"Five Feet Heaven" is one of the few youth romance films I've seen. As an old boy who is running fast, after watching "Love First" at home, he had the urge to rekindle his passion for love. With this kind of favorable impression of love films, he went to the cinema to "privately" watch "Five Feet of the World".
Unlike youth romance films with realistic "missions" such as "Youth in Youth" and "Send You a Little Red Flower", "Five Feet of Heaven" focuses more on youthful love. I think it does a good job, even in the setting of a special disease (absolutely no social mapping), it allows me to enter the emotional world of the characters; even if the plot is unsuspenseful and quite bloody, but its focus, It really got me hooked.
One, love at first sight
Love at first sight is the usual way of writing youth films. After all, the whole film revolves around the male and female protagonists. If there is no relationship between the first side and the heart, then the later feelings are purely driven by plot logic, which is actually unreasonable for youth films. Of course, the "love" of love at first sight can be understood in many ways, not necessarily love, but also hate. Many films also turn from hate to love. The love at first sight in this film is love. Although it is too smooth, it is difficult to attract audiences who control the plot, but it is a very safe act for youth films, because this kind of surging affection is what affects the audience. Intrinsic motivation - everyone knows that the two sides have a good impression of each other. How to break the estrangement and come together is the process that everyone is most looking forward to and has the most sense of substitution. Audiences who like youth films should like to see such two people making a small awkwardness while walking towards the end and bravely confessing.
2. Abuse
Abuse is the standard of youth films. Youth films always leave an abusive ending. Maybe it will not develop into a tragedy, but it is already the best solution to "face reality". Maybe youth is inherently flawed, maybe youth is suitable to hide in memories, maybe... .... Those who have tasted the bitterness of youth and those who desire to taste the bitterness of youth will understand.
4. Even the blood of the dog should be splashed at a high level - the supporting role changes the fate of the protagonist
The film is definitely revolving around the hero and heroine, which means that all the supporting characters are tool people. But Poe is a high-level existence among the tool people. He plays the most basic role in promoting the plot, and is the lubricant and indirect driving force in the emotional conflict between the male and female protagonists, and even changes the life trajectory and life trajectory of the protagonist-Poe uses his life The climax of the second act is written, and the heroine has a view on disease, life, and a reversal of life values, so that the hero and heroine of the third act finally traveled five feet away and experienced the climax moment of the only love. What's more advanced is that this step is not taken out of fearlessness or disrespect for life, but on the contrary, to save the people you love deeply. Based on this special disease, whether it is actually saved or not, it is a "tram problem" for Will and the audience. However, this film gives a double perfect answer, regardless of life for love and desperate for life, in this situation, they are not contradictory to each other.
5. Some small suggestions - Will's appearance is sloppy
Really sloppy! Stella passed by the new patient Will's ward, stayed for a while, saw Will's friends (a man and a woman) throwing dog food on the bed, and then shook her head and left. Will happened to see Stella and followed her up to the neonatal care area, where the two started chatting up.
First of all, Will's appearance is obviously sloppy. The creators connected this scene with the opposite scene of the encounter, leaving no impression on the audience about Will, and even letting him follow Stella and meet it is inexplicable. In contrast, Stella's appearance is very good. From the "turn" of the scene (actually there is no scene change) to the transition of the atmosphere to the audience enough shock. There is also Stella looking out at the couple through the shutters of the ward (like iron fences for patients). The lights in the distance not only reflect Stella's inner desire for a normal life, but also pave the way for the following plot. If Stella's appearance is counted as tidying up the medicine cart, then her character is also fully expressed, and this character is precisely the logical basis for her continued connection with Will.
In fact, it would be much better to add a scene to Will's appearance. For example, he is good at comics, and he is new to the ward, and he is frustrated with the resistance to the ward (including the lack of confidence in the beginning of treatment) and can't help, so he can make comic sketches on the hospital bed in his coat and leather shoes, and crumple the draft into a mess Throwing it on the ground, Stella happened to pass by the door at this time, picked up his mourning comics, opened the paper ball to take a look, crumpled it again, took it away, and closed the door. This gives Will enough reason to catch up with Stella, and makes the pre-conversation more tense, making the conversation more twisty.
