Italian country documentary style: "We grew up in a poor community in the countryside, dissecting our poetic childhood and exposing our internal organs to the air mixed with the rotten smell of the sewer. The community can't contain my fantasy of hers and me, we are in the mud the poet". Lena and I met in an elementary school class, and I envy her smartness, but she has a unique attraction to me, ticklish but inaccessible. The first official friendship between Lena and I was when she hit the boy who was bullying her with stones across the road, and I, as a clever and smart child in the eyes of adults, handed her the sharpest piece. She likes to be independent and has unique opinions on everything. She is stubborn and tenacious, like a grass rooted in the gutter. The balcony of the community is a "podium" for women to gossip. They straighten their backs and stick their backs on the balcony, their necks held high like a rooster crowing at a meal, but the only difference is that they are keen on a certain The family screamed when something went wrong. The husband of the woman, Menina, did not come back after going to work, and was taken back to the community as a body early the next morning. Lena told me that it was a gentleman named Archie who gave a man a loan shark, drained his blood, and the man couldn't pay it back, and Mr. Archie killed him. Everyone in the community knew that Mr. Achille was the murderer, but no one dared to question it, because the Achille family was the richest family in the community. Poverty holds everyone by the throat, keeping them from speaking. Lena hates Mr. Archiler. She deliberately provokes Mr. Archiler's son in the quiz competition, fights with boys who are very different from her in the street, and actively blackmails Mr. Archiler... I have witnessed these things with my own eyes, Lina is like a little beast with sharpened canine teeth and claws, constantly fighting against the unchangeable social reality. She is unwilling to be defeated, and she is more and more courageous, and I am always willing to be her backing. The craziest thing we've ever done is, as the two best students in the class, skipping class to see the sea without permission. Lena who came up with the idea was also Lena who regretted it in the middle. I was like an asteroid revolving around her, silently following her footsteps. When our relationship cracked, it was my father who supported me in middle school, but she stayed in a shoe store because of poverty. She had fought her father, but nothing changed except the screams and beatings that filled the community. Mr. Archiler was dead, Lena told me "The killer took a dagger and stabbed it hard into the side of Mr. Archiler's neck, between the chin and the collarbone, the artery burst, blood splattered, and the pendulum clock was A straight black bar was left on the dial of the bell, glowing with a faint red light." The innocent poor were killed. Sent to prison as a murderer, and with Mr. Archiler's death, our childhood came to an end. "My Brilliant Girlfriend" is the most authentic portrayal of the impoverished countryside in Italy in the 1990s. The "me" Elena and "genius girlfriend" Lena in the play are good friends. In the episode of going to junior high school in the play, Elena was supported by her father and went to junior high school. But in real life, most of the poor rural children end up like Lina, forced to give up their studies and work for their parents. And the brightest student in Lena's school, this ending is even more cruel in reality. The childhood life in the early stage of the play mainly revolves around "poverty", and in the later adolescence, it is also closely related to the "gap between the rich and the poor". "Poverty" is an eternal topic in most of the Italian countryside. The "class contradictions" caused by the "gap between the rich and the poor" are passed down from generation to generation. In this play, the director shows the contradictions in the community through the eyes of two little girls. Including the different endings of the two girls in education, the word "money" was withdrawn. As an important role in the early stage, "Mr. Alage" has very few scenes, and the main plots about him are told through Lena's mouth. My favorite episode about Mr. Archie is the one at the church door. All the people in the community were praying in the church, and several people frequently looked at the carpenter in the last row, but the carpenter did not know it, creating a tense atmosphere for the church. Then I saw the carpenter being thrown out of the church by the collar. Accompanied by the screams and begging of his wife and daughter, the people in the church fled from the original daring to move. The audience followed Elle closely. From Na's point of view, she witnessed the scene of the carpenter being beaten, and the last shot was aimed at the back of Mr. Achille driving away. Mr. Achille did not show up throughout the whole process, but caused panic to the masses and the audience. This sense of oppression and the powerlessness of the masses to witness the atrocities in the street but dare not speak out is exactly what the director wants to convey to the audience. The various atrocities of Mr. Achille gave Lena a reasonable motive to hate him, and also paved the way for the ending of his counter-killing. The audience gradually entered the situation of the poor in the community and understood the behavior of the protagonist. In Elena and Lena's friendship, it seems that Lena has always been in a dominant position, and Elena has always been the loyal follower. What Lena brings to Elena is never just surprises and wonderful adventures, but the kind of "wildness" that is not to be outdone, brave and daring, and which is a quality that Elena, who was well-behaved and sensible since childhood, did not have. Under the leadership of Lena, Elena gradually became brave to try, and gradually developed unique insights and ideas, which also had a huge impact on Elena's youth, and also It is an awakening of the consciousness of "women's independence". The two are the best students in the eyes of the teacher. Under the friendship, there is another kind of emotional "competition". Lena is always able to learn new knowledge one step ahead of Elena. This kind of stimulation also gives Elena infinite motivation. The two can always learn from each other under healthy competition and make progress together. This is also the friendship between the two. A necessary factor for why it can last. For me personally, Elena's dedication to friendship is more valuable than Lena's. By your side, is there such a friend who accompanies you on your journey, and walks far and far with you silently. When you feel homesick, you can still helplessly look at your far-away back. Chase up without regret.
