's "That Year, The Girl We Chased Together" and "The Little Thing of First Love" are both well-received youth love films recently. They vividly depict the unforgettable first love stories of the protagonists. Both films were directed by male directors. The Nine Swords of That Year uses a male perspective, while First Love, from a female perspective, delicately depicts the delicate psychology of a girl when she has a crush on a boy. "A Little Thing About First Love" achieved a remarkable box office in Thailand, and also created a whirlwind of small freshness in China. It is even more popular with the rare mixed-race handsome Mario Maurer. Everyone has a different experience with the story of their first love, but most of them end in vain. And this movie can be said to have created a perfect dream about first love. This time, it was introduced to China, and the audience can re-watch the unpretentious youthful expressions on the big screen, and reminisce about those affectionate thoughts and youthful memories.
The most impressive thing about "The Little Thing of First Love" is not only Mario's "stunning", but also the concept of "beauty evolution" shown in the whole film. It makes girls believe that the aptitude of "beauty" does not have to be born and bestowed by God. Through sophisticated makeup techniques, the film makes the heroine Xiao Shui step by step from an ugly duckling to a white swan. She takes off her glasses, takes off her braces, her skin turns white, her hair grows long, her clothes become fancy, and her academic performance and cultural and sports activities also change. Must be prominent throughout the school. As a result, she also gained the attention of her sweetheart step by step. The heroine's performance is also very good, the process from a little girl to a mature and attractive woman feels very natural. In addition, the "motivation" that promotes this change is love. The film convinces audiences that love is a positive, inspiring force. It can make people overcome inferiority complex, fear and laziness, and complete their own transformation.
This Thai film can be called the word "pure", and the campus love it shows is like a breeze, which makes people yearn for it. When the heroine Xiao Shui faced her handsome sweetheart, she only watched from a distance at first, full of inferiority complex, and did not dare to approach. She only dared to secretly pick up the button he dropped on the ground, and tell her sincerity to it in the middle of the night when no one was there. Wanting to hear his voice, I finally mustered up the courage to call him, but I didn't dare to let out the air. When her sweetheart actually remembered her name, she danced excitedly and ran to the beach to shout. These scenes are hard to see in our domestic films these days. Although there are many handsome guys and beauties in China, the clear and simple eyes of boys and girls are becoming more and more rare.
The so-called pure film is of course detached from material desires and carnal desires, and under the coercion of materialism, the mainstream values we promote today have long bid farewell to the simplicity and simplicity of the supremacy of emotion. "Bai Fumei" and "Gao Shuaifu" are the evaluation criteria that show that we have long since regarded wealth as the most important consideration, and our true feelings about our hearts have taken a back seat. The road to fame of some popular figures also blatantly proclaimed the principle of "laughing at the poor and not laughing at prostitutes" in this society. No matter what means are used to get out of position, Gan Lulu plausibly "I'm on fire and respected". Driven by the whole social atmosphere, look at our love movie, "Happiness Limit" believes that "the limit of happiness is the limit of the credit card". Even "Thirty-Three Days of Broken Love", which was popular last year, is entangled in a complex value system, and the protagonist is also tortured and suffering.
Why can't we make "pure" movies these days? Because our country has long since lost its innocence.
