My Original Dream

About This Movie

So, "My Original Dream" is quite the interesting mix of comedy, drama, and romance that captures that awkward teenage phase. It revolves around Zhao Shanshan, who’s grappling with his feelings for the popular girl, Li Chunxia. But then, of course, a bully swoops in to complicate things. The film has this raw energy, especially with the pacing—it kind of mimics the chaotic life of university. You get a sense of Zhao's desperation, and his journey into the film world feels like a reflection of his own struggles. There are moments of genuine humor, and the cast brings a certain authenticity to their roles. There’s a kind of charm to its imperfections that makes it distinctive, really. It's not your typical love story, and that’s refreshing.
