This is a story about missing out. Some met in a panic, while others simply said goodbye. On the early morning when my sister Yuan Zhinan passed away, only a letter and an invitation letter for the classmate reunion were hurriedly left behind.
Sister Zhihua attends the class reunion instead of her older sister, but unexpectedly meets Yin Chuan, her childhood crush. The memories of the past are awakening, but when they meet again, things are different.
How should I say this one, the director and actors are all fine, the degree of completion is high, the set and costumes are beautiful, but the problem lies in the script, so it is quite fatal. 4 stars for the first half, 3 stars for the second half, 3.5 stars overall.
But I still want to say that this is a movie worth watching, not because the starring is Zhou Xun (of course this is a very important reason).
The first half is very beautiful, and the story is also very lifelike. The second half finally introduces the main line (the love of youth and the cause of death of Zhinan), but I think the first half is my ideal pure love movie, ambiguous, hesitating, clean and pure. Although the second half is a more "typical" pure love movie, the available plots are still old plots, which are a bit superficial and routine.
The node that I distinguish between the upper and lower parts is that the male protagonist Yin Chuan found Zhihua pretending to be Zhinan. After the meeting, although they didn't have a heart-to-heart conversation, they talked a lot. Afterwards, the male protagonist revisited his old place and told the past time with Zhinan's children. Judging from the plot alone, in the first half everyone exchanged letters and dialogues in the air, and in the second half they communicated face to face. It seemed that the distance was closer, but instead the story was broken up, and everyone (the characters in the movie and the audience) wanted to be together The discomfort of being moved by Yin Chuan and Zhi Nan's love.
To be honest, it is becoming more and more difficult for our generation to open up to other people's love, no matter how pure love is, we cannot pry it open. Those pure love movies that touch us are actually impressive, and many of them are not love. For example, the male protagonist in "Flower and Alice" has no memory, but Yu Aoi's paper cup ballet is still engraved in his heart. What impresses me in "Pingran Heartbeat" is the bravery and self-confidence of the heroine. "Love Letter" is the remembrance of those who have passed away. The phrase "How are you? I'm fine." can poke me more than the sketch on the back of the library card.
Good pure love movies will never be limited to love. In this regard, I can recommend two animated movies "Listen to the Ear" and "The Girl Goes Forward". To be honest, I have forgotten whether the hero and heroine are together in their endings, but The emotions contained in it and the main line of female growth are very moving. They are all cute teenagers and girls. The girls in it are not the type that is very feminine. They are all childish and not in love. It can even be said that It's the kind that's very clueless. However, a girl's adolescence is not about thinking about love all day long. Exams, novels, games, pocket money and aunts, which one is not more important than love? Good pure love movies really need to consider adding a more delicate and real female perspective.
The first half of "Hello, Zhihua" has been achieved. Who said that the life of mother and grandma is not a pure love movie? It's a pity that the second half may be because the narrator has become a male protagonist, and has lost the touching and warmth brought by the female perspective in front. Watching a middle-aged male writer talk about his first love in a lifetime, even if he has thick hair, or his rival is Hu Ge, it is impossible to arouse the hearts of girls like a high-sugar drama with powerful human settings.
Finally, I still recommend everyone to go to the theater to watch this movie. Shunji Iwai uses blue very well, and some details that make you smile are great. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
