We tend to believe more in friendship when we are young. It has less worldly pressure and more tacit understanding with growing up. Friendship when we are young is always purer and flawless, going through fire and water, so there are so many directors who set their sights on young people. Our friendship, in order to commemorate our fragile, lost youth.
Iwai Junji, I have doubted countless times whether his world will always stay in the summer of his youth. He walks beside youth, and sees the tenderness and cruelty, ordinary and dazzling, tolerance and harvest of youth with a parallel vision. His films make people feel warm and melancholy after watching, as if stepping into the endless wilderness of time, looking up at the four poles, it is the past and the future. For example, "Flower and Alice".
The film is long, about three teenagers, two lies and a friendship. Countless long shots and violin soundtracks extend a whole piece of youthful years that we have not touched on but are very real. The young and transparent eyes of girls like deer and the sharp silence of boys, like hoes, gradually open up our imagination of the most extreme and magnificent youth.
Hua is such a girl, shy, weird, with clumsy and ghost ideas like a small child, she peeked and followed Miyamoto, she pretended to be an adult in the yard full of flowers and said helplessly to Alice, "We It's not a child, it shouldn't stick together forever." She dragged Miyamoto with soap bubbles in her hands and ran on the sidewalk where the traffic lights were about to change. She walked seriously in front of Alice and asked each other not to see each other again, and then turned sharply to give her a Big hug. This girl, you see her hair is messy, she likes to speak softly in exaggerated tones, her eyes are round and bright, and she looks like a mindless fool, but she is still in the reckless and ignorant love when she was young When I grew up, I exposed my lies on the backstage of the performance at the Cultural Festival, and I finally understood that this kind of thing cannot be forced or deceived. What it wants is the most helpless truth.
And Alice, she is quiet and playful, smart and clumsy. She applied to be an actor, but she was weak and didn't know how to perform. She learned ballet with Hua. She was beautiful like a little swan, pretending to be Miyamoto's ex-girlfriend, and portrayed it for no reason. There are many details, and even herself is immersed in it. Finally, she is exposed by Miyamoto. When saying goodbye to him, she said "I love you" and "goodbye" to him in Chinese. Miyamoto didn't understand, she smiled and said, "This is secret".
The love triangle between two women and one man, what a common and vulgar plot, Iwai Junji put it together with the story of growing up, the clouds are light and the wind is clear but infinitely melancholy. This is originally a friendship-based story. It tells how two girls move forward and back down. The foundation of friendship is so fragile. The reason why it can be maintained is that neither of them wants to let go.
I don’t want to give up going to school together, I don’t want to give up walking hand in hand, I don’t want to give up a boring conversation with no content and nothing new, I don’t want to give up the time we experience together... Friendship is just piled up in these little things, and it’s not earth-shattering. , there is no shocking mountains and rivers, it is as ordinary and ordinary as everyone's stories, but what does it matter, we are such two ordinary ordinary people, with this ordinary ordinary friendship, living uniquely and growing up , and then one day, suddenly grew up.
