The narrative technique of this film is very good. The narration and flashback are carried out at the same time, and they are just right. It restores the heartbeats, misunderstandings, and divergences caused by it. I have always felt that a confident director of a good film must be able to control the rhythm, so that the audience can watch your story quietly, peacefully, and willingly.
The story begins on a certain day now. Shengmin is a designer in an architectural design company. He is living on salary. His girlfriend, Encai, is a colleague of the company. He plans to go to the United States to get married next month. Seo Yeon, whose occupation is unknown, everything is unknown, she probably just broke up with her ex and got a sum of money to rebuild and renovate her hometown in Jeju Island, and live with her father until she dies of old age. So Seo Yeon found Seungmin through the address in her classmate's address book and asked him to be responsible for the construction. In the process of constant running-in and negotiation, she recalled the past, and finally found that the two of them had already made love to each other, but they separated due to misunderstanding and reunited again. , It was also in the past that the love was still unfulfilled, but it was too late after all, leaving a touch of regret, and finally Shengmin set foot on the plane to the United States.
Xiao Shengmin is a freshman in the freshman year, majoring in architecture, and lives in Zhenling. Before he met Rui Yan, he was still a stunned young man and knew nothing about love. Xiao Ruiyan, a big voice, from Jeju Island, is good at playing the piano, but dreams of becoming an announcer, and then lives in a house she designed to raise two children for the rest of her life. At the beginning, she liked architecture and her seniors came to take an introduction to architecture class. In the architecture class, the teacher asked each student to mark their own route to the school on the map on the blackboard. Xiao Shengmin found that he and Xiao Ruiyan were two lines that completely overlapped. The story unfolds like this. The two take the bus together, do their homework together, listen to CDs together, discover the empty and abandoned old house together, walk on the railroad tracks together, whoever falls first will be beaten on the back, and when they return from a long trip together Xiao Shengmin secretly kissed Xiao Ruiyan who was leaning on her shoulder and fell asleep, and they agreed to meet when the first snow fell.
If the story stopped abruptly here, or continued on this path, it would not have been so tear-jerking. In that old house, Xiao Shengmin carefully inquired if Xiao Ruiyan had a boyfriend who also liked the handsome and rich senior in the club. After receiving Xiao Ruiyan's casual affirmation, Xiao Shengmin was at a loss. The senior drove Xiao Ruiyan home, Xiao Shengmin pretended to be sleeping, the senior laughed secretly that the English on his most precious white T-shirt was misspelled, and invited Xiao Ruiyan to his house, Xiao Sheng got out of the car in anger . On Xiao Ruiyan's birthday, she told Xiao Shengmin about her dream house, and agreed that he would be responsible for building it ten years later. The deposit was the box of CDs they had heard together, and Xiao Shengmin spent a long time making it. She got the model and rushed from Jiangbei to Jiangnan Xiao Ruiyan's new home to wait, and at this time Xiao Ruiyan kept inquiring about Xiao Shengmin's whereabouts at the school. He helped him to take him home, and wanted to take advantage of him, just happened to be seen by Xiao Shengmin, who had been waiting for a day, his heart was broken, and the five-flavor bottle was knocked over, so he threw the model into the garbage heap, and he went crazy Gotta run away. When Xiao Ruiyan woke up the next day, she saw the model and understood that Xiao Shengmin might have been there, so she kept looking for him in the school, but when she finally found it, she was only returned the CD "I don't have a CD player at home" and the sentence "Can you get out of my way?" On the snowy day, Xiao Ruiyan waited in the agreed old house for a day, Xiao Shengmin tossed and turned on the bed for a day, Xiao Ruiyan left the disc and CD player and left sadly.
And the original misunderstanding was solved when Seungmin saw that the broken model was still in the cardboard box of Seo Yeon's new house, and Seungmin realized that the girl he liked when he was young also liked him. He couldn't bear it any longer, hugged Ruiyan, hugged and kissed. The bitter emotions that have been involved in the ignorant years have been fulfilled at this moment.
The final result is still flawed, Seungmin did not stay with Seo Yeon, but boarded the plane to the United States with Eun Chae as originally planned. Then I received the CD that Seo Yeon sent to Seungmin, and that kiss was more like the end of the past and the farewell to the present.
This is a movie about first love. First love is like peeling an onion. Every step is careful, but you are still choked with tears.
Those crazy joy, sadness, and anger are the most real portrayal of that mood. Every move of the other party may make waves in one's heart. First love is so sensitive, sometimes blindly confident, the other party Ordinary smiles will be taken as a hint of liking, and sometimes there is a very inexplicable inferiority complex. Any unintentional words and deeds may touch the most vulnerable nerves in the bottom of my heart and completely deny myself. Xiao Shengmin is the same, a shallow kiss and a beating on the back of his hand are irreplaceable in his eyes, they are all actions and actions that belong only to them, even if the kiss was stolen by him, even if his brother told him. He "farts, don't you slap the back of the hand if you lose?"; and when he saw Xiao Ruiyan being carried into the room by other boys, all the trust and feelings he had accumulated before collapsed in an instant, and all the positive hints were here In a moment it turned into total denial.
What about us, dare we say otherwise. Those secretly saved notes, those thoughts locked in the diary, those secretly watching eyes, those ecstatic hid in the bed, those text messages that could not be saved in the mobile phone and were reluctant to delete and had to be copied down, those Seeing the envy of her and other boys smiling like flowers, those confessions that were brewing in the stomach over and over again but eventually stillborn, those painful times that were paralyzed with blue ribbons and games.
Because of your words, I can be happy for several days, and I can also be lost for several years.
First love is like peeling an onion. The moment you finish peeling, that is, when you cry, you can't wipe it with your hands. The more you wipe it, the more choked you are. You can only wait for the time to dry slowly, and then smile and watch the memory come back at a certain moment. wake up suddenly.
