Netflix actually has this movie, and the update is so timely! The story is of course well shot. The introverted but fierce Chinese girl has a Mulan-style sassy, she is definitely a 'cool girl' that foreigners like, but she is regarded as a 'moron' because of her looks and ethnicity. Director Wu cleverly uses the half of it as a metaphor, which not only represents the boys and girls who work together to 'suck up girls', but also represents the ignorance of love when love is budding. love is not patient, kind and humble. love is messy, horrible and selfish and bold. Looks like she finally got it, half messy and half bold... this is probably the least gay movie ever, everything The strong winds, torrential rains, and the undercurrents were all held back by the natural forbearance and silence of Asians, but the final kiss was the best explanation for this relationship. But what moved me the most in the movie was that the best train was moving, the part where Ellie left, after waiting for a long time, one second, two seconds, ten seconds, the boy finally caught up. Ellie once laughed at the kinda trite in the movie chasing the train in the movie, but Paul told him that it was to show that he cared.... At the end of the film, it was an echo back, and it also let the girl know that if she really cares , needs to be expressed. This is the first time I have seen stories of Asians being integrated into white society as a focal point (I have seen Asian-American films before, but more interactions are still within the Asian-American group. It is strange that they are clearly living in it. But their connection with the white society seems to be disconnected. Director Wu is really good. The isolation and alienation struggle of Asians in European and American society deserves to be focused. She makes this voice conveyed in a way that can be accepted by the mainstream. A kind of out of circle.
