Do you believe in God? That is the wrong question. Does God Trust Us? I once had a friend named Grunwalski. We were sent to Siberia together, and when you go to a work camp in Siberia, you have to ride in a cattle wagon, and you travel all day through the icy Siberian steppe without even seeing a ghost. You huddled together for warmth. It hardly makes you feel any better, you can't be convenient on the train, the only chance is when the train stops to refill the locomotive. But Grunwalski was shy, and even when we showered together, he was a little embarrassed. I used to laugh at him a lot. So, when the train stops, everyone jumps out on the tracks when it's convenient. I took a hard dig at Grunwalski, he walked away and was there alone. The train started and everyone jumped on the train, it wasn't waiting for anyone. Grunwalski was in trouble: he had gone to the back of the jungle, and it was still handy. So I saw him come out of the jungle with his trousers in his hands. He wants to catch the train. I held out my hand, but every time he reached my hand his pants would fall off all the way to his lap. He lifted his trousers and caught up again, but when he grabbed me, the trousers fell off again.
and after?
Nothing after that. He was dead, frozen to death.
This is a thing about social decline. As it slides, it keeps saying to itself: So far, so good... So far, so good... So far, so good... It doesn't matter how you go down, it matters is how you landed.
The above three paragraphs are mixed into a movie, which will appear very profound, and some have no reason. But they all come together in an equally indescribable film. The film is called "Hate" (I don't know why it is translated as "Angry Youth"), and the film was shot in 1995, that year, director Matthew Cassowitz was only 28 years old. He directed this ghostly and angry black-and-white film with the attitude of being born out of the sky. At that time, with the anger and anger of young people, Matthew Cassowitz took a stance of bravely grabbing the upper position. In his works, he described the anger, confusion, confusion and dissatisfaction with the society of young people. The right to speak exhaled a powerful cry.
As an angry youth film, it appeared a year after "Sunny Day" (1994) and before "Trainspotting" (1996). However, many years later, everyone remembers "Sunny Days" and "Trainspotting" more, which is somewhat unfair to "Angry Youth". In any case, as a youth film, "Angry Youth" cannot be missed. Because, those years, I have been angry. We used to be angry.
However, having said that, the background of the story of "Angry Youth" is the "May Storm" that happened in Paris in 1968. It is said that Paris is really a city of riots. It seems that no city has experienced as many riots as Paris. The "Paris Commune" familiar to the Chinese is one of the riots. By 2005, modern Paris is still There was a massive riot. And in 1968, it almost rewrote the history of France, so it is also widely known. The May storm in 1968, the background is related to my kingdom of heaven. It was the spirit of Mao in China and the spirit of Guevara in Cuba that set off a left-wing movement on the streets of Paris, France. Students and people in Paris, France, took to the streets, creating chaos and making the then President Charles de Gaulle almost uncontrollable. situation.
The riots that occurred in the suburbs of Paris in 2005 caused strong dissatisfaction among descendants of African-American immigrants and took to the streets because of racial discrimination. The story and the situation in "Angry Youth" is more like the riot in 2005, and it seems that it has nothing to do with the May storm of 1968. Although, what happened in 2005 happened 10 years after the movie was released. In "Angry Youth", the Maystorm exists only as a background. Vince, a descendant of Jewish immigrants, Herbert, a black man, and Said, a descendant of Arab descendants, are from the bottom of the society. The three are good brothers on the streets of Paris, and their other brother, Albert, was arrested by the police. This Albert, who doesn't show up, is the heart of the film, because what his other three brothers do, they all revolve around him. Because of Albert's quilt, the three of them divided and closed, bickered with each other, and had a friendship that supported each other. Moreover, their idleness and wandering around are all because of Albert's mood after being laid. Of course, if Albert was right in front of them, they would probably still be hanging around like this, and still talking nonsense. But the latter kind of nonsense is obviously much more relaxed and more comfortable than the previous one.
Vince picked up a gun, stuffed it in his pants, and swung around with his buddy for some reason. In fact, just like the paragraph at the beginning, every step they take is just so far, so far... So far, so good... So far, so good... Time, from the earliest 10 am: 38 It was not until 6:01 in the morning of the next day that the tragedy of youth suddenly fell to the ground. Vince dies suddenly in the fire of an arrogant policeman. As for the shooting between Herbert and the police, there was only one shot. As for who died, it was impossible to stop the spread of the tragedy. Because here, there is not much difference between the police and the gangsters.
Youth is burning in the night sky, and tragedy is falling rapidly. On September 16, 2012, the tragedy that happened in China is not the same story of "Angry Youth". In the smashing, smashing and looting activities all over China, most of the participants are young people. In their own ignorance, they let the youth who have nowhere to be burned and squandered. Until the most tragic bloodshed occurred in Xi'an, several families have been restless since then. From 1968, to 1989, to 2005, and now to 2012, the restlessness and anger of youth have blossomed, all of which are bitter and dark. That way of landing is not worth advocating. Because there are too many tragedies, we do not want to see.
Therefore, the existence of "Angry Youth", the biggest meaning is to tell us how to place our youth. It must be outside the plot and follow the plot, and the final ending must be the most tragic tragedy. No matter who dies at the end of the movie, it is the same tragedy.
