God will take the best things around us to remind us of how much we get. ——"Four Feather"

i wear the wrong dress.
Ann's beautiful dress is always pressed at the bottom of the box, and it is only taken out on important occasions. Like the love in her memory.
what is your life?
my life is full filled with wastes and failure.
I should have sailed with them. I should get into that boat.
Why is Doraemon's time machine so tempting? People always feel that some things were done less than perfect in the past, or that the best part was missed. Ann regretted that she didn't go out to sea in Buddy and Harris' boat that day. Love might start earlier, and the story might be different.
Ann is us, we are Ann.
However, sometimes it is a skirt, sometimes it is reserved, and sometimes it is a misunderstanding.
I just texted you after watching the movie, just to tell you what I really think, just don't want to miss somebody anymore and lie in bed sad alone.
Maybe the story will not change because of this, and life gives more surprises than movies. But at this moment, I became brave, "what should be mine will always come, even if it is a challenge, I will not go away".

Buddy is an interesting character, he loves deeply, but forbears. His free and easy appearance made many girls misunderstand his heart. His indifference is just to cover up his enthusiasm. His indifference is just a prop. He is the loneliest person. It reminds me of the male protagonist in broken flowers, the melodious female voice in the dark room, no TV, no woman, only withered flowers and him who is dying. In the face of love, we are all naive children, tugging at the corners of our clothes crampedly, playing with our little temperament, not knowing what to say.
Girls in love love romance, so Harris's star argument beats Buddy's crumpled note. In my opinion, that note is a beating heart, so real, so simple. Desire to be accepted and fear of rejection. Why is true love so hard to export? For fear of having nothing. Although he was equally annoyed at Buddy who disappeared after jumping off the cliff, although for a moment he felt that Ann's yelling at him was reasonable, but when he slowly thought about it, he realized that the two were not in the same world at all. Why did I want to kiss but didn't kiss, why didn't I want to hold the hand, is it really because Buddy is weak? That's just a way of loving, but it can never be called cowardice. This shows how important personality is in the relationship between the two parties. Ann with type A personality can never understand Buddy with type C personality. From that perspective, it's a good thing they're not together.

In my opinion, Harris is the weak one in love. There is no trace of his feelings for Laila in the film. Buddy said that his sister couldn't be with him because of her status. I believe this. And his refusal on the eve of the bride's wedding doesn't fully indicate that he really has no intention of Laila. To be sure, his affection for Ann, and it seems that he is acting bravely, is to Ann's taste. After Buddy's accident, he evaporated. I think maybe most viewers will find it natural. But, let's just assume that it was Harris, would Buddy just let her go, and one day, decades later, say to Ann that it's my wife and child, but I still remember ours Star. False can. For Harris, there is a lot of responsibility. Responsibilities of servants, duties of friends, duties of fathers and husbands. He won't be as free and easy as Buddy, nor will he have such a deep understanding of love.

I don't know why I watched the movie, but I was thinking about the Chinese Dream of Red Mansions. Harris is Xue Baochai and Buddy is Lin Daiyu. Weird. Seeing someone compare it to the hours makes me feel a little underwhelmed. The hours are profound, enough to reminisce for 3 months.
PS: I really like the part about the stars, because the North Star appeared. It is my coordinate, bright and shining.
