love flowers, love Alice

It's really a wonderful movie. It's a little fresh at the beginning, absurd and ridiculous in the middle, and a little warm at the end.
The flower looks taciturn on the surface, but like the flower in front of her house, the heart is blooming wanton. Alice is lively and bold, but she is timid in her heart. She is used to seeing other people's eyes, she is afraid of being imperfect, she is afraid that others hate her, she is afraid of being alone, and she longs to be comforted and loved. Seeing her asking her mother lying on the sofa, she was lost in love again, and suddenly realized that when she saw Hua was unhappy before, she used to ask: Are you lost in love? She may have gotten used to it, so she can't see the flowers being separated from the boy she likes. But when she started working hard to play the role of her own lie, inexplicable love, jealousy and unease spread among these three people.
It seems that the story is really a trite love triangle, but whether it is the picture or the actors, there is a sense of purity, everything, lies, dullness, pain are not mixed with a little artificial and deliberate shadow, just let One can keep reading this story in peace.
Hua should have mixed feelings when she saw the previous photos. We used to go to and from school, peek at boys at the station together, and laugh and spin in ballet shoes together, so she would say that Alice is Good girl, if you want to be happy together. Her lies started the story, and it was her honesty that gave it its most satisfying ending.
What attracts me most about Yu Aoi is that she has a very pure and beautiful feeling when she is focused. In the last ballet dance, it was really beautiful, wearing a white school uniform, with an unadorned face, dancing in a white room, and at first there was a little shyness, but with the flowing piano sound, there were constant changes. Even though the director didn't focus the camera on her face, she must have been so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
After watching this movie, I also feel that the actors are well chosen. Although they are not tall and handsome, they have that kind of small and fresh feeling, and they have a sense of existence without covering the two leading actresses at all. The light, after all, I think this is still a movie about the friendship between girls before.
The friendship between girls is indescribable and fragile, but it is more pure that I like you, I want to protect you, and I want to make you happy.

    1. Shunji Iwai is not just shooting "little fresh", not just using highlights, hand-held, filters, oblique composition, slow motion and beautiful piano music (although this form combination is indeed artistic), the film's The narrative is very loose. If the love triangle is used as the main line, the rest of the story will appear fragmented and irrelevant, but it is this seemingly off-topic loose collage narrative that really conveys the free and easy, wanton and active spirit of youth. grid. 2. A series of life-like details and personalized expressions and movements are charming and lovely; the backstage confession is cross-cut with the clumsy antics on the stage, and the alienation effect replaces the excessive sensationalism. 3. The doppelganger motif revealed in the film is based on [Love Letter], and at the same time is an interesting experiment about memory and memory modification. 4. The red seats on the empty train (overexposure, the same as [Lily Zhou]), playing cards flying on the beach, Astro Boy balloons outside the window, multi-angle shots of ballet, giraffes falling on the stage. 5. Walking and reading a book and getting dizzy, dancing in the rain, imagining soap bubbles in your hands, saying I love you & goodbye in Chinese, the beauty of giving a pen. (9.0/10)
