The beginning of the film is a few obvious running shots of "problematic youths", and then there is a long and incisive narrative of the protagonist in my opinion. It is a series of parallelisms starting with "choose" "choose life, choose work" Choose a career, choose a family. Choose a fucking big TV. Choose a washing machine, a car, a laser player, an electric can opener. Choose a healthy, low-caliber, low-sugar. Choose a fixed-rate mortgage. Choose a starting point, choose a friend, Choose sportswear and suitcases...", the protagonist Mike considers us to be legitimate, and the life we take for granted is embodied in trivial, boring fragments. This is undoubtedly a depressing life, a kind of depressing life. Unable to live voluntarily, so Mike decided "but what should I do? I choose not to live, I choose other." But his choice is heroin, and said, "the reason? There is no reason. As long as there is heroin, but also What's the reason?" So he and his friends and friends staged a period of indulgent youth for us.
Heroin, alcoholism, robbery, fighting, sex, this is their youthful life, they indulge and experience the pleasure and pain in it. This film is full of psychedelic colors, especially the scene where Mike gets into the toilet. I thought that such an absurd scene would end with the protagonist waking up from his dream, but the director let it pass naturally. This psychedelic and The interweaving of reality is surprising. In fact, the scene seems to have some kind of foretelling that Mike enters a "Scotland's worst toilet" and then falls into a dirty toilet, but there is a psychedelic and even beautiful underwater world under the toilet. Perhaps under the so-called filthy things in this world, there are things that are magical and wonderful to another group of people. For Mike and others, heroin is such a contradictory item. In the film, Mike He praised the beauty of heroin, and tried his best to reflect the happiness that this white dirty thing brought him. However, the film even more reflected the pain that these white powders brought to him later. Heroin made him lose his sexual desire, made him addicted to the illusory pleasure and lost the ability to communicate with others; heroin made him almost overdose after a single overdose. Death; these men and women who were addicted to heroin had no time to take care of a baby born out of their rotten sex, and the baby died; heroin caused one of them to get sick and eventually died in pain; heroin caused them to be caught in robbery and jailed . Therefore, the indulgence of youth is always short-lived. Mike tried to quit drugs several times and tried to return to the mainstream life, but this is not the kind of "prodigal son's return to gold" story that we Chinese like. When he went home to detoxify, he saw in the psychedelic that the obviously deformed baby was slowly crawling towards him from the ceiling, with that terrifying cry, the kind of horrible cry that Mike made. The cry of heart palpitations seems to be an allusion to the youth of the unrestrained shape, and that indulgent youth is a kind of youth that makes people howl. When they are happy, they scream indiscriminately; when they are depressed, they scream hoarsely. Gradually, Mike seemed to be "regular". He was self-reliant. He and the little girl who had first met in a daze seemed to be serious in love. However, if the film ends here, then I can only say that this is another vulgar inspirational film. Slowly, Mike’s friends and foxes came into his life again. He couldn’t resist this. He slowly returned to the kind of life he had passed away. He tried to resist passively, but those former friends seemed like him. The shadow of the old indulgence of youth lingered beside him. Until the end, they made 16,000 pounds from a drug deal, as Mike said, "It felt right at that moment." Everyone is in an extreme After the excitement, they often quickly fall into a kind of silence. Just as Mike and their beloved heroin brought them, the money made Mike tired of that indulgent youth again. Therefore, he chose to betray, betrayed his friends, and betrayed the indulgence of youth he had been keen on. At the end of the film, he made a choice again. Ironically, he chose a lifestyle that he disdains for the opening of the film. Yes, rebellious youth is always short-lived. The hardcore members who have entered mainstream European and American societies have also taken to the streets to fight against war, alcoholism, rock and roll, and chaos. After youth, they still embarked on a mainstream social recognition. They re-do the things they once hated. This is irresistible reincarnation, and a few people can indulge rebellion to the end. Such people will only be marginalized and even punished by the mainstream society. Their lives can only be described as apostasy. If you still think that "apostasy" is cool when you are young, then maybe you don't think so when you reach middle age, and maybe you can't stand your children going away from the sect. Yes, we all have to surrender to the mainstream lifestyle. Even people who choose a lifestyle like drug abuse like Mike will finally say, "I can change, I want to reform", and finally a sunshine At the end of the movie, Mike walked in the sun with a sunny smile. He betrayed his friend, but it was a betrayal that made me very excited, perhaps because I am a Chinese who has been educated by the mainstream lifestyle after all. I am eager. I hope to see a young man of my age "reformed". road. Yes, we all have to surrender to the mainstream lifestyle.

Of course, my youth cannot be regarded as a kind of rebellious, indulgent youth. I always wanted to be a "good boy". During my adolescence, I didn't even wear a dress that made my parents thunderous, and didn't get one to make me. My parents worry about the head pose, let alone piercing the body, I study hard, I make progress every day, I struggled to university, and difficult to graduate, is it painful? It’s also painful and happy. Not many people are satisfied with their youth, such as Mike, his youth is also full of happiness, painful tension. Perhaps what we can do is not to explore the meaning of youth like masochism, but simply to remember, to recollect that period of youth, and then go on the road.
