Flipped plot

"You never forget your first love."

Flipped tells the story of Juli Baker and Bryce Loski. Juli loves chickens, often spends long hours at the top of her favorite tree, and believes, from the beginning she saw his beautiful blue eyes, that one day she will kiss Bryce. Unfortunately, Bryce doesn't feel much for Juli. He even thinks she's a little strange, because who likes chickens and sits stupidly in a tree for so long? In group eight, however, everything changes. Bryce is starting to like Juli a lot, while Juli is starting to think that Bryce's beautiful blue eyes might be as empty as he is...

Reiner is a good but somewhat erratic director. Made two of my absolute all time favorites (When Harry Met Sally.... and Stand by Me), but also some real misses (North, The Story of Us). Frankly, I had never heard of this Flipped, already seven years old, missed it at the time and now caught up with Film1. Flipped is mainly described on Wikepedia as the film that brought in far too little at the box office in relation to the cost, but nevertheless I thought this was a pleasant film to watch once. Set in the late fifties of the last century (so maybe it was too nostalgic for the general public) a small but nice romantic story is told about a first budding childhood love. Never get as tacky as it sounds thanks to the inventive narration (throughout the film the situations are always told from the two different perspectives, so that the film also shows in a funny way how people can interpret events completely differently) and due to the calm, self-assured direction in which Reiner stays very to the point in just under an hour and a half and doesn't waste a moment. Some things, especially with the supporting characters, could have been worked out better ( so we'll never find out what exactly is the frustration of Bryce's father), but in total this is a pleasant viewing pleasure . The high standard of Reiner's best work is not met but Flipped definitely deserved more credit than the financial flop for which he is now known. Worth the effort.

Sweet little video from Rob Reiner. The story takes place, as it were, around an old plane tree that is in danger of being cut down. Beautiful tree by the way. It is also a different type of plane tree than you usually find here. Plane trees are real city trees; they thrive in polluted air, withstand pruning well and have the advantage of growing vigorously. Like love that always triumphs. Due to the extreme drought last summer, large pieces of bark fell off their trunks and they are now just naked, I think. As a sapling, the plane tree is not that much, but once grown they are beautiful specimens. So leave those trees!
Love is not easy to catch. A girl gets a new boy next door and immediately falls in love with him, but the boy doesn't see her at that moment. At some point she gets tired of him. Only when he realizes that she is no longer in love does he finally get the butterflies in the stomach.. Rejection is a great aphrodisiac of course.

Every now and then an aesthetically uninteresting title like 'Flipped' (2010) comes in harder than I expected. The attraction and repulsion between neighbor kids Bryce Loski (Callan McAuliffe) and Juli Baker (Madeline Carroll) is deceptively simple in design. A boy and a girl in the late 50s/early 60s, when a looser youth culture emerges and a stronger female voice starts to ring through patriarchal power relations. Against this context, their puppy love unfolds through mirrored changes of perspective through his and her voice-overs. That style trick always sheds a different light on Bryce's average middle-class family headed by a domineering father, who projects his own shortcomings onto the new neighbors. Or Julie's reflections on the consequences of her less-conformist artist family with chickens in the garden and an untidy lawn. Or the painful circumstance that caring for a mentally handicapped uncle not only puts a strain on their financial situation, but also creates a stigma in suburbia's bourgeoisie. 'Flipped' (2010) is a moving little coming-of-age film, in which the friction between the youthful characters takes shape in an adult way. With a pinch of sweet nostalgia and an eye for the sometimes poignant mores of being young.
