      by / Director of Bow Valley

      From the first time I met Wang Xiaoshuai's film in "The Intruder", to this "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle", I would like to say that the director's work is "very powerful"!

      I don’t know if I can compare him with Lou Ye. It is also through the life of ordinary people to see the contradiction between society and class, but the difference is that Lou Ye...

      Not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves

      There is an old saying in China, "Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves thinking". Many people have a certain misunderstanding of this sentence. In fact, this sentence refers to a kind of spirit, a kind of persistence, and a kind of swearing not to give up until the goal is achieved. The stubbornness, in the words of this movie, is a word for "axis".
      Xiaogui lost the car sent to them by the courier company - the guy he ate; Xiaojian stole 500 yuan from his family...

      seventeen.

      At the age of seventeen, we have infinite longing for this unknown world, but we always want to conquer this world. So for the weak, fighting is the most direct way. If you don't follow my way, then we will fight, and whoever wins will have to obey. But there are some people who don't eat this set, just because you win doesn't mean you are right, and they are so stubborn that nine cows can't pull it back. It is because of being different that the world is full of strangeness. When I saw Ah Gui...

      after 17

      Stepping on the tip of my 19-year-old's tail, my seventeen-year-old is already in a trance, like a dream, and a story about a bicycle pulls me back to the ignorance and recklessness I once had, thinking of my quarrel with my parents, so hysterical . . . . . .
        For youth, different directors, different styles, different stories. Iwai can be called a master, and several classic masterpieces make me love the heart and lungs. At the same time, I also recommend several works by Taiwanese...

      Seventeen-year-old stubbornness and despair

      I finished watching "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle".
          I don't have too many feelings. The most impressive thing is Agui's words: "This is my car." A very stubborn child. Admit death. It was his bike, and he had to come back.
          After finally entering the city, I got a chance to work in a courier company. So he grabbed it like a life-saving straw. But it is good at seizing opportunities. But when he beat him, he still refused to hand over the bicycle, and even cried aloud while...

      I also wanted a new bike so badly, and I had a lot of arguments with my mom about it. I once went out on a date with a guy secretly, and in order to anger him, he was unusually affectionate with another guy. That was my youth, and I will never understand why youth is cruel, or the cruelty expressed in the form of youth is even more unbearable to witness. Because youth should have a luxurious coat, not a cruel name and...

      A year later, a movie called "Blue Gate" was released in Taiwan, which made countless girls dream of meeting Zhang Shihao at the age of seventeen, so of course no one has time to take care of it. At the same time, another time and space is playing a completely different A young man in a floral shirt? Some are just clumsy teenagers on bicycles in the alley. After all, the youth of people can be so...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film was banned from being released in mainland China because it participated in the Berlin Film Festival without being submitted for review   .
    In 2004, after the film was resubmitted for review, it passed the review of the Film Bureau of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and was allowed to be released. The film symbolically cut 8 scenes, but the name was changed to "Bicycle". This is the first underground film...

    Evaluation action

    The film's narrative techniques are clear and smooth, and the conflict settings are properly grasped, without any artificiality or deliberate sensationalism. For the emotional pursuit of contemporary young people in China, Wu Ming uses a frivolous method to edit life clips. Although the excavation of cruel reality is not deep enough, the fresh atmosphere created is still better than that of other directors of the same generation   ....o
