As a small-cost production film released in Hollywood in the United States, this film has won the awards of thousands of viewers and the reputation of film critics since its release in the United States in 2010. According to director Rob Reiner, the film's production cost is about $14 million. Compared to the superhero movies that invested hundreds of millions of dollars, the film won an excellent reputation with a small cost. "Flipped" is not limited to the traditional film narrative method, but uses a different new film narrative technique, constructing two narrative clues that are intertwined, making the film have both narrative levels and binary alterations. Thus, this ordinary story unexpectedly introduced an alternative and effective narrative method in the filming process. The innovation and pioneering of the film is the success of the film work.
The film focuses on a first love story from the 1960s. Bryce’s family, born in a middle-class family, moved to the town, and the girl next door, Juli, came to help. She fell in love with him at first sight, and her wish was to get his kiss. The two are classmates. She has always tried to approach him, but he avoided it. Juli likes to climb the tall sycamore trees to see the scenery. But because of the construction, the tree is to be cut off. She swears to defend and hope Bryce fights together, but he retreats. It was not until Bryce's grandfather appeared and inspired him that he really let go of all prejudice and gradually understood and accepted Juli. He apologized to her. So they released their suspicions, and the two ignorant and pure hearts finally came together. It was a wonderful memory that everyone had longed for.

The film can be regarded as a perfect return of Rob Reiner. The whole film shooting technique is fluent, without falling into the cliché of the plot and deliberately lyrical traditional narrative. The whole film adopts a two-line narrative structure, which is in line with the switching of the perspective of the characters, showing the rich details of daily life. Under the interaction of the two children who have opened their hearts, they present their different personality characteristics and values. The film is full of innocence and romance. In the narrative, the relationship between girls and boys was gradually unveiled, and a wonderful and meaningful depiction of growth was carried out. The film incorporates many popular movie elements, such as retro shots, beautiful scenery and innocent teenage girls. 60-year-old director Rob Reiner used his professionalism and rottenness to produce a love puff movie that looks like a retro age.
This movie is not very fresh in the whole storyline. It can even be said to be a simple or old-fashioned plot. However, after watching the movie, the audience was deeply inspired. This is entirely due to the shooting power of director Rob Reiner. The director used a third-person narrative technique in the filming process, with strong subjective color and emotional inclination, which made the protagonist in the film often show the unique character values. The switching narrative of multiple character perspectives makes the subjective manifestation appear gradually objective. The beauty of human nature has a multi-faceted nature. Whether it is the love of men and women or the love of loved ones, all the beauty will be fascinating and moving. After watching the film, Juli and Bryce will make you feel like you are growing up.
