Perhaps it was the magical performance of the girl, or the director's intentional arrangement. The whole movie always gives people a state of being rather quiet, like an old-fashioned feature film, with no extra colors, just ordinary black and white, bringing the audience to the scene. It is endless enjoyment.
The entire film was shot in a recorded way, but the cleanliness of the picture is as simple as the story, and the same irreplaceable cleanliness depicts what happened between two young people in this small town of Sumos. common and memorable story. It's just the story of these two teenagers, and it's everyone's story. Everyone has such a stage, but the director simplified it into a story of two or several people. There are some people in there, some people that make you feel inexplicable, and inexplicable stories.
At first, every scene feels like it must be a documentary, but when you look closely, the picture is always still, and the stillness makes everyone move from the left to the right of the shot, almost every shot is like this, and then the next A picture, and it seems that two teenagers walked into the picture, after this incident happened, and then the next incident. It's not going through the motions, it's not deliberately set, it feels very natural and beautiful.
This is a beautiful town, just like other small towns abroad, everything experienced happens slowly in the ordinary, and then everyone walks over, and something happens, but some are unbearable and interesting. The thing is, this movie doesn't mention too much of the past, but more about portraying and describing reality. This is a very clever way of doing it, from the language of the camera, so that every viewer can feel a little bit of something that belongs to everyone. It seems to be said that there is a spirit interspersed in it, and this spirit includes everyone's thoughts in it. The director has a good grasp of the subtle emotions of the audience, and imitates the subtle emotions of the audience with a very unique perspective and the deep interpretation of the actors.
Is this a sad movie? Just a few. However, if you don't watch it carefully, the audience will not find such subtle emotions. For example, when Mark and Tomo were having a spree and were discovered by Mark's dad, there was only a slight emotional change in his dad, and a painful struggle could be seen in his dad's actions.
I don't know if it is appropriate to use adventure as the label of this movie, maybe it would be more appropriate to use ignorance, youth, and hiding as the label of this movie.
After each shot is another little story, a little story that was accidentally discovered, and then, life has to go on and on its mysterious journey. No one knows what the next thing will be, or where the next time will be.
When, in the few minutes of the end of the film, there is a burst of color footage, that is, after they go to Paris to find the girl, it seems that their friendship is so pure that it makes every audience feel a little ashamed. At this time, I really admire the director. Obviously, the director wants to express a concept similar to "this world is beautiful". But what about after Paris? Who knows the story after Paris?
Maybe the next story will be staged in many Sommers towns, and then each protagonist will play another story.
