The Sublime Beauty of Love

The movie is still going on, and people are happy to find that Emily has not lost her innocence because of her parents' treatment, and she still has her own life.

She loves animals, likes to play, and even once found a hobby of taking pictures. She finds all kinds of beautiful patterns in the clouds and even takes revenge after being wronged. Although her childhood was unfortunate, her growth still has those happy parts.

What is even more surprising are those moving toys and strangely shaped white clouds — everyone knows that this was a strange world in the eyes of Emily when she was a child. The toys are her companions, and the white clouds are her drawing boards. It's just that no one thought that these children's fun and movies could be combined so well. A world without any superpowers or magic could have such a whimsical shooting method.

The camera doesn't linger, and as it progresses, Emily grows up. From a little girl, she has grown into a slim young girl. The adult Emily, played by Winona, appeared in front of people. Green long dress, short black hair, and then, with the voice of Al Pacino, she also showed a big smile on the screen.

This smile once again caused commotion among the people. That smile's sweetness, innocence, and slyness made people feel moved.

"Awesome acting." Behind Levi, someone seemed to be talking.

If the precious innocence captured by Emily when she was a child is still due to the child's nature, then it is unimaginable that Winona, who is already in her 20s, can show such a smile. This kind of spirituality, such as a sweet smile, is difficult for any actor to express. When seeing this smile, even everyone watching the movie couldn't help nodding in their hearts.

No wonder both Winona and Levi are so confident about this movie - such a movie will naturally give the director confidence, and Winona only needs a smile to make her reputation soar.

How many people can play a good angel? She can!

The beauty of color. The beauty of the structure, the beauty of the plot, the beauty of the music, and most importantly, the beauty of the actors. All the beauty intertwined. Flawless!

And Emily, who has grown into a girl, is still innocent and lovely - the narration voice tells her hobbies as always: breaking the solidified oil layer of pudding, floating on the river, inserting her hands deeply into the grains, when watching a movie, look back to see other people's expressions.

These are somewhat naive but full of interesting things, so people's sympathy for Emily quickly turns into a good impression. And the beautiful shots and colors are still the same as at the beginning of the movie, which makes everything about this beautiful girl seem like a dream. Especially when Emily is wearing a red dress, standing in the water against a green backdrop. The ripples on the water's surface and the beauty standing on the shore make people feel unreal.

Levi uses these colors well. The movie still hasn't changed the original style: it's still beautiful and unreal, with colors like green, red, and yellow; these bright colors are superimposed together, showing an extraordinarily bright and glorious style.

And soon, the plot moved forward again. The movie advances to the death of Princess Diana, and Emily stumbles upon a locket in surprise and begins to find the owner of the item. After unremitting efforts, she found the person she was looking for; the old boy looked at his childhood things with tears in his eyes. He was also very moved when he talked to Emily afterward, which made Emily feel better.

On the way home, Emily, who helped the blind man cross the road, explained the splendor and joy beyond his sight along the way. It's here filming techniques also began to diversify.

The method of shooting the scenery in the front view is still there, and in the process of searching for people, the director started to use a lot of fast-moving shots so that Emily's hard work and fatigue are intuitively expressed, and the blind man is supported in the back, on the road.

From helping the blind man to breaking up, the camera followed all the way, following Emily's voice to shoot these things, and finally separated; after Emily went up the steps, the camera followed Emily and looked back from the steps. Looking at the blind man, the camera turned into an overhead shot.

This is the most direct expression of God's perspective, and the light emanating from the blind man also made people immediately understand that he saw an angel.

This also caused the audience to start some discussions: Emily's behavior may seem boring, but she is really kind.

And what Emily does makes her feel happy. Not only that but after returning home, she watched Diana's funeral and fantasized about her own funeral. The close-up shots were given to her, and she began to decide what to do.

She decides to start helping people, doing things for people — it doesn't feel out of place; the first half of the movie says a lot about the flaws of the people around her; how could she not care about that with an angel by her side?

And at this time, at the train station, she met the hero.

In a 120-minute movie, the male lead doesn't appear until 40 minutes in and leaves without any interaction with the female lead. The female lead's love for him is an intuitive expression of a beating heart after perspective — such a romantic comedy is absolutely unique.

But this does not make people and the audience feel abrupt: Emily is a neurotic and kind girl in the movie. For such a girl, what is so strange about falling in love with a man at first sight?

What is even more surprising is that the leading actor in the movie is also not a particularly outstanding boy. He is a weird boy, and like everyone in the film, he has his own unique quirks - if it is in daily life, people will think this is a weird person if they meet such a quirk, but when they see this boy in the movie, people smile knowingly.

At least, when they saw the leading actor, the people in the cinema were all smiling.

Think about it carefully, and people quickly understand why: everyone in the movie has their own little quirks. The voice of the narration spoke out these quirks when everyone appeared on the stage, and these people were not bad people, making people subconsciously think that it is normal for people to have quirks. When people become accustomed to eccentricities, what kind of abnormalities are these?

Everyone has their own characteristics, and being different from others is not a reason to laugh at others. The unique care for marginalized groups revealed in the movie has been deeply subtly planted in people's hearts at this time.

It is at this time that the foreshadowing and foil in front come into play. Although the hero is fleeting, although he has eccentricities without showing any advantages, the audience still will not hate him.

When you look at angels from the standpoint of God for a long time, how can you hate immature people?

Everyone's life is unique, and if we don't pay attention to the details of their lives, we can't find the loveliness in these people. And if you pay attention to these details, you can know that the lives of each of these people have beauty.

Flaws are not human weaknesses. This idea has been embedded in people's hearts. The hero here is fleeting and makes Emily fall in love at first sight. In fact, it is to let people know one thing: In Emily's eyes, these marginalized people are really equal. She doesn't pity them but really loves them.

And this is also what the movie will continue to show in the following time: if the previous part shows the color, music, and beauty of the characters in the film, then after the male protagonist appears, it has been sublimated into a whole and more sublime beauty.

Emily is constantly helping others, the blind man crossing the road, the barmaid who dares not confess, the lonely old man, the guy who is often reprimanded by the boss, the landlady who misses her dead husband... She may be cheerful like an angel. She also offered help directly or helped secretly, without letting others know, or teased others like a prank, making people pay the price, and all of this was because she did not discriminate against anyone.

Only such a person can be considered an angel. Until 80 minutes, the movie introduces what kind of angel this girl named Emily is.

And the love of such a girl does not need endless sweetness, not endless tangled love stories; she needs someone who can understand her and appreciate her strange thoughts.

And the male protagonist appeared at this time. After the movie reached 80 minutes, his role increased. And soon, people discovered this was the hero people expected.

He has his own little quirks, he and Emily play the game of hide and seek, and he, like Emily, has a strange world: dwarves will wink at him, and people in the photo will scramble to give him advice; he would fantasize about a photo until he found out that it was just a repairman... Like Emily, he is a person with his own strange world. Those fantasy-colored shooting techniques once again echoed the previous ones. Only those who love fantasy can make the world eccentric. The front and back echoes that exist everywhere before and after the movie make the movie tighter.

And this boy also made the audience admire him.

This kind of talent is worthy of Emily - almost everyone who saw this had this idea. Although there is still no dialogue between the two, people have already seen the germination of love.

This is love - the key to love is not how many words two people have, not how hard and funny the process of pursuing each other is, how much sacrifice they have made, but whether the souls of two people can attract each other and whether they have the same thoughts, are not the same mind.

This is love - and this kind of love itself is a comedy that makes people extremely happy. What joke can make people feel more warm and joyful than love itself? Such joy surpasses everything.

Love itself is the most beautiful.
