at dawn.
The film does not explain the reason for the breakup of the male and female protagonists, but only gives a general statement. It seems that the female protagonist faced a great difficulty at that time, and felt that the male protagonist could not face it side by side with herself and could only bear it alone, so she chose to leave. The male protagonist hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to face the female protagonist together. He wrote a letter to tell the female protagonist, but unfortunately the letter was not sent, and the female protagonist left. Everything is such a coincidence. If the male lead could have sent the letter earlier, and if the female lead could have waited for the male lead, maybe the two would be together now. But the world is like a deep love and rain, as Ru Ping said, there has never been a thing called if in the world. Even if two people are together, they may get tired of each other after many years, and those deep love will be exhausted by trivial life. There is a reason for God to arrange this. At least when you feel hopeless about the life in front of you, you can recall the sweet past and draw the courage to continue living from the memory.
Just like at the end of the film, after the hero and heroine cried and made a lot of noise, they finally smiled helplessly and returned to their own lives. From start to finish, it was just one night, but the relationship between men and women was advancing layer by layer. From 1, embarrassing heavy → 2, friend's greeting → 3, more intimacy than friends → 4, as if it was the same year → 5, each restrained and returned to reality. Emotional ups and downs, moving people.
At first, I thought this film was boring, and it was still black and white. It was very boring, but I watched it patiently and it was very touching. At the beginning, I was guessing whether the current life is black and white, which means it is very bleak, and the past life is colored, which means it is very sweet, which shows that in the life of the hero and heroine, only the past part is really alive. But the film has no memories, only a memory of the male and female protagonists pretending to be. However, after watching the film, I also feel that the black and white arrangement is better and more suitable for the vicissitudes and sadness of the film.
A very small and artistic work, like a sad poem, young people may not feel it after reading it, and can't stand it, but people who have been unforgettable in love but separated after reading it, I believe you will cry to death in the film.
