Jiujo, a girly but cold boy. His pale face was always expressive, and his eyes were clouded with melancholy, unpredictable. In the rooftop courage test competition, he won the most clapping, won the awe of his peers, and was elected as the boss. Famous for being ruthless, he can twist off the bridge of his classmates' nose without blinking, and use his feet to press other people's faces onto the ground strewn with thumbtacks. When he does bad things, his expression is always blank and his eyes are blank, as if everything should be like this.
Aoki, Kujo's only friend. He values their friendship above anything else. I like to eat bento in history class, throw dumplings on the podium, and use rice grains to make saliva in front of sleeping classmates. He is a naughty child, pure in nature and not assertive, and will only follow Jiujoo in the world.
Yukino, a quiet boy with a handsome face, a peacemaker who likes to play classical guitar. He has a melancholy look similar to Kujo's, even more grim and eccentric because of the metal-rimmed glasses. When the teacher called him to the office, he asked him earnestly, "Young people should always have some ideals. Buy a house in the future. What do you want to do in the future?" The intentional answer, "Unrealistic dreams, world peace or something." He slowly made an Ultraman gesture to the teacher, making people laugh or cry.
This reminds me of my 16-year-old cousin, the same sullen and unsure look, the age at which it is impossible to give a satisfactory answer to anyone. Even if the adults were as young as him, even if the adults were very anxious about his current situation, he still needed time to grow up slowly.
Ota, the little guy who likes to unbutton his school uniform to reveal the big red T-shirt inside. It turned out that he followed Xue Nan, and then took refuge with the gangsters outside, and became arrogant in front of Xue Nan. A superficial slut who has become blindly confident due to lack of self-confidence.
Kimura, a former baseball varsity player with Koshien as his only dream. After losing the game, he lost his mind and lived by playing mahjong. After accepting the invitation of former baseball seniors, he left school and joined the gang. He's my favorite boy in this movie, someone who really lived through his youth.
He took off the uniform with baseball manifestos lined in the lining given by the senior and handed it to the junior.
"Bring it back when you enter Koshien."
"What?"
"My youth."
When crossing the barbed wire between the campus and the adult world, he looked back at Jiujo, who was alone on the rooftop watching the scenery. The only person he admired in this school was self-confused.
"Even if my body breaks down and my tears and sweat are dried up, my dreams will still exist, Koshien. I won't regret my youth." This rhetoric shocked me. I began to search for my own dream, and found that it had been left a long way on the road. After a year or two of white horses, it was so far away that I couldn't go back to pick it up.
Kimura threw a popsicle stick belonging to the campus from the window of the car. "アウト" is OUT, which means baseball out.
Yoshimura, a cowardly child who can be shouted at by anyone, longs to be attached to a powerful person. The most common thing to do is to buy people ice lollies. Unexpectedly, he has a beautiful girlfriend, which attracts countless envy at the boys' school.
"Choosing popsicles is as important as choosing my life."
"Then you have to be fast, it will melt soon."
Jiujo on the rooftop saw the beautiful girl standing at the school gate waiting for Yoshimura, and for the first time took the initiative to recruit He raised his hand and smiled shyly. Afterwards, a large number of boys shouted and waved enthusiastically at the girl from the window, and some even used their bare bottoms to attract attention. The pictures that make people laugh, I like the juvenile nature that is so straightforwardly revealed.
Asahi Boys High School is such a strange place, it's hard to tell if it's heaven or hell. There is a beautiful playground with cherry blossoms in full bloom, an autistic boy who only talks to cherry blossoms, a loving dwarf teacher who likes to grow flowers, and a rooftop where you can see the blue sky. There are also poorly graffitied corridors, toilets that are too dirty to set foot in, frustratingly bad classrooms, and a group of delinquent teenagers whizzing by with baseball bats. But young people's territory is always pure, no matter how naughty they are, they will take turns to go to the flowerbed to water the flowers they plant.
Ota was bragging to Yukino in the toilet, as if he was convinced. He arrogantly asked Xue Nan to light a cigarette for him, again and again. In fact, in his heart, he still likes and respects Yukino. It was because of this that he had to pester Xue Nan to say so much. In the face of language bombardment, Yukino, who has been silent for a long time, endured to the limit. When he suddenly raised his voice to send Yoshimura, who was watching the wind outside the door, to buy popsicles, Ota was taken aback. But stupidly, he was not alert because of this, and the tragedy inevitably happened. Yukino showed his bright steel knife as if he was subdued by a demon, and stabbed Ota to death in the dirty toilet with one knife at a time. There is no direct murder scene in the movie. The closed wooden wooden door of the toilet is pierced by a knife again and again, and blood flows down the wooden board. Yukino's sharp knife penetrated Ota's body, and the noisy world finally quieted down. Ota ended his life in a small and dirty toilet like this. He is indeed annoying, and he is not guilty of death.
Xue Nan's life also drew a stop in this toilet. He remembered his mother's words when he was a child, "What do you want to be when you grow up, Xue Nan?" He has always been a child who loves peace. gesture. But when he grew up, he became a murderer, in order to get rid of disputes. In fact, no one is wrong, they just haven't had time to see others and themselves.
He calmly washed his hands by the sink and told Yoshimura flatly that he had killed Ota. Don't pay attention to the noisy Ota, or the bald teacher who loves to lecture, you can sit on the stairs with a cigarette and hold a guitar and play a piece of your favorite tune. Snow man, this is the first time you have ever felt the most complete tranquility in your life. You were so handsome back then. But it was all too short-lived.
When Yukino was arrested by the police, he woke up from a dream, crying and begging the police to let him go. He said, "I still want to go to college!" When Superman fantasized about leaving, he turned back into an ordinary kid who couldn't bear the consequences for what he did.
The loving dwarf teacher rushed to save his students, but was easily blocked by the police. He slapped the car window and shouted, "Give Yukino back to me!" Yoshimura ate the ice lolly that was originally bought for Yukino, and stood with his girlfriend watching the process of Yukino's arrest. This scene full of black humor makes people want to laugh and cry.
The bloody case did not calm the restless children, and Asahi was still the same as before. Without Yukino and Ota, Yoshimura suddenly became arrogant and arrogant. He felt that his time had come, and he could finally turn over. Is it a ruthless character that is born, he is obviously not the material.
However, Jiu Tiao had the intention to retire. He was not as afraid of death as he seemed on the surface. Aoki didn't notice the change in his friend, he still hoped that Jiujo would be the boss here, and he hoped to live with him forever. When dealing with a child who challenged the authority of the Nine Laws beyond his capacity, he went mad and tried to gain approval from violence. Jiujo looked at him coldly, turned and left. Jiujo felt that what Aoki was doing was boring, and Aoki no longer understood his heart.
The next day, Aoki apologized to Kujo, but Kujo turned a deaf ear. He moved from the last row to the first row and began to listen carefully to the lecture. This move silently declares a clear line with Aoki. Aoki's heart was hurt by Kujo, Kujo no longer regarded him as a friend, and Kujo abandoned him.
Aoki shaved off nine pieces of hair that were cut by mistake. For this hairstyle, he was ridiculed a lot. Now he has changed his face and started a new life. He wants to be a ruthless character. Without nine rules, he also wants to dominate the campus.
But everything he did was just competing with Jiutiao, and he just wanted Jiutiao to take him seriously. He sabotaged the classroom and beat up classmates for no reason. Yoshimura, who had provoked him in the past, not only had his arm broken, but he was also forced to strip naked and jump into a dirty swimming pool. This kind of punishment seems to be a classic in Japanese high schools, and in another film about brutal youth, the boy who plays Yoshimura turns into a more brutal school bully than Aoki, driving another naked boy into the quagmire. The same behavior repeats itself over and over again with similar children.
Poor Aoki was still eagerly looking forward to reconciliation with Kujo. He's not really a ruthless character, he's just lost and hesitant to know what to do. He wanted to find his own way, but in the end he was just imitating Kujo.
Jiujo and Aoki meet on a narrow road, the two teenagers are pulling each other's hair, you punch me and punch each other in the face, and the friendship breaks down.
At the moment, Jiujo is also very depressed. He is tired of the old life of fighting and killing, and wants to think about a way out quietly and alone.
(This scene is like a good work in "Human Testimony". When old Matsuda passed away, I don't know if he left behind the words "another hero after 20 years".)
Listen carefully in class, play football alone after school, or go to the flower garden to water the flowers that they once planted together.
Kujo told the dwarf teacher that Ota's death was terrible. It turns out that the most ruthless character in the school is also a child after all. The teacher told him that some things are doomed when you were born.
Jiujo looked at Kimura and Aoki's flowers that had bloomed, and then withered, only his own flowers had not yet bloomed. Even with the same care, the flowers bloom in their own way.
"The flowers are all withered."
"They will bloom again."
"But all the flowers will wither."
"Do you water them every day?"
"Teacher, don't some flowers not bloom?"
" Flowers are meant to bloom, not wither, that's what I believe, and that's important."
Aoki, who had lost his only friend, gradually walked into the dark quagmire. He blackened other people's faces, blackened the activity room, blackened table tennis, and even blackened his own hands. He was plunged into the boundless darkness with no one to rescue him. And the nine things that should care about him most ignored him. Out of childishness, Kujo deliberately ignored Aoki. Looking at this indifferent Kujo, I seem to see my past self.
Because of some simple contradictions, I turn a blind eye to my friends and close all channels for communication. When the friend tried to get close again and again and hit the wall, there was a secret pleasure in his heart. At the beginning, he was in complete control of the situation, but as time passed, the indifference was stereotyped, and it became the inertia of having to keep pretending. But always conceited to think that there is still time, wait for the day to reconcile. It is a common problem for many young people to take the ties between friends too lightly and not know how to maintain a rare friendship. In fact, Kujo still likes Aoki, he just wanted to escape his past temporarily, so he had to cut off contact with Aoki. When he finds his way out, he will definitely come back to Aoki. But Aoki couldn't wait.
Aoki came to the rooftop, posing the image of the man who raised his arms and shouted that Kujo had drawn on his desk. How he longed to be like the nine and how he longed to surpass the nine!
He stood under the blue sky, looked at the plane flying overhead, and murmured, "My dream is to be a pilot." Such a beautiful dream came out of this bad boy's mouth, but there was only endless desolation. Everyone has a lot of dreams when they are young, but how many are finally realized? For people like Aoki, what society leaves him is only a road that never ends.
He stood alone by the railing, watching Kujo come home from school. He stood motionless, from evening to midnight, and from midnight to dawn.
The next morning, Kujo, who was going to school, saw Aoki on the rooftop. When Aoki began to tragically shout out the orders they issued in the game of courage, Kujo and the dwarf teacher realized that something was wrong and rushed upstairs like flying.
The stairs that he ran before suddenly became abnormally steep, Kujo rushed up lifelessly, and Aoki's number of reports was heard again and again. He fell, howling in despair, feeling that he would lose his only friend growing up.
When Kujo rushed to the rooftop, Aoki shouted the numbers, high fives without stopping, and fell straight back. Jiujo didn't have time to catch him, but only had time to see the process and result of his fall from a height. Aoki clapped 13 times, he finally defeated Kujo and won back Kujo's friendship. He flew in the sky in the last moments of his life like a pilot. At the moment when Aoki fell, the flowers that Kujo had been waiting for for a long time suddenly bloomed, and they were red as bright as blood.
Jiujo turned his head in dismay and saw the graffiti Aoki left on the rooftop. The shadow of Aoki who was shouting with spray paint was exactly the same as what Jiujo painted on the desk. At this moment, he could only hold his hands down, standing beside Aoki's shadow, watching Sakurabuki flying in the sky. The dead black Aoki and the surviving blue Kujo stood side by side again.
I don't think this bad school is responsible for so many tragedies, it's the same everywhere. I even think that it is more suitable for me to grow up in this kind of laissez-faire school than the model middle school that spent six years of my youth. I don't know each of them, but I am one of them. We are all too stupid to know what other people are thinking, not even ourselves. Live the best of times and do the most meaningless things. Even if others are worried about us, claim to understand us, and want to help us, we will ignore them. We need time to grow up on our own.
It's too contrived for people who have lived their youth in peace and quiet. They will ask incomprehensibly, where do people get so many dreams, where do they get so much confusion and death? Art is indeed exaggerated.
All I can say is that the youth of these people is over. While they slept, the damn thing died and the damn thing changed. When they woke up, they thought nothing had happened. For those who happen to have lived through brutal youth, this film has it all. When they are no longer young, they can occasionally take it out and look at it to cherish the past.
Qingyichun means blue spring. This spring is too long, so long that even the cherry blossoms, which are very easy to wither, seem to last forever. The teenagers left one by one, and their youth was shorter than a spring.
