"Better Days" takes a different approach to the subject matter. It is not to recall the beauty of youth from the eyes of people past, but to face the pain and helplessness of youth, such as the stressful and suffocating college entrance examinations, such as campus bullying. From the perspective of genre, the shadow of Korean and Japanese crime films can be seen in "Better Days", coupled with the direct attention to real problems, it is very rare in domestic films. The film brings the topic of campus bullying into the public eye. Compared with the plot, the reality is more cruel. The film does not stand up to "class". It has a good story, a credible relationship between the characters, and the actors also have good performances. This movie is a good interpretation of how we can better protect our children
.
The film more realistically restored the atmosphere before the college entrance examination, with a large number of close-ups, follow-ups, hand-held mirrors, and fragmented editing to create a strong sense of reality. Under the tense narrative rhythm, the film tries to arouse the attention and thinking of the audience while telling a good story: Why did such a thing happen, and how to avoid repeating it? It is the positive intervention in real life that makes the film break out of the small sorrows and joys of "you don't know the feeling of sorrow for young people, and to give new words the strong expression of sorrow", so that youth-themed movies have a certain amount of realistic care
