电影《怦然心动》Flipped——影评

Based on the novel written by American writer Wendelin Van Draanen, the film Flipped tells the first love between a young girl Juli and a young boy Bryce. The film moves forward slowly in the rhythm of light joy, and the scene is smooth like flowing water. The narration is interspersed with the monologues of the protagonists. The same time scene, from different angles, interprets the complexity and contradiction, proud or lost, disgusted or happy, the repetition is not only not cumbersome, but also refreshing. It makes the first love reproduce. Girls’ and boys’ restless expectation seem to be yesterday, as if the clouds are within reach. The director pushes me to the cloud with gentle camera language, and relives the dream of the first love.

The most popular image in the film is Juli. She is full of human flash. In her childhood, she appears to be more mature than her children of her age. She combines sensibility and reason in dealing with feelings. She dares to face to her love, and always firmly and bravely choose her own, and through the proper way to pursue the boy she likes. What’s more, this kind of love is not blindly worshipping, but constantly examining her feelings, reflecting on what kind of talents they really want and what kind of feelings are worth insisting on. She is enjoying and thinking about life. She will cry for the lost tree, and will be glad to see the new life that she broke out of shell. She will be able to observe, diligently think, be good at finding the perfection in life from different perspectives, and understand how the essence of the whole is greater than the sum of parts. She is in love with her duties in dealing with her family. She has little outstanding appearance and rich family. Her father is an artist who is not determined. Her two brothers love music but don’t like reading. Even she has an intelligent uncle who needs to be taken care of. However, she loves every family member from her heart, and she lives in a world full of love with heart and heart, Infect people around with your optimism. The above is one of the most valuable things I learned from this movie.
The images of Juli and Bryce in the film constitute a distinct comparison, from subconscious to deep values are different, and the important reason for this contrast is the difference between family environment and educational concept. I think this is exactly the idea that the author wants to convey to readers through the story itself. Juli has a family full of positive energy, and her father plays a crucial role in the development of her personality. His exploration of the beauty of life, the calm in dealing with problems and the sense of responsibility for her family all promote Juli to form a correct world outlook in the process of growth. Compared with the hero, he is less fortunate, and his personality is more indecisive and wandering. His father often looks at Juli and her family with colorful glasses, and is full of hostility and anger towards the whole society. Fortunately, Bryce has a kind, wise and unique old man. He appreciates Juli’s bravery and persistence, is moved by her spirit, and has spiritual and action support for Juli, and teaches Bryce to be independent and dare to be like Juli. In the most confused and important adolescence of Bryce’s life, a man with brilliant wisdom led him to move forward, and finally he dared to face up to his previous mistakes and gain precious feelings. Family and education have irreplaceable effect on the growth of a child and the shaping of personality.

It tells people that love and self-esteem are equal and cannot be followed by others. When it comes to human dignity, you should let go of the person who hurts your self-esteem. As the story goes on, the boy begins to look at himself and his father. He begins to realize his mistakes and his father’s problems. Instead of following his father’s ideas, he made his own decisions and choices correctly. There, it tells us that everyone will make mistakes. Maybe such mistakes are not intentional. Maybe they are influenced by the surrounding environment. However, we should be brave to reflect, make our own choice, and be able to freely admit our mistakes.
The whole movie is the tall and luxuriant tree, which runs through Juli and Brice’s feelings. At the same time, it also represents a kind of spiritual height, which is the commanding height of a comprehensive survey of the natural scenery and even the whole life. Juli liked climbing to the high Cougar tree, looking at the gorgeous rays of the sky, and soaking under the vast sky of the sunset clouds. “The higher I climbed, the more amazing the scenery I was,” which made me feel the refreshing side of a teenager girl, and also showed the charm of unique vision and independent thinking.

This movie gave me all the memories of my first love. The role Juli reminds me of that girl. Through this movie, I will be more passionate about life, and take my love more seriously. After all, the movie can be replayed, but love will not relive.
