Hearts of Atlantis is probably the best chicken soup movie I've seen so far.
I always ask myself, what can the passage of time bring us, fame and fortune? Or freedom and independence, but the movie "Heart of Atlantis" tells us a person's nostalgia for his youth after middle age from the perspective of "loss". A down-and-out male protagonist with a disheveled face, even the little girl's daughter only knew that she was standing in front of her after hearing his self-introduction. She was the handsome man who was sitting on the Ferris wheel and kissed her actively as her mother once told her. Brave little boy.
The summer night in my memory is especially beautiful. As the little boy's soulmate Ted said in the movie: "A kiss can see everyone in your life." The little boy didn't owe the little girl a kiss, but time owed him and her a future together .
The whole movie tells the story of a down-and-out man Bobby, who attended the funeral of a friend Sally, and then heard the news that his first love, Kairou, had died early, and began to recall his 11-year-old years. teenage years. Memories are a very difficult thing. It is better to say that we are lonely, helpless, and afraid of death rather than being human. If reminiscences are good, then why do we recall very little until the age of 18, but the older we get, the more we miss the past? This may be the so-called growing pains.
The director of the film is not Han Han, and he is too lazy to go to the great achievements of the director of Baidu, but like a race car driver who made a road movie, I think it is also because the director had a fairy tale childhood that he made this surprisingly wonderful "Asian" The Heart of Trandis. When reading "Film Creation and Appreciation", the author said: "If the script is the skeleton and the actors are flesh and blood, then the director is the soul that dominates. The person you see is beautiful or ugly, tall or short. , depends entirely on the director's arrangements and feelings."
The pairing of the director and the script is far more important than the deliciousness of beer and fried chicken.
Memories began in the early morning of the little boy Bobby's 11th birthday. In terms of details, movies and literature may be the things that can best grasp the core of the story. When the little boy wakes up in the morning and draws a curtain on the glass window with his breath, and then writes the number 11, the core idea of the movie is actually It has been made clear: from the beginning to the end of life, no matter who we are with can only be a parallel line, or we come to this world, destined to be a personal journey. The one who left first was his soulmate Ted who was mysteriously taken away, then he separated from Kairou because of the move, and of course the one who really wrote in his suicide note many years later that he would leave his worn baseball glove to him Bobby's Sally.
This is a juvenile movie, but it has added Ted, a little fantasy old man, who appeared as a commentator for those who just watch movies for the sake of watching. His straightforward dialogue is extremely thought-provoking. "When you're young, you have a good time. Makes you think you're in a fantasy place, like the lost Atlantis. When you grow up, your heart will shatter in two.
" this paragraph. The little girl ventured into the bicycle shop bravely and wisely and bravely deceived the boy who wanted to buy the little boy's bicycle. Then the little girl smiled happily at the little boy standing on the street outside the window through the glass window. The background music "only you" has been playing, for clean love, that's enough. The little girl couldn't buy the boy's favorite bike, but she kept it the only way she could.
The end of the song is not unexpected. From the beginning of the movie, I knew that this is a movie that makes people sad after watching it. It's more romantic than "Those Years", more real than "You at the Same Table", and more than "Little Times"..., sorry, I'm naughty again. The ending is what I want to see. This kind of narrative gives the audience more space for nostalgia, and goes around the beam for three days. The male protagonist returned to reality again and returned to the old house to meet the little girl's daughter. Is the boyhood of middle-aged men over? Maybe not yet, because the little girl in front of him made him see Kairou, the little girl who used to sit on the Ferris wheel and steal a kiss.
