"There is still a chance to say goodbye" is a YA movie with elements of "time repeating". To be honest, such a theme is not new, but the script of this film is well written, and the character's mood changes are very reasonable. The inner drama of the heroine Zoyd District, the expressions and emotions are in place, enough to support the film, it is worth watching. Although it is a replay of the old tune, it does not have a charm.

The plot of this film is very simple. The heroine Zoyd wakes up every day, and it is a repeating day. No matter what she does, tomorrow will still repeat everything from yesterday. Since she is trapped in the same time and space and cannot find the reason, then the trend of the plot must be that the heroine begins to try different choices, trying to influence the outcome of everything. Therefore, the focus of this film lies in the changing mentality of the heroine, and the audience will expect her to change. First of all, she believes that once she makes different choices in events, it is possible to change the future development, and she can escape from reincarnation. At this time, her heart did not change, she just changed her external behavior and actively avoided "that car accident". , but found that even if she avoided the car accident, waking up was still a repeating day... This kind of torment made her state of mind enter the first turning point, she began to expose herself, give up on herself, exile herself, and do a lot of actions regardless of the feelings of others. , but in fact, this is just a disguised anger on others, which is of no help, causing her emotional breakdown. It happened that the male protagonist intervened at this moment, allowing her to let go of her guard and have a second thought change; Her transformation is positive and full of positive energy, and she begins to face all people and things seriously, so that the three relationships of family, friendship and love have been sublimated. Although this ending is very popular, it also represents the meaning of the film. It is easy to understand, and it is easy for the audience to know what the director wants to express.

(The delicate temperament of Zoeide District is quite suitable for YA movies)


Since it is a YA film, the topics discussed are usually no more than the three interpersonal relationships of family, friendship and love. If it is a fresh graduate, it may also include job hunting, but this film does not have the element of the workplace, but focuses on In terms of interpersonal relationships, the proportion is mainly based on friendship, supplemented by family and love. Friendship is the topic of discussion on campus bullying in small groups of girls, to understand the bully's mentality and the situation of the bullied; and love is to examine one's heart and find out one's true love, rather than stick to appearances Or popularity; in terms of family relationship, it is to repair family relationships and break down emotional barriers. To be honest, this film does not offer unique opinions on these issues. At best, it releases positive energy. Although it is conservative, it does not lose points. It conveys the truth to the audience truthfully.

(She has a lot of emotional release in this film, which can show her acting skills)


"There is still a chance to say goodbye" has nothing unique in terms of subject matter and issues, but it is quite realistic. The problems encountered by the heroine Zoyd in the film are also encountered by ordinary people in daily life. This is the good part of this film. The reasoning is easy to understand and close to life, and it does not sing high-profile. In addition, the fresh appearance of Zoe De District is very suitable for acting in YA movies. She has acted in "My Crazy Age" before, but there are not many scenes, so it is difficult to have the opportunity to show her acting skills, because "My Crazy Age" focuses on The time when men are fooling around, and in this film, she is the only one who has a lot of inner scenes, and the emotional interpretation is quite in place. Finally, it ends with a sonnet:

the heroine's best friend is a road sambo . She
doesn't concentrate on driving and just chats with her friends.
The result of a sudden car accident is very strange.
She is trapped in a repeating day and can't escape,
since she knows the follow-up Every minute and every second,
I decided to try to change the ending to make the ending better, but I found it was
useless and could only smile bitterly, so
my temper became irritable . , In the end, the heroine had an epiphany to show her noble sentiments. A girl said that there is no regret medicine in the world, and every minute and second can't be repeated, so don't waste it.
