[Personal opinion] ＂Later us＂： We will not fall in love, and we all blame Rene Liu.
Wen | Zhazha
We won’t fall in love, which is partly due to Rene Liu and Rene Liu’s songs.
Most love is not equal, so you have to accept the fact that it is hard to say with one hand.
Want to ask if you dare? /Crazy for love like me (Crazy for Love)
Love requires great efforts, and often there is no return.
I’ll forget you when I wait for you for half a year ("I’ll wait for you")
Love should be compromised.
I love you very much/only when I let you have love/can I feel at ease ("Love you very much")
Have to wait.
Love is a superstition in the right place at the right time/Oh, so you are here ("So you are here")
It is possible that no matter how hard you struggle, you will still be single.
The person you like doesn’t show up/the person who does doesn’t like it/some people hesitate/leave while thinking about him ("Loneliness for a lifetime")
Even if you are in love, you will still be lonely.
There is no conflict between my strength and your tenderness/I am happy with you/just as I am satisfied with having you ("I dare to be alone in your arms")
If something goes wrong, you should let the other person go first and leave the sadness to yourself.
The escape for you is infinitely wide/until you are flustered and let you go/in exchange for my sorrow, happiness and tenderness ("April Day")
Even if you break up, you should think more about others.
In fact, I am also grateful/when I heard that you/still believe in love ("Heard")
This is the concept of love presented in Rene Liu’s music, which is bitter and miserable, but it is necessary to squeeze out a smile without complaint.
We grew up listening to Rene Liu’s songs, demanding love, waiting for love and worshiping love, but it seems that we are far away from love forever.
Then Rene Liu made a movie, "Later Us", the title of which had already finished the story, everything happened, and later; About you and me, we. It is the eternal theme in Rene Liu’s songs and the first sentence of Later:
Later/I finally learned how to love/but you have long since gone/disappeared into the sea of people.
This is a very simple love story. Looking around, everyone’s experience is hidden in this story.
Two young people who worked hard in Beijing met on the train when they came home for the New Year. It was in 2007, when two people in Beijing did not meet, and the train that stopped temporarily made them friends.
Seeing that the boy has just graduated, he said that his dream can only be realized in Beijing.
Xiao Xiao, a girl, has lived alone for many years. I heard that she can stand on her feet after five years of hard work in Beijing, and she is still one year away.
The common enemy makes them close friends, and this enemy is called hometown.
Now train tickets are purchased online and in real name, which is the largest short-term migration of human beings — — Spring Festival travel rush, not so crowded, bullets.
Ten years ago, Spring Festival travel rush needed to be squeezed out abruptly. A bowl of instant noodles had to be handed to people hand in hand in a crowded carriage. When it really reached the soup, it was cold and the noodles were lump.
Ask people why they want to go home, rather than why they want to leave home.
Girls should be stable, a house in Beijing; Boys have ideals and finish their own works. The self-esteem and arrogance of youth can only be supported by Beijing.
Beijing is so big that the distance from the North Fifth Ring Road to the South Fifth Ring Road is six times the height of the troposphere.
What hasn’t changed is that they met again.
This Spring Festival, they returned to Beijing for the New Year from a different place. Yes, Beijing has finally become their home. It’s just that the members of this family don’t have each other
They talked a lot that night, from the winter 10 years ago to today.
Ten years, what happened to them?
The ten years of love, dullness, entanglement and reunion between the two vividly answered "How will Rene Liu’s syndrome fall in love?" This eternal problem.
They have known each other for ten years, and she remembers the funny way he undressed for the first time. The joy that a broken sofa brings to life when you are in a humble room; The first kiss; The smell of his father’s cooking; He doesn’t talk for two or three days when he is angry … …
They love each other and cherish each other, and the audience knows that they didn’t end up together. This story is told generously. This is "later us".
But no one knows what beats love.
"Later We" digs out every little thing in love, every joy, every quarrel, and every appearance is inseparable.
Ah, it turns out that those seemingly "nothing" trivial things corrode love a little and eventually collapse. They are: money, reality and desire. They are shown in the smallest details of life, which are too ordinary compared with the occurrence of a relationship, but they have the support of the whole world.
Love is a subtle existence close to the ideal in real life. To choose love is to choose to fight against cruel reality to some extent.
"Later Us" seems to be a gentle and tearful love movie, but in fact it is a bloody "war movie", and what died was the imagination of the ideal life and the naive and arrogant self.
The story of Later Us comes from the first novel "Chinese New Year, Go Home" in Rene Liu’s collection of essays "My Imperfection".
The novel tells a special heterosexual relationship through several letters from a pair of former lovers. They loved each other, and they still love each other, but they are not husband and wife, relatives or even friends, but their names exist in their own lives, unique and cautious, like an alias of their youth.
"Thank you in the past days, whether we were together or not," Shu Fang wrote in her letter to Ah Zhi in the novel.
This is what Rene Liu, a young woman in literature and art, did: acting in movies, singing, writing, and now making movies to explain the possibility and applicability of "love". A love life can witness a person’s growth, change, aging, or death.
Li Pingbin, a gold photographer who won the Golden Horse Award for seven times, brought two different colors of black and white to the film ten years ago, and color narration became one of the highlights of the film. Jianqi Chen, a famous Taiwan Province pop music producer, composed the music; Get out of here! Yuan Yuan, the screenwriter of tumor jun, became one of the screenwriters.
Director Tian Zhuangzhuang, who surprised everyone with his acting skills in "Love each other", played Jing Bo Ran’s father and continued to make people cry with his little humor and steady voice.
The two leading actors, Jing Bo Ran and Zhou Dongyu, have become the benchmark among young actors in the Mainland.
Also in April last year, Zhou Dongyu enjoyed all the aura of love comedy in the chick movie Like You, and was captured to Takeshi Kaneshiro with a good dish. Even this role made her beat Zhang Aijia in Love, Zhou Xun in When is the Moon, and Wen Qi in Carnival to win the actress of the year award of the 9th China Film Directors Association.
Fang Xiaoxiao, played by Zhou Dongyu in "Later Us", is easily reminiscent of "July and An Sheng". She is still stubborn, free and easy, and full of vitality, and the mature charm of the film ten years later is a rare aspect of Zhou Dongyu.
Before "Later" came, Xiao Xiao, played by Zhou Dongyu, accepted Jing Bo Ran’s love. She is such a "realistic" girl, and her requirements are direct and accurate, which is a house, but Jing Bo Ran’s careless line in it touched me the most. He said:
"I want to buy eight houses in Beijing and give you one."
The feeling of commitment to reality is not love. Love is arrogance, fearlessness and nonsense. He not only wants to give everything he has, but also wants to give his dreams. There is no money for a taxi, and the ambition of "eight houses" is the most precious thing in him.
It is love that gives people the reason and courage to dream. Even if everything will become "later" in the end, love has brought us so close to "eight houses".
We Later is a new answer given by Rene Liu. All love, good and bad, right and wrong, and everything about love has changed, shaped and become us.
No matter how cruel the reality is, it is love, going home and dreams … … These beautiful memories, as well as the essence of "later", are always forgotten:
There is a boy/girl in love.
