The film is well conceived, beautifully shot, and can be said to be a well-crafted film. Delicate feelings are revealed, the plot is undisturbed, there are no ebbs and flows, great joys and sorrows, but it is just the life experience of a female college student who just entered the school, and the story of her own love hidden behind her. Accompanied by this brisk, bright piano piece, the shot begins with the parents sending Yuzuki Uzuki to Tokyo to go to university at the station. It was a snowy weather, Yuno left the cold Hokkaido, and came to Tokyo alone, which is the season of cherry blossoms. She settled down in her house, and all the trivial matters of admission, such as class placement, opening ceremony, etc., all things unfolded naturally in love. In the self-introduction of her classmates, Yuye seemed a little restrained. When her classmates asked her why she came to go to university in Tokyo so far from home, she did not say that she liked the environment of this school, as if there were other reasons behind it.
The peaceful college life began. The film did not show too much about the life in Yuye school, only a few scenes, reading alone on the campus with green grass, or watching a movie - facing the approach of strangers. Panic and flee, or learn to fish with classmates. She often went to a bookstore called "Musashido" to read and occasionally buy books. There was only one young man running the bookstore. When Yuye was reading, he couldn't help but glance at him secretly, as if he was very concerned. In an accidental opportunity, Yuye told his classmates that he had a crush on his senior, Yamazaki, in high school. The senior was one level older than her and was admitted to a university in Tokyo. Therefore, Yuye, who was not very good at learning, relied on the power of this love. Miraculously, he was admitted to Yamazaki's university. She said very proudly: "If this can also be called a miracle, I would rather call it a miracle of love." She once visited Tokyo with her classmates after her senior went to college, and learned that her favorite senior was in a school called She works part-time in a bookstore in "Musashido", so she frequents this bookstore. Finally, Yamazaki recognized Yuye as his junior in the bookstore. Yuye tried his best to keep his excitement and asked if Yamazaki was still in the band? Yamazaki smiled and said, no. It was raining outside that day, and Yuye did not bring an umbrella. Yamazaki just wanted to borrow an umbrella from the bookstore to Yuye, but she ran away embarrassedly, saying that her home was nearby. The rain was so heavy that Yuye had no choice but to come back. Yamazaki took out an umbrella and lent it to Yuye. Yuye picked a red one. In the rain, Yuye under the umbrella faced Yamazaki at the door of the bookstore. The two smiled at each other, and then Yuye ran away. . The film is over, as if the story is not over yet.
Yuye's peculiar restraint of a girl, and the subtle mood of her crush on seniors, are implicitly expressed in the film. Recalling the impression of the senior in my heart in middle school, I only used an illusory picture, the senior playing the guitar in the field far away. And when the senior went to school, Yuye secretly took away the sign with the senior's name in front of the class. Through these tiny details, Yuye's love for the senior was clearly and implicitly transformed into a picture, such as a small stream flowing through a mountain stream. Fresh and eloquent. Maybe this is not real love, more like unrequited love or adolescence. The feeling of watching a movie or being immersed in that atmosphere makes me feel particularly comfortable and yearning.
what is love? Isn't that the pure feeling? Although there is no hand-in-hand kiss, and no oath to accompany each other, what does these love for the "Yunye" have to do with it? Keeping the imagination of his beauty and transforming your love for him into silent actions and silent expressions, isn't it just as warm and just as captivating? Maybe the result of love is not the only purpose and final answer of love, as long as you care about your love, as long as you think this love is worthwhile, maybe all worldly, utilitarian and even desire thoughts can disappear in this love. in emotions. Accompanied by cherry blossoms falling, in the season of love.
In the rain, under the red umbrella, Yuye's smile is so happy, maybe this smile has been rippling in her innocent heart for a long time, maybe all the thoughts and concerns are melted in this happy smile. The rain is still falling, and the love is still there.
