The movie is over.
There was a very strange scene in the theater. Film critics and media people did not applaud, nor did they burst into tears watching Li Yi's movies like they did in the past.
But they were all extremely silent.
This movie is not the ultimate romantic movie, but it gives people a very special feeling.
Everyone has a feeling of loss.
Secret love is different from explicit love. It is an emotion that is still unspoken. It is an emotion that may last a lifetime and the other person still doesn't know that you once loved him or her.
After a long time, everyone realized what was happening and they all applauded in unison.
This is a compliment to this movie.
Moreover, many film critics and media people, after thinking deeply, will find that this movie seems to be interpretable in far more directions than that.
It's far more than just a secret love, there are also many things that are inexplicable.
The screening of "Love Letter" was because the first batch of screenings were all special screenings, and the people watching the movie were all film critics and media people. Therefore, after more than a dozen screenings on the first day, it did not appear on the Internet so quickly. Comments about this movie.
On the second day, ticket sales began for the general public, and some short reviews from fans slowly began to appear on the Internet.
"To be honest, the plot of the movie is actually not that complicated. Even the second half of the plot can be guessed. However, after watching it, I felt confused and lost. Only later did I understand. It turns out that this feeling is actually the feeling of secret love, eh!"
"Those unspoken confessions were finally heard by you."
"Maybe it's more emotional. For me, this movie is the ultimate tear-jerker. It's a movie that will make me shed tears no matter what!"
"There is no excessive love, there is only a melancholy feeling floating in the wind. I recall the girl who once helped me pay a dollar for the bus fare. Secret love is always a matter of one person!"
"It's the most amazing thing about this movie. How can it not be the biggest feature of Secret Love?"
"I actually cried when the card was turned over at the end."
"This person has been secretly in love with you for most of his life, and suddenly he fell into memories. Looking back, it seems that someone also secretly liked you before, but he didn't notice it at the time!"
"Perhaps you may not have had a vigorous relationship, but you must have had a secret love, or the memory of being secretly loved by someone, a five-star classic!"
"
So I can better understand the mood of the male Chen Bing. I can imagine the angle of his holding the pen, the strength of his writing, and the concentration of admiration, as if he wants to put all his love into the two words "Chen Bing". "It is best to write about first love using the memory method, because it filters out unnecessary details, leaving only the looming figure of the young man behind the white curtains."
As the number of screenings increases, and as more and more people watch this movie, it seems that once again, for the third time this year, there is a wave of nostalgia, a trend about secret love, and first love on the Internet. .
The movie "Love Letter" has also begun to be mentioned more and more.
Rich second-generation film critic Liu Fei, a die-hard fan of Li Yi, wrote a review immediately after watching the movie with his wife Chen Jingning.
Unlike the reviews of many film critics, he is more free-spirited.
So he started by complaining.
"I didn't know the plot before watching it, nor did I know that the heroine Tian Rongrong plays two roles, so when I saw the 15th minute, when the female Chen Bing received a letter from Lin Sui, I was completely confused. I was confused. : Aren't you her? Are you talking to yourself who the hell is? Aren't you Lin Sui? Then who is that person at the beginning?
So I couldn't help but turn around and ask my wife, isn't the heroine at the beginning called Lin Sui? Why do I lose my memory when I wear a mask?
There were ten thousand reasons in my mind, until my wife looked at me as if I were a fool and said: Can't you see that these are two roles played by the same actor? There's a big difference in personality, right?
Oops, I suddenly realized what was going on, but I still couldn't help complaining about why one person had to play two roles? Can't you find someone with a similar temperament? With one person playing two roles, can you add a little more distinction in terms of dressing up? I was really confused at the beginning!
But after watching the whole movie, I completely forgot to complain, because I suddenly felt stupid, really stupid.
Let’s get back to the subject, let’s talk about my feelings about this movie. Overall, this movie gives me a really beautiful feeling, not only the story, but also the photography style of the entire movie. It seems like there is a hazy layer from beginning to end. It's like the gauze is blocking the camera.
The overall rhythm is also quite slow, with the continuous exchange of letters between the two heroines as the backbone of the story, and the difficulties that the two people have to overcome in their own lives as a supplement. The narration style really makes people feel like they have returned to that time. The Age of Romantic Letters.
In this era where even offices are paperless and even letters and stamps have become antiques, I suddenly miss that romantic era when paper was short and love lasted.
Things written in black and white on paper always feel more weighty.
Perhaps this is why I have always preferred reading physical books rather than using mobile phones or electronic products to read.
After watching the movie, I had a discussion with my wife, or in other words, while watching the movie, I thought at first that Lin Sui was infatuated, but in the end I found out that he was just a substitute. But after watching the whole movie, I thought about it carefully. After that, I overturned my superficial view.
The two heroines look very similar, and Director Gou used the same person to play these two roles to highlight this point, but is the similarity a substitute? I think this is a very superficial understanding. Perhaps, at the beginning, the first impression is indeed easy to judge a book by its appearance, but love is never just that layer of skin. Anyone who has watched the entire film should be able to find that Lin Sui and the female Chen Bing is completely different, including her tone of voice, personality, and writing style. They are definitely not the same person.
The male Chen Bing had a crush on the female Chen Bing when he was a student. Later he met Lin Sui, fell in love with her at first sight and pursued her bravely and passionately. I think this is indeed because she reminded him of his first love. This is true, but it is just that. That's all. If Chen Bing really loves Lin Sui as a substitute, is it really possible for the two of them to get married?
Loving someone with a similar appearance but completely different personality will only remind yourself how different the person in front of you is from the person you once loved, which will only make people more painful.
So he fell in love with Lin Sui later, instead of using her to make up for the regrets of his first love.
I think what this film wants to talk about is not about substitution at all. What it wants to talk about is a simple story about two women connected by a common man. One of the women bid farewell to the past with love and memories, and the other By chance, the woman learned the beautiful story that this man had a crush on her.
Finally, I have to say, this is such a tender and sad movie.
Lin Sui loved him so deeply that she was unwilling to give up any chance to get to know him even after his death. She longed to hear the stories he had experienced and to witness the playground where he once ran. But in the end, she chose to say goodbye to the past. The letters she sent back represented the memories she and her daughter Chen Bing had shared, but "these are your memories, so these letters also belong to you." They did not belong to her, she Chen Bing has stayed in the echo of the valley forever.
As for the female Chen Bing, in the end, "The story I can share with you ends here", and when she saw her portrait on the back of her library card, "I am shy, so I will not send this letter." Because this should be her own secret, a beautiful secret of first love that makes people cover their mouths and snicker.
From beginning to end, this is a very restrained and to-the-point story. The male Chen Bing's confession to his first love before he transferred to another school was just a simple sentence: "Please return the book to the library for me" and "Don't ask, please, please return it to me." Apart from looking back at each other on the street, Lin Sui and her daughter Chen Bing never met again. They only exchanged letters and nothing else. What is revealed in his bones is an extremely restrained emotion.
And this kind of restrained emotion is the most beautiful. "
