There are many emotions in this world that we cannot accurately define, and the deep feelings established between age, gender and even race are often more moving than ordinary emotions.
When watching the movie "Sunny Like Rain", I was moved by indefinable feelings. Reggie and Eleanor, one is a genius boy with excellent IQ and EQ, and the other is an ordinary girl who lost her boyfriend and got entangled and finally lost her job. They are separated by mountains and rivers in their teens, with different classes and different life experiences, but they understand each other and fulfill each other. They have gone through a period of time together in a way that ordinary people can't understand. time.
It's just a story about a particularly cliché babysitter and the little boy she takes care of. Such a story is easy to shoot badly, because there are no ups and downs in the plot, but it is in this daily ordinary plot that the director expresses a state of wanting to talk and rest.
Reggie has maturity and wisdom beyond her age, and although Eleanor is the one who takes care of Reggie on the surface, he is taken care of by Eleanor invisibly. He encourages her not to give up her dream, take her to eat delicious food, and prepare breakfast for her , and even gave her the coveted musical instrument after they parted, so that she could stick to her own musical path. And what Eleanor gave to Reggie? It is the care that my mother can't give, and the understanding that my peers can't give. They walked together for a while, and finally parted ways. This kind of ending may be the best, for each other, but the audience can't help but feel some regrets, but they can't tell where the regrets come from.
What is the relationship between them? Beyond friendship, family, love, age, gender and class, it is mutual understanding and mutual healing but unable to approach.
So ending it abruptly with a parting is the best ending.
Those dense tidal waves of powerlessness and sadness separated the two lives. The mutual understanding between them transcends everything, but it blocks everything.
Why does such a simple story move me so much? It has no climaxing plot, no exaggerated emotions, it just tells the reunion and parting of a pair of young people with a difference in age. It has nothing to do with love, and it is as quiet as a snowy winter night. It tells about the confusion of girls and the loneliness of gifted children. But in fact, each of us is an island, the person who talks freely in the crowd, do you know the way he cry in the dead of night? Gifted children grow up in families without family affection and seem out of place among their peers. The only way to relieve loneliness and emotions is to read and play the cello. The appearance of Eleanor is like a ship sailing in the dark and suddenly seeing a light in the distance. , and told him that he could go to the shore and rest for a while. But this kind of landing is only temporary, and he still has farther to reach. But the harbor that provided him temporarily docked was so warm, so he tried his best to take care of it, hoping that this warmth would bring him a lifetime. For Eleanor, Reggie is more of a trash can for her. She can finally find someone to talk to about what she has encountered. She tells about the sadness of the adult world, the distress of lovelorn, the pain caused by family discord, Talk to him about your confusion about the future. And Reggie is more like a responsible adult to help her relieve her pain, accompany her to go home to see her seriously ill father, and point her to her future path. The relationship between the two is said to be friendship, but it lacks the cornerstone of becoming a friend. This kind of understanding and tolerance beyond ordinary people, patience and love are said to be love, but they lack sex. Like a sunny day like a rainy day" showed it.
It's like Liao Yimei's line in the play "Softness": Everyone is lonely. In our life, it is not uncommon to encounter love and sex, but to encounter understanding is rare.
