When you feel hopeless, the boy holds the hilt of the knife

People are still discussing the topic of youth tirelessly, probably because of a kind of masturbation when people lose the right to be presumptuous, but everyone's youth cannot be Ctrl C+Crtl V, to be honest, it is easy to intervene in other people's lives , peeping at those secretive, surging hormones in ghosts is indeed easy to make adrenaline surge. So, entertainment becomes gossip, and saints become aunties.

School violence is an unavoidable topic of growth. When I was young, I often experienced the smoky toilets and the fraternity in the video room. I once beat up a guy for a friend who didn't know where he was running now. The guy was a head taller than me. The bridge of his nose was kicked off, and when he squatted down while holding his nose in pain, the people around him didn't make me sting, but rather showed off some pleasure. Violence gives people the most direct sensual pleasure, so that most young people will praise and pursue it.

The corrective effect of family and society is often smaller than the fearful eyes of peers. Consciously arrogant will only be overturned after reflecting on youth with the whole youth. Most of the generation that haunts the video room is a juvenile dream with some machetes and white pigeons. In the angry stage of growing up, I can think that the violence that happened to me or the surrounding is from the injustice and imperfection of the system, but after all, people are still some instinctive animals, appetite, sex, violence, when the sensibility is out of control, the system is invalid.

The road to death is actually very simple, an ordinary campus, an ordinary day, and then strafing with automatic weapons, and then drinking bullets to death.

I love guns, but not violence.

    Each character is not really "cared for", but is reduced to a coherence of events that "assembles" different, discrete temporal objects. Whether it is limited to the continuous guidance of the camera’s line of sight by the coherent actions of different individuals in the same space (canteen, library, basement), or the follow-up shots that are closely attached to the same individual to complete the transition between different spaces, “real time” can be constantly emphasized. , the picture equivalent to real time allows the power of silence and death to expand. Therefore, it is a betrayal of characters and a betrayal of time, but it maximizes the fermentation and diffusion of emotions.
