Danny Boyle, who has filmed the 90s Cult film [Trainspotting], now looks at the rapidly changing world through the eyes of a child, a society that worships money and faces a harmonious Europe. I remember Danny Boyle's previous works [The Beach] and [28 days later] respectively told the fables of anarchy and chaos in the form of a paradise and a plague disaster. This time, [Hundreds of Millions of Teens] told a young man's accident through a train robbery.

Next to the train tracks, not Mr. Yi Yun, who ran away from home, nor Leonardo, who traveled alone, the teenager Diwen built a small cave with cardboard boxes next to his new house. He didn't know much about the world, nor did he know Why do people always pursue money so much, and there are millions of dollars in robbery every day, he thinks, it is God who distributes it to the poor to make people live well, he believes: this is a miracle.

The story extends to the problems faced by the British society under European unification (not only in the British), the world is dangerous, even with innocent and kind hearts, it is not uncommon to do bad things with good intentions in this evil society. Is poverty alleviation pure and rich for the people? Miracle/God Deeds have a reason, and unearned greed is sometimes worse than poverty. The story uses "five loaves and two fish" as an example, trying to reveal the infidelity to miracles. Only good-heartedness is not enough to perform miracles. Wisdom, dedication, trust, and unity are all the power of practice.

Although Danny Boyle has always used satirical fables to express his concern for society and the world, this time he was really suffocated by the home video-like picture (or prejudice, because he didn't like this kind of bright and miscellaneous film tones). This is probably Danny Boyle's most popular film for children, I think I lack that childlike innocence, and, also, because I'm too discouraged about the current real world, so when the protagonist fights the bad thief, I think of [home alone], in the crowd While rushing to the bank to exchange money, I remembered watching...

It's all innocuous deviations.

Mr. Yiwan's choice, the subtext is "the road is made by people", to the happy island of Leonardo and the military regime of [28 days later], people are so free and not free, [millions] are so broad, like teenagers The galaxy above the head, full of unknowns, is left to practice.
