squandered youth is likely to bloom poisonous flowers, and when it comes to partnering to bully the weak, youth appears proactive. The Mexican film "After Lucia (After Lucia) )” leads the audience to watch a series of bullying incidents on campus in a calm to quiet way.
Undoubtedly, Michelle Frank, the director and screenwriter of the film, brought a film with a depressing tone. He observed sharply with a fixed-position long lens, and watched carefully with the depth of the extended space. The excellent use of light is used to perceive relentlessly, but it is rarely expressed in the subjective attitude of the creator. It seems that the life of the person in the film has no thoughts, only the form of expression, allowing events to happen recklessly, develop out of control, and sometimes use it. The method of hiding the first scene of the incident made the audiovisual anxious, making all the emotions of watching the movie seem to be trapped in a depressed jar, making the violent conflict burst and collapse in imagination, and at the same time, after abandoning the rendering of the soundtrack On the contrary, the quiet and stern picture adds to the tension of the performance. The first half of the film is slightly loose and random. After the incident, the rhythm is obviously appropriate, and the tension of the film is mainly reflected in the second half.
After a series of bullying incidents happened, Alejandra, a girl, could only live in numbness in a way that she could not tell her silently. Although the school at that time was hell for her, she still went to school "on time". Many viewers questioned her cowardice, thinking that she was different from her previous character. This is actually one of the main creative’s manifestations of understanding the psychology of adolescence. Perhaps among the adolescents who are bullied, those with extreme personalities will choose to commit suicide in order to get rid of them. The condition will be transferred as soon as possible to avoid the limelight, but these two roads are not working for Alejandra. After the death of her mother Lucia, her father took her to this strange city, and just transferred to the current one that has gradually frightened her. Not long after school, the grief of being separated from his lover made his father Roberto not relieved. He could not bear more, otherwise he would go crazy, and his father's final explosion also showed this. In addition, Alejandra's non-resistance is also based on the understanding of her so-called classmates, because resistance will bring more and more harm. Perhaps, she is ashamed of her previous behavior and has shortcomings in the hands of others. Only silence is controlled by others, so that it becomes more and more numb.
People's practice of attacking the so-called tainted and weak groups in groups seems to be a form of conformity in human nature. Only by humiliating individual people can the bullies feel that they are indistinguishable from everyone else. The important party. This kind of herd mentality is especially obvious in the adolescence. On the one hand, they are eager to express that they are a member of the public, on the other hand, they want to show that they are unique and unique, but in the film they embodies this uniqueness and uniqueness. In a variety of ways of bullying. Adult bullying may tend to make people feel ashamed and depressed mentally, while bullying by half-year-olds and half-eldest girls in adolescence is mentally and physically violent. Excess hormones and unstable emotions make people feel ashamed and depressed. They are often out of control, out of balance and out of state.
Usually in campus violent bullying incidents, the parents of the bullied are the last to know about it. This is probably related to the fact that the campus is a community belonging to students, where there are rules, like a self-contained society. The film seems to be working hard to build a community formed by students. The structure of the story is focused on the students. The events in the film do not involve the school too much. Things happen outside the teacher’s sight. In such a small town. In the system, everything is staged in turn as if digested internally, arranged in an orderly manner and becoming more and more intense.
At first, when she first arrived in a new environment, her daughter seemed to have to adapt much more than her father was indifferent to work and absent-minded. She soon made new friends. Everything seemed to be developing for the better, but the psychology of adolescence was subtle. The impermanence of Alejandra approached menopause. The leak of the video made Alejandra a target. Many young people needed a striking target to vent their restless youth. Alejandra happened to be that target unknowingly at the wrong time. After that, boys were right. She has lost the most basic respect, and the girls' psychology is relatively complicated, some are jealous (as if to steal their favorite objects), some are contemptuous, and some are both.
Albert Einstein said: "We cannot despair of human nature, because we are human beings." Sometimes, looking at the behavior of the growing generation, I feel speechless.
