I personally think that what a really good movie needs is not luxurious props, dazzling high-tech and outrageous boasting, but a story that will make you tempted, let you be stunned in a short period of time, and appreciate other people's stories in other people's stories. This kind of life resonates at the intersection of the two when they look at their familiar past. When a movie can bring us into this state, then it is an uncompromisingly good movie, and the so-called director, actors, investment, box office, and ratings are all floating clouds and not worth mentioning. One day near the end of the year, after watching the long-awaited movie "One Day", I became more firm with this personal opinion, because it brought me a heart-pounding touch.

There is no doubt that this is a love movie, Dexter and Emma, ​​the love of those years, the difference is that they chose a platonic love, after 20 years of entanglement, they are not together But they never give up, they have witnessed the vicissitudes of life, the ups and downs, the ups and downs, the ups and downs, and the joys and sorrows of each other's ordinary lives. Finally, they firmly believe that what they love is each other. Only Emma can ignite Dexter's talent, and only Dexter can give it. Emma's real joy is that the result of their "Plato" together in those years is not wasting, wasting, or missing, but growing up. They can confidently say to each other, "Only you know my world best".

The film presents us with the assumption that if you had a confidant of the opposite sex, what would your life be like every day of your life? When you want to put a person you can't let go in your heart, how much space is left for others?

Obviously, this kind of balance is extremely difficult to grasp. For ordinary people, after the physical body is satisfied, spiritual sustenance is particularly important, but the premise is that the physical body must be satisfied. In terms of energetic bodies, it is always present, especially when two handsome men and beautiful women who already have a good impression are on graduation night, after revelry, in drunkenness, in a fighting room, Dexter and Emma's love at first sight and one night stand. The trend is almost indistinguishable. And when they had embarrassment like the "laughing bed", they chose to choose rational communication and gave up passionate sex, and they became a pair of noble lovers, a pair of pure lovers, a pair who got rid of Low taste lovers, although they dress less, think more, and act more openly, but considering cultural differences and customs, their innocence is not inferior to Jing Qiu on the hospital bed and the third child's love of the hawthorn tree.

There is an innocent side in human nature, that is, spiritual craving, especially after the passion for physical pleasure burns out again and again, spiritual loneliness has no comfort, it will make people extremely lost and extremely helpless, so Plato Love is a high realm. It is not easy to enter this realm, and it is even more difficult to maintain this realm. No matter how unacceptable the other person's choice is in your heart, you must keep the sadness to yourself, take my blessings away from you, and, from now on, you will still be friends.

However, after all, in the end, the words of blessing each other have failed, and they can only bless each other. Although time is like a ruthless carving knife, it has changed their appearance and living conditions, but at the same time, it has also carved out the bright light of their love. The spiritual level of Sturt and Emma's communication is far greater than the physical level, and it truly reaches the realm of "destroying eternal sorrow with you". So since they are always hard to forget each other in the rivers and lakes, they can only help each other.

And when they choose to come together, before they have finished talking about tenderness, only Lige is left...

Emma's death, I think, is a necessity, not a realistic necessity, but an artistic need. When Dexter and Emma finished their emotional marathon, they also ended their platonic love. The prince and princess went through hardships and infatuation and finally came together and lived happily. The routine is the end of a fairy tale, and they have been in love for 20 years. Obviously it does not belong to this category, and more importantly, the two people who have been in harmony for many years have not been in harmony for a long time, and it is a relatively serious crisis. Emma's dream is to have a child with Dexter, and Dexter and his ex-wife also have a beautiful and lovely daughter, but they have never been able to be with her, and they are no longer graduates 20 years ago. If the story develops in this direction, the Platonic pure love that the author has painstakingly managed will quickly deteriorate and change its taste, so we can only follow the routine of burying the third child under the hawthorn tree, so that pure love can still float and not fall into the world.

But it is this cliché that elevates the Platonic innocence. People often understand how important what they have lost is after they are lost, and the best way to keep those memories of those years is not to forget them. Emma is gone, but Dexter still has Plato with her.
