This flashlight, stolen from the set, is the most important prop in the entire movie. The huge flashlight looks very incongruous in the hands of the tall and slender Xiao Si, which symbolizes that the 14-year-old Xiao Si has to face the arduous unknowns in life alone. And the picture illuminated by this flashlight is also the record of Xiao Si's growth process: the friend's face, the enemy's face, the diary written in the small closet, the first date with Xiao Ming on the set, the vendetta 217 The life and death of the eldest and his girlfriend... The taciturn and ignorant Xiao Si will only use his own eyes to recognize the world, and the moment he finally puts his phone back on the director's table on the set is the moment when his worldview is finalized: He wants to resist, he wants to change the world. He chose to pick up the short knife used for self-improvement, stabbed into the body of the girl he loved the most, and killed the other self who refused to be changed.
Xiao Ming is a microcosm of the military dependents' village (the village where the military and their dependents from the Chinese provinces arranged by the Nationalist government to relocate to Taiwan) - forced to leave their hometown, but then ignored and left to fend for themselves. However, when the youth of the military dependents village formed the 217 gang, she became the girlfriend of an outsider, which led to her being isolated by the military dependents village group; and her mother who depended on each other was frail and sickly, so she had to mature as soon as possible to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family, so she chose to rely on Those men who have the ability to protect themselves, the little park boss Hani, the ambitious slicker, the little doctor who helps his mother treat the disease, the rich and powerful pony... Even if others will look at her with colored glasses, they trade their feelings for survival The way to go down is his only way out. She doesn't care, she believes that the world cannot be changed. She thought that Xiao Si, who could not protect herself, loved her sincerely and selflessly. She thought he would understand her, but in the end she found out that he still wanted to change himself, and was finally stabbed to death by the man who wanted to change the world. Under the knife.
Father and Hani are the two people who influenced Xiao Si the most, and the fall of these two people also had a profound impact on Xiao Si's final journey into darkness. Xiao Si, who stubbornly admits to death, is completely a copy of his father. For the first time, the father was called to the teaching office and defended Xiao Si loudly, so that Xiao Si was recorded as a demerit. It was a bright day. He also supported Xiao Si and bravely pursued the truth of being a man. This seemed to light up a beacon for Xiao Si's dark life, giving him a direction to pursue; while his father was tortured into cowardice, Appears to be overly stressed. When he called to the Disciplinary Office for the second time, he no longer had the righteousness he had before, and began to bow his head and plead for mercy to the Disciplinary Director. Xiao Si, who saw everything in his eyes, finally could no longer accept it and shattered the light bulb in the office. ——The worldview that I had always believed in collapsed. It’s still the scene of the father and son pushing the cart back together, but the scene at this time is that in the dark night, the little four comforts the father, but the father doesn’t listen at all, and actually thinks about quitting smoking and giving the little four a pair of glasses.
Hani, who is dressed in naval attire and likes "War and Peace", is completely a symbol of personal heroism. Xiao Ming once said to Xiao Si, "Hani is just like you, everyone is afraid of him, and afraid to death. In fact, no one knows. , he is the most honest man." Hani's little four is like old friends at first sight. The world in his eyes is idealized. It is a world of martial arts where one person can use his sword to change the world. Hani's worldview deeply attracts little four. Haney really did what he wanted. During the national anthem, he walked through the standing crowd and singled out 217 people. How romantic, and then the reality was cruel. The samurai sword in the middle was pushed under the rolling wheels by Shandong. Hani's death was unacceptable to Xiaosi. He fought for the first time for Hani, and even participated in the massacre to avenge Hani. In Xiaosi's heart, he was the next Hani, shouldering the task of changing the world and Xiaoming.
