Face the reality bravely
First of all, this movie isn't just a light-hearted youth film but also a well-thought-out story about how to embrace life. I had no preconceived ideas of what this movie was about as I didn't watch any trailers but just jumped into it because of the cast and director. Man... It hit me with waves of emotions and made me thoughtful for days.
I must say the storytelling is very well-executed. It's no wonder coming from that Director Leste Chen. The main theme of this movie is about embracing the reality with courage whether it is bitter or sweet and growing up along all the experiences you have while chasing your dream. Every character in the movie has difficulty accepting their realities or their real selves in the beginning but in the end, they finally learnt to find courage to reconcile with reality.
The cinematography of some scenes are so mesmerizing and hypnotizing that they gave me out-of-this-world feelings.
About acting and cast, Zhang Zi Feng and Wu Lei are 2 of the most promising actors/actresses in China. They bring depth to the characters that even surpassed the script (according to the director's words) and since they're still very young and very close to the ages of the characters, they look really cute together in school uniforms as well.
Electronic music is a big part of the male lead character's story and there are lots of scenes of electronic music festivals, so if you are a fan of electronic music, you are in for a treat!
