It's Cancer Moon.

A few days ago, my colleague suddenly lamented that half of this year has passed, and time seems to be getting faster and faster. Cancer's birthday month will take us into the second half of the year. I don't know if you also have the same feeling of passing through the gap, how much do you want to accomplish this year? I mentioned in the horoscope of the Cancers, you may have been in a state of "habit" and "safety" for a long time, and the birthday month will bring changes to your fortune and get new gains from stability. So if there is anything you want to accomplish in the second half of the year, you can give it a try. Regarding the detailed horoscope part, it has been released in advance.

And this one will concentrate on recommending some movies and television works suitable for watching in the month of Cancer, books that can be read, and some small gifts suitable for Cancer, I hope you will like it.

Lookable

"Stop-and-Go"

In the first half of this year, I didn't watch as many movies as before, and even fewer I thought I liked and wanted to recommend to everyone. "Stop-and-Go" can be ranked among the top three that I have watched this year, it is very light and relaxed, whether it is the expression of joy or sorrow. The story begins to unfold from the male protagonist to the middle-aged North Drifter, failing in both love and career, and then returning to his hometown. Although I want to express it is a big issue about life, I don't preach at all.

The first half of the movie is a comedy, and the director's aesthetic of laughter is very unusual, not the kind of big stool we always see, relying on the protagonist to make a fool of himself and tell some low-level jokes. It's a very good sense of humor, where each character shows another side after what you see, and there are a lot of surprises that grow naturally from the story and the characters, and those strong chemistry creates some warm laughs.

Every time you think you've guessed the direction of the story, it's going to go somewhere else. You think that the protagonist will be healed by his family when he returns to his hometown after failure, will reap love, will find the meaning of life, and will accumulate energy to set off again, but in fact, nothing happened. It deconstructs success, deconstructs the rural pastoral dream that has been rendered a lot recently, and deconstructs a lot of pain in life.

Except for the protagonist, no one else is a tool man, and everyone has made their own life choices. The male protagonist returned to the small city from the big city, the female protagonist went from the small city to the big city and back to the small city, and the male protagonist's sister went from the small city to the big city. It also shows that parents have no choice, they are trapped in a step-by-step space, doing what they have been disciplined to do.

I recommend it to Cancers because Cancers are often the ones who are pushed along, because Cancers need more habits and familiarity, and the big changes that come with big decisions can bring you too much insecurity. But real life, just like the movie shows, there is no road that you should take, you don't know where you will go, and it is normal for seemingly very correct choices to go to a dead end. We're just stopping, don't dare.

Drifting

I watched this cartoon at the just-concluded Shanghai Film Festival, and there were no lines but a strong sense of substitution. Another anime "Robot Dream" that also has no lines has been recommended, and it's also very good. The story is one similar to Noah's Ark, where the apocalyptic flood strikes and the kitten embarks on its adventure by boat. A kitten with no bad intentions, the world will come to your aid. The only reason I recommend it is because the graphics and story are healing. After watching it, it's like drinking an ice-cold drink in the summer sun.

Dream

I've seen this movie so many times that I'm a little bit out of count, and every time I need some peace of mind, I turn it on. You don't have to look very closely, because the viewing process is just like the name of the movie, a lot like a dream. There are a total of eight different scenes of dreams, showing the fears and dreams in the director's heart. I advise everyone to look at it as if it were their own dreams, not to study the process and metaphors too much, and just to feel. I even think that the logic of the last three stories is a bit too strong, and it would be better if it was more like a dream, as long as the weird beauty is repeated constantly. If you feel irritable, depressed or tired, you can watch this movie, the effect is the same as a sleep.

《Pitfall》

The tone, editing, and composition are very, very beautiful movies, full of a lot of wonders, unbelievably beautiful, really friendly to the eyes, I really want to use a very rustic word to describe it, that is, the elegance is peerless. But apart from this word, I really can't think of a little oppressive feeling if and describe this magnificence. The story is about a stuntman who is paralyzed in the lower half of his body due to an injury, and meets a little girl who breaks her arm in the hospital, and he tells her a wonderful fairy tale, and the movie shuttles back and forth between reality and whimsical fairy tales, which is also very much like a dream. The story of a middle-aged frustrated man who picked up Lori and was then cured I feel like I have been filmed countless times. This time their adventure does not take place in the real world, but in a fairy tale. Suddenly there was a little more freshness.

Readable

Red Lips

Author: [Argentina] Manuel Puig

Publisher: Guangxi Normal University Press

Translator: Li Yuqi

Reading this book feels a bit like a puzzle game, intermittently piecing together a complete story from different perspectives, a dead man, and a lot of women. In the story, human beings have a very high concentration of desires, and use various means, hormones, and languages to achieve their own desires. I actually think that in real life, everyone is a restrained adult and will not be so lost, so the indulgent emotional display in the story is very charming. It took me a long time to read this book because I was tired from the high concentration of human entanglements, but I couldn't help but read it and wonder about their fate. My Cancer friends, though they have always had a good life, have wild fantasies, and I think they should be able to satisfy your appetite.

Imagining Zoology

Authors: [Argentina] Jorge Luis Borges / [Argentina] Margarita Guerrero

Publisher: Shanghai Translation Publishing House

Translator: Huang Jinyan

I just got it not long ago, and I want to recommend it before I even finish reading it, and it is some rare birds and beasts imagined by humans, strange creatures, and I think it's fun. It is a book that can be used to pass the time and relax the brain. I enjoyed reading Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and reading this book is the same feeling.

"A Man's Last Journey"

Author: [日]上野千鹤子

Publisher: Zhejiang University Press

Translators: Ren Jiayun / Wei Jinmei / Lu Weiwei

This is a book that explores death from both a practical and a spiritual level. Because when I get older, my friends around me will face the pain of their parents and provide for their old age. So I bought it and looked at it, and there was actually no perfect solution to any problem, but I felt like I was getting a lot of emotional preparation. Maybe the people who follow me are still very young and children, and they don't care about this problem. But Cancer usually pays more attention to family issues, and this book will also give people some new insights on family issues, maybe you want to know about them.

Lovely

pgdesign pupu毛毡收纳盒

This felt box comes in two different sizes, the small one is as big as a matchbox and can be used to hold small jewelry such as girls' earrings and rings, and the larger one is similar to that for stationery. Anyway, as someone who doesn't like anything to be scattered in a prominent place, I see all kinds of different storage boxes put in the shopping cart as soon as possible, although I probably end up buying the simplest white styles, which should be more suitable for girls.

02

Chikoku platform sole non-slip slippers

The slippers made of EVA material are very light, and they are super soft, with a strong feeling of stepping on. The omelette and baguette are really cute. I can even wear it out the door if I feel like it's a good match.

03

Dulton petal toothbrush holder

I've bought a lot of different Dulton stainless steel things, and they're really good at designing everyday items that you haven't thought of, and it's amazing to be with stainless steel.

L:A BRUKET保湿沐浴露

I've been using spruce flavors lately, which is very much like walking in a cedar forest, and it also goes well with the wet weather in Shanghai right now. This brand also has very regular roses and bergamot, I think they taste good, not the kind of very sweet fragrance, and smell very clean. I actually think that the effect of the shower gel is almost the same, the most important thing is whether you like the taste or not, so I love to buy different shower gels to try, after all, some people do not use perfume, but the shower gel must be used every day.

I believe that many Cancers, despite their emotional side, maintain a positive and optimistic attitude towards life. I feel that Cancers always have a childlike side in their hearts, but they are adults very early on. I hope that you will also continue to actively enjoy the new harvest that fate brings. As well as Cancer Month, we should spend more time with family and friends, and all the people and things that make us feel safe and comfortable. Finally, I wish the Cancers a happy birthday.
