About Mengdong

In fact, Pierre didn't make me pay more attention. His character has little strength except for his fragile beauty and high voice. From the beginning, he was marked with the protagonist's face "angel's face, devil's heart". However, throughout the whole film, Pierre did not have many outrageous actions. The only thing that caught people's attention was the description of the relationship between mother and son. After Mengdong's slander, he felt suspicious to spy on his mother's whereabouts and observe whether he had an affair with others. ; Throwing an ink bottle while sniffing out the intimacy between Mr. Matthew and his mother, unexpectedly portrays a monopolistic and dependent maniac.

What makes me always pay attention is Meng Dong. Since his appearance, I have been thinking about how the director will show Meng Dong's changes. What surprised me is that from the beginning of the film, he was a scumbag, and at the end of the film, he Still a scumbag. The director didn't even think about whitewashing the character at all. I have to say that Meng Dong's performance is the most delicate among this group of children. First of all, the dirty face and clothes, the vague wounds, and the exposed chest are very consistent with the external personality of a rogue scum, and are more convincing. It is the smirk of Lao Yu Zhouxuan, whether he succeeds or loses, he has a way of repaying the world as an authentic hooligan. For rogues, the most important thing is to deal with all the momentum and the Jedi counterattack. Mengdong is a complete rogue, completely hopeless. He does not think that the kindness of others needs to be rewarded. Knowing that life is worthy of respect, it is most important to implement his self-defined view of justice.

However, there is still a little hazy, I don't quite understand, that is the relationship between Mondon and Pierre. Pierre did not accept Matthew's request and was ridiculed by Matthew that "not everyone has a good voice", Mengdong immediately showed a displeased look and walked out of the classroom. Note that the camera gave a short-term feature here, and Mengdong did not show it. The usual smile, but the displeasure from the heart. Afterwards, Mengdong approached Pierre and asked to protect Pierre. This is probably the only place where Mengdong showed goodwill? Mundon seems to have some kind of affection for Pierre, which immediately turns to malice when he is rejected.

I have to say that the whole film is shrouded in romanticism. The janitor who was maliciously injured was not blind or dead; the boys all love music and love the collective, and the rebellious demons are very cooperative; the principal always gives a certain degree of connivance . Among all these conceivable benign developments, only Mengdong's stroke is truly shocking.
