"Let's watch something."
"What to watch?"
"Heartbeat is pretty good."
"What do you say?"
"A girl likes a boy..."
"No, I don't want to watch romance movies." "Actually, it's not a romance movie
, it's a very young girl..."
"No, no."
"It's pretty good."
"Is there a plot introduction?"
I thought it was a domestic or Hong Kong and Taiwan idol drama. So, I got a little bit interested.
So we searched it from the Internet (you have to search it from Baidu Video, and the direct search of the video website is an Indian musical). After only ten minutes of watching it, I was hooked.
At this time, my cousin's wife came over and asked us, "What are you watching?"
"Heartbeat."
"I hate watching romance movies the most."
"No," I said, "This is not a romance movie. It's a youth movie."
This is really not a love movie, this is a kind of small freshness that cannot be classified. In fact, the characters in the film are very typical. Not pretty but a character next door girl, a handsome and reserved middle-class boy, a wise grandfather, a shallow school girl. The poor family has a kind-hearted father and a virtuous mother. Although life is difficult, they are very loving. The rich family has a ruthless, prudent and very mean father. Although the life is rich, the family is cold and lifeless. But none of these typical characters tell you directly through blunt language, but rather through mental activity, body language, and situational dialogue. So a character is vivid and vivid, just like a character in life. This film uses a very novel narrative technique, showing different narratives of the same plot in parallel from the perspectives of boys and girls. It's dramatic, expressive, and cleverly designed so that everything is said twice, but it doesn't feel dragged on. This is the movie I have longed for for a long time. If I would give 4 stars under normal circumstances, after being poisoned by domestic blockbusters, I will give 5 stars without hesitation.
I like to watch warm movies, and I feel very happy and hopeful after watching them. Chinese movies (or those so-called Chinese blockbusters) now seem to be following the pattern of model dramas, and even if the theme is presented with depth, this kind of "abstraction" that lacks flesh and blood is always unpleasant. In fact, I just want to see the joys, sorrows and joys of people in reality, and how normal people love, worry, and face the hardships of life. I have always been the lowest-level movie audience, and the simple sense of substitution impresses me the most. Ordinary, not necessarily not wonderful. One doesn't have to be extreme to be dramatic.
