The best thing is what happened

The movie is really old-fashioned, and the conflict of the plot is not painful, but what should I say? Inspiration is a very simple thing. The director's dedication to beautiful things and beautiful emotions resonated with me. Probably everyone is a little paranoid deep down, not to mention such a beautiful, pure, and doomed relationship.
Min'e, the girl who picked up the diary, is obviously the incarnation of the director, not only because it is through her eyes that we see the intertwined threads of brocade between Sien and Xiaoxin, but also because when Everyone: teachers and classmates, when they were deeply ashamed, repelled, abused, and suppressed the relationship between Sien and Xiaoxin, but she held a kind of sympathy and even yearning in her heart. Yearning? Undoubtedly yes. It is not so much that Min'e is curious about the feelings and thoughts between the two people, and she is even addicted to it. It is needless to say that she longs to have such a feeling deep in her heart, clean, clear, with a hint of coolness, all the way to her heart, to the eyebrows.
Min'e, like most of us, was too ruthless towards Xiaoxin, and too affectionate towards Jian'an and the teacher who wore glasses.
In the world, we always hope to keep the best, and the tragedy of human beings is precisely that for us, the best is that which has passed away and is irreparable. In fact, from the very beginning of the film, the tragedy has already happened, Sien has lost her love from the beginning, Xiaoxin's death is what happened before all the memories, all this is Min'e's imagination and one-man show. She yearns too much for this relationship, although we don't know in this one-man show, whether she aspires to be a stubborn and stubborn lover like Xiaoxin, or gets that kind of love like Sien, or just envy the two That pure, happy memory and relationship between people--whether in pain or happiness, everyone's soul is half at first, there's no doubt about that--what we can know is that it's all there. Delaying, like a faint, cloudy picture, occasionally mixed with one or two poignant colors, she looked over and over, over and over, trying to engrave all the details into her mind and into every aspect of her life. In a crack, she even wanted to die in this picture.
It's not that the love between Sien and Xiaoxin is not touching, but that people are often superficial and will only be surprised by the inexplicable tragedy in front of the stage, but they don't know that the love between Sien and Xiaoxin can be said to be a lonely one to some extent. A huge projection of the heart. The indifferent teacher, the campus, the toilet, the turtle, the red bird, the dust raised by the grass on the playground, the rain, the distant lonely bird call, the glass, the piano, the shaded sky, the sprouts of the trees after the rain, Everything is just a set, waiting for a lonely heart to dance.
