Cool in form and content. In terms of form, Shuangwen will use short paragraphs, bold key words, and deliberate paragraphs to emphasize key paragraphs and adjust the narrative rhythm, list points, etc. so that readers can continue to read more easily. There are only 20 episodes of this film. Minutes, just stuck at the point of one's concentration.
In terms of content, it is nothing more than a curious teenage adventure, trying to improve the hormone levels in the adolescents' bodies, so that they can get a grown-up and rebellious imagination in the process of watching movies. The current situation is unsatisfactory, but they do not like the life of the adults around them, so the other path they can choose is to rebel and run away from home. A collection of exciting elements: twisted family (stepfather), young men and women, running away from home, breaking into a mansion, sex, breaking up, murder, running away, cops gay, theft.
Of course, they also succeeded in organically combining these elements into what a good film should look like: there is a backtrack at the beginning of each episode, the plot of the episode is tight, and new events are constantly arranged to happen or new characters appear, and each episode ends. There is a suspense left, the script is still good. Several narrative lines are also relatively clear: the male line, the female line, and the tracing line. First, the situation of men and women is described separately, let them meet and flee, insert black men in the branch line, kill people, escape together, and separate the men and women. Trace lines appeared, covering the police, the families of the victims, and the families of men and women. Later, the male and female lines are combined again and continue to develop.
In terms of lens language, it adopts the form of third-person narrative + first-person character monologue. There are plenty of clips where the characters look directly into the camera. Generally speaking, this is a taboo for objective description, because looking directly at the camera exposes the "film" nature of the video. After all, who would speak to God from God's perspective. But this film chose to do so. On the one hand, the viewers have an omniscient perspective and understand all kinds of things they do. On the other hand, the characters will take the initiative to tell them, bringing a feeling of frankness and dialogue, which can even resonate with young movie viewers.
In general, the color of the whole film should be said to be bleak. It seems that some kind of filter has been added, which is more gloomy, especially the forest section. I don't know anything about photography specifically, so I won't comment much. The actor's face also fits this atmosphere: bags under the eyes, nasolabial lines, and the heroine seems to have some freckles?
There are still some small thoughts. Personally, I am quite impressed by their outfits. The clothes of the boys and girls are all good, the male protagonist has hairy hair and dark sweaters, and the female protagonist has a floral skirt and jacket. Then the girl's waist-to-hip ratio is really good, the white shirt + jeans dancing in the room made me swallow (covering my face)
So looking at it as a whole, the feeling of being a teenager is created, and the music is great and it creates this atmosphere, including the plot, although it is a bit unreal to say that running away from home and killing people, but the description after the killing is still in place: Panicked, apprehensive, and felt that everyone was looking at me. This has a sense of reality. It is also a very clever way to set the heroine to save the little boy at the back, which makes the heroine's character complex, and it is also convenient for the audience to not only pity her, but also like her.
But it has to be said that what they do is really immoral. Their childhoods were miserable, but that doesn't lead to everything, and it doesn't justify what they did. And research has proved (heard on a radio, that program about positive psychology) that childhood misfortune does not have such a big impact on people, the human brain is plastic, people are changeable, but many situations are The psychiatrist guides the patient to recall the original family experience to cause harm to the patient. They are already 17 years old, they can't put everything on "unfortunate childhood", they should take their own responsibility. Especially the man, her mother may be depressed, but his father treats him so well. The behavior of hitting people and stealing cars (actually they are all car robbing) is unforgivable.
The viewing experience is still good, and I will continue to follow the second season.
