At that time, the heavy rain was pouring, and the raindrops splashed and fell into small red rain flowers, which were instantly defeated on the bluestone by the street.
The whole street was filled with terrified people, except for Dong Shu, who was dying. The moment he left the world, a strange smile appeared on his face. It seems to be a mockery, and it seems to be a relief. who knows?
That summer, the most peaceful sea. The afterglow of the setting sun made the whole sea glow with golden light. Yuan Rui, Dong Shu, Shan Tai, Rong Zhe, four young friends, in the light surging of the waves, were they swimming for Cai Aolun and the turtles? Hurry up and argue. Time slipped away in childish and serious arguments. In middle school, the same environment and different personalities made them grow along their own trajectories. Yuan Rui and Dong Shu were dropped out of school and slipped into the underworld, and their lives have been ups and downs ever since. Shan Tai and Rong Zhe went to college. Like thousands of people around them, they were unhappy, ordinary and ordinary. On the ancient and mottled streets in the early 1980s, only the echoes of four people's feet running vigorously reverberated, witnessing the ignorance and frivolity of the four passionate youths.
Shantai was besieged in the cinema, Yuan Rui, Dong Shu, and Rong Zhe went to help, and opponents came from all directions like a tide, gathering layer by layer, endlessly. The four people are like a lonely boat in the stormy sea, swallowed by boundless despair, but they never leave, and they depend on each other for life and death. Because, at that time, they were friends like brothers and siblings, and they relied on each other, which was a real friendship.
As adults, the four parted ways. Rongzhe got married, Shantai went to study abroad, and Yuanrui and Dongshu belonged to two gangs and became rivals. Yuan Rui's subordinate Duo Lu plotted against Dong Shu, but was killed by Dong Shu, and the two sides finally turned against each other. Dongshu betrayed the gang boss, Yuanrui was hired to assassinate Dongshu, in the tavern, Yuanrui persuaded Dongshu to go abroad to avoid trouble, Dongshu refused, and let Yuanrui run away instead. The moment he walked out of the tavern, Dong Shu stepped into the threshold of death. Three years later, Yuan Rui frankly admitted in court that he was the master of killing Dong Shu. In the inquiry room, Shan Tai burst into tears and asked him why he had to admit it, Yuan Rui said firmly: I am confused.
In fact, what puzzled Yuan Rui was whether there were any real friends in his life. Yuan Rui once wrote to Shan Tai and Rong Zhe, what is a real friend? The teacher wrote on the blackboard: Friends, long-term and close partners. Shan Tai is not his real friend, he is just Yuan Rui's dream that he can't go back if he misses it. In Shan Tai, Yuan Rui saw the result if he could choose another way of growing up. Dongshu is not his real friend either. In Yuan Rui's heart, maybe Dongshu is just a dog in his childhood and a wolf in adulthood. Otherwise, why would Yuan Rui push the girl Dong Shu loves to Shan Tai's side and marry him? Why, on the streets of heavy rain, Yuan Rui's subordinates would stab Dong Shu's body more than 30 times? As for Rongzhe, he is just a pistachio gag, and he will never be Yuanrui's long-term and close partner. Or maybe, when Yuan Rui walked out of the interrogation room, he really understood the answer to the question when he was a child: people are on the water, and the turtles are underwater, and the final result of the competition is no result. Just like between him and Dongshu, Shantai, and Rongzhe, the different growth trajectories doomed that their respective lives could never intersect, and it was also doomed that he could not maintain a long and intimate relationship with them. Then, let this confused life come to an abrupt end, and let the childhood friends survive in the memory.
This is the highest-grossing film "Friends" in Korean film history, a story about growing up and about friends. The film is called the Korean version of Once Upon a Time in America, but it will never reach the heights of Once Upon a Time in America. The theme of this film is the story of the growth of four teenagers, which is somewhat similar to "Sleeper" and "Basketball Diary". However, the tone of "Friends" is gentle, and it is only a shallow exploration of the growth process between individuals and a very small group. Diary" depicts a decadent and lost generation, and the heavy theme of angering the harm of drugs is incomparable. But after watching this film, I was still stunned by the acting skills of Liu Wuxing and Jang Donggun. The film's camera cut angles are very particular, the visual effects are excellent, and the editing is also very clean. It is an excellent work.
I like the brownish-yellow tone of "Friends", the soothing and long narrative style of "Friends", and I like to chew the past slowly in every ordinary night, which occasionally evokes memories of someone fading away, and the kind that was once evoked. The feeling of friends, but in a trance and blurred, a little bit clear, unstoppable, timeless.
