In the audio-visual language class in the morning, the teacher played "Calling for Love in the Center of the World". In fact, I should have watched it for the second time, but I didn't finish it the first time. The last part of the movie was really sensational, and most of the girls in the class cried with red eyes. The twitching shoulders of classmate Xiaoxiong are still lingering in my mind.
In fact, I don't really like this movie, and I didn't finish it because I thought it was a bit contrived. This is called the most beautiful and sensational movie after "Love Letter", which reminded me of Korean dramas and Grandma Qiong Yao countless times in the process of watching. The director is Shunji Iwai's assistant director (I don't know if Japan is the queen), and he and Iwai have made many movies such as "Love Letter" and "Swallowtail Butterfly". Many of the production team also participated in the shooting of Iwai Shunji's film, so in this film, you can often see some very Iwai-style pictures and people with beautiful scenery. But often Iwai Shunji's movie protagonists are more or less mentally ill, in order to show cruelty; while the heroine of this movie is really sick, or is used vulgar leukemia. The movie is about an infinitely beautiful and incomparably pure love story, but as I watched the movie, I felt that this kind of story would not be staged in real life. So, except for the excessive sensationalism at the end that made me shed a few tears involuntarily, the movie basically didn't move me.
But it may also be that I am too confused about the style. When I saw the reactions of my classmates, many people couldn't help shedding a lot of tears. Maybe because of emotion. But I also wonder if the combination of piano and strings can earn the sympathy of girls.
Of course, I think a lot of people would still like a movie like this. After all, what can't happen in real life, we can only expect to be staged in the world of light and shadow. I have to say that this is also a kind of sadness. "Calling for Love in the Center of the World", perhaps it is because the reality is too poor that makes such a love fairy tale extraordinarily precious and beautiful. And the prince and princess did not live a happy life in the end, which added a little regret and melancholy to it. Probably, this is one of the reasons why movies and books are so popular.
PS. I didn't watch the movie last night, but I got up late this morning and was late... I was called to answer the question as soon as I sat down... I immediately gave an example of "Blue Kite"... It seems that I answered well and was praised...
