One of them is "Kids Return" by Takeshi Kitano. The Chinese name is "Bad Child's Sky". This is the best youth movie I have ever seen.
"Guling Street Juvenile Murder Incident" is too cruel, too realistic, and too huge. In addition to youth, it also carries too many things that I can’t understand; and "Sunny Day" is too primitive and somewhat hypocritical, I don’t like it. As for the other films about youth, they are either impure or not worth mentioning.
Only this "Bad Child's Sky" is not about destruction, not about cruelty, not about inspiration, not about ideals, not about worldly affairs, not about love... It's just a film about youth, youth and time.
The female characters in the film are missing, so the youth here is not driven by libido; there is no parental role in the whole film, so the generation gap and the vicissitudes of the father’s generation are also unrepresented; there is no such thing as "love brothers or love brothers". "Love gold" questioning and vows, the friendship between Xiao Ma and Xinzhi has no words, and there is no vigorous action, but it is light and evocative; there is no such youthful spirit for the dream of lying salary, Xinzhi gave up very much. With a gifted boxing career and door-to-door delivery of goods, Xiao Ma finally did not become the eldest brother of the beautiful underworld and had to work hard to find a job.
At the end, Xinzhi and Xiao Ma still rode their bicycles on the school playground during class time, so there was a dialogue like "Are there any bastards like us?" "No way. "Are we finished?" "Fool, haven't started yet."
This reminds me of another conversation, "I'm so unwilling, it seems that this holiday is just running around, doing nothing, nothing Stay." "But there is always something to stay, and what is left, we will become what kind of adults." This dialogue comes from another youth film "Blue Gate", yes, how to put it Forget, it is also a very pure and pure film, with bright colors and beautiful composition, but the color of "Blue Door" is like a photo of LOMO, and "Bad Boy's Sky" is like adding a filter Mirror, gray and beautiful.
Every one of us has never been such a bastard. Looking back at youth, meaningless things always account for most of it. Youth is used to squander, otherwise it is not worthy of being called youth. Why do we not stay? , And in fact, there is always something left, so we become the people we are now.
