Boy meets girl at high school. They grow up and drift apart. Such are the elementary and timeless ingredients with which Taiwan novelist-turned-director Giddens Ko whips up the playful retro coming-of-age film You Are the Apple of My Eye.
男孩在上高中时遇见了女孩。他们共同成长,然后渐渐疏远。正是有了这些最基本且永恒的主题元素,才使得台湾作家九把刀转型为导演后,迅速烹制出《那些年,我们一起追的女孩》这样一部欢快有趣,回首青春成长的影片。
Based on Ko’s real-life romance novel The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years (same as the film’s Chinese title), the film is guaranteed to be loved by those who have an appetite for a bit of juvenile fun.
这部改编自九把刀自传式爱情小说《那些年,我们一起追的女孩》的电影一定会成为那些青春小品爱好者的青睐。
Newbie actor Ko Cheng-tung plays Ko Ching-teng, a teenage boy whose life revolves around hanging out with school buddies Boner, Cock, Groin and A-Ho–the bad boys of Ching-Cheng High in Changhua, central-west Taiwan.
新生代演员柯震东在剧中饰演柯景腾一角,片中的这位少年就读于台湾中西部彰化县精诚中学,他的生活都是和同校好友,别人眼中的坏孩子勃起、老曹、该边和阿和一起度过的。
They all have a crush on Shen Chia-yi (Michelle Chen), an honor student in their class, who falls for Ko only.
他们都喜欢上了同班的好学生沈佳宜(由陈妍希饰演),而沈却只对柯景腾情有独钟。
Yet Ko, afraid of being rejected, cannot bring himself to ask Shen to be his girlfriend.
而柯景腾却因为害怕被拒绝不敢鼓起勇气向沈佳宜告白。
Their love continues after the two go to different colleges until one night, a big fight puts an end to their youthful romance. Several years later, Ko, now a writer, and his high school mates watch Shen walking down the aisle with another man, appearing as beautiful as they remember.
随着升入不同的大学,他们的恋情仍在继续;直到有一天晚上,两人大吵一架后为这段青春恋曲画下了句号。几年之后,已经成为作家的柯景腾同高中的好友们一起见证了沈佳宜同另外一个男生步入婚姻殿堂,她看上去还是像他们记忆中那样美。
With a well-selected cast and a brisk pace, Giddens Ko’s effort manages to keep up a high level of energy throughout the film and he captures adolescent urges with a fun, manga-esque punch.
精心挑选的演员班底再加上轻松愉快的节奏,导演九把刀成功使整部影片显得活力十足,在他的镜头下,青春期的冲动具备一种日式漫画般的幽默力量。
Also, the puppy love story would be less convincing if not for the two leading actors, who convey youthful innocence with effortlessness.
同时,如果不是片中两位主演不遗余力的演出诠释出了少年的天真懵懂,这个有关早恋的故事也不会这么令人信服。
The film is at its best when it reminds viewers of their adolescent years. The 33-year-old director has repeatedly said the film isn’t only about his own youth, but everyone’s.
这部电影最棒的地方便是让观众们回忆起自己的青葱岁月。这位现年33岁的导演曾不止一次地宣称,这部影片不仅仅关乎自己的青春,还同所有人的青春都有关。
It might remind us of something silly or reckless we did at a young age. It might remind us that our youth isn’t all perfect – like Ko and Chen’s.
该片会让我们想起自己年少时做的那些愚蠢、鲁莽之事,提醒我们,每个人的青春都不是完美的,就像柯景腾和沈佳宜一样。
But to the core, it reminds us that our youth, as imperfect as it can be, has made us the people we are today. And for that, we should smile a smile of understanding.
而全片精髓是在提醒我们,无论我们的青春究竟有多不完美,它都让我们成为了今天的自己。所以从这个角度来讲,我们应该给出会心一笑。
沈佳宜很像当年坐在我前桌的女孩啊。。。
