"Love, Now" plot introduction

Katie Paris (Bella Thorne) has suffered from a hereditary disease-xeroderma pigmentosum since she was a child. She is extremely sensitive to ultraviolet rays. As long as she is exposed to the sun, her life may be in danger. Katie's father Jack ( Rob Rigel) In order to protect her, she always strictly controls her outing time. Katie, who cannot go out during the day, is used to singing or creating to express her mood and pass the time. She prefers to sit by the window to explore the outside world. .

When night falls, it’s the most exciting moment for Katie. She likes to bring her guitar to play and sing at the crowded train station. Charlie (Patrick Schwarzenegger) who happened to pass by one day was sung by her. She was deeply attracted and fell in love with Katie at first sight; and the shy Katie couldn't believe that Charlie in front of her was actually her crush since childhood! As the love between the two heats up, Katie is gradually unable to conceal her illness. How can this hard-won love be maintained?

"Love, Now" film review

Among the many love movies, the story of "Love, Now" is not special. A girl who knows that her life is approaching the countdown every day, falls in love with a silly and innocent boy, girl, or girl’s father thinking about it every time When she opens her mouth to tell the boy her secret, she will be interrupted due to various factors, but the secret will eventually be dismantled. When it is exposed to the sun, how to continue and whether it can continue is always a difficult problem they have to face.

This film is adapted from the 2006 Japanese film and TV series "ABOUT THE LIVE". I have not seen the Japanese version of the TV series. It is impossible to compare the differences between the two. Simply speaking of director Scott Spear’s directing skills, I think he is already here. In the condensed space, try to convey the meaning of the English title "Midnight Sun": Why is there sunshine at midnight? If so, what will it be? We can clearly feel that Charlie is Katie’s most blazing sunshine, although the boy only giggled, Patrick Schwarzenegger inherited his father (Arnold)’s "natural dull" appearance and an unsteady voice. , You wonder in your heart that this boy is the one Katie has always remembered from the fourth, sixth to the ninth grade? Have this charm?

The source of glamour is never what we see right now, but what the client perceives is just like Katie’s good friend rejects an overconfident boy at the party but then fights him fiercely in the next second. How can one like another? A person never needs any exact reason. You can say that Charlie has a single dollar. He looks very well-behaved, but he does not have a scumbag appearance, and he does not have the charm of a rogue like Sam Clivelin in "Meet Before You". For Katie, Charlie has a kind of magic that makes people fascinated. The most obvious proof is that when the girl who liked Charlie at the party asked Charlie to pour her wine, Charlie said sternly: "I want to bring Katie Wander around."

This sentence successfully drew Katie’s girly heart. Before the formal contact, in the face of the invasion of foreign enemies, it seemed that the naive Charlie instantly became shrewd and domineering. I thought that the acting was also naive Patrick Schwarz. Singer has successfully ironed this role, and a sense of happiness of "I just want to be nice to you" has spontaneously emerged. The soul of the dedicated boy who "wears a little Griffith hat T every day" in the sixth grade has always been there. The scenes of kissing on the pier and playing in the water are shining and even more convincing.

The success of the heroine casting has greatly increased the visibility of the film. Katie’s attitude towards life that is unable to face the sun (congenital disease) but strives to face the sun, under the natural interpretation of Bella Thorne’s life, you don’t think she is smiling and laughing, on the contrary, you believe that one day, that innate shield will gradually get away. She can finally realize her desire to be bathed in the sun with her deceased mother in a dream. Although dreams are not the same as reality after all, life has its own destiny, but the person who gives her a little sunshine in Katie’s life is enough to warm her heart, with the happiness of being loved, the courage to face, and the realization of her wishes. Possible.

That includes the enlightened father who firmly believes that letting his daughter go out happily is the magic weapon of life when his father is in hesitation, the considerate companionship of his friends who often pierce needles and caress, and of course, there is also Charlie who is always full of love. In the foreseeable ending, the flood of sunshine has made this movie that may fall into the traditional stereotypes with a different narrative possibility. It is not about paying attention to life but showing a lighter but thicker life attitude. Like "Invincible in the East" Zhang Qingfang's "Burning Moment" once sang: "I wish to love you with every one of my true heart that can withstand the test today, day and night, indulge in love, let the beautiful myth reappear." The person in the play Every day we work hard to love each other today, we have witnessed the feelings that are not achieved by time but sincerely. As long as it has been shining, the moment is eternal, the love song of Bella and Charlie will always linger in our minds. .
