Back to 30 years ago

Video not only has the function of recording time, it can also restore our memories. Today we first saw the objects and environment in 1985. Young people played rock and roll, skated, and were obsessed with cars. The so-called sense of science and technology is the heavy old machinery. People live in small towns, talk about hot relationships, families sit around to eat together, eager to show something in community activities, young people are quite brave, facing challenges and bravely responding. In the movie, a Libyan terrorist was arranged, and the Soviet guns were not good enough. You can see the Americans' understanding of the world at that time.

Later, the doctor recalled on the main square in 1955, when the square was still a piece of farmland. I think this huge change brings people the same feelings, and modern people will always experience similar things. But what I envy them is that the main buildings in the town are still there, and the election system continues. Of course, there have been drastic differences in the past 30 years. The farmer’s old wooden house has never seen a nuclear-proof jumpsuit. The orange down vest is described as a life jacket. The TV is still a strange thing. Children play skateboards with wooden handles. Of course, I have to use the mouth of the past to ridicule the present, a bit old-school view, can an actor be a president? It is said that "heavy" should be used seriously, and everything is heavy. Is there a problem with gravity?

I like this adventure story very much. You can meet the current mayor working in a small shop, you can meet young parents, but the young mother is obsessed with her own setting and I am a little bit resistant. Disrupting the past in this way, but also trying to restore the past (make parents love each other as they should). In the end, his dad's hesitation came back, reminding me of Stephen Chow's back when he was talking about Journey to the West, and the part where he hugged Bai Jingjing and kissed. It was so romantic. When I was a kid, my favorite question when watching this kind of film was whether going back to the past would change the past. This time it changed the past and had an impact on the future, but in the end it was repaired. Not only that, it also changed the current life. Refreshing. But at the end came a complicated one. Two selves appeared in the same time and space, and I struggled for a while.

Of course it's not good to talk about it. The special effects are a bit poor. I can't accept the 1985 acting and line style (with a little ostentatious tone).

For me in 2021, a movie looks back on two years. I think the life in the 1980s in the play is a bit familiar. Many of our states and choices today (including those that I hate) seem to be based on. Once again, we confirm that we are living in these cultural inertias. I am skeptical of this inheritance of confidence. But I sometimes think of Luo Xiang's quote from Orwell from time to time in my mind: We always look for independent value and meaning, separated from the great heritage of mankind. Desire to enter a golden age. In the end, he fell into a cesspit. Those old men said that human beings have not made much progress in physiology, and that they still have three meals a day. Others said that children must try to play with fire...

Say something positive. The music playing style of the 1980s is exaggerated and the melody is crazy, but it is enough to be exciting. The bustling madness of that era was condensed in music, and those old young people always brag about how much the past is worth remembering. Our age also has very different styles of music. I wait until the listeners of these music get old before listening to them brag about this golden age to the young.
