htmlOn October 6, Kim Yu-jung starring the youth love film "The Girl in the 20th Century" was officially released in Korean theaters.
chases the campus era, full of passionate youth, and is driven by time to grow into adults, as well as the regret and relief of separation from the person you like... While multiple highlights have made this story score 7.0 points, it also jumped into the top 10 of Douban's reputation movie list in the weekly movie list.
The story takes place in Qingzhou, South Korea in 1999. The protagonist is a quirky high school girl named Luo Baola (played by Kim Yu-jung).
Paula's best friend is named Jin Yeondo . He suffers from congenital heart disease . He is preparing to go to the United States for surgery. Before leaving, Yandu fell in love with a boy named Bai Xianzhen at first sight and never forgets him. In order to give her best friend a peace of mind, Paula proposed the method of "writing Bai Xianzhen's observation diary every day and sending it to Yandu by email."
The first step is to create a "secret email address" where only two people know the login account. All the words and moods in it can be seen by Paula and Yandu.
's second step, Paula tried his best to investigate all the information about Bai Xianzhen, including but not limited to secretly following, joining the club that Bai Xianzhen wants to join, and obtaining information from Bai Xianzhen's friend Feng Yunhao... Successfully knows Bai Xianzhen's height, weight, shoe size and hobbies.
In this process, Paula unknowingly fell in love with Bai Xianzhen’s friend Yun Hao. The two who are members of the broadcasting club have the same preferences and the same longing for the future. Soon the two of them determined their feelings and had the "first first kiss in youth" on a romantic night.
, but I didn't expect Yunhao was the boy that best friend Kim Yeon-du really liked: On the day I first met Yunhao was wearing the clothes of his friend Bai Xianzhen, so he was mistaken for Bai Xianzhen by Yandu. The misalignment of information caused two close friends to fall in love with the same boy, and the story became complicated instantly...
Although it is the setting of "love with the same boy", the final story of "The Girl of the 20th Century" is not bloody, but full of warmth: because he was a good friend who grew up together, Paula chose to hide his likes, and after learning the truth, Yandu even choked and said to Paula, "I can give up on him a hundred times or a thousand times, because the most important person to me is you."
The two girls did not become unfamiliar because they fell in love with the same person, but instead became clearer "in an irreplaceable position in each other's hearts." In the subsequent plot, Yandu encouraged Paula to reveal his true feelings to Feng Yunhao, and it also showed the growth of the two girls in friendship -
true love is fairness, loyalty, and following the heart rather than "giving up the truest thoughts in the heart for friendship." If you can have a happy life, that is the happiest thing for me. Such sincere and moving friendships in
make the audience unable to help but recall their best friends in their youth, thus arousing strong resonance.
On the other side is the unrestrained youth between Paula and Yunhao from throbbing to ambiguity to communication and communication. The quirky girl meets the gentle and straight-ball boy and writes a pure and dreamy story called "Heart Touch".
In the eyes of others, Paula is a "tiger" girl. She was angry and dissatisfied when the bus driver drove too fast and fell on others: "Uncle, drive slowly"; after being confessed by someone who doesn't like, she bluntly said that she has dandruff, has a bad personality, and likes to fart; she can even kick the powerful gangster unconscious with a kick in Taekwondo. But it is precisely this quirky personality that makes Yun Hao feel moved, making him unable to help smiling every time he sees Paula.
The sea and sky are all gentle on the coast, and the two of them closely use the same camera to observe the world around them; under the dim and ambiguous light, they avoided the teacher's night check, and even snuggled together with their noses; because they wanted to get more time to spend with people they liked, Yun Hao worked hard and finally found the opportunity to work next door to Paula's house.Because I like each other so much, I feel happy even if I am aimlessly holding the street. I don’t want to go home for a long time...
Korean screenwriter and director are really good at shooting: when Paula and Yunhao talk about their love, the picture is filled with a lot of sky blue and pink color matching, giving the fairytale youth love story feeling; in the second half, when the two fell in love with each other for some reason, the picture is hazy yellow tones, suggesting the regret of having to separate.
The audience has controversial about the direction of the story "Yun Hao was declared dead in the last 20 minutes of the drama". Some viewers think that such a downline is very sudden, without any plot preparation, and is entirely for the sake of bet; another part of the audience agrees with the life changes of "never know which one will come first, tomorrow or accident", and believes that such a plot direction is reasonable.
I agree with the latter because things are impermanent. On the other hand, the reason for agreeing is also the tear-jerking scene of the last 10 minutes of the film "has become the blessing of the tear-jerking scene of the adult Paula watching Yun Hao filming a video for himself many years ago."
shows old-fashioned video tapes. It is obviously a low-quality picture with constant white current flashing, but it shows such strong and direct love: the picture is full of Paula walking, reading, sleeping, laughing, being angry, and being angry Yunhao. It turns out that in those youthful years, Paula received so many precious loves... The 10-minute shot of
is enough to give "The Girl of the 20th Century" a 4-star review, because the emotions are passionate enough, and because in a sense the comparison between the old cameras in the past and the convenient communication tools many years later is like a metaphor for "the beauty of fairy tales and the cruelty of reality", which puts a perfect aesthetic end to the story.
In the film, Kim Yu-jung, the actor of Paula as a girl, has a very lively acting skills, which makes the girl's wanton, free and easy, brave, and dare to love and hate. In a trance, the audience also returned to the beautiful youth era, and was very infectious; when adults, Paula as a actor Han Hyo-joo , the crying scene with tears in her laughter also left a deep impression on the audience, and shed tears without realizing it.
In addition to depicting friendship, love, and regret, there are many descriptions of youth group portraits in the film.
is as follows: The scene of sprinting the convenience store at a hundred meters after class. In a trance, I returned to high school during class and discussed with my friends what snacks are better and pleasant times; it was like riding a motorcycle to send the girl I like home, but the motorcycle broke down and was finally dragged home by a towed by a good-hearted man who passed by. The recklessness and silence of laughter from the only youth. Friends who like youth stories must not miss it.
