After many years, I looked back at the movies that I watched no less than ten times. In fact, I just like cookies and stories of being rescued. But in the current context and own experience, there are still some objections.
The setting of the male protagonist is a very typical image of a popular male god (high school grass + rugby player), his family and friends have set a future path for him, he will enter USC as an athlete, and he will join the cheerleading school flower group cp... But He himself actually wanted to go to Princeton to read literature, and he didn't dare to tell his family. He only met the heroine in the online chat room, and he wanted netizens to show up. In fact, the male protagonist does not respect the female protagonist very much in the whole movie, except that the plot has to set up "the two protagonists have met each other several times before and after the prom. I can't recognize the heroine's intellectual plot, which may also reflect the side of the heroine's identity, the male protagonist is more concerned about her being the object of his talk, so he did not seriously remember the appearance of the female protagonist. After the male protagonist and the female protagonist met at the dance party, he always wanted to find the female protagonist, and told the people around him that he had feelings for the female protagonist, but after the female protagonist's identity was exposed in an embarrassing and insulting way, the male protagonist never He never thought of taking the initiative to communicate with the heroine, and only watched with a sad face that the heroine was criticized by the whole school, and he did not see that he had shown infatuation and care for the heroine on the Internet and at the dance before. The male protagonist and the female protagonist regained their strength in the company of friends, and only after giving an ultimatum to the male protagonist in the locker room did they wake up. And the main idea of the heroine's last line in the whole movie is: I live happily with him, who knows if it's a lifetime, after all, I'm just a freshman!
This is a very interesting ending. When I watched it, I would imagine what the future college life of the two would be like, and even wanted to see the sequel, and subconsciously hoped that it would still be HE. Now it seems that if there is a sequel, it is completely conceivable to see a story that fits the Hollywood type of movie. For example, from the perspective of the disparity in the status of boys who are very popular in high school while the female protagonist is not interested, after entering a higher education institution, you may judge the hero based on her achievements, and you may discover more attractive points in the female protagonist and become a popular person in the university. Follow-up stories The identities of the two people have been completely exchanged, and a story similar to the PG-13 version of normal people has come. Or the female protagonist discovers a wider world after entering the university and experiences the awakening of female consciousness, but the male protagonist is no longer attractive to her. She goes out to try new relationships and discovers a new self, and the two gradually part ways. Or maybe the male protagonist is not as good as he expected in the field of literature, and he hits the wall everywhere. He was timid in the past, and he still wants to return to his original comfort zone, and finally set up a typical middle-class American family composed of athletes and cheerleaders. Or maybe the male and female protagonists have been in love with each other during the college years, and they have really achieved the ups and downs together and finally got married, but what will it be like to enter the workplace and married life, it is a series of unknown divergences. In short, if you think about it this way, it is true that simple love is more likely to occur during the campus period, and the more possibilities for the future, the further away you are from the original family-friendly youth movie genre, just like from "Titanic" to "Revolutionary Road", the more realistic more broken. Sometimes it is still necessary to use the function of movies to create dreams and escape from reality, and the world needs a certain amount of cookies.
