Although I have known this movie for a long time, the reason why I haven't watched it is because the introduction of the movie made me think that it is a happy movie about bad boys in the city. After watching it, I realized that this is a movie for adults. fairy tale.
The movie is my favorite style of painting. As mentioned in the confession at the beginning of the movie, the city of Takamachi can probably be called the kingdom of fairy tales. The visual impact brought by the colorful colors, the long-shot city overlooking, the world mixed with crowded streets, these elements of the fairy tale kingdom are all found in this film. In terms of the plot, many people commented that it was unfinished, the rhythm was confusing, and the script was mediocre. I can't agree with this. Although there are not many movies that we have watched, the movie conveys more than just a story. We always look for something in line with our own thoughts from the movie. If a movie is inconsistent with most of our views If it coincides, we will be full of praise for it, otherwise we will be bored. It's like watching a movie about love for someone who has no experience in love. No matter what, they can't understand the emotional entanglement in it. After watching it, they can only comment lightly, XX is really stupid! Looking back on the many movies we have seen before, it is not difficult to find that although the stories are different, many movies are actually expressing the same truth, but each director has a different way of telling the story. Talking about the balance of "black" and "white", it can't help but remind me of the popular teenage pie not long ago. Ang Lee tells his understanding of "black" and "white" in human hearts through a story of drifting at sea. The villain, on the other hand, is through the struggle against unstoppable urban change. The juvenile pie threw a mystery to the audience, and the story of the villain explained every clue clearly, so that the audience had already understood the general direction of the movie in the first half. The juvenile school leaves the choice to the audience, but the villain clearly tells the audience that no one is perfect, and the "black" and "white" in people's hearts are indispensable and interdependent, and use love to maintain "black" and "white" balance.
In this way, Ang Lee's script for the teenage pie is just a metaphorical rehash of the same old tune. After watching the youth pie, what puzzled me all the time was the departure of the tiger at the end. If the tiger is the so-called black, and the PI itself is the so-called white, after drifting at sea, the PI and his inner tiger finally achieved peaceful coexistence, but the tiger was In the end, I left myself. Some people in the film critics said that this is the PI's self-purification, but I think it is almost impossible for people to completely abandon evil and become a pure person. At this point, I think evil children The black and white balance that is promoted is more in line with the social nature of people, and it is also more real. Among the villains, "black" is domineering, cruel and ruthless, while "white" is innocent and innocent. Black and white are inseparable partners. Without any one person, they will be in a state of unbalanced madness. Hei thinks Baoding is his own city, steals, fights, robs, and acts recklessly in this city, while Bai just follows Black every day, turning a blind eye to all of Black's actions, talking to aliens every day, and the report is successful again today protect the peace of the earth. After all, Evil Boy is a movie with a fairy tale color. The protagonist represents the dark side of the human heart. He exists to protect the city and people he loves. Just like Grandpa said, "This city is not suitable for people without vigilance. Survive with people who don't have bad water in their brains, Hei, if it weren't for you, Bai would have died long ago." Bai, on the other hand, used his innocence to protect Hei's conscience and prevent the appearance of "Itachi". When he and Hei robbed and robbed together, Pure White just thought it was a game and thought it was fun. When Hei was cut off because of Vanilla's ear and felt that his city was violated, he went to Kimura to seek revenge, and Shiro pretended to fall asleep. He looked sadly at the back of Hei who left. Bai knows very well that in this city full of sins and lies, only "black" exists, so that he can survive. When the city faces a greater crisis, to protect the city and protect himself, only "black" can't protect anything. , "Black" is just a child, with limited power, in the face of a powerful enemy, he can only rely on the completely dark "Itachi" in his heart to save himself. Bai may have foreseen the direction of things early, and he is full of despair for such a city and such himself, so he has been dreaming beautiful dreams to escape the cruel reality. When Hei did bad things, he prayed to God for forgiveness but he couldn't stop the next thing from happening. Bai said that the night is so dark and so dark that it makes people feel sad because of the thought of death. This represents our instinctive fear of death, and it is precisely because of this fear that we allow our "black" to act recklessly in the city. We who live in the city wear different masks, tell a lot of lies every day, and have different The desire to stop expanding and the feelings of indifference have become increasingly indifferent, and the child called "Black" in the heart has grown bigger and bigger, and the destructive power has become more and more powerful. Hei said, this is my city, so I began to not be satisfied with just being like a movie. At the beginning, it was just a fight for territory with the children, and turned to the gang to challenge. While "white" enjoys the happy time brought by "black", he also despairs of a city that cannot survive without black. In the pursuit of the killing trio, Shiro's desperation broke out. When he poured gasoline on the "cosmos" from the roof, Hei was still in the hands of the cosmos, and finally Hei himself broke free from the cosmos. Bai murmured to himself that it would be good to burn all such cities, even Black. At this time, Bai was already in a chaotic stage. He also finally realized that he was too weak to protect Shiro and handed him over to the police station. Kuro, who has no Shiro by his side, lost himself at the same time, and became Itachi who gave up love and only believed in violence. Just like what Bai said, God has done a lot of bad things. Black has the screws that Bai lacks, and Bai holds all the screws that Black lacks. In this city where the weak eats the weak, Bai’s fragility and weakness always cry in winter. The strength of the black, who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, supports each other, is balanced and inseparable.
The most impressive character in the movie should be the mouse, the mouse is a real "adult" incarnation, he learned to gamble, drink, smoke, make money and women in the city. These things that are often considered to be in the adult world flood us little by little as we grow up, leaving no choice. Time extends vertically, we want to create a wide horizontal world at a certain point in time, and the people around us are crowding and walking forward, making us unable to stay and forced to move forward. Memories are cruel and beautiful, and those who cannot accept change will eventually be killed by memories. Therefore, it was not Kimura who killed the rat in the end, but the rat who could not adapt to the changes in the city and chose to die. Although the mouse is the leader of the gang, the "blackness" of the mouse has long been melted in the deep affection for the city of Takamachi.
As grandpa said, there is no room for tears and no time for depression, otherwise, it will be killed by this city.
Another main thread running through the film is "love". This unavoidable theme. At the beginning of the movie, the mouse asked Kimura, do you believe in divination? Kimura said, I don't believe anything. The rat smiles, but believe in love. The bond between black and white in the movie, the mouse's love for the city and the bond between Kimura and Kimura, and Kimura's love for his family, even at the end of the film, Black chose White and abandoned Itachi because of the "love" in his heart. These all seem to imply that only love can save this indifferent and filthy world and complete the redemption of the heart.
The happy ending of the blue sea and blue sky at the end of the film, I don't know why many people will be very disdain when they see the happy ending. It is better to leave some hope for yourself in life, after all, it is still a fairy tale.
Most of us in reality are tired of taking care of the two urchins "black" and "white" in our hearts, are full of fear of death, hate changing things, feel sad at night, and occasionally do a story about apples tree dream. Perhaps our biggest desire is to want life to develop into what we want according to our own will, so we are covered in blood in the real pursuit.
The city does not belong to anyone, and life does not belong to anyone. If you want your own documentary, then choose a seaside far away from the city and away from the crowd, and face the sea every day when spring flowers bloom, otherwise it is easy to get lost in your own desires. Don't forget, our "black" and "white" are just two children.
Bai said to the first "spaceman" who chased him, "Hey, I had a dream about the ocean, the sky, the forest, the wind, the dream." That's a dream I often have, Seems like that's all there is to it, and that's never going to change.
Remember to go back and water the apple tree when you're depressed, maybe it's already sprouting, when we forget.
PS: I still love it after re-reading it. I babbled in the afternoon and actually created something that can be called a movie review. Fortunately, I still remember the lines clearly. In fact, my favorite is the style of painting. When I watch it, I really want to stuff myself into the computer screen.
