dare? dare

The movie starts with two beautiful shots.

Sophie, a Polish stray to France, is often bullied at school. The children threw her stationery box out the window and Julian showed up. He figured that Sophie, who had nothing precious, would love his candy box. He went up and took out the carousel image of the candy box, and Sophie smiled.
Julian said, "You want to share it with me. Will you give it back to me?" (555555, a child is a child)

Sophie asked him boldly, "If you really want him, prove it. Dare you not? !"

Julian ran onto the school bus without hesitation and activated the clutch.

A car full of children, without a driver, just moved forward slowly.

Sophie and Julian looked at each other, smiled, and ran into the distance holding hands. Leaving a group of crying children and drivers chasing cars in a hurry.

There is another shot that is impressive. Julian, who was beaten and scolded by his father at home, ran all the way to the downstairs of Sophie's house.

Julian shouted downstairs.

"How much is one seven? This is our game."
"How much is two seven? This is our game." "How much
is three seven? This is our game."

Philip.
"21! This is our game."
"How much is four or seven? This is our game."
"28! This is our game."
... The
two little heads are just like that, playing their own game. game, enjoy both.



The shot seems to be re-filtered by sunlight, shrouded in a soft gold, warm and penetrating. They played the game of "Dare? Dare!", dragged down the tablecloth at Sister Sophie's wedding, messed up the dinner, said in Chinese class that the teacher was a short and ugly old girl, urinated in front of the principal, and each other Lift up the clothes to show the other party... Afterwards, there is only one possibility, that is, Sophie was taken away by her sister, and Julian was dragged into the room by her father.



It went on like this until Papa Julian refused them goodbye. He always thought that Sophie and Julian were bored and took away his wife. He desperately hoped that Julian could leave the deviant Sophie, go to university and find a job, which is also worthy of his wife.



Sixteen years old, outside the library. Julian tries to get Sophie to say I love you, but Sophie forces Julian to speak first. The two remained stubbornly silent, resisting the affection that was no less than childhood in their hearts. Is love so hard to say? Or too young to bear the true and pure love. Thinking that there was still time to splurge, thinking that everything was still a game, Sophie got in the car, Julian rushed behind the car, and when he had the courage to say "I love you, I love you, Sophie", the car has gradually moved away . Sophie didn't see or hear, and it's been four years since we met again.



The story begins with a candy box, which is both a pledge of love and a bond between two hearts. Children's candy boxes are always in their hands and are their best treasures. As an adult, the candy box suffers a tragic fate from time to time. It is also the transition from friendship to love, from warmth to great destruction.

The candy box reappeared four years later on a dinner plate in a fine dining restaurant, and when it was opened by Julian, the first game of revenge in life began. Julian makes Sophie think that she is proposing to her, but finally tells Sophie in front of everyone to be Christel and his witness. The beautiful and generous Christel was wearing the same clothes that Sophie had touched four years ago, and the loving smiles of the two deeply stabbed Sophia. "You said I would never dare to hurt you. I dare." The

candy box was abandoned again and thrown into the sea.

From love to hate, it's just that - waiting for the phrase "I love you" with a lifetime of lies, if you can't wait, all the obstructions of the wedding chapel will be lost. Julian was so intense that he even thought of her death. Sophie, blindfolded, stood in the middle of the train tracks. The train was coming and going. Julian looked at her, but couldn't say a word. Sophia tore off the veil, leaving behind the game promise of "don't meet for ten years, dare you not", and left with a smile and tears.

Love to the extreme is hate. Only betrayal can remove the pain.


ten years. There can be many glorious ten years in life.

Julian went out in the morning, kissed his wife and children goodbye, and remembered the song "Rose Life" that Sophie sang on her mother's grave many years ago. You can do a lot and meet a lot of people in ten years. If you can't be with the person you love the most, is it just an unnecessary overlap of people and things that taste the same.

The ten-year appointment is coming, to end this fool's game, he wants to see her and beg her to stay.

The roulette wheel of fortune is never one-sided. Married to a top football star and living a luxurious life, "Mrs. Nimov Nemovich" has never forgotten her revenge ten years later. Sophie pretends that the mansion has been looted and calls the police in front of Julian. Damn Sophie, the game is on!

Not to be outdone, Julian smiled knowingly, broke the crystal cup left by Grandma Julian, and drove away.

This is the life you've been dreaming of for ten years - happiness in a pure state.

Very good. It trumps everything. Better than narcotics, cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens, better than gangbangs, sex parties, better than butter on peanuts, better than Luke's prophecy, the cataclysm of 2001, Marilyn Monroe, the dance of Stroffitt, Better than Laura Crawford, better than Jimi Hendrix, better than Armstrong's music, better than a gift from Santa, better than Bill Gates, better than the Dalai Lama, better than the lipstick on Pamela Anderson's lips, better than Rimbaud , Morrison's drug, better than freedom, better than life. . .


Julian responds to Sophie with a suspended car crash and a burnt candy box. He wants Sophie to grieve over his death, and then he'll forgive her, in a child's triumphant gesture. Only death can make Sophie feel the pain of being separated forever. They kissed each other in the heavy rain, and suddenly realized that the cruelty of the game had blinded each other's eyes.

"One last bet and never parted again. Dare?"

"Dare!"

By the end of the movie, I was freezing. No matter what kind of ending, the kiss stood in the pit filled with cement, and the endless love solidified. Or the old-fashioned Julian and Sophie holding a candy box and eating candy and sending a deep kiss at any time. I accept both.

The former is Pandora's Kiss, the latter is an old Cupid. Love and self-harm have always been linked. What others see is only destruction, but the people among them see the mad despair behind cruelty, all derived from love. Time is meaningless because death equals love.

Ask yourself, and ask your loved ones. do you dare?
Dare to run barefoot in the snow in the winter, and smash the glass window of a certain house with a snowball.

Dare to spit on the teacher who drew circles on the children's faces.

Dare to follow my naughty tune and follow my lead.

Dare to be brave to be a selfish person, lose your job, turn your back on morals, and run for a momentary dream.

Dare to look down on all the gossip and say I love you loudly on the street where people come and go.


Baby, I dare.
