KIDS RETURN

Yes, we haven't started yet.
Just because we are still young?

--The inscription

is the film I watched yesterday, but I write down my feelings today.
My feelings have always been postponed. When it happened, I didn't feel it. After a long time, it began to settle a little bit and ferment a little bit.
I realized it later.

I stand here and watch, watching violence and cruelty, temptation and stupidity, defection and submission, despair and hope.
Xinzhi and Xiaoma were joking on the playground on their bicycles, their faces were scarred.
Life is not over yet.

The topic is the sky of bad kids.
In fact, Xiaoma and Xinzhi are not that bad.
Although they play
pranks, blackmail classmates, watch adult movies, and peek at other people's love letters, they rarely go to class,
do not seek to be motivated, and have no future.
In fact, they are overwhelmed because they can't find a direction, hoping to find some fun to make themselves happy.

The brightest sunshine + the most free youth; the
most violent boxing + the darkest underworld. . .

The world is for adults, not for youth. Therefore, they are fighting.

And the outside world has always come to teach youth fanatics. Almost at the same time, the two of them were beaten by iron fists or equipment, and their youth dreams were shattered.

The ignorant young people, in the adult world, bumped into the barriers of the rules everywhere, and broke their heads.

But in such a world, among these bad boys, I feel a kind of gentle power.

Behind the fierceness is a tender heart-Xiao Ma is fierce in front of others, but he is caring and caring for
Xinzhi's silent kindness contains power-Although Xinzhi is seldom speaking, he can fight back against

friendship when he is bullied . strength
Maybe friendship means that the other's existence is the meaning of one's own existence.

But these friendships will even go beyond common sense, and they will last forever and be new, weak and moving as the years go by.
Only men can have such friendship, I am envious.

The road of youth is always twists and turns, but his end is the same.
Everything we do is for our maturity. Dreams are blocked or even shattered by other things. People gradually calm down from impulse, and become pragmatic. . .

Xinzhi said: "Little Ma, are we finished?"
Xiao Ma said: "Idiot, it hasn't started yet."
This ending is perfect, at least beautiful, without tearing up the beautiful youth, because of the passing of youth What brings is maturity.
Looking at the stills of the last two riding bicycles on the playground, the eyes of the two are melancholy, calm, and there is a glimmer of hope.

KIDS RETURN.

    Not as good as imagined, a period of rebellious youth is a bit painless and tepid. Although he understands what he wants to say about youth and loss, it is not profound. The final conclusion says that youth has just begun-inexplicably, I didn't see it.

    Only after watching "Bad Boy's Sky" do you understand why Kitano took part in "Xiao Wu" and Jia Zhangke. Before entering society, to be precise, before having a career, children are all the same. Kitano's autobiographical work satirizes education in the form of his familiar "manual talent", and at the same time questioned the secular moral concept of "grouping people by group". The two "bad boys" who escaped from the classroom are both saboteurs in the education system and legislators on the art stage: they emphasize order while ignoring order. In Kitano's view, the pros and cons of education are obvious. The bad side is that the norms take away human nature and possibilities; the good side is that the disciplines can prevent you from going astray. In the Shura Field, which is countless times larger than the school, all industries teach you to foul within the rules, and those who don't adapt can only be eliminated. Destiny is as problematic, and the children in class are confused and at a loss. Who doesn't yearn for a free playground? Who doesn't expect a different ending to his story? Therefore, just like "Guessing the Train" in 2009, this is ultimately a movie about choice.
