A must watch movie.

I heard many people talking about this movie and saying that it was amazing so I was worried it would fulfil my expectations but, to my surprise, it did, and it even OUTDID my expectations. A great movie.

I would like to give my review by categories:

Story: Even though this might seem like some other movie about bullying, the story goes deeper than that. The message of the full story is crucial, since this topic, bullying, still happens to this day. But this movie also talks about money problems, abandoned kids, school pressure... And the way the story flows is top-tier. I am a big fan of movies starting with a scene from the present, then going to the past where everything happens and then at the end, the first scene from the present. Even though is the same scene, it feels as if it was a completely different scene, it now holds a meaning, a history, a past, and everything changes. The story is also bittersweet, I wouldn't be able to tell if it's sad or happy, I felt both, even at the same time. That's the taste of this movie, and that's the taste of our world. Life is bittersweet, so it is this movie. They portrayed the meaning of life, and most importantly, the life of teenagers, perfectly.

Acting: The cast couldn't have been better. The female lead and the male lead were impressive. The had chemistry even though the barely had scenes having long conversations, and that's because the communicated through their eyes. Both actors were outstanding at being able to say so many things with their eyes. They showed their hearts and it made it all feel warmer and closer, deeper. I would also like to highlight the acting of Zhou Ye, who interpreted Wei Lai, and it's the way she was expressionless most of the time. Her eyes showed nothing but a hole, a nothing, and that's exactly the inside of that character, a girl who has just the same thoughts as her mother and is nothing but a girl without personality, without a persona. Every actor and actress on this was breathtaking, simply amazing.

Music: Overall, the music was good along with each scene, but I do indeed remember one scene were there was a choking change of music that didn't fit for me. I think that music was not one of the most important things in this movie, since it feels more like this kind of movie where you don't really need music, but to hear the background noise, to submerge yourself more into it.

Rewatch value: High, very high. I will probably be rewatching this in a few months when I would have forgotten some scenes and be able to have a little bit of a feeling of watching it for the first time. I also heard that this is based on a novel, so I would also love to read the novel, which I also have big expectations for.

Overall: I belive everything is said. This movie was amazing, it is going to my top favourites right now. I literally don't have enough words to describe how good this movie was. And the ending was also incredible.
So to anyone who hasn't watch it, I would recommend to do it soon, the only thing you are going to reggeret is not being able to watch it for the first time again.

So please watch it and enjoy. Prepare some tissues as well hehe, but you will see, what a masterpiece this is.
