Fireworks: Fireworks, blooming moment of the most beautiful, but also fleeting
First of all, I saw a lot of disgusting reviews that I almost didn’t want to read. I think, behind those words must be a youth of the uncle. This group of people always think that they are very good, can guide the writer and director, joke about special effects dubbing, you almost money, otherwise the Academy Award for best director is sure to be yours.
“Fireworks” is very plain, I see a lot of people are willing to put her and your name together, no problem, your name cheerful rhythm, interesting time crossing cohesion, a little love comedy meaning, the ending is very warm. Compared with your name, fireworks are indeed more like Iwai Shoji’s usual plain and elegant style, when some people with the heart to see the second your name to see this movie, they will be disappointed, the whole movie little poor laugh almost with dirty jokes in support, not only no laugh, almost no tears. When I was watching the movie, I heard the girl in the back saying that it was not good. Do you really like a person in the youth, maybe even like dare not say export, perhaps full of pain, perhaps have an unforgettable memory? If not, you won’t have any connection to the movie. I always feel that if you do not love a person in your limited youth, it will be the biggest regret in life.
I thought I would cry, but I didn’t. I think of the first time I read “Love Letter”, is not also such a state of mind? Flat light read a story, as if there is nothing, as if a little lost. This is the youth; always feel that if you can go back to the past can change some things. Today, “fireworks” told me, Iwai Shoji told me, even if time can go back, even if time can go back again and again for me! I just had time to use all my strength to say I really like you. Nothing will change, the missed is destined to miss, just like the saying, and the girls are destined to marry life.
What is the movie about? Boys like girls but never dare to say it, the first miss, he firmed up his heart. The second time he missed, he yelled for the girl. The third time he missed, he still didn’t give up. The fourth time, he understood that the words were only half on the tip of his tongue. It was all regret. This is the age we are going through.
The ending, the Canon is missing, a standard open ending. In my heart, I hope they really stay in that imaginary world, together forever. And the final time travel, the glass sphere completely broken may also indicate that people in that world cannot return to the real world. Sad youth literature, some just plain and sigh. Perhaps like Love Letters, watching it again a year later may lead to tears.
So, this story can’t be described as good or bad. If you understand what Iwai is trying to say, it will look good. If you don’t understand it at all, it must not be as good as your name. People are more open to warmth and fulfillment than sadness and regret, including me.
The second time I saw the name Seiko Matsuda, I wondered if Shoji Iwai spent his youth listening to her songs. In Love Letter, he used “Blue Coral Reef”, here he used “Colored Earth”, plus a song called “forever friends”, and the song that was too easy to hear, “Hit the Flame”, three beautiful songs constitute the bgm of this film. Compared with the fireworks, the first two songs are very bland and gentle, which is exactly in line with the style of the whole film. So I also understand why the theme song “Hit the flame” is put in the last, the prelude is really let people move the body, with this song to end the movie, just like the end of the youth, whether sad or sorry, please throw it into the past, with the launch of the flame bloom, disappear, stay in the memory, stay in the heart.
Fireworks bloom of the moment the most beautiful, but also fleeting, even if time again and again back, it is still only a moment. Until you know it’s only meant to exist for a moment, round flat is not that important.
