Another movie based on the best-selling novel. The film queen Hilary Swank took a picture of this series of novels and acted as a producer to make them into movies. When you see the title of the book, you will think of the oral tradition of marriage in the West: something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. This story revolves around borrowed. borrowed lover.
Rachel and Darcy are best friends and sisters, Dex is Darcy's fiancé, and Ethan is Rachel and Darcy's childhood sweetheart male friend.
The story begins with the scene where Darcy helps Rachel to celebrate her birthday. The heroine is overwhelmed by the scene where Darcy is playing the lead role, she is constantly showing off about her marriage with her boyfriend, and how she knows the hero through herself. of. From the beginning, we seem to see that the male and female protagonists are actually the destined couple.
Later, when the male and female protagonists could finally get along with each other in an accident, Rachel got drunk and finally plucked up the courage to express her feelings for Dex since college, only to realize that Dex has always loved her. That night, she became a junior like that. However, there is a contradiction in her heart. She wants to take into account friendship, but love is what she always wants. Friendship and love are intricately intertwined, and what's more, Ethan finally confessed his feelings for Rachel over the years "I have always loved you, and whenever you marry someone, I love you more; my love is not overwhelming. fierce. Whenever I fall in love with a person, I will only drink rose grape champagne silently, and watch "The Handwritten Love" alone. '. Faced with such a chaotic relationship, Rachel chose what she really longed for - love.


The plot of the movie is not that good. But looking at the overall backbone, those who have experience may feel it. In that year, the men and women who had been infatuated with, missed each other because they didn't say it, and finally, at the moment before marriage, I finally found that the person I loved the most was the one who didn't say it back then. Going around in circles, in the end, when we meet again, we fall in love again.
Putting aside any morality and personality, the whole film is viewed with perceptual thinking. Maybe you will find a scene that you have experienced, and then see these two people who have missed each other because of their cowardice, and finally face their own. Feeling, after fighting for love bravely, you are really lucky to be together like that, you will sigh to yourself, facing your true desires and pursuing your true love, everything will not be too late.
Many people say that the male and female protagonists are bad people. But in fact, putting aside the usual morals, think about it if it wasn't for this pre-marital affair, Darcy might have been with someone who didn't love her that much, and maybe she wouldn't find out that she didn't love Dex that much either. Sometimes the relationship is really a bit selfish, but which one is your happier lifestyle, then choose which one.
"Life is all about finding a way to be with yourself for a long time. ” ——Lin Yifeng


asked me to make a brief summary:

Someone once said, “Why did you never tell me? ’
In fact, maybe he was just like you at the time, afraid to open his mouth and you would refuse.
However, I am afraid, the final ending may not look back at each other like the movie, and there will be impulses to fall in love.
Advice: If you love it, confess it. Life is really not a movie, it is not so beautiful, and the ending is usually a stranger. Then he sighed.
