The Untold Secret is one such example.
On the first day of Xiang Lun's transfer to Tamkang Art Middle School, when visiting the campus with his classmates, he was suddenly attracted by a mysterious piano piece. Following the sound of the piano, he walked into an ancient piano room and found that the player was Xiaoyu, a beautiful and refined girl. Between the four eyes exchange, both sides have a subtle feeling.
Faint favor, with the sound of the piano flying and flying.
To be honest, after an hour of filming, I still think it's an ordinary youth idol drama. A common story: In an art school music class, two high school students fell in love with each other. The boys were handsome and the girls were beautiful. In addition, they both played the piano well. They were a match made in heaven. They were very suitable for youth idols. the framework of the play.
I even thought about the ending. The story of first love should not have a happy ending, it will always be a bit bitter. It can be imagined that Lu Xiaoyu's asthma was getting worse and worse, and he had to drop out of school and move to the countryside to recuperate with his dependent mother. Before she left, she didn't have time to tell Ye Xianglun. Ye went to Xiaoyu's house to visit, but the building was empty, so he had to go back in disappointment.
Unexpectedly, the film took more than an hour to turn around, and then the truth came out.
Xianglun came home and talked with his father about Xiaoyu, and suddenly realized. He ran to the school's music classroom, regardless of the fact that the workers had already started to demolish the building, climbed into the classroom, and played the song "Secret" at the fastest speed.
He finally came to the world of Xiaoyu 20 years ago...
Seeing this, I can't help but think of "The Unreachable Lover", which is also a story of chaotic time and space, and some similarities, so I dare not speculate here.
For me, the most appealing thing about The Untold Secret is the quietness from start to finish. Different from the usual lively singing and dancing with nunchucks, Jay Chou directed a very quiet movie: quiet and beautiful pictures, quiet and melodious piano sounds. There is also love, and there are ups and downs, but they all happen in silence. The story happened, but no waves were felt. The protagonist spoke softly and quietly, and he had to listen carefully. I think when many people watch it, they hold their breath like me, right?
Watching this movie is definitely a pleasure. The beautiful picture and the melodious piano music give the visual and auditory supreme enjoyment.
Let's talk about the screen first.
The characters inside are mostly students in school uniforms, black suits with white piping, a very beautiful logo on the chest, and white shirts. Always clean. Besides the background, the sea, windmills, wooden bridges, tropical trees, and classrooms shaped like churches were all included in the film by the director. Such a neat and tidy person, lined in such a vast and peaceful scenery, has no extravagance after looking at it.
I still remember that when Xianglun went to Xiaoyu's house, the camera stopped for a moment on a few small purple flowers. In fact, it should be a very common wild flower, but it can be placed in front of the camera, but it is so elegant.
I also like the scene where Xiaoyu sits dreamily by the piano and plays with Xiang Lun. Her body is wrapped in a veil that reminds the viewer of the mystery of the story.
Another feature of the film is the piano sound throughout. A beautiful, quiet and fresh love story, which opened slowly with the sound of the piano and ended with the sound of the piano. Everything is so natural. In the film, the part of Xianglun and Xuege fighting the qin is especially wonderful. I don't know the piano, but I will pretend to find a few pieces after the film and listen intently.
The characters in the film are very representative, let's not talk about the two protagonists, let's look at a few supporting roles.
Xianglun's father is a music teacher, and he is always inseparable from music. Two of his words could almost become famous. One is that people who don't listen to music are bad people; the other is that listening to music can make people quiet. In this film that can be called a musical, music is placed in the paramount position. Music cleanses people's souls, sweeps away irritability and evil, and leaves peace and goodness.
I wonder if the audience can remember the school cleaner, this is a character that cannot be ignored. Twenty years ago, he was young and healthy. Twenty years later, he changed his appearance: he could not speak clearly, his head was twisted, and one hand could not be stretched out, as if he was the aftermath of paralysis. But it is such a person, every time he hears Xiaoyu's piano sound, he will dance with excitement. Twenty years ago, he didn't let others bully Xiaoyu, and 20 years later, when he saw Xiaoyu running away, he knew she was sad.
This is a story about love, but also a story about music. When everything in the world is integrated into music, countless beautiful things have been achieved.
Many people commented that watching this film on a hot summer day can calm people's hearts, especially after watching so many noisy films. Then I watched it in the afternoon of this early spring, and the calmness of my mood is even more conceivable.
