The film showcases all of the American Dream in one piece:
careers in the billions,
soulmate love,
one-night stands,
road trips,
true love in an elevator,
a celebration of death,
the importance of family and loved ones.
Favorite first classic line in the whole movie:
If it wasn't for this, it'd be something else.
This reminds me of a line from a book in Yamamoto's thread:
"Let it be what you lose. Lose it, and I will find it all back."
It was this kind of arrogant, cute, free and sure courage.
The heroine comes with a healing halo of sadness.
This is the legendary "good girl".
Healing the sad hero.
Willing to be a substitute.
It's beautiful enough to make a map and give it to your favorite person.
But she's so pessimistic:
We are the substitute people.
I like being alone too much.
i will miss your lips and everything attached to them.
"I don't need an ice-cream cone. here's something that makes you happy. something sweet that melts in 5 minutes.
The male lead doesn't know how good she is.
"You kind of great, Clair. You didn't know that. sort of amazing."
im not used to girls like you.
You deserve a guy who says i can't imagine a world without you.
We will start a winery when we are 70.
We will snowboard every December, and one year take our kids.
We will always drive our twin Lexus.
The male protagonist understands the goodness of the female protagonist. how nice.
So they ended up together.
So there is no need to continue the story. Because "together" is the end.
But I don't think the two of them are true love.
After all, the heroine is inexplicably giving blindly, and
the hero is also a low point in life.
Although it is said to be based on the director's own experience,
I still think it is more fairy tale.
In contrast, I prefer the love between the male protagonist's mother and the father of West Point Military Academy.
Put aside the engaged lovers who originally thought they would be together for a lifetime, so desperate to be together.
Just for a glance in the elevator.
The part where my mother danced was also very touching.
Suddenly, I felt, God, there is true love at first sight in this world.
Then believe it.
I also believe.
Although not very likely to happen to me. But I always believe.
And it feels pretty good too.
At least.
I'm living in a world where true love exists. I
like the last classic line of the movie:
those who risk, win.
I think, what won should be nothing but
life itself.
