When more than 50 films were released in April, we did not know the name of the flower we saw that day (hereinafter referred to as the flower), and this film was not very good. There are no novel settings, no high-profile gifts for the 10th anniversary, no popularity accumulated by the original novels or comics, just a faint growth there, waiting for the moment to bloom. When all the groups broadcast the first episodes one after another, and everyone's eyes were attracted by the light of a certain group's high-quality paintings, the buds of the flower also emitted a quiet silver light, quietly holding your hand and entering The season of blooming flowers. Yes, that flower is such a film. Before you know it, you will find that your atrium has been haunted by the threads of emotion, which are gently tightened every Friday.
The whole story is actually not complicated, and there is no suspense. Rentai, Mianma, Anaro, Xueji, Hezi, Bobo, six childhood friends, are now very estranged because of Mianma's sudden death. And Mianma, a childhood friend who died 10 years ago, suddenly appeared in front of Rentai, the protagonist who had become a squat at home, and asked Rentai to fulfill a wish that she did not know. And at the end of the first episode, the face of the big nerve shed tears in his own home and told his mother, who could not hear his voice, the fact that he already knew that he had died, and pushed the plot of the first episode to a climax. The suspense of whether Code really died has also come to an end. In the end, what we focus on is how Rentai helps Nianma find and realize her wishes.
Although there is no suspense in the direction of the plot, it has not detracted from the charm of the film. The reason is that the whole work itself is not characterized by plot twists. The most dazzling part of the silver brilliance is the delicateness. Delicate emotional rendering, delicate character depiction, delicate environment description, everything, just to bring the unique delicacy, quietness and power of that flower to the audience. Every detail and mirroring in the work can reflect the intention of the production team, as well as the emotions of the characters in the play. The fireworks take off in the Op and the helmet of Bobo who is riding a motorcycle is photographed next; the hat marked with じんた at the beginning of the first episode is dripping in the puddle, strongly implying that the protagonist Rentai has lost his share of the year Lively and enthusiastic, instead of squatting at home every day; after Rentai and Xuejichu are opposite, the street lights are on, indicating the coming of night and bringing a heavy atmosphere. In the second episode, the closing of the store and the opening of the home after shopping suggest Renta's attitude towards anaro and noodles; the early morning scene at the end shows that Rentai has started to regain her former vitality; the emergency stop of the tram sets off It is abrupt that Xueji confessed to Anaro for the first time; the red lights at the intersection of the second and ninth episodes respectively reflect the mood of Anaro and Xueji, and create an atmosphere of contradiction. The reason why Nian Ma can only write in her own diary is also because what she cherishes most is her relationship with several childhood friends. Only the diary at that time can tell Nian Ma's heart. In the final words, Mian Ma once talked to himself about hide-and-seek at Ren Tai's house, and in the end, the last common game between everyone and Mian Ma, farewell, was also hide-and-seek. And, of course, a big, well-placed inner monologue. These are just the clips that come to my mind when I think about it casually. If I watch it carefully, I think there must be countless excellent storyboards that set off the mood of the characters, or suggest the direction and rhythm of the plot. These, All are producers, especially the good intentions of the supervision. At the end of the speech, when everyone said goodbye to the face code in front of the tree, when the ed sounded, even my eyes were wet.
The rhythm of the whole work is also well grasped. Each of the 11 episodes has large and small touches and climaxes. No procrastination and no overstretching. From the beginning, under the influence of the face code, Rentai walked out of the house and began to meet all the former friends. It was not without loss that she said, "Everyone has changed, maybe it is me who has changed the most." Under Bobo's organization, Everyone has their own goals, and reluctantly gets together again, calling each other's names instead of nicknames, looking for the truth of whether the face code exists, and her wishes. From the time everyone thought they had found the wish of the face code, and also made fireworks for the face code with the same purpose, until the fireworks were lifted into the air, the face code did not disappear. So everyone reviewed and frankly told everyone about their state of mind. Finally, they faced the face code in their hearts and said goodbye to her together. Everything progressed so naturally, and at the same time, Chi Chi had its climax, and the words had their ups and downs. The only fly in the ointment is that in the last episode, everyone poured out their hearts to each other at the shrine, recognized themselves, recognized their emotions towards the code, confessed their selfishness and cried a lot, Renta pointed out that anaro false eyelashes fell off. This laugh made everyone burst into laughter. I find this episode a bit odd. The producer's intentions are easy to understand. After the confession, everyone regained the old end and emotions, so they decided what to do in laughter. But this rapid emotional transformation still makes people feel very abrupt and unreasonable.
In the summer of these 11 episodes, each character gradually revealed his own truth to everyone, exuding his own light. The portrayal of each character is obviously also worked hard. The drama capacity of 11 episodes, naturally, unfortunately cannot make everyone's performance come alive, but I think the basic things are still conveyed. Anaro is a girl with no opinion, which can be seen from her frequent changes of clothes and imitation of face size, going to socialize with two bad friends and easily leaving alone under the persuasion of strange men. But later, she gradually grew up, and in the conversation with Tsuruko, she also expressed her desire to grow and change. And Anaro's love for Rentai and the resulting love and hatred towards the code, as well as his inner contradictions, are all vividly expressed when he confesses to Rentai and at the end when everyone confesses; Tsuruko is a very intellectual on the surface. A very cold person, but her heart is actually full of enthusiasm, at least for Xueji. Even though he didn't like long hair, he still kept a shawl for Xueji, just because his face size was long. From the sixth episode, it can be clearly felt that she is the real her only when she has a ponytail and bid farewell to her long hair. At first I didn't understand why she was so harsh towards Anaro, but later I realized that unlike Anaro, what she has always been jealous of is not the face size, but the anaro, because she knows that she will never be as good as the face size, and anaro is the face size After that, the person closest to Xueji can also see that Hezi is actually very inferior; Xueji can actually be regarded as a representative of jealousy. From the very beginning, he played the "most negative" role in the play, He is tit for tat with Ren Tai everywhere, even at the risk of pretending to be Nian Ma, and all of this stems from his love for Nian Ma and his jealousy towards Ren Tai; Bobo is the most lively and cheerful person outside Nian Ma in this play, and when I first saw him Continuing to match everyone, I thought he was just set to be a cheerful and cheerful person. In fact, he also has his own reasons. Because I was always ridiculed for being useless when I was a child, I tried desperately to do something for everyone this time, and of course this excessive drive backfired at times. Although everyone has their own characteristics, what they have in common is escape. Yes, because of Mianma's death, everyone was sad, and then because of sadness and self-blame, they chose to escape, escape the fetters of the past, and even chose to escape together with Mianma. Everyone numbs themselves in their own way, and at the same time escapes from themselves together.
As the protagonist, Rentai is actually a prominent representative of the common feature of everyone - escape. Everyone is escaping the departure of their friends that day, and they are escaping the feelings in the heart of the opposite side. Ren Tai showed this most prominently. When asked about his feelings towards the opposite code when he was a child, Aojiao chose to run away after answering, but now instead of going to school, he squatted at home every day to numb himself by escaping from real life. And all this has been reversed after the appearance of the face code. On the surface, the face code is innocent and carefree, but in fact he cares about everyone. As Renta said, she always sheds tears for others and always thinks of others. Even the reason why she showed her existence to everyone at first is because she is afraid that everyone will think of herself again and be sad. It is such a face code, like the sun, that sprinkles light on the once super peaceful busters, and reunites everyone again. Taking a small wish as an opportunity and Rentai's efforts as a driving force, not only did everyone unite again, but Rentai himself also grew. He began to work hard and went to school. When asked again about his feelings towards Dian Ying, he frankly said that he liked it. Although he still planned to run away, he finally stopped at the door. The words on the clothes on the body, from the underground people choreographed a fight, to the last sincerity also hinted at this. Under the guidance and cooperation of the face code, everyone has grown up, been relieved, and finally regained the old fetters. The smile with tears on the last face must be the brightest.
If it is said that the fetters of everyone in the past, the fetters that seem to have passed away but have been picked up again, are the bright lines of this film, then family affection must be the dark line of this film. On the surface, Rentai's father did not pay attention to Rentai's family, but from the conversation with Rentai during the tomb-sweeping session, we could tell that he actually knew everything about Rentai's every move. This is the deep father's love. In the first episode, Mianma's mother's attachment to the deceased daughter was expressed. In the eighth episode, when everyone visited Nianma's house again, Mianma's mother showed anger and hatred, as well as her plan for making fireworks for everyone. The obstruction of his deceased daughter showed in another way. This kind of missing, it is family affection, is the love of parents. In addition, there is Rentai's mother. Although the late Rentai's mother appeared not many times, they all played a great role in connecting the different stages of the development of the plot. Even the real wish of the face code was agreed with Rentai's mother. In a few simple appearances, it also naturally expressed the maternal love of Rentai's mother. What I have to mention is that although family love is a dark line in this work, it has done a good job in handling it. The main line is well highlighted, and the family affection as a dark line holds up the whole work.
After watching the whole work, I didn't breathe a sigh of relief, nor did I have an epiphany. Some, just piled up little by little, were greatly moved. Every person in the play, every plot, and even every storyboard touched my heart. This is the charm of this film. Delicate viewing, delicate thinking, and then, delicate taste. Nagai Longxue, I remembered the name of another supervisor; I have not heard of the flower name, but I remembered a god-level work; I remembered all the past fetters.
We still don't know the name of the flower that bloomed that day, but in fact, it has been blooming in our hearts all the time, the flowers named friendship and family affection, the flower named Nian Code, in the never-fading flower summer.
