Just over 40 years ago, marriage in China was arranged by the state. Romantic love was seen as a capitalist concept and was not allowed during this period. Wedding photography (if any at all) consisted of one black and white passport photo of the couple (dressed in Mao- style outfits) as proof of the marriage. Now, China has fallen in love with love and its exploding wedding industry is worth 80 billion dollars, and it is on an upward curve. Pre-wedding photography is one of the most significant and curious parts of the industry. Every couple marrying in China will take part in a pre-wedding shoot. It involves several costume and backdrop changes where you can become a character in any fantasy you choose. For the most exotic lo- cations couples pay up to $250,000 AUD. Pre-wedding photo shoots have become an important national ritual. They are proof of the marriage but now also of love, romance, freedom, status, money and the new China Dream. As an expat living in Shanghai with a long history of coming to China, Sinophile photographer Olivia Mar- tin-McGuire was captivated by the construction of dreams through this booming photographic world. Once she started to delve deeper into this new traditional she found a unique window into China. One that revealed a country dreaming, a country rapidly booming and a country reconstructing its recent past trauma all through their own lens. China Love takes us on a wild journey into the warmth of the family web in China into the hearts of our characters and into their personal dreams with an understanding of why and where these aspirations come from. The project explores China's new position as a globalised country from its restrictive and highly traditional past - through the window of its booming wedding industry and asks what is the new China Dream when it comes to love.
可能因為是同個男主角，看的時候總想起《苦役列車》。
人生嘛，总会越过越孤独，你会从想要结婚到觉得这是一件普通的事情，会从觉得抽烟不健康到变得烟不离手，越来越困住自己，然后变成龌龊的大人
真的很普通，吃饱了撑得才看，但作为文艺片的质感极好。
所有的往事如烟，都铺垫塑造了当下，环环相扣，不可分割。即使无法成为大人，也没人能挡住时间的推进和消逝；最后，在时间的齿轮之下，刻在心里的不舍与怀念，终究在触及旧景故人时全部迸发。
落幕黑屏后还是沉浸在震惊中，故事的其中终点的最后，这就是你我
有点梦想，有点普通，又有点不一样，不就是你我。
只要和青春有关的日式中年丧，看完心情都不会太好…
像是在翻QQ相册或博客，一个情绪向短片的内容水了一部电影的长度。
倒叙的感觉，就很无能为力，明知如此，必将如此
「真的很普通啊」曾经是她的口头禅，多年之后，她过上了普通的生活，这句话却成为了他的执念。
我可以忍受寂寞吗这个冬天 看完结论依然是不能
这近30年的时光不也正是我们的人生吗？时代点点滴滴。
我们都想成为一个有趣的人 最后却都成为了一个普通人
就是那種與現在的自己極match的電影。故事未必特別有新意，但氛圍、情緒，甚至那點倒敘都剛剛好。以及我們都在某個時刻以為自己是那人類的1%。
我们都从孩子慢慢长大 长大成为我们不想成为的大人
冲着导演有这个想法、这份心，也该给五星。因为这本身就已经非常难得了。
唱尾崎丰的时候还是有肉麻的感觉 并不是同时代的共鸣 而是后时代影响的回响 音乐喜好上的共鸣不意味多喜欢多契合 是无论如何都想肯定自己的自尊与自豪
过去的不管是喜悦还是沉重都是虚无再怎么往后看都是浪费时间没有任何意义，move on之后的自己才是真实的。
整体倒叙 先开始会觉得有点儿混乱，但慢慢 记忆的匣子打开 反倒是最初的懵懂最为清晰，回过头最早之前最近的混沌也串联起来 一下子觉得感动、失落、遗憾都汹涌而来………最早的那份青涩真的太动人了！🥲🥲🥲
“世界上80%的人都是垃圾，剩下的20都是人渣”……日本人真的很喜欢拍这种追忆青春感时伤怀混乱成长的疼痛故事
