This is a small fresh, literary film. The story tells the story between the genius Xiao Zhengtai and his beautiful nanny. The 12-year-old Reggie is smart and mature from a normal age. His father's untimely death, his mother's remarriage and being strong, left him wandering alone in a castle-like house.
Eleanor, a 23-year-old girl, is sexy and beautiful. The poverty of the family, the lies of her boyfriend, life hit her again and again, leaving her mind on the street, step by step away from her musical talent. However, one day, the two met. Eleanor became a temporary nanny for Reggie's mother because of the pressure of life and financial pressure. In just a few months of getting along and accompanying, the two have found themselves again... The most touching part of the movie is the true love between the two people, not family, nor friendship, nor love. It seems to me that it is a subtle existence between these three emotions. At the beginning of the story, the camera shot from the wind blowing the white gauze curtains, sweeping the bookshelves, the small sofa with books, the desk, and the sleeping little Reggie on the bed. The whole picture is very beautiful, and it is a movie suitable for watching in silence. The scene where the wind blows the white gauze curtain appears many times in the movie. I think this is also the director's repeated use of this scene to describe the hazy emotions between the two people. For 23-year-old Eleanor, Xiao Zhengtai is a gifted boy, and he is more of a kind of family and friendship. When she received a call from home that her father was critically ill and decided to go home, Mrs. Xiaozheng accompanied her. The care along the way makes people feel more like a mother or a sister. At the end of the film, Eleanor decides to return to his hometown to regain strength and come out again. When we parted, when she lowered her body to kiss Reggie, at that moment I was deeply aware of the age gap between the two. Still the brilliance of motherhood. As for Reggie, I think he kinda likes Eleanor. At the age of 12, he was at the moment of youthful sexual fantasy. When he saw Eleanor lying on the grass, his eyes flashed with a feeling of heartbeat.
After returning home, he took off his shirt and showed his arms in front of the mirror. Eleanor is the first woman he touches the adult world, the kind of woman who can touch the soul. It satisfied his most hazy fantasy about love at this time. Whether it's family, friendship, or love. I think the kind of sincere affection that emerges between the two people, its simplicity and the journey, is already beautiful. Even in the end, what Reggie wanted to say but was blocked by Eleanor was because people didn't want to destroy this purity. At the end of the film, the two of them regained their musical hobbies, which I think is the best ending to this encounter. We met in the vast sea of people and experienced a story of hand in hand. In the process, find yourself again, and then disperse and return to the origin. All the same, it seems different, we have something stronger than before. We are never alone in the pursuit of our dreams. How about you? Have you ever changed your mind because of someone or at a certain moment in your life?
