so i decided to post some pictures of my christmas presents coz they are way tooo cute not to share!

look what i've got during the Christmas party! it's stainless steel soap! never seen this before. Apparently it acts as a deodorant to remove those unpleasant smell from your hands, let it be onion, garlic or the fishy stench!

故事讲述一个患有轻度智障的女生，和一个原本个性孤僻，与父亲关系恶劣的男生的故事

女生在男生的叔叔的面包店打工，就认识那个男生

男生从原本对她的不耐烦，变到慢慢喜欢

可是双方家人都反对

电影中的女主角很喜欢向日葵，在双方父母反对得最激烈的时候，男的不顾一切，到女生的特殊学校把女生带走，一起坐火车到泰国的一大片向日葵花园

向日葵花园很美，可是他们人在泰国的那2天，也因为女生的智障而导致他们遇到不少麻烦

女的还差点被拐带走

回来的时候，女生的妈妈说：“如果你能比我更爱她，我愿意让你来作它的太阳。”

不过男主角迟疑了。

我觉得那个男生迟疑的地方，很真实

因为没有人能够保证一切

他也没有不顾一切地给了什么不切实际的承诺

结局是，有记者采访男主角，因为擅于画画的他，画了一幅名为《48分钟后的微笑》得了奖

那是一幅满满都是向日葵的画。。

男主角面对记者的问题，就微笑，然后电影就结束了。

最后的结局留给人很多的想像空间。。

可是那个爱情很感人，可是同时也有看到人性跟现实残酷的一面

所以我觉得，这个电影很简单，可是真实又感人。。。不像那种台湾偶像剧太超乎现实


为什么是“48分钟后的微笑”呢？

因为女主角告诉男主角，向日葵是要在48分钟过后，才会完全地向着太阳。只要一向着太阳，向日葵就会一直地固定在原地，不会再移动了。

这也象征了他们纯真的爱吧。

这个故事的plot太棒了！给它5颗星 :D 希望Youtube或土豆网可以快快upload上来，想再看一次 :)

theme song 是serene koong的《受保护》，好好听。大家可以google找找看哦 :)
