It is counted as one series with "Land Dreams of the Covered Bridge", "The Letter in a Bottle" and "Notebook". There are not many people in the evening show on weekends, there are fewer such films, and there are friends from another department. It is time to change the name to the postgraduate special. It's a bit too much to call it a drama, a somewhat sensational "Reader's Digest" adaptation. The location is outerbank in North Carolina, which is familiar. The male and female protagonists are presented in the same old-fashioned way as the problem male--meeting--low tide--acquaintance--passion--separation--love--redemption--sublimation. The two perform well, B+. At the end, the crowded place was full of sighs. Romance movies have always been difficult to attract high sensation seekers like me, and they are basically used for lunch or hypnosis movies.

From the perspective of entertainment psychology theory that has been entangled recently, the reasons are as follows (forgive me for not being Chinese and not English again, I have searched the dictionary for a long time and can't find the exact corresponding word in Chinese - try my best to not have a spill plot): Although the location is in the outerbank of North Carolina, the sense of distance in space produces a small amount of location involvement. However, one of the characters is a separated middle-aged mother and the other is a divorced old father, who lacks the relevance or similarity of life culture and age, which is not enough to cause character identification (and vice versa). Although the relationship between the two is sensible, it is somewhat out of touch with conservative middle-class values/or my cultural values ​​as an audience, so the hero must make up for it at a great cost to win the audience's sympathy to increase his evaluation of his value. However, the 30-minute plot in the second half is too predictable, and the daughter's growth is used to compensate for the regret of the absent male protagonist. However, according to the affective disposition, that is, I hope to see the reunion of good people and good rewards at the end, the expectation for the ending twist (whether good or bad) is somewhat disappointed (like stepping on a sponge that is not so thick), resulting in The resource backfire accumulated by reluctant heuristic processing for a long time. In addition, the understanding of the actors themselves also somewhat affects the acceptance of the plot. Richard Gere will not say more, just the role of the heroine's husband is the classic big face in law and order-svu. And there was also a teenage daughter in the rebellious period in that play. This kind of similarity led to the loss of a lot of mental resources to accept him as a cheating middle-aged man here, and he and other actors did not perform well. Outstanding, no matter how you look at it, you are reciting lines. Last but not least, the chairs in the theater rattled as soon as I moved, and I ended up with a stiff neck and physical discomfort that made it impossible to fully transported.

There is still a small discovery: there are four people calling in the film, and they all seem to use the Moto Razor that has been bad for the film and television screen in the past two years, but the colors are different. I don't know if this product placement is effective. But looking at the sad face of the classmates, he didn't dare to spoil the scenery.
