I don't like watching this kind of movies very much, the bad guys are in charge.
There are two types of movies in which bad guys are in charge. One is like the City of God and Infernal Affairs. In a world where bad guys are rampant, a bad guy has defeated all the bad guys. It is pure evil.
The other is that good people are bullied by bad people, but bad people go unpunished, and good people have nowhere to complain.
The former is exhilarating, the latter is heart-wrenching.
Bomb City, adapted from a true story, belongs to the latter.
The film tells a very simple story. A group of American-style good students who are preparing to go to college and another group of punk teenagers who have stopped going to school and engage in alternative music had a fight. A punk teenager was accidentally killed by a good student.
The story is so simple, how can it be so well done?
Bomb City's answer is more about the punk's life.
It is even more prominent in the final powerlessness.
The punk boy likes music and has always wanted to start a big band: his usual job is to make street signs for the town. And this punk doesn't just want to make money to support his music, he wants to make each street sign unique, and finally make the town the largest museum in the world, in fact, the street signs he made are still Can be seen in town.
Is it just because it's punk, so damn it?
After watching the video, this is the biggest question that left me.
In the last part of the film, the lawyer takes out the relics of the punk boy one by one, trying to prove that this is a punk boy, so as to prove that this friend is a kind of violence and social worm, and the murderer does not need to bear it. in conclusion.
This reminds me of a piece of news from the previous paragraph, where the defendant's mother tried to lighten the defendant's weight with the testimony that the defendant was a good student in the school's eyes.
The two are the same, shouldn't the judgment be made on whether he did or did not do it? Shouldn't it be from what he shouldn't and should be on?
The whole film seems to have no focus, whether it is the description of the punk group, or the portrayal of the friend boy, the battle between the two groups, or the final conviction in court.
As a result, after watching the film, it was even a little dull. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that this blandness is deeply powerless.
Powerlessness against the prejudices inherent in human beings themselves.
