"Youth" is too educational. It tells us that everyone who is extremely embarrassed in front of the screen, especially me who just cried and shed tears at "Sunshine Sisters": The old classmates are happy to reunite and stay the same. It’s just a fairy tale for the lover to continue the front edge, and there is a song that has been sung long ago: "You are crying and tell me that fairy tales are all lie." All are lie, "Sunshine Sisters Amoy" "Fantastic Jeans", "Return to Seventeen", those blue skies, green trees, bright eyes, white shirts and blue skirts, those fake relief and hope for the future, are all deceptive, the real ending is Life is a lump of shit, it will always be a lump of shit, you can raise your head to take a breath, but you still have to get back into the lump of shit after all.
At the beginning of the film, when Maivis, who was distributing the Beatles, poured a big coke, the tone of the whole film was set. Her life was that coke, and the sweet bubble was an illusion of self-deception. How beautiful it is, it is just a bite of sugar water that causes no nutrition to make you fat. In the same way, crow's feet and eye bags will never be reduced because of the exquisite makeup, and life will never be changed because of the eyes of others. What is truly unhappy is actually a cold and numb heart that treats life.
The role of Maivis is split. For the older half, life has long been the same. She is not interested in the society she lives in and the so-called "other people's affairs", which directly leads to the continuous shrinking of the circle of life. I can only eavesdrop on other people’s conversations in the supermarket to polish my novels, so small that my truest side can only be shown to a mobile phone, a dog and a computer. How many people in this world live just around this Are the three things going around? There is a saying in the trailer that is very good: everyone is growing up, but not everyone is becoming mature. So for Maivis, her other half is naive, downright naive. She is nostalgic for the old days. At that time, she had her own circle, which was the "hair queen" in the circle. Many people liked her to pursue her, but she never knew what loneliness was, and knew that one day, the classmates around her All grown up.
What do you think when your ex-boyfriend passes you a photo of his daughter's birth? Think he sent you a distress signal in a mediocre life? What kind of brain circuit can produce such an idea! That's what Maivis thought, and she was extremely determined, so she returned to Mercury town in a hurry, seduce her unsuspecting ex-boyfriend with heavy makeup. This kind of unorganized, undisciplined and unprepared digging the wall, I can hardly condemn her, silly girl, stop dreaming, his life is not unhappy, and not choosing your day does not mean that he is here. Suffering, he looked exhausted because he loved his wife and daughter and tried his best to create a superior family environment for them. He did not think of you when he was sleepless, and he did not secretly beat his wife behind his back. Airplane, silly girl, don't dream anymore, please believe that without you, he would be just as good.
How stupid the band that used to be passionate about, how ugly the jacket that was once proud of, and how many people were scolding you "bitch and whore" with ferocious eyes behind the beautiful days of school. The reality is really cruel, especially for An old girl like Maivis. Everyone is growing up, getting married, and having children, but she is the only one who lingers in her "Queen Era", such a lingering, to say that it sounds better is to remember and miss the old days, to say it is ugly, but she is just a leftover girl. Self-consciousness and self-pity. Maivis felt that Buddy was pitiful because she was pitiful. She felt that Beth was unhappy because she was unhappy. She also confessed herself: "I want to be happy. It's really hard, but for For others, it seems that simple." She wants to replace Beth to regain Buddy, in fact, she wants to regain a piece of life, but if she can't give up her self and paranoia, she will become a footwear in the end of her glorious life. .
Living elsewhere, living elsewhere, and talking about it for so many years, I finally understand its meaning. At the beginning of the film, Maivis sat up from a man, packed her bags and went to a new life that she thought was right. At the end of the film, she still sat up from another man, packed her bags, and went back to the "old" and now "new" life. . In her eyes, Beth is very cool. She has her own children, family and career. She organizes her own band to sing for the man she loves. However, in the eyes of the girls in Mercury Town, Maivis turned into that cool person-living in a cool apartment, famous, beautiful, and seems really nice. What is a good life? The good life is always elsewhere.
Director Jason Redman once directed "Juneo". In fact, "Youth" and "Juneo" are the pros and cons of a card. Juno is a small body with a mature soul, while Mai Wei On the other hand, Sally’s mature appearance conceals the naive facts, but the common point of the two films is obvious, that is, they are direct and interesting. Everywhere reveals the director’s cleverness. Sally, who has been experienced in "The Devil" Stheron has no pressure to play the role of Maivis, who is such a small villain and evil. Thanks to her, such a protagonist's various unpleasant movies don't look ugly.
At the end of the film, there is a sentence that hits me very well: "For the people in Mercury Town, it doesn’t matter what happens, because they have no money." No matter how happy our happiness is, no matter how painful our pain is, it doesn’t matter. Because we have nothing.
