Breaking away

This is youth. When you fall into a stable environment, you will never think about change. You just remember the past time over and over again, even if time has passed, and you have stepped into the turning point of your life. Haha, how stubborn we are at this time, looking back on the past, unwilling to change, just like Mike in the film, still looking back on the past, hoping to keep the original state and maintain their most brilliant and worry-free days of youth. But ah, time is always forward, setbacks and challenges will follow; of course, it is not just bad, opportunities, and even love will follow. When all these are mixed in your life, collide and at the same time you are also dissatisfied with who you are now, it's time to break away! Say goodbye to yesterday, I like this translated name very much, because it gives me a feeling that I want to open another page in my life (my life is terrible, I need to change it too much). Some of the protagonists in the film have encountered love, some have encountered challenges, and some are still confused and seeking recognition: Haha, Dave is a bit pitiful. At the beginning, he had love and his own ideals, but then his ideals were worshipped. The object of love broke with his own hands, and his love was also broken by his own lies. Dave, who has always been strong and optimistic among the four, also had to cry in his father's arms like a child, but fortunately the gap between father and son began to melt. Every story has its climax, just like our youth: the four "stone masons" in the small town also ushered in their climax: a game to prove themselves. Hard work will always be rewarded, not to mention that they still have real strength. The strong, low self-esteem, they have been working hard. Together, they have overcome a major challenge in life. Four good friends walked to the podium amid the high music and the cheers of the crowd, enjoying the moment that belonged to them. Dave, Mike, Muzi, and Cyril have obtained the proof and glory they have long desired. At the same time, they also bid farewell to yesterday and embarked on a new journey in life. Sometimes, when life is terrible, and you want a new start, you can’t dream about it, how to do it? I tell you, put your middle finger on the things that upset you, and tell yourself: fuck it, let's break away!
