The wall of Jericho is falling, let it fall

Apart from the classic sections of innovative value that this film contributed to future love dramas: the two bed spacers, the bride escaping marriage, etc., the most moving scene in the whole movie is that the male protagonist cheats the detective and takes the female protagonist's collar. When the detective just left, the male protagonist squatted down while talking and laughing and buttoned the female protagonist earnestly. The whole set of movements was natural, gentle and gentle. Without any pre-contrast and close-up shots, it is a very natural scene, and no turning points are deliberately arranged. I haven't seen such a detailed and natural plot in a love movie for a long time. This is what a love movie should look like. Only when the emotions that are integrated into every subtle action are revealed naturally will it really move people. The light and shadow of the whole film are also very beautiful, especially the scene where the male protagonist carries the female protagonist across the river. The sun hits the characters, the grass and the water. Not only is the water sparkling, but the whole picture is covered with traces of light , harmonious and agile, full of dreamy colors, and the precious thing is that this dreamy color does not rely on powerful post-production special effects, and the real light and shadow effects are dreamy but not illusory. Seeing such a real and rare picture after watching a lot of special effects in a large film, I also feel fresh and unforgettable.
