OK, let's get started.
The feeling this movie gives me is that I really shouldn't expect the screenwriters of Taiwanese commercial films in the past few years (x).
The main axis of this story is actually very simple. In the 1980s, the story of two boys' high schools in a private boys' school with conservative style before and after the martial law fell in love, and because of the conservative atmosphere, one of them wanted to love but did not dare to love, and finally the two were separated from each other. After more than 30 years, we meet again and face our feelings calmly.
In fact, this story is really not difficult to write as a commercial film. As long as the two male protagonists face the entanglement between love and family and society, one hopes to love bravely, and the other wants to love but dare not love, and the family and personality of both parties, to highlight why the two Making such a choice, I think if I do this, I will give an 80 points.
But for this movie, first of all, I think the script is too thin, and it gives too many scenes to show the emotions of the actors. I can't get rid of the kind of literary film that we stereotyped, but it is not very literary, so it becomes stuck in the literary film. In the middle of commercial films, it may also be because the previous gay plots were mostly literary films, so they have not yet gotten rid of that shadow. But with such a plot design, I think the story is too low, so that the story is not clear.
The design of the story is also very problematic. It should be a story with two male protagonists, but it emphasizes a lot of Chen Haosen's characters. From the beginning to the end, there are many scenes of Chen Haosen's sadness and emotional explosion, which makes Zeng Jinghua's role that line. It's very secretive, in fact, this is the line that can hook the audience's emotions more (wanting to love but not daring to love). As a result, Chen Haosen's character is self-conscious and affectionate. Zeng Jinghua's character is very passive, like a scumbag who refuses and loves Chen Haosen's character again.
But Zeng Jinghua's role is to face feelings, love the other party but dare not admit it, try to make himself "normal" and "good for the other party". At the same time, the wealthy family and the excellence of his sisters may have made him suffer even more family pressure, and being an only son made him even more afraid to "cross the line". These emotions make Zeng Jinghua's role should be very three-dimensional, and the complexity of emotions makes him very painful, and the pain of performance can firmly grasp the hearts of the audience. But in the movie, he didn't even have a scene where his emotions exploded.
Moreover, the character building in the front is also a bit disconnected from the concept of love in the back. I don’t know if the director wanted to contradict it. At first, when Zeng Jinghua’s character saw Qi Jiawei’s arrest, he would go forward to make a theory. When he saw his younger brother being bullied because of his pussy, he would go straight to save him. If you want to love but don't dare to love, this should be a gap. If you want to contrast it, you should have some characterizations, but Zeng Jinghua's lines really don't show much, and even he is regarded as a weirdo.
I think Zeng Jinghua's role is really too vague and too thin in terms of the script. Originally a drama with two male protagonists, it has become a male protagonist and a male supporting role.
And this kind of ambiguity will make Chen Haosen's role too active and pay, and become a bit tangled and annoying. My friend said that when he asked Zeng Jinghua's character what he wanted from me, he thought it was you who wanted me, and he kept pestering others. Maybe because of Chen Haosen's good acting, I don't feel that way, but I also think that it's not because the other party cares about you, it means something...
The character of the male lead, Chen Haosen, rushed to Penghu. The two were lying on the beach. With the narration, they never saw each other again. I thought maybe the male lead finally understood each other's difficulties and wanted to break up. One or two years later, I called the other party and played the movie theme song (?) to the other party. They both cried on the other end of the phone. It was very touching, but I couldn't understand why. Chen Haosen's character asked Zeng Jinghua again. The character said that he was getting along with the schoolgirl or something. I really don't understand that part. What's the purpose of it other than putting a good movie theme song? ? ? ? ?
The drama 30 years later made me a little bit more confused. I originally thought it would be the kind of life regret of seeing each other after seeing the vicissitudes of life, "we can't go back", but it was actually a drama close to a big reunion, which made me a little bit. surprised.
However, although the plot is not very good, I still like this movie very much. Even I privately guess that this movie should be good at the box office.
Does the audience really care about the plot? In fact, as long as we live well, what are we looking at? It is to let us feel the love between the characters! ! ! !
The acting skills of Chen Haosen and Zeng Jinghua really saved this movie, the film critics are right, their acting skills make this movie very smooth, because of them I really feel the kind of affection, the kind of cuteness between the two boys, that A young and young love that will be unforgettable for a lifetime, simply put, it is too much love! ! ! ! Chen Haosen's role makes you feel his deep affection, especially his jealousy, concern, and sadness for Zeng Jinghua's character, ignoring him, which makes my heart also feel sad; and Zeng Jinghua's role is limited, but there are several scenes. It also makes me think, oh my god, so cute, so pitiful, coming to my sister's arms to show Xiuxiu(?)
What I particularly like is a scene where Zeng Jinghua's character was injured in his hand, and Chen Haosen's character insisted on going in to help him take a bath, but of course he rubbed off his gun while washing. but! What impresses me is not the erotic expression on his face when he wipes the gun (?) in the back, but Chen Haosen's character wants to bathe the other party, Zeng Jinghua's character washes his hair obediently, and I felt love at that moment! ! Moreover, when the hand slid down from the chest to the abdomen later, the bodies of the two were pressed together, and I could also feel the erotic desire that was aroused! !
In fact, during the part of the phone call, the two crying on the other end of the phone were really touching, especially Chen Haosen's character had rain behind him. Not only did the tears run down his face, but the rain wet his hair, which was really touching. I also found the part where I asked the priest how my love was different from yours.
What I like about Zeng Jinghua is that he was beaten by his father in the coaching office. Later, the role of Chen Haosen came, and he wanted to protect Chen Haosen's role and not let him tell the part. That part of the relationship was well played, but he could play it. There are really too few places woohoo.
But the young girls' actors are too tender = = They look too like real high school students, it seems that Zeng Jinghua and the others don't look like real high school students, especially Chen Haosen, because Zeng Jinghua has the cuteness of a teenager, but Chen Haosen is more mature handsome.
In terms of looks, I actually think Zeng Jinghua looks better than Chen Haosen. At the beginning, when both of them shaved their heads, Zeng Jinghua looked better. But Chen Haosen's face is really photogenic, especially in the scenes of the movie, it looks very handsome from certain angles, especially after the hair ban is lifted later. Zeng Jinghua may also be less handsome because he has less room to play.
In the middle-aged period, I thought Dai Liren was a little old at first, but then I calculated their ages with my friends and found that they were both 40 and 50. The classmates I was looking for were too young, but Dai Liren's age was just right. But the part of the classmates reunion is too much, you can directly jump to the dialogue with the school girl.
But Dai Liren still has the temperament of Chen Haosen's character anyway. A middle-aged actor like a schoolgirl has a very serious appearance, and Zeng Jinghua's character is also very handsome. It's really not that handsome now, not like when Zeng Jinghua's character got old.
However, although the middle-aged scenes were not very abusive, I saw Wang Shixian send Dai Liren to the door of the hotel and said good night (good night in the movie means "I love you" when I was a teenager, because of the Roman pinyin), and then Dai Liren turned his head. Lai also said good night, and the two repeated good night two or three times. This scene really hit me, probably because Wang Shixian turned his back to the camera (X).
Why did the two look to the other side in the end, and they started to sing the theme song when they were young, because the middle-aged group would destroy the atmosphere (X).
To sum up, I still recommend this movie, because the actors use their acting skills to make up for the lack of the script, and it will still make people feel very loving. The songs in the movie are very good, and there is a chance to win the best movie song of the Golden Horse, but Dai Liren Shouldn't win the Best Supporting Actor(?), I'm curious why the supporting actor is not reported to Zeng Jinghua, I think his role as a supporting actor is just right.
This movie made me feel that Taiwan has begun to cultivate a new batch of actors in the entire film and television industry, and their physical and acting skills are also good. Whether the next movie and TV series can attract the audience depends on the skill of the screenwriter. Pretty good.
