这个故事也许看起来一切都还OK，但是深入进去，发现这一切都像崩塌了一样。如果这一切发生在我身上，我该怎么办，我是留下还是结束这一切呢。
我预测不了这个结果，只知道，胆怯如我，一定会选择逃避。
喜欢女孩为了梦想而活，也感激男孩勇敢的表白。
如果留下，要更感激生命。每一天都是美好的一天，每一天都有太阳升起。我们应该快乐。

We, grown-ups, seems to be stubbornly convinced that young adult stories are stupid, and only teenagers themselves will be silly enough to fall in love with this kind of "so-called" romantic novels.
For that we already knew the transitory characteristic of love. We understand it, crystal clear, right from the beginning of the film that their love story might not even live through the winter, they are not going to survive the long distance after high school, not to mention that the post-traumatic stress our heroine must deal with as long as she wake up after the car accident(, though this is the story in its sequel 'Where She Went'). We know that, time itself might bring an end to the relationship between this young man and this young woman.

But, is it not the most beautiful part of every teenager love story, or of puberty? What make those young children, those teenager boys and girls so attracting is that they take their pure love, their approaching departure, their breakup as this important that their hearts are tortured by whips for thousands of times. The pain is all that matters, that hurts, that suffocates, and they think they will never get through this. They struggle, they quarrel, they cry, they reconcile with each other, as love and pain remains the only theme of their adolescence.

They do not know now, but they will understand it one day, that all these love and pain, joy and suffering will become a memory with bitter sweets or even a memory with no colour, a memory that brings back no sensation. However, this never counteract the real experience they are right now undergoing. All these hurts, all these emotions, all these tears are once so real, that almost break their hearts or already broke them. They live in drama, not because they are affected, but their lives are filled with dramatic conflicts.

Not until the puberty ends, along with the death of drama, will these whole true life-play come to a termination.
Then, teenage love, which is so void but sincere, dies alongside with it.

因为看过西语版本的小说兴致勃勃跑来看了翻拍的电影，可能是因为已经仔细阅读了原著，看电影时居然有一种神圣的感觉，像是沿着一条breadcrumb一点点拾掇着原著里的情节。
总体来说，可能画面注定没有文字与生俱来的细腻感，再加上时间限制，电影里的心理活动相比起原著里丝丝入扣的描写明显平淡许多。然而原著里突出的情节在电影里都得到了很好的还原，比如年轻时代朋克风的爸爸妈妈，热爱iggy pop的泰迪小弟，摇滚风的亚当和大提琴家米娅。正如米娅自己说的，是大提琴造就了自己，虽然让她觉得与家庭成员毫不一致，但是也让她感受到了爸爸无私的爱，为了米娅极高的天赋，他选择放弃了乐队。正如他说，有时候，牺牲是必要的。
最后米娅还是在挣扎中醒来，或许是爷爷的释然，或许是好友的鼓励，又或许是亚当的挽留和吉他，总之，醒来后的生活确实是大变样，不过，一切都会好起来的，不是吗？
最后表白男主，青涩的脸庞简直是少女心扑通，玩音乐果真是大大的魅力加分项。

这部影片用灵魂来讲述“选择”这个话题，很是值得一看。片中米娅一直都在回忆从前生活的点滴，以决定去留，许许多多的回忆以及亲人、闺密、男友在她病床前的言语，时时刻刻左右着她的想法。还好，最终爱情战胜了逃避，她男友的话让她下了决定，she stay !
不得不说，语言真是一把威力无穷的武器。言者无意，听者有心，闻者足戒！
