When the movie was screened, I was worried whether this movie would be the same as other cross-border directed movies, showing off feelings and making money; or like some youth movies, it would be a middle-aged person's lust for youth. , The drama is piled up, and I don't know what to say. So when I finished watching the show in the morning, I felt dizzy, and my first feeling was, "Don't worry, don't worry. Passed."
1. About the plot
Director Liu Ruoying's ambition is not really big. "Later Us" is just a little story about the love between men and women. It is ordinary and ordinary. There is no natural or man-made disaster to force people to separate, no family resistance, external temptation, etc. to promote separation. It has picked a heavy and light word - dream, to compete with love. I wrote before, "Homecoming" is the lightest and heaviest luggage, it is a breath and a force. We have been supported, deceived, beaten, scolded, cared for, understood and pityed, until we encapsulate all the softness, are invincible, and become the appearance of a city.
But that might just be one layer of dreams in the movie. Another level of dreaming is, " My dream is to work hard to achieve yours. " But sadly, he probably never understood what her dream was. I think the film's discussion of giving and need in love is worth encouraging. In fact, in any emotion, giving and need are often misaligned. Figuring out what you want and communicating sincerely with each other is what the film wants to tell us.
Most of the people who went to see it were girls, and the ex-boyfriend who you thought "he never understood" was substituted, so I was indignant. I was also very helpless during the process of watching, and even wanted to knock on the head of the elm tree, you can see clearly, what she wants is love. But think calmly and ask yourself, can such a love without economic basis be able to last a lifetime? Just like seeing Qing in the snow and asking "what if", Xiaoxiao said "no if". Unless God gives the golden finger, love will be exhausted one day.
In fact, God does have a golden finger. After Jian Qing left Xiaoxiao, her career was successful and she became a social celebrity. This is one of the places where the movie is controversial. But I think this place is exactly excusable. Before the male protagonist separated from the female protagonist, he insisted on making a foreshadowing of the game, and the departure of the female protagonist, or his cowardice, let go of the female protagonist, which just gave him the courage to break the boat. Because there is nothing to lose, there is only effort to achieve. He's the idiot who foolishly thought realizing his dream would save everything.
In addition, I think the correspondence between Ian and Kelly's game and the movie story is a little naive but quite romantic. Without you, my world is black and white. So, later we are black and white. My friend said that he really wanted to play that game.
Tucao, the ending of the movie was really procrastinated, and now the black and white tone is basically enough to wave downstairs and see the other from the window. A dignified goodbye that feels a lot better than a thin hug at the end, and avoids some awkward written lines.
2. About the main actor
Jing Boran and Zhou Dongyu are both young actors that I am more optimistic about. They are the most juvenile and girly movie faces in the entertainment industry at this stage in my opinion. They were also full of longing for their cooperation. But to be honest, judging from the previous stills, the CP sense of the two is not so convincing. but! ! ! Movies and stills, dynamic and static, are really different. The two people who melted into the story, the smile from the first time they met each other made me believe: Xiaoxiao and Jianqing are a couple!
The spark that two people collide with is completely natural. Therefore, whether it is careful temptation, sweet dog food, or depression and depression during disputes, people can feel the same way. And this combination is very cute, Jianghu women x science and technology men, it is destined to be a story of chasing and staying. In line with the character design, the performances of the two are also remarkable.
In the words of a film critic, Zhou Dongyu still follows the path of "Jianghu Women", which is in the same line as An Sheng and Gu Shengnan. This kind of character is interesting and good-looking. Sister Dongyu's crying scene really started from "Love of the Hawthorn Tree", and the bright eyes when the two met each other made me mourn. Looking forward to more rich roles in the future.
What surprised me was Jing Boran's performance. In this movie, Xiaoxiao is from the beginning to the end, and Jianqing is growth.
So, finally got a chance to see many sides of Koi. In the previous movies, his performance was a little bit of light in the film, like a little bit of green in the seam of the stone, it was good-looking but not enough. This movie gave Jianqing a lot of room for growth, so I am very happy to see his layering in his performance. Vertically, this layering is from the sullen and saucy engineering man who is careful and probing, to the irritable and fragile Bei Drift. People, and then to the restrained and deep man ten years later. Especially in the second stage, his irritability, depression, and depression made me also anxious across the screen, and wanted to scratch my head.
In the movie, he has several moments that left a deep impression on me: the way he looked back cautiously when we met again, the look in his eyes when he looked at the numbers accumulated on the deposit slip, and the way he turned his head and asked while crying in the car. Jian Qing in the movie is actually not that politically correct, and the characters are not even that likable, but I still want to pick this little brother, because the figure standing alone in the subway makes me feel bad.
Thank him for bringing a complete "Lin Jianqing" instead of Jing Boran. Looking forward to his performance in "The Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind".
Teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang needless to say, reading the letter contracted all my tears. A father's introverted, deep like a silently flowing river, without splashes and waves, but with a loud voice and a deep moving voice.
3. About the picture and music
My impression of Mr. Li Pingbin is in the movie "Lost Orphan". Later, when I searched, I found that many good-looking cinematographers were made by him: "In the Mood for Love", "Flowers on the Sea", "Norwegian Forest", "A Strange Woman" Letters from "The Secret That Can't Be Told" and so on. Watching his films is like "travelling with light and shadow", where light and shadow overlap to create 10,000 beautiful colors.
The whole film adopts the screen switching of black and white and color, which is not only a hint of the theme "later", but also a kind of care for the audience. (Think back to July and An Sheng to understand the need for such care.) This black-and-white effect visually presents an artistic sense, commensurate with the restrained and mature later. The faces of the two people in the room have deep silhouettes. The figures of two people in the snow are the same color. The two people who were crying in the car were emotionally depressed. There are many perspectives in black and white. When I saw Xiao Xiao waving upstairs when the two of them were in the snow, I thought it was beautiful. The snow in winter is matched with black and white tones, which is not obtrusive and artistic.
Regarding music, apart from Tian Fuzhen's "Friends I've Loved For a Long Time" and Eason Chan's "We", Li Jianqing is indeed a big surprise. His voice was naturally like a story, a dream to dry in a cramped alley, and an inextinguishable hope in a dark underground passage.
