Going back is a game

The movie itself doesn't have any special feelings. It should have been a good movie in the past, but it is too ordinary to look at it now. Especially the method of imagining going back to the past, I feel lame no matter what. In addition, the love at first sight and the deliberate approaching and chatting afterward are particularly hypocritical, making the male protagonist look like a wretched lecher. (And call him handsome in conscience? If I were the heroine, I would ignore this kind of person, and maybe I would call the police.)
But after watching it, I thought, if I can go back to high school, go and see what I liked back then. man, how nice. Just watching, if possible, I will find a chance to say a few words, simple, that's it. But he will never choose to go on a hunger strike when he loses a strange love that he should never get, like the male protagonist. Yes, this is just a wonderful love game that travels through time and space, just experience it. Back to reality, life is still the same, and I think of it as a wonderful memory from time to time, why must I expect it? Why do you have to have it? Why would you torture yourself with something so fake?
