On the surface, "Booming Heart" is just a teenage love drama like "Twilight", and it is also about the love affair between young men and women: the girl Julie has a crush on the boy Bryce who lives opposite the house from the beginning, Attracted by his blue eyes, Bryce hated the girl from the start. With the development of time, Julie recognizes Bryce's ruthlessness in being hurt again and again, and at the same time Bryce slowly feels Julie's difference... In "Twilight" even In youth idol dramas like "Summer's 500 Days", the hero and heroine fall in love with each other for no reason. When they come together, they can only say that this is "meant to be", that kind of life and death is like a flower that looks beautiful, In fact, it is artificial cultivation, soilless cultivation. In "Heartbeat", you will see how love grows and germinates in the hearts of two people, how lesions occur, and how it is renewed. The two sides go back and forth in their relationship, like adding branches and leaves to the green trees in the painting. The trees are plump and real every day, exuding a fresh and beautiful atmosphere.
The film is about the love of a teenage boy, and the perspective is actually from an adult - just like the director's "Walk With Me" before. This heart-pounding love is not naive because of the protagonist's youth (although very young and charming), it is responsible and deep. It's not just love at first sight, the heroine Julie has a crush on teenage Bryce from the beginning, but she never falls in love blindly. Julie's little heart is constantly reflecting on herself, knowing her lover, and weighing the difference between herself and secular values and views on love; Bryce's change from disgust to love is also very delicate and real, and she did not make ordinary romance films. very dramatic treatment.
Rob Rayner's films have always been less technical, but he is best at telling love stories in polyphonic narratives from both genders, "When Harry Met Sally", "Alex and Emma" "It's all like that. This time, "Booming Heart" has used this form of opposite narrative and double-line narration to the extreme. The originally simple story has become rich and interesting from the completely different perspectives of boys and girls.
The only regret of the film is probably that the girl Jolie's character is not beautiful and charming, far less attractive than Bryce - not without charm, so maybe we can pay more attention to the inner beauty of this character. It's like sitting on a tall plane tree in summer, watching the fields, roads, and the sun in the distance, and letting the breeze blow on your sideburns. It is a kind of pure beauty, wordless, invisible, and incapable of being conveyed. Only when you are here will you be moved.
