[XX grocery store with attitude] The 31st movie "Later Us"
------↑↑↑ Too lazy to read, click on it↑↑↑------ ------↓↓↓Don't want to hear it, look down↓↓↓------
It is said that the first milk tea as a director can't tell a story, but I think the story is well told. It's the taste of milk tea. I never want to tell a complete story from beginning to end. This is a story that is completely from the perspective of the heroine. What she thinks is important, or what she understands, the rest of the so-called fracture , incoherent, not important to her, or no longer necessary.
Yes, a short reunion, the once auspicious piece of feathers that evoked, isn't it broken in itself? The story is not realistic enough, but it is too ideal. In reality, quarrels due to predicament will not suddenly appear; most of the hard work after having nothing will end in failure. Even if we don't talk about fate or not, all kinds of characters in the character are often written in the future, but it does not mean that you can change if you change it, and you can succeed if you change it.
However, I am not a drama critic, and I am too lazy to think about how to make the story and the people in it more believable for milk tea. Where the story is, in addition to the screenwriter's attention to the ingenuity of the plot, what moves ordinary people is often the emotions and thoughts that are aroused. Because of their own experience, these emotions and thoughts are there and can only be touched. If not, no matter how good a story is, it is difficult to move people.
Some people say that although the heroine can understand, but still feel that the three views are not right. I feel that the three views are very correct. No matter what the reasons are when I was a child, I wanted to leave a small place and take root in a big city. I have some small skills, but I don’t have a diploma. I tried my best to find a husband who had an economic foundation and loved me. It was understandable, but I did it after thinking about it. When I met the male protagonist, I was touched. Once or twice, I finally let go of all my requirements, all rules and regulations, and accompany this little boy to endure hardships with no complaints and no regrets. Maybe some unworldly childish, but they are people who understand life. How many people can't do this, or can't do it anymore?
As for the male protagonist, he is loyal, has ideals, and is good to the female protagonist, but he is a little cowardly. Love to play games, or addicted to games. In a word, it is the general evaluation that everyone often has about fresh graduates, especially liberal arts students like me: the eyes are good and the hands are weak.
So the whole story is actually not new. It's not that who dislikes the other, but that when two people are together, the boy feels more and more that he can't bring the "glorious life" he thinks to the girl. ...is this true? I'd like to say no, but it seems a bit self-deceiving. So all I can say is, yes, not all. Even as a relatively rational audience, thinking about this question, the answer given seems to be still ambiguous. What's more, what about a client who hides a deep sense of inferiority? I don't really know what those confident people think, maybe they don't think about anything, maybe they just do what they need to do, and they never have too many thoughts. However, I am still clear about the psychology of cowards. When inferiority strikes, the answer that can be given is always at a certain extreme, because no matter which extreme is it, it is not reality.
So the conflict between the two people arose and became more and more intense. With the deteriorating situation in real life, the girl had no choice but to leave the boy. The boy had the opportunity to get back the girl, but he didn't. Take out the furniture that doesn't break at home. Old-fashioned? Familiar or not?
However, the next dialogue given by Milk Tea is very classic: Female: If you had the courage to get on the subway at that time, I would be with you for the rest of your life. Man: If you didn't break up with me then... Woman: Then we'll break up later. Man: If I was rich enough at the time, we would live in a big house with a big sofa... Woman: You might have found no less than ten mistresses. Man: If we didn't care at the time, we were married? Woman: We have been divorced for many years. Man: What if you could accompany me to the end? Woman: Then maybe you won't succeed. Male: If we hadn't left home to go to Beijing... Female: If not if... Male: Then we had everything. Woman: ...but there is no us. Every time a boy asks, the girl's answer is quite decisive. You may be able to hear unwillingness and unbearableness from it, but every answer seems to be blurted out. The only reason is that every "what if" said by the boy has long since been silently asked herself countless times in her heart. It seems that an unsolved chess game cannot be turned over no matter how hard you try, and it is precisely because of this that even if you know it is impossible to turn over, you still try again and again in your mind.
At this point, the so-called story, plot, and editing are not so important. Because I want to come here, this is a movie for my cowardly friends to talk about masturbation. If you have never had this kind of back and forth in your heart, those who are indomitable will never have such an experience.
Thinking of a word that has become popular in the past two years called Buddhism, everything can be seen, and nothing matters. I think before the word was born, some people like this would be said to be "mourning", but it doesn't really make a difference. It seems that the "Buddhist system" is more positive and more open-minded. In the end, it is actually the same. Then if you want to push it forward, it is probably the word "cowardly". It's just the same, those who clearly know they are cowards, but are unwilling to admit it, start to come up with all kinds of words to whitewash themselves.
A music friend talked about Eason Chan's "Ten Years". He said that in addition to Eason Chan's singing, the lyrics are also quite good, because "who doesn't have a decade?" Similarly, the movie "Later Us" , Who and who did not have a later unexpected encounter? Even if reality has not yet come, or will never come. In everyone's heart, isn't there an imagination that goes back and forth? Imagine a day when you meet someone again. It's a pity that all imaginations seem to be difficult to carry on, because all the imaginations are in your mind, and you know that they are imaginations. The imagination breaks automatically, as if the self-protection device on the electric switch shields all the overloaded currents.
Those who can tell stories are somewhat lucky, at least they can arrange the unexpected encounter of two people in the story, as well as those words that can no longer be said in reality, and the imagination that cannot be carried on.
In the end, many people said that this movie entrusted the "open secret" between Milk Tea and Chen Sheng, the so-called love. I watched a variety show called "Guoguang Help" (the show should still exist now) in the past when Milk Tea gave his new album to Chen Sheng, but Chen Sheng refused with a serious face. He said, "What you make with your heart is just given to others. Do you know if others will listen to it, or throw it there to collect ashes." I can't remember exactly what he said, but that's probably what he meant. At that time, the milk tea cried, and the crying was super ugly. I don’t want to talk about too many things between two people. Many times, you want to beep loudly to the whole world, and you can’t wait to talk to one person, but many times you can’t say anything, or you don’t want to say anything. Since the parties do not want to go into details, there is no need for others to investigate. Some things belong to two people, and some things belong to only one person.
So, go and hear them tell some stories they would love to tell.
