"In the winter of 1990, on a bustling and busy rest day, people were shopping for Christmas gifts for their relatives and friends. Jonathan met Sarah because of a pair of woolen gloves. , The two strangers are magically attracted to each other. Despite the fact that they each have an emotional destination, they still fall in love hopelessly on this romantic night, and they can’t help but fall in love in the night of Manhattan. I wandered all night.”

This story cannot be recommended to me born in the 1980s. It is obviously "split". Under the education of Chinese classical Confucianism, men, three wives and four concubines have not been praised yet, women More should abide by the professional ethics of "three obediences and four ethics". This film obviously has the evil motive of educating people how to "split legs", but fortunately, I was influenced by the advanced education of the DPRK and the important thinking of "Three Represents" and the ideological purification of "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces". I resisted such "splitting" educational films, and removed the essence and the falsehood to preserve the truth, which gave me the courage and confidence to write this film review. Sorry,

let’s get back to business... " However, the night always disappears. When dawn comes, the two have to make the next decision. When Jonathan proposed to exchange phone numbers with each other, Sarah decided to pin their reunion on In terms of fate, she took out a five-yuan bill and asked Jonathan to write his contact information, and then went straight to the grocery store and used the bill to buy chewing gum. Sarah said that if fate, the bill would surely return to her hand. At that time, she will immediately contact Jonathan. At the same time, she also left her contact information on an old book and sold the book to an old book stand. Then the two broke up and left. Everything depends on God’s will and Fate..."

However, after a short encounter, there are endless thoughts and pains. Women and men continue to live in their respective worlds, but never forget the moment when they were alone with the person who fell in love at first sight. They always tried in their respective worlds. Looking for the shadow of the other party. This makes me feel a little bit emotional: We are also walking step by step on our respective life tracks, but we don’t know what is the end. It’s just that the scenery on the way makes me forget the fatigue of the journey, and I pay attention to the more beautiful scenery every day. In other words, the more beautiful scenery is the harbor where my wandering heart can settle down, but I don't know where it is. I just look for it every day, consciously or unconsciously, maybe she has already appeared, and just passed me by; maybe she is still far away and never met me. I have always believed in the existence of this landscape.

"Ten years later, still in New York, Jonathan became a producer, and Sarah worked as a psychotherapist in San Francisco. The fate of the two people has never met since the encounter. At this time, they are busy. As Jonathan was preparing for the wedding, recalling that brief romance, he couldn’t help feeling a little sad, so he decided to make one last effort-to find the book with Sarah's call. After many setbacks, Jonathan was excited that a miracle happened. ... "

This is the typical Hollywood ending, the comedy is here, there is nothing left to say. I think if it is a Korean stick, the ending must be like this: one day, the protagonists met and fell in love. But one day soon, a certain protagonist went to another world for some reason (terminally ill, car accident, etc.). The one who lives alone wanders where they met and fell in love, until one day, someone who looks exactly like her/him appears, is that really her/him? Is it still possible?

Then, A Zhe's voice faintly sounded: If this is the final ending, why can't I forget you... Could it be that I just live my life like this, my kiss, I am destined to not kiss my favorite People, waiting for you, from the beginning to the present, it’s also impossible... the end of the movie
