Qing chun 18×2 tong wang you ni de lü cheng

Interesting. I've been thinking about a similar core for a story for many years, now.

So, while I anticipated the direction it would take early on, it was also deeply rewarding to see a similar core so well-executed. It felt like finally closing a book I'd been reading for ages.. or as if I was watching something that was made for me, and loosely based on similar experiences and thoughts.

Naturally, this film is far more developed than anything I could have created, with its rich layers and memorable moments. The scenery, the narrative structure, and the excellent leading actors. It's so much more than just the basic framework I had in mind! With people from different places, cultures and languages.

Today, I'm quite satisfied.
