I accidentally turned to Ni Ni 's "old" movie, and I didn't expect to finish it laughing and crying. I say this movie is "old" because it was released in 2016, but it has never been announced. It's a pity that it missed its best opportunity.

"28-year-old underage " is a "fantasy" drama with a light comedy style directed by Zhang Yimou 's daughter Zhang Mo , starring Ni Ni, Huo Jianhua , and paired with Wang Dalu and Ma Su.

Baidu defines it as a love drama, which I think is still inaccurate; personally it should be called a "growth" drama - because the core of the story is not that the protagonist has found love, but that he can find his once confident and energetic self!

The story goes like this:

28-year-old Liang Xia thought that her boyfriend Mao Liang, who had been in love for ten years, would propose to her. Who knew that Mao Liang had no such plan at all, and politely rejected Liang Xia at her best friend's wedding, and even sent her a message to break up with her.

Liang Xia couldn't accept it for a while. While driving to chase Mao Liang, she accidentally ate a fantasy chocolate ordered from the Internet, and then realized that she had become herself when she was seventeen years old.

After that, Liang Xia changed back and forth between the ages of seventeen and twenty-eight.

Seventeen-year-old Liang Xia is enthusiastic and energetic, with bold and novel paintings. She falls in love with a crazy motorcycle guy, and is attracted by Mao Liang's investor, Mr. Gao, for his unique painting design;

Twenty-eight-year-old Liang Xia completely loses herself in order to save Mao Liang, and can no longer even draw her favorite painting. Finally, stimulated by her seventeen-year-old self, she slowly begins to find her own state.

In the end, the seventeen-year-old love burned into ashes, and the twenty-eight-year-old Liang Xia regained her own beauty when she was confident. In the last scene, Mao Liang fulfills the vow he made when they fell in love ten years ago - running naked to apologize to Liang Xia, but Liang Xia did not respond.

Twenty-eight-year-old Liang Xia is no longer the fool who gave up on herself for love. Instead, through the arrival of her seventeen-year-old self, she gradually discovers that only by insisting on being oneself can a person win a truly perfect life.

The most shocking scene in the film is when Liang Xia eats too much chocolate and is rescued, the scene of two Liang Xia pulling in the body:

The seventeen-year-old Liang Xia wants to suffer for the love she just lost and wants to buy herself more time, but she does not expect to poison herself; the 28-year-old Liang Xia has begun to wake up and find her former self who loves painting and laughing, desperately telling her young self not to give up.

Whether it is the youth of seventeen years old or the decadence of twenty years old, they are all the same Liang Xia. Therefore, they wanted to hold each other and save themselves. In the end, the twenty-eight-year-old Liang Xia broke the hard glass in the middle with force and pulled her seventeen-year-old self back into her arms.

In the end, the two formed a brand new Liang Xia - one who neither loses herself for love nor is confused by life, but who knows what she loves and what she sticks to, and is extremely confident in herself.

This movie uses a magical piece of chocolate to draw a contrast between the past and the present.

We were all fearless when we were young. Why do we become more timid and fearful as time goes by? Is it because of the cruel temper of society? Or is it because of excessive doubt and lack of confidence in oneself? There may be many

, but I think it is more because we have begun to give up our past passions and discarded the "weapon" horns that we should be proud of!

Take a serious look at this world. What is missing is never an obedient machine, but a passionate person who loves life as always, is full of infinite pursuit of life, and is brave enough to face difficulties!

If you want your life to be different and exciting from others, then you must insist on being a different person from others! At the very least, be the young and frivolous you that you once were, but never be afraid of losing and move forward courageously!

Because the best way a person looks is to be confident - to be the person who truly loves, dares to fight, and can afford to lose even if he loses!
