The beginning of the story is as beautiful as ever. The two young girls have common hobbies and share each other's secrets...until they become "old friends".
In Nina's view, this lifelong friendship is tantamount to a contract, and the mutual responsibility makes her willing to do anything for Sophia, even at the expense of her own bright future. In her opinion, the reason for this is very simple: "I just do what I want to do"~
In Sophia's view, this kind of sacrifice has become a burden, and this burden has been accompanied by the end of the college entrance examination. with her until Nina once again decides to give up her New York job in order to be with her. Conflict inevitably arises, and Sophia finally makes a choice - to end this already overwhelmed friendship. It doesn't mean that she doesn't love Nina, it's just that Nina's love is too heavy, making her "just want you hate me"~
Everyone has such friends in their lives, we talk to them all, and we are happy with each other happiness, and sorrow for each other's sorrow. But when we try to make some sacrifices for our friends, our mentality has changed. We try to prove the value of friendship by giving them help; but in their eyes, it becomes a kind of pity, a kind of sympathy denial of one's own life.
When Nina finally understands Sophia's original intention, the ending of the film is no longer important, because everyone sitting in the theater has a new definition of friendship. The real friendship is not in how much you pay for each other, but in whether you enter the depths of each other's hearts and understand each other's thoughts. When you truly understand each other, such friendships last a lifetime.
The world is always changing, and we must go back to the beginning to discover the things that haven't changed.
