Cape No.7: Everyone in the story is the protagonist of life.

"If you pass by No.84 Charing Cross Road, please give me a kiss, because I owe her a lot …" When I finished reading Cape Seven, I suddenly remembered Helen Hanfu's most famous sentence.

No.7 Haijiao, Hengchun County, the old address 60 years ago is unknown, and 7 affectionate love letters are about to be returned. Sixty years, across the sea, the regret and lovesickness between two people will be buried silently by time?

In this way, the film shuttles between two stories.

Connecting the two stories in Cape Seven are seven letters written by a male teacher to Duan Liyang Kojima. It is not so much a letter as a love letter. Sadly, when Aga saw these letters, they had been waiting for 60 years.

In 60 years and 7 days, Japanese male teachers wrote down their lifelong thoughts, regrets, regrets, cowardice, unwillingness and, more importantly, endless affection for their lovers.

When the ship landed safely, these letters were also sealed in the closet, afraid to ask.

The film cuts back to the modern town of Hengchun County, and the depressed young people return from Taipei. You are unhappy, and everyone who comes out right away is unhappy. However, if you don't look back, you won't find the author's intention is clever.

Potato said, "Everyone is the director of life." So, what Cape Seven wants to tell you is that everyone is a star in life.

Jia returned to Hengchun in frustration, full of anger and unwillingness. The seaside concert in the town attracted Naoko Waichuan and international models to shoot and publicize, while Tomoko, who was originally a model, was reduced to a handyman assistant and translator. When Mao Bo delivered the letter, he met the representative chairman (Ajia's stepfather) who greeted him on the road. The deputy chairman ignored Tomoko's obstruction and broke into the photographer's camera, which led to Tomoko being scolded. Naoko Waichuan and the model couldn't swim in the sea in the car. A quarrel led to the driver's distraction, which led to the bus colliding with Mao Bo, the messenger, and the bus broke his leg. Tomoko, who returned to the hotel, was even more angry because she accidentally bumped into a pearl smoking in the room toilet.

Mao Bo broke his leg, so Aga had to deliver the letter for him. Being late for the first day, he met Ma Lao, a traffic policeman in a bad mood, on the way to deliver the letter. They were fighting in the street and were stopped by the old traffic police. When the motorcycle was sent for repair, I met the mechanic, Shuifrog. After a word, the water frog ignored Jia and lay alone on the locked shutter door of the garage, as if waiting for something.

Jia Jia, Tomoko, Mao Bo, Ma Lao, Vice Chairman Pearl, Water Frog; Then there are Da, Malasang, the shop owner and Grandma Pearl. Everyone on Cape 7 is connected into a ring, forming a story for each other, connecting the emotions of several generations across time, but they all have their own stories.

Jia's musical dream was shattered, and he turned himself into a loser. He desperately looks for a breakthrough, diving by the sea every night, but he doesn't know how to find himself. His story is a process of self-seeking, lonely and difficult to understand. But between him and Tomoko, a cross-border love is slowly fermenting without warning in the mutual running-in of the band.

Tomoko's work is not smooth. She is in a foreign land, and her speech is unreasonable, which is out of tune with the surrounding environment. As a girl, she doesn't know what to do in the future. Unwilling and resentment became her initial main emotions. There is no hope that the model's dream will come true, and people in life oppose it everywhere. She is also trapped in her own bottleneck and can't get out.

I don't want to be an old national treasure, I play the piano well and I don't want to be forgotten by young people. I have unlimited enthusiasm for performance; Ma Lao, an unknown policeman, has a love story related to "tears", and his own Princess Rukai lives in his heart, which is his persistence in love.

Ajia's stepfather, on behalf of the chairman, is bent on young people returning to their hometown for development, and he has a persistent love for Hengchun Town in his heart. If it weren't for his insistence, there might be no follow-up story. However, the story of him and Aga's mother is not told much in the film, but we can capture the middle-aged people's desire for family and companionship in a certain shot.

Pearl, a lonely woman who started smoking in the bathroom of Tomoko's room, you can feel her inner pain from her smoke ring. And like her, she is full of worries and her daughter is older. What is the story of a woman who raises a child with mild autism alone and needs cigarettes at all times? How can an ordinary hotel waiter who is left unattended speak fluent Japanese? The story of the pearl, there is only silence in the movie. "You must be badly hurt by a man, right? Is he a great father? I am also looking for a girl whose heart died sixty years ago. " Naoko Waichuan and Mingzhu made up. When asked this question, Mingzhu didn't say anything. Everything is in her smoke ring and eyes.

The most surprising thing is that this hotel waiter who seems to have nothing to do with the main line of the story has become the key clue of the story. Together with the seven love letters, she connected the two stories in the movie. After 60 years, I finally got the news from Tomoko Kojima.

I will never forget it. When Jia finally delivered the letter to grandma Tomoko in the country before the concert, he quietly left the iron box full of letters and put it beside the old man. It's like slowly holding the lover who left without saying goodbye to the old man.

Just let them sit quietly for a while, not disturbing is the best gentleness.

Water frog, secretly loves the owner of the car dealership alone, regardless of return. When Mingzhu asked Shuifrog at the wedding banquet table, "I am a semi-old Xu Niang with three children, but the key is that my husband is not dead. What's good about you? " The water frog said, "Have you ever seen frogs mate? A female frog, with two or three male frogs on her back, gets along well. What do you care about two men and one woman? " His love for the proprietress has his own opinions and persistence, regardless of other people's gossip. In his world, he is the protagonist.

Malasang, a business representative who never gave up, tried his best to promote his agent's millet wine, which finally moved the representative chairman and was widely promoted at the wedding banquet in the town. I didn't like him at first, but later I won the favor of the hotel front desk through persistence and enthusiasm. After all, his ordinary appearance shines brightly.

People in these stories all have different personalities. They are all little people who live seriously. Everyone has his own story, but they all bear an indispensable part of the main story. These people with different personalities, ages and experiences have crossed each other in small town life, or passed by, or looked at each other coldly, or fought with each other, but finally explained what life should be like: everyone has his own trajectory, but in different relationships, he has contact with others, from strangers to mutual help and love, from coldness to mutual understanding, or just silently paying attention to and not understanding words, and interacting with each other.

This is the real touching place of Cape Seven.

Everyone in the story is the protagonist of his own story. The charm of Cape Seven lies in that it can make the story itself wonderful and make other people's stories unfinished in places not covered by the film. You know, isn't life such an interrelated and complicated combination?

"Miss Tomoko, what are you worried about?"

"I was thinking it's raining. What should I do for tomorrow's concert? "

"Don't worry, don't you expect the rainbow?"

This is a conversation between Kousuke Atari and Naoko Waichuan at Cape 7 on their way back from the airport. Then, I remembered "Two Love Letters from Beijing and Seattle". Shrimp dried her tears in the street and said, "You can't see the starlight until it is dark." Waiting for the rainbow is a philosophy of life. As long as there is hope, everything will be fine.

The concert is about to begin. When Tomoko knew her old address 60 years ago, she insisted that Jia deliver the letter. Because, she knows, since she has decided to leave, don't let her heart leave more regrets.

In the end, Jia came back before the concert, and expressed her mind with a song "South of the Border".

After the rain, the rainbow came out, and the people in the story finally spent a cloudy day and recovered their colors. If one day, you feel that your life is very bad, please go to a small town called Hengchun, take a walk on that beautiful seaside, and then empty yourself to find the place called "Cape No.7".

There, give a gentle kiss and use the bright color of your lipstick. ......
