Why is life so bitter? The pain of life is nothing more than what you want.
Harry has always wanted to lay a realistic foundation for their love, but his abilities are limited; Monica just wants to live in unfettered love - people are not born equal, some people are born with a golden key, some people are born with a golden key. Have a hard time - Monica doesn't want to fight for it with her own hands, their love ending is doomed to fall apart and go their separate ways.
It's just that Harry didn't love this unscrupulous Monica, didn't he? At first he also suspected that Monica really loved him, indeed Monica just wanted someone to suddenly change her fate (just like Madame Bovary), but they did have that dream The summer of 2019, that summer they rubbed their ears, played wanton, and were as happy as two little lunatics, that dreamy summer would be the best time they could have in their lives...
Monica is 17 years old. The brothers in the family are noisy all day long. Her father beats and scolds them when she comes back drunk. Her mother is busy with housework all day long. There are vulgar men in the vegetable store where she works and eat her tofu. She has a strong desire for another life, the kind of love in the movie; Harry, 19, lost his mother when he was a child, his father was reticent, and being a deliveryman was boring, he and Monica met, and their lives were only With vivid colors, they will pay the price of youthful impulse in the future. What is there to blame for such two young people?
Don't worry, life will teach you to grow up in pain sooner or later, so let's enjoy this time of wanton behavior first, don't even have this short-lived beauty, and suffer the pain of a mediocre life.
Anderson was so natural in front of the camera that it's no wonder Bergman said: "It was at that moment that for the first time in film history there was an unshy form of engagement with the audience."
