Lara or friendship?

When I see this kind of weird movie, I can't help but write something.
In the process, I felt that it was the director's debut, and then it really confirmed my guess. It's because some places still appear young and contrived.
The debut is always like this, lively but difficult to mature. Just like adolescence.
Three girls, one thin and thin, one plump and gorgeous, and one fat and bloated. Really complete types. The first time Mary saw Francis, she was overwhelmed by her beauty. Anna dreamed that Prince Charming would fall in love with her fat girl. There is a somewhat ambiguous and somewhat intimate friendship between Anna and Mary. And although Florence seems perfect, she also has troubles. She wants to get rid of her virginity, but she doesn't want to really have a relationship with a boy.
It's really strange that the director chose such a strange combination of these three girls.
When watching a movie, pay more and more attention to the beginning. At the beginning of this film, I gave her a high score, but I found out later that, like "Deep Sea Searching", the highlight of the whole film is only at the beginning. However, this movie is much more brilliant than "Man in the Deep."
"Daffodils Bloom", this translation is very strange. In my cognition, narcissus is a special kind of flower, perhaps influenced by Greek mythology, narcissus represents narcissism. Mary, a flat-chested girl who couldn't be thinner, fell in love with a beautiful and confident girl, Florence, and it seemed to me to fall in love with a mirror image, a mirror image that she longed for in her heart. She loves not herself, but her ideal self. This contains admiration and admiration, so the disillusionment of mirror images cannot be tolerated. When she broke up with Francis, she thought her love had come true, and when she kissed Francis, she finally realized that what she loved was just an illusion. This seemingly perfect girl is not holy as she thinks, but is really a dissolute person.
Florence's solo dance is very meaningful, about two minutes of footage, just her solo dance, so intoxicated, so satisfied. She does not refuse the pursuit of men, but she refuses the depth of men. Perhaps she is the narcissus who loves herself alone.
As for Anna, she finally had a relationship with Prince Charming, and after a long-cherished wish, she ran to Mary's room and gave her first kiss. What exactly is Anna and Mary's relationship?
In recent years, there have been many "Lala". Girls love girls, and girls can love boys at the same time. I don't believe that there are so many bisexuals in the world, so these girls who love both girls and boys, I am afraid that they are too deeply influenced by film and television, thinking that this is fashion and freedom. Relationship is a difficult thing. It is very sacred to be sure that you are in love with someone. How can you be so casual?
This "Daffodil Blossom" is very ambiguous, and the feelings are unclear. It is between friendship and love, and it is uncertain. In my opinion, the director exaggerated after all. There is possessiveness between friendships, but they can still be clearly distinguished from love. We all experienced same-sex possessiveness in our adolescence. Simply put, when I saw my good friend approaching another girl, and when she was so close, she would ignore me, then I would feel uncomfortable, and even have feelings for that girl. Emotions of jealousy and resentment. But the difference between friendship and love is that the final outcome of friendship may be that all three girls become good friends, and love must choose one or the other.
My conclusion is that most of the "lala's" nowadays are narcissism, falling in love with the mirror image of themselves, and falling in love with the self-believing beauty, but in fact it's just a kind of degenerate and distorted friendship.

Water Lilies quotes

  • Marie: Who cares about being normal?

  • Marie: The ceiling is probably the last thing most people see. For at least 90% of people that die. For sure. And when you die, the last thing you see is printed in your eye. Like a photo. Imagine the number of people with ceilings in their eyes.

    Floriane: Ceilings will never seem the same.
