It’s the school violence that gives you empathy, not this movie

This article has been written for more than a year, and the score of the film at the time was 8.7 points. As far as the version I saw in the theater, to be honest, it was really not worth it. Watching movies is a personal subjective feeling. Everyone has the right to express their own opinions. I can’t change my name to God just because it’s nominated by Oscars now. Everyone can object, but please help your children and grandchildren, maintain your quality, and don't make extreme remarks under the comments. Especially some curse words, after all, it is disgraceful to be hung up by me for everyone to admire.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The score of the film so far is 8.7, but I believe that more than one person thinks it is not worth this point.

The film uses campus violence as the topic, which is relatively novel and in line with the current campus problems. However, school violence only appeared in the first half of the film, and basically a criminal case was played in the second half. Except for the footage and sound system that reminded me that this was a film, I almost thought I was watching a French program.

The feature of the film is that the length of the lens is very short, with a lot of close-ups. As a result, the movie became more and more rushed, and in the end it basically became a flash, and the ending was flabbergasted. If I didn't know that Chen Nian had surrendered through the last words typed on the screen, I couldn't figure out what happened. It would be more clouded and misty than listening to the teacher's ppt in class.

And I don’t know where the focus of the movie is. It is said that it is a romance movie but not a romance movie. It is said that it is a campus violence that bullies others and was killed. It is said that it is a criminal investigation movie but not a criminal investigation movie. Let’s talk about exploring human nature... the heroine took the 632 exam and turned herself in. This was a very tangled thing, but because Zhou Dongyu cried too much in the film, it directly weakened her emotions in this period. I simply agreed to the police to surrender. It was not an exposition of human nature at all.

There are also bugs in the film. Chen Nian put the mineral water bottle on the table during the college entrance examination and unscrewed it to drink. You must know that the mineral water bottle cannot be placed on the table during the college entrance examination.

In some places, the preaching is too strong. Huang Jueyan’s police officer is of little use. He basically preached a few times. The first time he ate hot pot, he said, "People grow up to learn to sympathize... (campus violence) is not just that simple." Yi Yang Qianxi's call to stop school violence.

The film is very detailed in portraying youth violence, but in other aspects of the film, it is concealed and ambiguous. Vaguely explained that Wei Lai's family affected the police and the school, but did not explain that this is the dark side of society. The rights in the hands of some adults indirectly become a barrier that cannot be resolved by school violence.

I saw that the top few high praise comments of this movie talked about feelings about campus violence. Even if they combine their own experiences, they can only be regarded as afterthoughts and have nothing to do with the movie. I can only say that it is school violence that makes you empathize, not this film.

The director wanted to make the film well, but he was too deliberate. Too deliberate. The story that led to the film was not well told.

I saw the scene of Zhou Dongyu wearing prison uniform. But it flashed so fast, it made people feel like a cloud. Say I'm stupid, no matter how stupid I am, I won't be silly with you, that's it.
