In a small Internet cafe, I finished watching this movie about youth.
The film is dull, with little language and low background music. People all think and speak in a low environment. And the protagonist has no name. They face confusion and ideals alone. It was dull, but the audience watched all the plots in a dull atmosphere and felt the hidden surging and passion, and also felt the shadow of the protagonist.
The film is about the contradictions of the seventeen-year-old: hesitation, love, life, ideals, understanding of reality, ambiguity of social rules, and resolution of conflicts of interest. Everyone will find their own shadow floating in it, those youthful years floating in, those hasty memories floating in. In order to get the simple ideal of a bicycle, we strive to achieve it, in a way that we determine. Then solve problems and disputes in our way, two seventeen-year-olds from different places and different ways to achieve their same ideals. At the same time, love and reality, showing off and growing up, we must all face it seriously. And the allure of the city, the understanding of the adult world. All these make us surging under the appearance of silence, and the surging of youth is restrained by us. And an adult, like the boss of that company, just used the phrase "I rely on me" to express his surprise at our dedication to our ideals.
Only the sadness has been spreading with the plot and quietly dissipating in the bottom of my heart. Below those dull pictures, youth is constantly surging. Everyone remembers those secret passions when they were seventeen years old, the hesitant steps between impulse and reason, and the attitude of compromising between reality and ideals. At the age of seventeen, we solve our own problems with simple methods, measure what is wrong and what is right, and measure maturity and naivety by our own standards. I will never forget those bland images, city student Jian and his father quarreling, while rural child Gui silently pushes away the bicycle; Jian picks up bricks and slowly follows the female classmates and youth; Gui holds the bicycle tightly Howling among a large group of students such as Jian; Jian and Gui are constantly riding bicycles or running with their feet. These pictures are the powerful testimony of the film about youth.
Youth is running and hesitating, passion sometimes overcomes reason, and loneliness can be seen everywhere. Jian finally smashed a brick into the young man's head, while Gui was brooding about the babysitter, Jian was confused about his family, his father and two other unfamiliar family members, while Gui struggled to search for a bicycle, in the surging crowd. Sweat under the overpass. The disorderly appearance of these pictures expresses the same disorder and chaos as the bored youth, the continuation of the dullness, and the low crowding. There is also admiration for female classmates, hesitant and timid pursuit methods. Trying to suppress the impulse in our hearts, more things confuse us. Trivial ideals are firmly occupied in our hearts. This is our youth, and we use smoking and indifference to show maturity. And during this period of time, we just kept running, unbuttoning our clothes, and unscrupulously smiling like the boy in the advertisement or running in a hurry.
The film has been told in a low voice, the pursuit of the girl, the long shot of the fight appears. The children resolved conflicts of interest in their own way and owned a bicycle for a day. They exchange on time every day. And the last action of the city child reaching out is the voice of a lonely youth seeking help. In addition, we continue to see those old people watching peacefully while running. They calmly watch the farce of our youth without saying a word. Maybe they are missing their own youth, maybe they know that we will mature on our own, no need to remind, we will mature.
Finally, youth gradually drifted away in the fight, and pain inevitably occurred. After waking up, we begin to grow and begin to understand some laws of the world. We begin to know how small we are, to know the rules of the game for certain adults, to stand up, and to move on with life at the same time. It's just youth, the passion and impulse of youth, the hesitation and confusion of youth, the temptation and provocation of youth are gradually disappearing, leaving our bodies and our changing minds. Everything starts anew, and youth comes to an abrupt end.
Have you ever seen the figure of rural children walking slowly on the street at the end? That is when we mature, we take up our deformed ideals and continue to march in the vast sea of people.
