The name engraved in your heart is a movie I have been looking forward to for a long time. My boyfriend and I made plans to watch a movie almost half a month ago. I watched the entire movie with him with great anticipation the day it went live on Netflix yesterday.
After I watched the movie, my mood was extremely mixed. I was moved by the initial green and hazy love between Zhang Jiahan and Birdy, regretted that they couldn't fall in love at the end, and dissatisfied with the director and screenwriter's last superfluous. In the end, what reverberated deep in my heart for a long time was an uneasy feeling.
In terms of storyline and characterization, the images of Zhang Jiahan and Birdy are relatively full, except for their acquaintance at the beginning and their gradually developing different feelings for each other, which can be written in more strokes (for example, after meeting in the swimming pool, There is also no expansion on swimming and why birdy broke his breath-holding record), the rest of the plot unfolds smoothly and naturally. Especially the clip of the two going north to pay homage to Chiang Ching-kuo. The two of them watched a movie together, told about their dreams together, the family man secretly kissed Birdy, and Birdy quoted San Mao's famous quote. These plots all make people feel the purest friendship before the two teenagers, and the hazy love on top of friendship. I think Zhang Jiahan decided at that time that he fell in love with birdy. I have to praise the film's efforts in the language of the camera. When the two were in the hotel, the dark red and dark background, and the color of desire in the depression, well explained the heart of Jiahan at that time. The beauty on the lens allows us to bring us more into the youthful love of the male protagonists of the film.
With the development of the plot, when the school is forced to admit girls, the appearance of Banban is one of the turning points of the film. At the same time, it is also the first place that made me regret. The shaping of the characters has a sense of separation here. At one point I thought the actors had taken the wrong script. Especially because at the beginning of the film, because of the modeling factor, the images of the two male protagonists are quite similar. It made me wonder a few times if I was not admitting the wrong person. In terms of the images of Jiahan and Birdy before this, Jiahan has always been a person who is not quite sure about himself and is more adrift. From the bathroom, he was run on by friends, forcing him to beat up a gay junior. It can be seen that there is actually a cautiousness in his character, he is unwilling to touch the bottom line of the world, and he also cares about other people's eyes. His final compromise raised the stick, and what he smashed was the truth in his own heart, because at that time he already had a hazy affection for birdy. When he looked at his junior, what he saw was actually himself. It was also at this time that Birdy stood up, and he was the one who helped the younger brother leave without saying a word. birdy saved not only the injured junior, he also saved the family. It can be seen from this incident that Birdy is the one who is braver and more daring to face worldly opinions and fight for what he thinks is right and right. In Taipei, it was Birdy who was desperate to help the protesters who were taken away by the police for equal rights for same-sex marriage. Although the two male protagonists have grown significantly in the process, Jiahan slowly recovered under the influence of Birdy. Not in the eyes of friends and friends, I will come forward for Birdy. But birdy and banban's love, deliberately alienating the family made me very playful. If these behaviors are done by a family member, I think it is very natural, because the family member has been hesitant and uncertain, wandering in self-doubt. In the previous image, however, Birdy was a real person who made me feel very true to myself. His uninhibited and rebelliousness made it hard for me to believe that he would fall in love with Banban because he was escaping his relationship with the family member. Because I haven't read the original book, I don't know if Jiahan's feelings for Banban are real. The performance in the film is also relatively ambiguous and can be interpreted differently. We have the right to assume that his feelings for Banban are real. So when did he abandon his family? It was obvious that he had feelings for Jiahan before he met Banban. It is also obvious that the family member has different feelings for him. I believe that birdy can also feel it. Especially after the bathroom scene, birdy took the initiative to kiss his family and said sorry three times. These three sorrys have too many meanings. I think one of them is for his family. Sorry for the previous disappointment. Going to talk about a real love with Banban when he has feelings for the family member? Or is it just to escape the feelings for the family member? Either way of explaining the behavior and motivation of the characters strikes me as incongruous at this point. Although it may be said that birdy may be a bohemian on the outside, in fact, he is conservative in his heart. The director and screenwriter didn't have enough foreshadowing before to bring out this aspect of the character. If you really want to express that he is such a person, birdy in Taipei shouldn't be impulsive to help protesters who were taken away by the police.
The plot progressed slowly, until the final climax of the conflict, the class was dropped out of school, Jiahan and Birdy had a big fight, and continued the flashback before the film. Afterwards, Jiahan and Birdy left together until they reached the beach. This part of the plot is the climax of the whole show. The plot is tight, and the atmosphere is well-done. In the end, the two were naked and snuggled on the beach, and they were the only ones left in the world to truly face the whole world. Here is the highlight of the whole film. Although I still want to know the reaction of the parents after Jai Han came out to his parents, if you can give them a few more shots, the completion of this scene should be higher. But overall I'm very satisfied with this part of the plot. It made my emotions fully mobilized, and I was nervous, excited, sad and regretful with Jiahan and Birdy.
After this episode, that's where I'm most upset. I thought it was going to be the finale, but I was forcibly dragged to watch this 20-minute pointless, unbeautiful, and unplayable s**t. The content of the last paragraph is significantly different from the previous one, and it doesn't look like the same movie at all in terms of tone and rhythm. Although the rhythm of the previous movies is not very fast and compact, it does not make people feel procrastinated. Not to mention why it was finally forced to tell what happened 30 years later, without leaving a blank. What is the plot of your waterfall to express? Advertise to Canada? Just to pay tribute to the spring break? Didn't advance any plot. There is no expression of any emotions of the characters and changes in character over 30 years. The scene that I forcibly added made me see it like a stick in my throat, like sitting on pins and needles, like a light on my back. And according to my boyfriend told me that the location of the waterfall and the priest's home is also 4 hours away from the plane. So he just wanted to watch a waterfall fly over and fly back? The final scene of meeting birdy also made me very playful. Two old lovers who have not been in contact for 30 years, there is no emotion, no embarrassment and hesitation that I want to say a thousand words but don't know how to say it. It is natural that the two people have no estrangement in communication. And go to birdy to recall that I actually loved you very much at that time. Are you saying this to express that you are scumbag? This is outrageous, very dramatic. There is no spark between the two male actors. Taking this paragraph out alone, it is completely impossible to see that the relationship between the two is a former lover. I later checked that the actor Zhang Jiahan, who had acted for 30 years, finally won a Best Supporting Actor. I'm a black question mark? The feeling I got from the filming of this scene is to force the actor to add a scene, and to force a happy ending. I think HE is good, but it only takes less than a minute to express the plot. After 30 years, Zhang Jiahan, who has never been to the alumni reunion, came to the reunion for the first time when he heard the news of Birdy's divorce. The two were speechless for a long time, and then Jiahan took out a tape recorder from thirty years ago and played their music, and the screen switched back to the scene where the two of them were on the beach years ago. Black screen. Perfect! ! If the movie ends like this, it will give me the feeling that I don't have enough. rather than the current situation.
This movie has very beautiful pictures and shots, and has a very good idea and story. But there are too many regrets in what could have been a more perfect film because of the screenwriting and possible commercial reasons. The plot can be polished more completely. In addition to the swimming clips mentioned above, there are many plots in the film that feel incomplete or have potential for expansion. Why would birdy go out to buy supper every day at the risk of being punished? (Is supper so important? It can be assumed here that the supper is bought for Jiahan.) Jiahan's apprentice, as well as his friends, suddenly disappeared afterward. The sidelines of these supporting characters also did not end well. One of the dreams of birdy and Jiahan is to make a movie, and the other is to compose music. Did their dream come true in the end? These details are missing. It makes me regret that this movie didn't live up to its potential. It's such a pity because of the possibility of seeing a perfect movie.
