The following are the notes
1. The time limit is well set. The preciousness of love is either the long time or the short time. On the one hand, it will enhance the audience's viewing experience, and as the countdown approaches, the rhythm will become more and more gripping. On the other hand, the value of the love theme will be deepened due to the scarcity of time.
2. The theme of the romance film is that nothing can stop love. The setting of this film is that "time is too short to stop love", or it can be simply summarized as "one-night stand is also love".
3. Jesse and Selena are both poor and the setting is good, romance is out of material. On the one hand, it is easy for young audiences to enter it, and on the other hand, it is easy to let love get rid of material constraints. A bottle of red wine on credit not only reflects the society's blessings for love, but also makes love extremely romantic. Romance is an ethos, it doesn't depend on your wealth, fame and status. Secular emphasis on material, romantic emphasis on spirit. Only out of the material plane can you touch the real romance.
4. Jesse and Selena were cast well. The two actors have a very good temperament, they are both outgoing, some talkative, and have high emotional intelligence.
5. The empty mirror at the end of the film is very meaningful. The cemetery where the unnamed dead are buried; the round benches on which they once leaned against the window in the narrow walkway; the fountain where they met the fortune-tellers; the silent river that washed countless bodies in water to the bank; the green grass where drinking and watching the stars and the empty wine bottles on the grass . These empty mirrors form a strong contrast with the dense lines of the whole movie, and also form a contrast with the night scene at night, the audience can easily come to the emotional experience of "things are different"
6. Several different kissing scenes produced completely different feelings. Kissing scenes at different stages have different meanings. The test of the Ferris wheel, the passion on the grass, and the strong farewell at the station.
7. Romance is deliberate. Accidental encounter is because there is no deliberate, because refined. What is his name? What's her name again? How the family situation, etc., are clichés. The film was shot in 1995, and many scenes in the film at that time were otherworldly. First of all, the one-night stand is groundbreaking for many viewers. The randomness of the sudden change of schedule in the film surprised the audience. There are people on the roadside selling poems, fortune tellers, etc. It is like a miniature road movie. If you watch other people sing love songs in the new film now, you will also sing love songs. Watching others put candles, so put candles too. The mind is imprisoned, loses its creativity, and becomes a spiritual slave. There is no new idea, everything is conventional, just to go through the motions. Romance for romance's sake is not romance.
8. In romantic romance films, the hero and heroine basically meet for the first time in the form of chance encounters. Implies a special and surprising meaning. It's rare to see a hero and heroine meet for the first time because of a blind date, and if that's the case, it's not sacred, and it doesn't make people feel fated.
9. The details are real creates the realism of the film. There is no so-called vigorous car accident, disease, death, etc., but it makes the audience more believe in authenticity. In the part of listening to love songs in the audition room, in the cramped space, I wanted to see each other, but I was a little reserved, and left as soon as my eyes met. It was a long time, very good.
10. The phone calls in the restaurant are well set up, changing the perspective of storytelling. Conversations are always smart. Pretend to call your friends, but it's a game to tell the truth
11. Fulfill a man's fantasy: meet a strange and beautiful woman and sleep with her by charm. A woman's fantasy was fulfilled: I met a strange and handsome man and held his hand and talked all day.
12. A lot of concepts of time and space transfer are used. For example, the heroine recalls in flashbacks that she was initially attracted to the hero because he talked about seeing her grandmother's ghost in the rainbow. Change the timeline again and say goodbye in advance. Finally, it was agreed again that after half a year, how to calculate the time and other details.
13. Although it is a road film, all the waypoints have been designed. In the beginning, other couples quarreled, the heroine changed seats, and the two were in a small and boring confined space. It can be said that loneliness started them off. Next, there is the confined space of the Ferris wheel and the confined space of the audition room, which makes the relationship between the two continue to escalate.
14. The death topic in the cemetery is well set. The thirteen-year-old girl in the unnamed cemetery is the same: ten years have passed, the thirteen-year-old heroine has grown by ten years, and the little girl who lost her life is still only thirteen years old. The lost life made her thirteen years become eternity.
15. The narrative ability to keep flipping between scales. At the end, on the grass, the girl said that she didn't want to meet again because it was for sex. At this time, the audience's expectation became that she would not have sex, but the boy went on to say that he hoped to have sex this time, but the girl directly refused. Just as the audience was disappointed, The girl asked why it was so complicated.
16. Through dialogue to explain the history, both of them are single people who have lost their love. In the plot, they are constantly looking for ways to make the dialogue uninterrupted, and once it is interrupted, their fragile relationship at the time will end.
17. This film is not essentially about a love story, but about the loneliness of people and how to resolve loneliness through connection, but the director chose love as the carrier. The essence of love is a complex relationship between people, and the connection between people depends on continuous communication and understanding.
18. The Love Triangle: Passion, Intimacy, and Commitment. Passion is the erotic component of love, the emotional fascination; intimacy is the warm experience that can be evoked in a love relationship; commitment is the decision expectation or guarantee to maintain the relationship. The three elements of passion, intimacy and commitment make up seven different types of love.
