We are so old that we can have good things to remember

The summer of 1999 was extremely hot. At that time, when I was studying, it was an indifferent age. There are many boys in the class, and almost every day after school they have to play football or something in the school. Even on weekends, they will make an appointment to come to the school playground around 4 pm in groups of three or five.

I remember one time, a few of them released my pigeons at random, causing me to come to the school alone. It was extremely hot that afternoon, and the whole school was empty as if it was about to evaporate. When I lay down in a different position, it suddenly passed an afternoon, as if it melted in that afternoon. I still remember the calmness of that afternoon, and the aqua blue with eyes full of pure white sunlight halo.

At that time, the female classmate I had a crush on showed up at the playground wearing a white shirt.
Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat.
Youth is such a sudden picture, which flashes into your eyes silently, like a shadow.

"My Girls' Generation" is called the girls' version of "Those Years", and Taiwan's youth movies are always on the pulse. The director is Chen Yushan, who is famous for filming female idol dramas. She has the special skills that can vividly show the small business spirit of women's psychology.

Although the plot of the movie is so cliché that it makes people sad, the director's victory over mainland abortion youth movies is that she can grasp a certain emotion in a woman's heart. This emotion is not about those dramatic clichés, those are nothing more than the smallest stories that I like you and you don't know, or that I like you but think you like someone else. It is the sense of substitution that can instantly sink you, the obsession with being self-righteous when you were young and naive in the past, and the people and things that connected with you when you were naive, TA is deeply embedded in an important corner of your memory, Be something you can't forget. At that moment, we are doing all kinds of efforts for the future, so that we can have beautiful things to remember when we are so old.

The clumsy, kind and lovely heroine, who appeared in the hypocritical TV series, loved the school grass like a prince. Her ordinary appearance and lack of personality made her inferior to become a member of the green leaves. Because a letter of bad luck is related to the handsome little bully at school, although they come from all over the world, they form an alliance of dismantling love for a common goal. After the master, maid, domineering president and other playful enemies, they find that the person they love the most is the one who is subconsciously beside them.

Is it cliché? Yes.

But any adolescence story can fall into the rut.
Full of girlish hearts and beautiful regrets, this is what "My Girls' Generation" grasps the most accurately. Unfinished exam papers, unsolvable math problems, the sun and heavy rain on the playground, Coke cans and Wei Weisheng. Rusty bicycles, familiar campus radio and pop songs, lyric books and graduation guestbooks, as well as Andy Lau and Stephen Chow tapes and movies.

You will remember the TA in your memory like a smile on a sunny day, with a white and plain face always shining brightly, with long black hair or a white shirt.
At that time, all the things I said, the things I cared about, and the things I liked were all fought for with all the energy in my youth.

"When a girl says I'm fine, it's a problem~ When a girl says it's okay, it's a relationship... When a girl says she doesn't care about you anymore, it's not that she really hates you, but she cares about you..." It is precisely because of this kind of girlish heart that the male protagonist ran out of the hospital and stood downstairs in the female protagonist in white t-shirt jeans and said, "Because you said that when a girl says it's okay, there is something wrong", and the audience is all ears. It's the scream of spring.
Old-fashioned to madness, moved to a mess. The most important little things will take you a long time to look back before you can see those childish beauties... Adolescence of love Xiaomiao, weak and timid, deer bumping, hindsight, loss of defense...

Most of people's lives are Defects are the main axis, extending in time and implicated to form a messy emotional network. Time makes the sworn love to ashes, and also allows the trembling young flower to have its own smile. Taste, sound, words, scenery, all will pass. In the end, only memories remain. One day you will think of the one summer you met for the first time on a hot afternoon with a pure white halo, the one you loved and the one who didn't.
