Therefore, this film asks us, first, to be vigilant against the corruption of capitalist life on young people; second, to prevent the spread of obscenity by U.S. imperialism to poison the future of the motherland; third, to put an end to puppy love.
I saw a short comment that said: I despise these gangsters from the bottom of my heart, this is how your sister's youth is.
There are also short reviews that use a very painful sentence: Youth. juvenile. indulge. asphyxia. die.
Therefore, I am firmly opposed to classifying this film as a "youth film". "I Heard" and "Blue Door" are also youth films. Can they be the same?
If I could create a new category, I'd like to call it "Social Pieces". How good it is that a vague name can cover everything, just like the movie itself: social stratification, groups, teenagers, family ethics, identity... You seem to feel like you are completely in Taiwan 50 years ago, Listening to the people around you use Sichuan, Shanghai, Cantonese to miss your hometown, show your prestige or lose your temper. So where are they from? After 8 years of fighting with the Japanese, I ended up living in a Japanese house and listening to Japanese and American songs. Old friends speak Shanghainese when they get together, Mandarin at home, and Cantonese when they get angry with their wife. There is no hope of counter-attacking the mainland. A small civil servant has to be tricked by others, and then experience a white terror. For these provincials, what exactly is Benedict's so-called imagined community?
I remember that "City of Sadness" also expressed a similar theme, but from the perspective of Taiwanese, from the Qing Dynasty to the Japanese, and then from the Japanese to the Kuomintang, what are the people of Taiwan in the province? I wonder if another 20 years have passed, has the identity problem of the Taiwan compatriots been resolved?
The parents are busy struggling and confused, and the children have no identity. Yang Dechang also attributed the formation of these social gangs to the lack of a sense of belonging and identity in the subtitles. So the classmate who said that he despised the gangsters, indeed, your younger sister, who lacked a sense of identity, was like this. Only then will we form gangs, we will have brotherhood and loyalty, and we will learn the old bag in "War and Peace". Everyone else has fled, but he is alone to block Napoleon. In this regard, "Guling Street" is a hundred times better than "Monga". It does not sell rotten or cute, and it does not put the word "loyalty" in its mouth and spit it out from time to time, tragically and tragically. Those who rushed to the crown and angered their faces, those hormone-detonated slaps at the table, can you say that they are all crazy, stupid and mindless? If you can't protect your own girl, you can't protect your brother, what else can you do as a man. Can you not rush to the crown and not make a case?
My bad youth complex, instead of making me "despise them from the bottom of my heart", I feel that most of them are outspoken, cheerful and simple. When I see movies about bad teenagers, I also think of those I know. I wonder if they are filled with idealism like the Zhang Zhens in these movies when they fight, take revenge, and splash paint.
In the final analysis, puppy love is indeed dangerous, and this woman, Xiao Ming, is really just a broken shoe.
You think you can change the world, don't you know, the world won't change.
Yes, the arrogant boys in those days will eventually be tamed by this world. Just like the text message from Jun Huojun in the third year of high school: I originally wanted to have Aqing's right hand fractured so that he could take the college entrance examination next year, but most of the buddies who were mixed in the past are now working, and I just want to think about it. Peaceful days, do not want to do anything, I did not expect that people will grow old so fast.
Who said it wasn't. What struggle, loss, confrontation, cruel youth, will disappear or come to an abrupt end, waiting for you, always be tamed.
