At the beginning of the film, it was recorded in the form of video recording the scene of four good friends graduating together. With a rough sense of the lens, some very interesting content was recorded. What they said was not deliberately showing off, and I was surprised at the scale of the conversation, so that I could talk about myself, my family, and the future so generously.
Unexpectedly, this is a very important way of expression, throughout. Recording Troy eating brownies, you can see that he and Lelaina are so intimately close; recording Vickie's process of testing whether he is HIV-negative or positive, in the coffee shop they often go to talk about "we die alone" I still agree with the dialogue of "Sam's freely confessing his sexuality", so I thought he was joking for the camera. and many more. Lelaina just didn't record her boyfriend Ben. He has a good temper and loves her very much. Although the meeting was terrible, on the night they confirmed their relationship, Ben handled the relationship much better than Troy, and ran away without sleeping.
In the second half of the film, these materials recorded by Lelaina were almost released as a work. Like the female protagonist Lelaina, how could we expect that the video material that was taken seriously but was edited by the "first-class team" introduced by Ben into a fragment of ghosts and animals, Reality Bites, ready to be shown on TV, so that the public can learn something funny instead of Deep thinking. At the time she thought that this work would turn her into a successful person from an unemployed person. (Reality Bites even secretly inserted the "sponsor" Pizza Hut's hard public hh.)
When Lelaina was 23 years old, because she was dissatisfied with the old-fashioned and boring work of the TV host in her unit, she deliberately prepared the wrong reminder words for him, so that she lost this fairly good job. The process of finding a job was tightly and realistically filmed. Without income, parents cannot provide substantial help. At this time, the helping hand extended by the boyfriend is really a weapon to cheer her up. Unexpectedly, the work was not presented in the ideal way, and the love was broken because of this.
It’s not so frustrating to lose love/falling in love with one’s good friends/good friends. This is no better than unemployed. On the day she lost her job, when her good friend Vickie asked her to temporarily work at Gap, a fast-moving clothing store where she was the manager, she even made a point of injury.
She may successfully have a second decent job in the future, perhaps relying on her own strength to edit the things recorded during her youth into works worth watching. What is certain is that the film finally shows the transformation of the actor Troy. He Wearing a suit that he had never worn, appeared at the door of Lelaina's house, apologized and said that he loved her. But after time, she found that she could continue to love him without any complaints. The film ended with joy.
Will the worries she had when she collapsed come true in the future? Maybe never again. But I am still worried:
This film, released in 1994, has struck me from various dimensions after 27 years.
