In fact, youth is both ordinary and special, because similar experiences will make us sing, and as different individuals, after singing, we are more thinking about our own lives. Therefore, what I recommend to you today is a seemingly ordinary youth movie-Heart.
I don't know if everyone is like me. When I hear the word "heartbeat", the first thing is the soothing and moving melody that lingers in my ear. Yes, this is the cover of Chen Jieyi in I am a singer.
How long has it been since I last saw you?
I thought you were there.
It once lived in my heart.
Breathe with me
How far is it?
Thought I couldn't smell you.
Who knew your back was so long?
see you later
The theme song of this movie of the same name was written by Lin. I have to say, it really complements the emotion and plot of the movie, and will be unconsciously pulled back into the movie by this song.
Ok, so much preparation has begun to get down to business. The movie "Heart" is a youth movie that tells the love story in the 1970s. It may not be accurate enough, but strictly speaking, it should be a romantic movie, because the timeline of this movie spans 20 years and the perspective is wider. Directed and starred by Zhang Aijia, the film was released simultaneously in Hong Kong and Taiwan in China on September 23rd. 1999. Zhang Aijia also won the Best Screenplay Award at the 1999 Academy Awards for this film.
Perhaps most young audiences are not familiar with director Zhang Aijia. Jonathan Lee's single The Price of Love is the most familiar one. She herself has made great achievements in acting, singing and directing, and is a talented woman. And this film is also one of her masterpieces. At the same time, I also watched another film directed and starred by Amway, which was my favorite.
Then let's talk about cass in the film. This film not only features the director Zhang Aijia, but also the three main creators, Takeshi Kaneshiro, who is so handsome that I don't know what words to use to describe it, Liang Yongqi, who was a jade girl at that time, and Karen Mok, who is eccentric. Very luxurious configuration has wood.
Takeshi Kaneshiro's face value in the film is really impeccable, and the youthful atmosphere from the pavement makes even the acne on his face feel so cute. Every frame of the picture can be used as a desktop, and the whole process is infatuated.
Before entering the feature film, we must first make it clear that there are two story lines intertwined in the film. One is Cheryl, a middle-aged female directors, who is discussing with the screenwriter about shooting a love story about the first love, and the other is the emotional entanglement between Ruan Haojun and Li Chen in female directors's play. In fact, the script is based on female directors's real experience.
At the beginning of the film, Zhang Aijia plays female directors Cheryl sitting in a bar and discussing with another girl the guitarist who is performing on the stage, that is, middle-aged Hao Jun. Lights, music and wine glasses create a warm and ambiguous atmosphere.
Then female directors walked past the mall with cameras in their hands and began to think about what love is, what is the definition of love, and why this woman was with this man instead of this man, but a few years later she married another man. So she decided to shoot a simple love story.
Then, at the request of the director, the guard Takeshi Kaneshiro entered the picture of female directors. This lens switches back and forth between black and white and color. If you look closely, you will find that only Haojun is changing in the crowd. This scene also appeared at the end of the film, and 20 years seemed to pass in a trance.
As the plot of this scene was pulled back to 1977, the concert that Xiao Rou Haojun met was love at first sight.
After a party, the seeds of their love sprouted and grew rapidly. It is natural to come together. After they get together, they go dancing, go to the movies and wait for dawn at the station. Anyway, couples have basically done everything they should do together.
The famous saying "Xiu En Ai dies quickly" seems to be very effective in this film. The two-hour movie only left 30 minutes for little Ruan Haojun. Later, because of Xiaorou's mother's obstruction and misunderstanding between them, the two broke up. Haojun didn't go to college twice, so he took 1000 dollars from his father and went to travel alone.
Having said that, Xiao Ruan Haojun's emotional theater has come to an end for the time being. Then there is the crucial third role, namely Chen Li played by Karen Mok. She is an important line that runs through Xiao Ruan Haojun's feelings. If you only watched the first half of the film, or your practice is still shallow, you may think that this is another bloody drama with your best friend, so you can only say that you are too young and naive to underestimate the strength of the screenwriter.
The role of Chen Li is actually a bit tragic. The best girlfriend is her favorite woman. In order not to destroy the friendship with Xiaorou, she has been pretending and hiding her feelings until she went to Japan to marry Haojun, and she never forgot Xiaorou. She tried to get married and have children like an ordinary woman and live an ordinary and simple life, but in the end she couldn't get rid of the bondage of her feelings. Finally, she faced her heart and confided in Haojun. It turns out that they have always loved the same woman, and divorce is inevitable (these two are rivals in love)
The second half of the film is the climax of the whole film.
After many years' absence, Xiaorou, who was on a business trip to Japan, overheard her familiar voice in the hotel where she stayed. After much hesitation, she walked in the direction of the voice. Sure enough, a long-awaited face appeared in front of the noisy crowd.
When I meet Hao again, I am already a tour guide who travels around every day, and Xiaorou has also become a member of the clothing industry.
At that time, they died of illness, leaving them with endless nostalgia and regret, and the old feelings rekindled when they met again.
Time is ruthless, it will not only leave indelible lines on the handsome young face, but also draw an insurmountable gap between two people who were once so close. Feelings still exist, but we are different at this time.
When Hao Jun said with anticipation, "You have worked hard, when will you have time to marry me?" All he was waiting for was a slightly bitter smile.
At the end of the film, Li Chen died of cancer, and Cheryl reunited with middle-aged Hao Jun. When we parted at the airport, Hao Jun gave Cheryl a box. On the plane, Cheryl opened the box, which contained a stack of sky photos at different times and in different States, and the shooting time was indicated on the back of the photos. Cheryl picked up a piece of paper inside and wrote, "This is the day when I miss you. I will give it all to you. " Seeing this sentence, I burst into tears. These photos were taken by Hao Jun on the rooftop of Japan, which entrusted Hao Jun's deep affection and yearning for Cheryl for decades.
At the end of the film, Cheryl made the finishing touch, which made them have a happy ending in their own screenplay.
Under the blue sky, two students are leaning under a lush tree, smiling at each other and looking into the distance.
Although they didn't get together in the end, it was a happy ending for the film.
This ending design reminds me of the English literary romance novel Atonement starring A Beauty. It is also because of various misunderstandings and obstacles in reality that two people can't be together and continue to write a happy ending in the script of the story. Seeing this ending, I don't know whether I am happy or sad. I can't cry anyway.
Xiaorou in this film is actually the incarnation of female directors Cheryl. In the process of writing this story with the screenwriter, she began to look at this relationship from a brand-new angle and return to her past bit by bit. Originally, she only looked at this relationship from her own standpoint, but when she rethought it from Haojun's standpoint, she found that Haojun had made many invisible sacrifices and gave up for her.
?
We may not have experienced such a long emotional long-distance running between Haojun and Xiaorou, nor have we experienced such a complicated triangular emotional entanglement. In those days, the young Hao Jun and Xiao Rou who were desperate to face themselves were not you, me and him.
