The purpose of the special screening is to promote the movie, so reviews and other comments will naturally be released quickly after the screening.
Of course, there can’t be only one screening.
In fact, in addition to special screenings, more screenings are not just for public relations, but for market research.
In fact, before the large-scale release, most of the people who can go to some theaters have preferences in the type of movies in this area. Therefore, although it is not a targeted invitation, these people can have a good impression of the movie. The type has a better bias.
Naturally, the reputation of a movie usually reflects the quality of the movie.
"After watching this, I felt very deeply about this girl. She is independent and hard-working. She abides by her self-esteem but is not so sensitive that she has thorns all over her body. As another article said, she will grow up well without the boy. For coming-of-age movies It is very educational for children and parents, and it has very positive and valuable values regardless of setbacks or love."
"When you like me, I don't like you; when you fall in love with me, I fall in love with you; when you leave me, I fall in love with you; you go too fast, or I can't follow you Following in your footsteps... I haven’t seen such a pure love movie in a long, long time!”
"'Heartbeat' is undoubtedly a surprise. At a time when Hollywood is full of violence, gore, and all kinds of unhealthy things on the big screen, this movie is like a spring of fresh water that warms people's hearts."
"When she was jumping around him, he always ignored her. When he realized that his eyes could no longer leave her, she was as elegant, confident and beautiful as a goddess. I hope my baby girl can be the same. Like Julie!”
""Pumping Heart" is like seeing the beautiful scenery on that tree for the first time, like seeing your shining eyes for the first time. At that moment, I was inexplicably moved!"
"Worthy of being a miracle director, Lee's style has once again taught Hollywood directors a lesson. His techniques are smooth and concise, without falling into clichés or sentimentality. With the clever interaction between the childhood sweetheart boy/girl, It presents their different personalities, perspectives and differences, and the narration is full of innocence, humor and romance. With the clever interaction between the two, it also provides a delicate depiction of growth."
"I envy Juliana's family. I cried when I heard the perfect harmony between the two brothers. I envy her for having a good father who painted her beloved sycamore tree. I even envy her for having someone like Bryce. The cute boy finally realized that he liked her. I didn’t have any expectations at first, but in front of the fairy tale, I lost!"
"Girls have countless advantages that parents expect, and boys also have countless shortcomings that boys should have at that age. Everything is so real, but everything is so like a fairy tale! This is a very admirable film video!"
Many people who like this kind of movie are genre film lovers, and most of the first audiences to watch on-demand movies are from this group. Therefore, they naturally have to be more patient and emotional than other audiences.
Therefore, their first batch of comments will have such characteristics.
There are no "cool!" "handsome!" "awesome!" and other words that express "coolness" like those mainstream popcorn commercial films.
It’s more about interpreting the plot of the movie. Rather than just a certain lens and so on.
Carl Larris, the famous old-school Hollywood film critic, gave "Heartbeat" a high score of four and a half stars out of five stars in his personal column.
“It’s hard to imagine that this is a film shot by a Chinese director, and what’s even harder to imagine is that this Chinese director hasn’t even lived in the United States for too long.
I originally thought that he would not be able to capture the love of children in America, but "Heartbeat" once again created a miracle.
Why is it said to have created a miracle? Because this film seems to be incompatible with the open and free America. It seems a bit restrained. There is no surname, no violence, and it is so clean that it makes people feel like this is a fairy tale, or the director Li is a Chinese director and is the one who shot the film. This is the best explanation, but is this really the case?
This is actually a nostalgic film. The story takes place in a very long time ago. At that time, the corrupt and decadent culture had not yet prevailed in the United States. The love at that time was so sweet.
I think this is a distant spring evening. The tall tree and the distant clouds gathering around the sunset are undoubtedly the reflection of the little girl's beautiful soul. However, if we only discuss the background, it will inevitably be vulgar and narrow-minded. However, when you see a little girl in eighth grade climbing a proudly tall tree and looking at the distant dusk clouds, you can't help but feel her purity. A strong heart has a certain eye-catching aura and also has a certain symbolic meaning!
It even makes me imagine the Hollywood of today and the Hollywood of the past. In the Hollywood of the past, directors and screenwriters created things because of art, or mixed with a commercial atmosphere, but they preferred innovation.
Just like a little girl climbing to a high place and looking at the world, but now, Hollywood is like a cut down sycamore tree, and everyone seems to have lost their most precious imagination overnight.
I would even say that this is a story with some American spirit. It is hard to imagine that this was filmed by a Chinese director. Julie in the film is so capable! But, of course, that's not the point of the movie, and for a good first love movie, symbolism should never be the point.
Julie is sensible, independent and strong, insists on her own ideas, stands up to defend a tree, and at the same time defends herself. In the process of defending herself, she recognizes the central point of the external manifestation of her obsession with the little male protagonist. , those gorgeous eyes may be just a beautiful pillowcase, and the inside is just illusive and ethereal down. If it can't find a foothold to continue, it will be just another daydream, or it may be a nightmare, and in the end this The foothold completes the movie in the form of a tree!
Of course, the director undoubtedly favored Julie. He gave the girl more heart, and her personality was more delicate and smoother: silly obsession, giving eggs, these behaviors of hers looked childish, even for It's really a shameful thing for an adult to do. But for her age, nature and beauty seem to be the most natural things in the world. She found that the eggs were thrown and was hurt, she reflected on her current situation, worked hard to repair the courtyard, and forgave the male protagonist on the surface. She looked calm but was actually walking on thin ice. , went to visit his disabled uncle, and overheard the male protagonist discussing how he was hurt again.
I have to say that the change in her eyes from happy at the beginning to sad and angry later is heart-wrenching. She went to the boy's house for dinner and told the male protagonist that he was a coward. Julie's helpless act of kindness led to a mistake and she was forced to kiss. In the end, he forgave the boy in a true sense and at the same time corrected his position, and planted a tree together in a very healing way. The whole process shows the girl's growth path at a real and unhurried pace.
As for the tree, what I want to say is that the tree is really an image with strong vitality and healing power. At first, the little girl liked to climb the tree and look into the distance, forgetting all the worldly things. But then someone wanted to cut down the tree, and she Standing stubbornly and alone on the tree, stubbornly resisting, like an old fable. Dad looked at her and said "It's time" with some disappointment, and she began to understand, yes, it's time, it's time to come down. So, the tree was cut down and turned into an eternal painting on the wall, which will last forever. Stay in the girl's heart. At the end, the two plant a tree together again, which may also symbolize the tree of first love. The dream shines into reality from a convincing angle, brighter than the sun, so simple and unadulterated. It was just a look, a kiss that we had waited for too long and in the end we were not lucky enough to witness.
Compared with the growth process of girls, it seems that boys feel completely unworthy of such a good girl. However, in fact the movie tells a very simple fact: the mental development of little boys and little girls is not equal.
This is easy to understand. We have statistics. From primary school to junior high school, girls always have better grades than boys. Girls are precocious and boys are ignorant, so girls often fall in love with boys first. The boy is enlightened and the girl has started to think. Therefore, the two of them show a mental gap, but not a quality gap. Finally, he made a decision after his own thinking, had the courage to disobey his father, and made a correct judgment on his outlook on life and values.
Compared to girls, she is so perfect, with such personality, and so kind. She seems to be the daughter that countless parents long for, but I prefer boys!
Yes, I prefer the boy who seems to leave many viewers with only cowardice, entanglement, naivety, and handsomeness.
Because he is actually more real, we first need to know that the age when the boy and the girl first met, they were only eight years old!
Such children, do they understand what love is? Do you know what a pounding heart is? Obviously, they don't understand.
No matter how precocious a girl is, she still doesn’t understand the true meaning of these words. So why does a girl fall in love with a boy at first sight?
Maybe some people say it's because of a misunderstanding, but I prefer to believe it's because of curiosity and the boy's handsome face and eyes. What about the boy?
Many people have a natural feeling that if a girl likes a boy, then the boy should like the girl, but why is it inevitable?
For boys, girls only bring them trouble and embarrassment, at least until eighth grade. They become the objects of ridicule on campus. I believe that no boy will like that feeling. , so it’s only natural that he doesn’t like girls.
In fact, we have all ignored the fact that, as the audience, we are all adults!
We all look at boys and girls based on our preferences, so for us adults, naturally, the girl’s sensibleness, personality, persistence, and love of thinking, etc., and her independent spirit make us more attracted.
I think this is the director's use of this unequal psychology to cast magic on the girl, making her very popular.
But in fact, boys at this age don’t understand what liking and love are at all. What they like is the coolest girl in school, the most popular girl, and obviously, Julie is not!
She is the favorite of adults, but she is definitely not a beautiful girl in the eyes of her peers.
Do you often think back to the stupid things you did when you were a teenager? The answer is yes.
But at that time, you may have done something that you think is stupid now, but it will make you the brightest focus in the crowd.
Maybe the boy throwing away the eggs made many people find it incredible. How could he do that?
This is also a huge turning point in the film.
But what we have to admit is that this is a "stupid thing" for a boy of his age!
It is precisely because we do such stupid things so often that when we grow older, we have many memories and may wonder why we did that in the first place.
This is where we, the audience, are misled by the director.
Of course, this is also the strength of the director. He will use Julie to act as the perfect heroine in a fairy tale, and then throw in a very real Bryce as a foil.
Therefore, when stupidity and cleverness, cowardice and bravery appear together, it will give us a more peculiar feeling about the story of the film.
Look, that boy is a reflection of each of us in our youth, and he often does stupid things!
Look, that girl, she is so perfect. If we were at that age, we would probably be as crazy about her as boys, right? Because in reality, we can hardly find such a girl, right?
Because when we were young, we were probably all like boys, naive, and easily influenced by those friends around us who seemed to understand, but actually didn’t pretend to understand. Our kindness had no wisdom, so we were often taken advantage of. And being as cool as a girl is definitely a rare animal.
She had liked him since she was a child, and even though he never gave any response, she still had no hesitation, so she was inevitably sad and sad, and tasted all the five flavors of secret love.
One day, her father told her that a painting should be beautiful as a whole rather than as a whole.
Individual colors are colors, and individual lines are lines. Only when they are perfectly combined can a good painting be made.
As smart as she is, so are people.
She loved his jewel-like shining eyes, but she did not appreciate his cowardice, incompetence, snobbishness and ignorance.
Even though you have a skin that I love, your soul is empty.
There is crystal clear snow in the mountains, but at most you can only be the snow that sets off the scenery.
Girls are favored, and the two wisest people in the film both give the girl enough guidance, giving her enough courage and wisdom to face her own heart.
After tidying up the yard with her grandfather, the heroine sorted out her emotions.
She turned her head and looked steadily at him, who had a guilty look on his face and was about to apologize, and looked at the eyes that had once made her heart beat.
She no longer had any nostalgia.
When you are young, a boy's clean white shirt will make people's hearts flutter, but if he is dark and evil, will you choose to get out of it early or just ignore it? "
