Just because there is no place to stand, he doesn't get bored anywhere, and because there's nowhere to go, he can go anywhere, and he always travels under the stars, generally the ones in the west.
It's a "respectable" youth road movie with flashbacks. At the beginning of the story, Mike appeared in front of the camera in blood and shouted: "Chick", no one knows the meaning of these two words, maybe it is a noun, maybe it is a simple vocabulary.
Male No. 1 Mike is a teenager who dares to hate and love. He likes the beautiful class flower Tatyana but dare not approach it for a long time, just like Mike himself said, "Even if she has nothing to do with the whole thing, the most beautiful girl in the world is not with me. in the story". The repressed heart and youthful restlessness made Mike very uneasy, and the arrival of Chick changed Mike's life and the trajectory of his life like a catalyst.
Mike gave the gift bravely, and the stone in his heart seemed to fall. Whether or not Tatyana's opinion of him would change, he was no longer concerned. His father's affair, his mother's depression and this indifferent town make Mike determined to embark on an unknown end with Chick.
Unlike most road films, "Chick" doesn't end in the distance, it's an exploration of the character's heart. The roaring man in the high-speed fog, the angry farmer, the walking noble, the Friedman family and the scruffy little girl Isa. Growing up is like an adventure, two little boys grow rapidly in ignorant fights.
Like Chick's self-monologue in the film, Jewish gypsies from all over the world. This is Cheek's fabrication, just like Jia Baoyu's "A Comprehensive Examination of Ancient and Modern Characters", which is a kind of self-joking and a manifestation of a vague inner world outlook.
At first, Mike and Cheek were as indifferent to each other as Germany and Russia. In Mike's eyes, Mike was as annoying as Wagenbach (the class teacher).
Cheek's drunkenness reminds Mike of his mother every day, and they all drink for the same purpose, which is self-deception. Cheek's "special" is also closely related to the country of Russia. Many people are asking, what did Chick say to the classmates who bullied him? Conversation with reality Young people in Germany rarely talk about reality, which is markedly different from young people in Russia. Young Russians seem to have an extraordinary focus on political topics, and whenever they get together, the center of discussion is always Putin and Stalin. They are clearly not satisfied with the current political system and economic level. Many people recall the glory of the former Soviet Red Empire. Even in such a remote and inaccessible place in Siberia, in our temporary "canteen", the most eye-catching place on the front wall is a banner with a red sickle and hammer head, which reads: Greatness. Long live the Soviet Republic! So Cheek's brief shot back is conceivable.
There are also many details in the film that depict the differences between the two ethnic groups. The new generation of Germans are very independent, and if they can solve their own problems, they will never ask others for help. So when Chicla took Mike to the birthday party, Mike's resistance was fierce. Cultural differences, Germans do not like to let others help casually, once they accept it, they admit their weak position.
On the other hand, this film uses a lot of close-ups, panning shots, and inner monologues that make the whole film seem very compact. Of course, there are also movie episodes, such as: "Adelina by the Water", "Canned Tomatoes (Whole) - Courtney Barnett", "Out of The Black - Royal Blood", "Thomas Anders - Geginner feat. Megaloh", etc., Corresponding to each plot, with a link to organize it: "Chick" NetEase Cloud Playlist.
Of course, there is also a crucial character in the film: Issa. Issa is Mike's sexual initiation and the third woman he loves besides his mother, Tatyana. Issa's appearance is like Adilina by the water, and Mike's hazy sexuality begins to germinate for a while. At the age of fourteen or five, everyone will meet a woman who thinks they can go through life, and we are used to calling it "first love". Everything is so beautiful, even if it suddenly disappeared one day, it still can't be for a long time. Issa was used to being separated, and the bus to Prague pulled them further and further away. Youth seems to be stranded here, but we all know that for Mike, it's just the beginning.
"Chick" is so special, yet so evocative.
When saying goodbye, be sure to use a little force, say one more sentence, maybe it will be the last sentence; take one more look, if you can't fix it, it will be the last one; hold tight, it may be the last time.
We'll be dead in 100 years, let's meet here in 50 years
