Up to four hours, divided into three days to read, now let's talk about the feeling. I want to talk about three aspects, identity, self-belonging and the collapse of idealism.
1. Identity. In that era, regional identities were mixed, and people with different accents tried their best to find their own identity in this place. Adults are still like you and me, and I don’t blame children for forming gangs. This is due to the sense of security that cannot be given in a different place, and it is also a sense of the times that has no choice but to try to escape (Xiao Ming’s identity, little doctor, Hani, pony, little four)
2. Belonging to oneself. Regarding the self-attribution of various gangs, the film expresses it very clearly, that is, nakedness, assassination, open killing, mutual benefit, full of swear words, arming yourself with these, in fact, in the end, you just did not find your own belonging, and tried to use force or power. Armed with his appearance, and in this unbearable darkness, Xiao Si's independence is particularly precious, but when Haney is gone, Xiao Si's self-attribution becomes Haney, and he becomes another Haney, which means The Beginning of the Fall, and the Ascension of Idealism (War and Peace)
3. The collapse of idealism. Do you talk about friendship in the adult world? I think there is, but only under the same status are they qualified to talk about "love". The life-saving grace mentioned by the owner of the grocery store when he was rescued is the embodiment of this point of view, but it is really entirely based on love. Impossible, in a chaotic world, being alone is great. And Hani, Xiao Si and even Xiao Ma all paid the price of the collapse of the ideal world because of their impulse to reality. What is the blame for this? In fact, it is not only a sense of suffocation in a chaotic world, but also a failure of excessive protection in a patriarchal society. Xiaoma's father has the right, and his son can do whatever he wants, but he has lost a real friend. It is upright and upright, but after all, it is still defeated by the nihilistic "love". Looking at Haney again, he is upright, and he turns a blind eye to all the darkness around him. It is not difficult to speculate that he is also an externalized expression of the patriarchal society. After all, the navy cap is also a symbol of male rights.
These three are closely related. Only with identity can we have a sense of belonging, only when we return to our roots can we seek development, and only when idealism can have reality as a fulcrum can it be realized without any scruples. But it really came true, Xiao Ming's belonging may be different again, independent women (like Xiao Cui) may become stronger and stronger in this world, just like now...
