After watching this movie, I had a lot of sympathy. The one that resonates the most is the part where they broke up, which is actually inevitable. The core problem is that men's self-esteem is too strong, which is a manifestation of immaturity. I think of the male protagonist in Zhao Wei's "To Youth", which is basically the same. The portrayal of this kind of man in the movie is really profound.
When Lin Jianqing was attacked by reality (being looked down upon by his classmates and dismissed from his job), he suffered a great psychological impact. From his performance, it can be seen that the optimistic and cheerful person before began to doubt his life and lose his confidence. A very sad emotion, which means that you begin to deny yourself and fear social competition. After all, he is just a boy who has not graduated long, and he is not mentally mature enough to quickly adjust his emotions to face the world. And this kind of negative emotion he couldn't control himself, he would vent it in his life, so Fang Xiaoxiao suffered and finally had to leave. But the hopeful side is that Lin Jianqing finally matured and slowly moved towards success.
Just like what Dad said in the last letter, in recent years, seeing Qing has grown up, what is growing up is that he knows that he is living for others, and he needs to restrain his temperament, control his emotions, and take good care of himself. The things that rot in my stomach, give the people around me the best world that I can provide, whether it is material or spiritual, I have to do it, and men have to bear it. Speaking of which, men are really tired. Born as a human, they are in hell.
Lin Jianqing and Fang Xiaoxiao's night may have been their most comfortable night. As Fang Xiaoxiao said, "You are not mature at all, we are still as naive as children." If you can be a child, who would like to? What about being an adult? Lin Jianqing in the black and white film can hardly see any happiness and happiness.
I like the last sentence of Father Lin the most, "It's good to live up to the fate of the other party. It's really hard to live up to this life." It's really incisive.
