Watching the movie reminded me of this old trick, which is probably why I wasn't touched by the movie. It's like a small and fresh version of "Edge of Tomorrow", without the bloody killing that goes back and forth, but the daily routine of high school girls. And that's why I think it's worth watching - applying the techniques of sci-fi blockbusters to literary and artistic youth films, but it collided with a different feeling.
Back to the content of the movie, the heroine Sam died unexpectedly in a car accident, but found that she would keep waking up the morning of her death. From the changes in her struggle, she gradually discovered things that she did not realize on weekdays, and then had an epiphany and cherished this day of life. In seven days, she learned to get along with her family and spend time with them; learned to love someone who truly deserves her; expressed her feelings to friends; and finally, saved a girl's life. The heroine really did what the film's motto said "become who you are". When you are your truest self, you are the best you. This movie is a stomach-warming and nourishing chicken soup that can cheer you up when you are very sad. It's trying to find the good in every dark side, in every seemingly annoying thing. For example, the nerdy boy chased sam clingingly at first, but in fact he is a rare, dedicated and warm boy; for example, the slovenly little crazy Juliet, who is talented in painting and forbears for his friends; Cool girls also have armor that pretends to be strong... Of course, there is also the reversal that destroys the veil of beautiful things, not to mention more.
After the chicken soup, there is something about this film that I think can improve - there should be a reason for this reincarnation. Even if it is not scientifically explainable, it should be acceptable in human terms. For example, it emphasizes the regret of the heroine's ordinary day, and this regret has caused reincarnation, and there is a force that urges the girl to change... This will make the film more reasonable and well-founded. (I haven't seen the original, the bad reviews are just the movie) But fortunately, this movie is not HE, that is, the heroine can't escape this unexpected ending after all, but the mercy of God, in the case of multiple endings, give the girl a Opportunity to choose - sacrifices himself but saves friends and Juliet. (The ending one day in the middle is the tragedy of the death of five people...) This kind of setting gives the film rationality, but it seems to be more necessary. One of the explanations mentioned above is that God would be soft-hearted for no reason.
Also, Elody is so pretty!
