早熟

Oh my god. That movie is simply fantastic.
I can now confidently choose the security question asking whats yours favourite movie without having to ponder over what it would be. Though not anymore.
Only Junkai knows what kind of movies I like ;) and this one has definitely crossed the line, in fact its so far beyond the line that the line appears to be a dot to it.
Its not the trailer type of adrenaline rush, not the horny type of hottie chicks, not solely the romantic type of relationship, but the type of movie that makes me reflect, hard.

I was overwhelmed with emotions throughout the whole movie. Smiling at the beginning of their naive teenage romance, frowning when they realise she is pregnant, biting my lips as they struggle to survive. And oh well.. erm a little bit horny as they were about to copulate..

But seriously, it makes me think, about my life, what I really want to do, how I really want to live.

The movie really reflects how important it is to have a successful career. Not for my own pride, not for my own dignity, but as a foundation to entitle true love the right to blossom. No matter how pure, how niave, how innocent the love is, it wouldn't survive in today's harsh society. I don't want to be in a situation where I find my love but I can't support her. If there is one thing I can change, it would be to obliterate this crude reality.

There is this line towards the ending when the guy is being sued on court:
在本案中,被告确实是犯了错.
错的是他年轻,幼稚,冲动.
可是他同时做了一件事,就是他尝试去承担他的责任,尽了他最大的努力去照顾我女儿.
就这件事来说,我应该感到惭愧.
因为他爱我的女儿,爱的比我单纯,爱的比我真.
My god, how noble is that. That kind of love is so innocent and beautiful, but yet they suffered so much for it, almost reached the brink of breakdown. Its so unfair and saddening to fail this beautiful fairytale because of the inability to sustain the family, because being ignorant at a young age. And for that, I will make sure it never happens.
I must say I am not claiming that I will definitely find the perfect girl, in fact there is a good possibility that I never will (not trying to be pessimistic here, just being practical). Im just saying it would really be a pity if it happens and there are so many obstacles along the way that threaten to destroy it.
Of course people say no pain no gain, hais, I have no comments on that :(

Other than that, the film highlights many other aspects of life that people have prevalently overlooked. But as far as how its related to me at the moment, that revelation is certainly the most impactful one that will stay by me for many years to come.
